Because they're confident Delance is in?

Love the way this class keeps coming together. Upgrades all over the field.

Ben Bradeson fills that role because he said today that he is going to begin at guard once he gets to Michigan.
December 29th, 2015 at 2:07 AM ^
Bredeson has always been a guard. With Onwenu and Bredeson at guard, and Swenson and Hamilton as RTs who could also play guard, the coaches really need a true LT prospect which Delance is. And even if he's rated lower on the recruiting sites, the coaches have him way up on their board, they love his potential.

Never makes sense to me when a guy waits himself out of an offer he planned on taking eventually... If that's where you want to go then pull the trigger. I guess the alternative is potentially decommitting but Davis has seemed like as much of a lock as you can get for almost a year.

I believe that Hamilton and Swenson are seen as OTs and Bredson and Onewenu are OG.

Michigan stopped recruiting him.
December 29th, 2015 at 10:04 AM ^
That doesn't addres the point that he never committed, because he was looking for something "Michigan wasn't giving him."
I wish him luck except when playing Michigan, but this just seemed like it was not to be.

Despite only Ace and a 247 basketball writer (today) who picked Delance to UM the timing of all this feels "positive". Webb said last week Davis was going to be a NSD decision and then suddenly he moved it up to this Saturday - the same time Delance said he would announce.
It would indicate to me (and I am not using my homer glasses i.e everyone that did not pick UM was "cooled on") that like Pie Young he wanted to be a Wolverine but UM has higher rated guys on their board and said higher guy on board seems to be turning our way.
Truly 1st world problems to turn away a top 75 guard.
I just wish Wiltfong and/or Lorenz (preferably both) would weigh in - they don't even have a cloudy ballz or Texas pick in for him; just no pick at all which is rare for a commit UM is heavily involved with.
Looking at LSU's "warm interest" it is bevy of top 100 players - a sickening amount so I even wonder if they have room for Delance really. They are in for so many players in the last month it is amazing esp considering Miles is no sure thing there long term.
p.s. totally unrelated, Bredenson said he would be competing specifically at right guard next year even though down the road he could be at other positions. Shots fired Mr. Kalis. Would be nearly unheard of a true freshman to displace a 5th year senior but at least we know where he is going to compete.

That's not a "shots fired" moment. Thats just finding out where Bredeson is starting out. Kalis will be gone after 2016, so they are giving Bredeson the chance to learn that position first to take it over eventaully. Out of the OL coming in, Bredeson is said to have the most positional flexibility, so down the road he might be best suited to fix a hole if one of the others doesnt pan out.

That only lasts as long as those guys are down, and ignores the fact that Baylor, TCU and a bunch of SEC schools are cleaning up most of them... Texas - like Michigan - will be back eventually, and then they will recruit Texas like they always have.
I'd love to get Delance, but I don't think its going to have a big impact on recruiting Texas.

Hello Delance.
24: Dylan Crawford
25: Rashan Gary

We have little receiver depth after Darboh and Chesson, who are both seniors. Hoke did not recruit that position well. Harris and Perry have potential, but some of the others could very well be looking to transfer.
December 29th, 2015 at 12:18 PM ^
December 29th, 2015 at 2:47 AM ^
not sure we don't take both if Long and Hill want to come here. We are losing our only three CBs with experience after next year. Way too thin at CB unless we can grab an instant contributor in 2017.

My point is that I don't think you can just take 'the best available' with the amount of holes the roster is going to have after the 2016 season. There's already 4 OL committed, with seemingly Delance targeted (have read that Delance s really high up on the coaches overall board) as the 5th. This coming after taking 4 OL last class. Those are good numbers. And who committed from the satelitte camps committed? Dytarious Johnson (LB), Weaver (DT), Enis (RB), Vic (ATH/LB), Richardson (CB). UM also took McKeon (TE) at it's own camp, St Juste (reclassified 2017 CB) was obscure, and Sir Patric Scott (CB) are the only under the radar committs UM took this summer I think. I look at that list and I don't see someone who took Davis' spot. UM needs DTs, LBs, TE's, more than a 6th OL in this class. Enis is already looking elsewhere (as is Weaver it seems), so it's basically two CBs taken that may take spots from high rated guys UM has wanted and needs (Long and Hill).
And frankly, I hate to say it, but if Harbaugh wanted to make room for a 6th OL, he would.

Not an indication of where things stand with Delance
