A few good prospects in the portal. M. Dudek mentioned last week that the portal was would be a key resource and we would see some results soon. But regardless of how we get DTs, Can't do much if we don't have the right coaches in place to coach these guys up. I rather see some changes in the staff and then get the right defensive linemen.

The idea that they should hold off recruiting for weeks (months maybe) for staff changes makes absolutely no sense. Sure, you need coaches to coach guys up, but if you put off recruiting there will be nobody to receive that coaching. We need bodies at dt and cb, in a bad way and we need them asap
December 22nd, 2020 at 10:16 AM ^
I just don't get why they wouldn't cast a wide net at the transfer portal if they aren't. Go after all the DTs and CBs. There are band-aids to be had.
December 22nd, 2020 at 1:47 PM ^
There’s this thing called “scholarship limits.” We can’t just pluck 20 guys out of the transfer portal at 2 positions. You HAVE to be selective
December 22nd, 2020 at 10:25 AM ^
You had me at DT.
December 22nd, 2020 at 10:30 AM ^
I had a dream last night that we were playing one of those extremely obese 600 pounders you see on shows like, “My 600 Pound Life.” He was remarkably agile, but I couldn’t understand why he was playing defensive end instead of defensive tackle.
December 22nd, 2020 at 10:44 AM ^
Lol it’s sad that I can totally see Michigan doing that
December 22nd, 2020 at 10:50 AM ^
What is going on in your life?
December 22nd, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
It's bad Toby. And I left out the weirdest part. They were wearing the home uniforms WITH BLUE PANTS!!!!

Did not expect to read' Remarkably Agile 600 pounder" this morning.
December 22nd, 2020 at 11:52 AM ^
What about pad level?
December 22nd, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
We need rotation players at DT. If we have enough at least they will be fresh.
December 22nd, 2020 at 10:45 AM ^
I'll take Timmy Horne, Jason Bourne or Foghorn Leghorn.
December 22nd, 2020 at 11:23 AM ^
But what about Rip Torn?
December 22nd, 2020 at 11:02 AM ^
Let the decline continue for another year, maybe someone in Michigan will have the guts to fire harbaugh. We cant recruit at areas of needs, then we wonder why we get run on by all teams
December 22nd, 2020 at 11:59 AM ^
Sounds like you are hoping for the team to fail next year just so Harbaugh can be fired. If so, here's a gift for you on behalf of the players that put their blood, sweat and tears into the team (unlike your contribution, which is...posting shit on a message board?):
December 22nd, 2020 at 11:37 AM ^
Well, pick em up!

The transfer portal is loaded, if we have the room we could get 3-4 starters out of it. Getting a big man from Charlotte would be good, those small schools have talent too and when they develop into a big time player, they look to transfer.
Is the door still open for George Rooks.
December 22nd, 2020 at 12:15 PM ^
Do want
December 22nd, 2020 at 1:31 PM ^
You are an Enchanter, Tim.
Make it happen!
December 22nd, 2020 at 12:21 PM ^
Did Michigan get a “Like” back yet?
December 22nd, 2020 at 12:41 PM ^
While I am glad to see them going after some DT transfers, how about trying this out, recruiting some! You can't tell me that a school like UM can't get anyone with a pulse at DT? Instead of recruiting projects start getting guys who have the build to play the position. What has happened at this position alone should get Harbaugh and Brown fired as it will take years to recover from it since it takes 2-3 years to get DT's up to speed. At this point they seriously need to consider moving some OL to the position.
December 22nd, 2020 at 1:36 PM ^
Like everything else over the past 2 decades, UM is 5 years behind the rest of the elite in CFB.
Complex passing offense, Running QBs, Hybrid offense, recruiting D-line first, etc, etc.
December 22nd, 2020 at 2:06 PM ^
I have no inside information but from the outside it looks like this subject is one of the reasons and maybe the primary reason Greg Mattison is no longer on the staff. (It seems that Mattison saw this coming and wasn't allowed to stop it from happening,)
I like Don Brown and Greg Mattison but I can't shake the image in my mind of Mattison (after the 2018 OSU game) telling Brown, "See, you should have listened to me."
Stating the obvious, something is amiss.
December 22nd, 2020 at 1:09 PM ^
I'd rather he was a 6'2 345lb orb shaped, immovable mass; but will take. Hopefully has a good first step.

Honk if yer Horne
