It’s going to be interesting to see which RBs stick moving forward. One more year for Evans and Tru (I believe?).
Charbonnet is the real deal and Gray is too. I liked what I saw from Turner earlier this year in limited carries. Wonder if Haskins stays at RB or moves to LB.
Also have Samuels who I believe will be considered a true junior

I would guess that Hassan ends up at the viper spot. I know the staff had tried Barret there but it seems he heading back to offense.
We will also see a lot of attrition from this years class I’m hearing around 6-7 one of which is a running back.
November 6th, 2018 at 5:37 PM ^
Maybe, but I don't see Haskins having enough speed for the viper spot (4.74 in his Hello post). By comparison, Hudson runs a 4.61 and Velazquez somewhere in the 4.5s If he switches to LB, he would probably play inside.
November 6th, 2018 at 5:38 PM ^
This years class meaning the 2018 class?
6-7 from a 20 person class seems like A LOT. Not surprised at all if a RB leaves. Never made much sense to take Barrett, Turner and Haskins unless it was highly likely one or more could/would play defense.
And with the glut of DBs in the class, seems like a couple leaving there wouldn't be a surprise at all.
Beyond that, there'd have to be some surprises/disappointments.

I’m hearing 2-3 defensive backs at least one running back and few others that I’ll keep to myself. You will see quite a few transfer from the freshman class. There will be a few more.
Ill stick to my guns that Hassan will get a shot to compete on this team. Never know how things pan out. Especially with the talent and depth this team has.
November 6th, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
Isn’t he already too heavy to play Viper? I vaguely remember someone on the staff even commenting that he will probably put on a lot more mass.
November 6th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
I'll be happy if/when Gray signs.
November 6th, 2018 at 6:50 PM ^
From what I’ve seen of Charbonnet I think he could step on campus and be a 15 carry a game back from day 1. He’s got a fantastic combination of size and footwork. I could easily him and Evans splitting carries next year.

Don't forget Giles Jackson!
November 6th, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
Excuse my ignorance but I've never heard of this guy. Does he have some backstory that made people follow his development?
November 6th, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
Yes, he's a member of the Revenge Tour posse.
November 6th, 2018 at 5:35 PM ^
I found him. He’s listed under the name Shea Patterson

These topics are always fascinating. People treat it like Madden. I think you can identify who has played team sports based on their responses. You just don't throw people on the field so fans can determine if their thoughts based on his star rating are true.
Think about the dynamic. I know you earned the 4th string RB job and busted your ass the last 9 months but I'm putting in the 6th string guy because fans want to see him play.
Come on people get a grip. The whole program is built around earning your spot thru hard work.

Saw him working out at the IM building a few weeks back, so i thought it was a little odd. The IM building is nice, but I'm sure its nothing next to the Team's facility.
Granted, I have seen football players at the IM building before. But i think its usually to play rec basketball.
Hope he at least gets his degree before he goes anywhere. Best of luck to him.

Will still probably go down as the most confounding recruit of the Harbaugh era.
November 6th, 2018 at 6:32 PM ^
im rattled that 20 minutes after reading this, Nick Baumgardner reports his transfer
November 6th, 2018 at 6:33 PM ^
Taylor transferring per Ablauf.
November 6th, 2018 at 6:34 PM ^
Beat me to it!
November 6th, 2018 at 6:40 PM ^
Dave Ablauf tweeted that he is transferring.
November 6th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
He gone per Dave Ablauf.
Good catch OP.
November 6th, 2018 at 6:54 PM ^
Okay, Term *airquotes*, what's the story here? Why are you looking up Kurt Taylor in Week 11? Who tipped you off? Who do you know? Who does Number 2 work for?
I've got my eye on you.

I'm a college football nerd who has a Michigan roster spreadsheet I keep updated.... I look at it every few weeks and just noticed he was gone
November 6th, 2018 at 8:51 PM ^
He gone
