2022 CB Bobby Taylor names M to top 3
Katy (TX) Katy cornerback Bobby Taylor named Michigan to his top 3. He's a 4-star, the #25 cornerback, and #208 overall.
That's the good news.
But the son of former Notre Dame cornerback (and 2nd round pick) Bobby Taylor is expected to commit to Texas A&M.
Either way, Michigan wouldn't even be in the discussion if not for new co-DC Mo Linguist. Michigan hadn't offered until Linguist was hired.

Don't gig'em ?
February 15th, 2021 at 5:49 PM ^
Or saw 'em off ? (It's a pretty small emoji, but I think that's a bull)
BTW: when are they gonna change their fight song? They haven't played UT since 2011 and I don't know when they'll play again. It'd be like UM having a song about a rivalry with Chicago.

I was just watching this the other day. It's a good one, esp. second half.
February 15th, 2021 at 6:46 PM ^
Thanks, Sopwith. I don't remember this one too much, but I hope that's excusable because I was only 1 at the time ?. I'll be sure to check it out.

When is the last time you saw two left-handed QBs facing off in one game? It look me a minute to realize it, and I'm left-handed! Very cool...
February 15th, 2021 at 9:16 PM ^
I was at that game—TA&M had a big RB named George Woodard who was getting a lot of hype. We didn’t have much trouble shutting down their one-dimensional option attack since it’s what we ran then too.

Remarkable how frequently the ball is put on the turf in this game between two top 5 teams. Was this an outlier, or was ball security just crap in the 70s?
February 16th, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Man, Michigan's energy coming out of the tunnel was incredible. They were jumping around like they'd already scored!
February 15th, 2021 at 7:36 PM ^
In fairness, our fight song calls us, "the Champions of the West!"
We aren't in the western US anymore and haven't been for a very long time, and we aren't even in the West division anymore.
Do I think we should change it? Absolutely not!
February 15th, 2021 at 5:10 PM ^
We’ve got time to change his mind.
February 15th, 2021 at 6:31 PM ^
February 15th, 2021 at 5:13 PM ^
He’s a 100% medium to A&M so there’s a chance.
February 15th, 2021 at 5:14 PM ^
I really appreciate you managing expectations appropriately. CB recruit watching is a lot like DT where we need them ALL
February 15th, 2021 at 5:35 PM ^
We need ALL of the Taylors. Billy, Bobby, Jimmy, - all of them.
February 15th, 2021 at 5:41 PM ^
All of the CBs are to TAMU. Wiltfong included.

Andy?
February 15th, 2021 at 5:50 PM ^
Only if Barney Fife comes with him!
February 15th, 2021 at 7:39 PM ^
James? Livingston?
February 15th, 2021 at 7:48 PM ^
Don’t forget Tim the tool man Taylor, Jill, Randy, Mark, and Brad!!
February 15th, 2021 at 5:42 PM ^
He has a good football name, Bobby Taylor sounds like a CB therefore he must be really good!

Magnus: I'm disappointed that there is no embedded link to your site!
February 15th, 2021 at 7:22 PM ^
I'll work on that for next time. I hate to disappoint people.
February 16th, 2021 at 8:08 AM ^
Thanks. And thanks for the content here and at your site.

If we can't get him maybe we can get Dreshun Miller. He's supposedly the #3 rated pro prospect at CB in college.

Rumor has it he’s heading to the $EC
February 15th, 2021 at 9:15 PM ^
Welp, I'm old.
February 16th, 2021 at 8:10 AM ^
Old is a state of mind, not a number of years since birth. Think young and you'll be young - but don't forget what you've learned.

I’m pretty sure this is actually Taylor’s second top 3 as I think he originally had Bama, TAMU, and Michigan. I would also like to say that Michigan made Georgia 4 star TE Oscar Delps top 13. While it’s a top 13 I would definitely say that Michigan is near the top of that list with Georgia and Alabama. Also 11W Insider Andrew Ellis believes that Michigan leads for 4 star WR Kaleb Brown and that OSU has cooled on Brown. This is contrary to what Michigan Insider Steve Lorenz says who thinks that OSU leads and that they’re pushing hard for his commitment. So believe who you want.
February 16th, 2021 at 8:37 AM ^
Whether we get him or not, It’s encouraging to see more focus in that part of the country. We seem to have shifted our concentration from the East, since Don Brown was let go.
February 16th, 2021 at 9:48 AM ^
The problem is that everyone's recruiting Texas, whereas very few people are recruiting the Northeast very hard. Michigan has been able to get pretty much whoever they wanted from Connecticut, Massachusetts, etc. Michigan could feasibly offer 50 kids from Texas and not land a single one, whereas Michigan could offer 5 kids in Connecticut and land 3 of them.
Then of course there's the question of quality, but Michigan has done pretty well in the Northeast with their evaluations.
February 16th, 2021 at 12:30 PM ^
I think the quantity thing has gone both ways. For all the complaining that fans have done regarding Brown's Northeast focus, it is true that we've done a good job hitting on those players. For me though, one of the issues is that there simply aren't enough quality players in the NE to fill the holes that have been developing on our roster. So it's great that we've been pulling some hidden gems out of the region the past few years, but unfortunately there haven't been nearly enough to keep the team thriving.
Really, I think the anger regarding the NE focus isn't so much about recruiting the NE itself, but the fact that our recruiting has been slipping in most other regions; the NE is just an easy target.
