Cam should gave stayed another year for sure. Ojabo should start to come on after being healthy for an offseason and able to be back at 100%. Achilles Injuries take about 2 years to get back 100% both mentally and physically. Dax should be much better this year playing in a more comfortable spot. He had some ups and downs with Cincy so far but still had all the tools to be an excellent NFL player.
He did undersell him quite a bit. Think at one point he was rated as the best Olineman in the game. He is an All- Pro type of lineman and like you said the cornerstone of the line they are building in New England.
Appreciate the time and effort yoh put in but your evaluations on some of these guys are a little off and others are excellent and spot on. Hutch for example, yes every player can improve but he plays a shit ton of snaps because the Lions have no other guy that can get pressure like him. So essentially every time game plans around him because Detroit has no other threat to get pressure teams plan around. To me the Lions should have gotten another end that teams worry about because that will make Hutch that much better To me the Lions must think Houston or Davenport are the answer along with McNeil who can now do what he is best at in the middle. Hutch is almost always double or tripled teamed. Hell he pretty much got the NFL to look at how far tackles can line up in the backfield Also he did just lead the league in QB pressures. I could go on. Lions dont have a stacked WR room now or when DPJ came in. We have good players but after St. Brown there is no proven guy that teams are worried about. BM should have stayed he has rons of talent and potential and is now 2 years completely healthy sunce his junior year in high school. He will play in the NFL. Uche was not used correctly by the previous Pats staff and was even mentioned by some Pats staff members. He gor un BB doghouse and once u get there it is hard to come out. Mayo should get the best out of him. If not send him to the Lions. Dallas has now one of the best TE duos in the NFL. Words in Dallas are Schoon would be a starter if Jake didn't break out last year. Mazi started off great and had a good couple games then he fell off. Word is or was his conditioning. At Michigan he rotated more and woth Dallas he stayed on the field more. I expect a better 2nd year for him.
Great job with your write up and taking the time to inform the great people on here about our Wolverines in the NFL
Wasn't sure I can't tell who responds to who after so many responses and more responses. Still it gets old all these so called fans ripping on a young kid for doing what they or their family thinks is best for them as they dont know anything that goes on behind closed doors. Even some of us thay know alot that goes on we still dont know everything on every person as some stuff is kept private and not meant foe the public to hear. All those who keep supporting our kids and former kids a big thumbs up.
Suited up back in the day, but the point is they are ripping on a young kid who played his heart out for Michigan and actually shot 40% from 3 point and was pretty decent for us last year. He wasnt some scrub who sucked. I am sticking up for the kid from some guy on his computer ripping on a now former Michigan player. Just dont know why fans come on here to rip forme players for Michigan. Say a former player was convicted for rape or murder then have at it as I will most likely join in but TW seems like a good kid who did nothing but try his best at Michigan.
McGregor should have came back and he could have played alot more and improved his draft stock. He is still worth a look unfortunately his injuries derailed his career earlier.
The 2 I am most surprised weren't drafted are Wallace and BM. Nugent and Barnhart were rated as 7th rd or UDFA before draft. Woth some having Nugent rated almost a 5th in some publications.
I didn't think they would draft a RB but this guy is versatile can play all safety positions plus a PR and or KR and RB. I admit if the sole plan is to uae him as a RB then I am a bit confused but then again I am not in the Lions organization and they have way more time and money to scout players then I or any of us could think of
Wallace will be drafted and if by chance he isnt he will be a priority FA. His PFF score was great and he showed out pretty well against the 3 best WR units we faced.
Also he was ranked the 2nd best defender PFF ranked on our 2023 defense.
He will get touches if Williams gets hurt but I dont see a 50/50 share at all. Hoping Blake gets touches but I wanted him to go to a place he could be the primary back.
That sucks for Blake, Kyren is a stud RB so I dont see him getting many touches unless Kyren gets hurt. But also depends on what some people think significant touches is? To me 15 a game is in the range. I am hoping Blake becomes the #1 back though.
Nubin considered best safety will or should be gone as well as Cooper and Newton. Also we have no 3rd or 4th rd pick. Jones in the 3rd round WTF? He is looked at as a 6th rd at earliest or a UDFA. Bro no offense I admire the effort but do some research on where we pick and where most guys are expected to go
We dont need a QB, we have Hendon Hooker, also Safety pick will be fir depth as our Secondary is set foe the starters. Dont waste a pick on a kicker unless it is the best in the draft but still that is iffy imo. They are UDFA.
I am sure he is going to get the best people possible which might lead to someone leaving but he isnt going to force a player out. Sure he has spoken with Jace about becoming a walkon.
That is an absurd comment about them not being on the team. First of May wouldnt do that and 2nd if any coach did that you know how shitty that would look and how bad that would hurt us in the long run with recruits or transfers.
First off when you enter the portal you dont lose your scholarship and can return to school anytime. Now it may not be good for some players as certain coaches might hold a grudge and football is a little different when it comes to walk ons. Also last I knew scholarships are based off conference rules. Big18 is when you sign as a freshman you get 4 years of play and 5 years if you redshirt, transfers get what ever they come in as to graduate or 1 extra year if they choose to have a redshirt year. If they come in as a Junior they get 2 years. Grads get one year or however many playable years they have left, depending if they have had injuries. SEC which could have changed was on a year to year basis. Might have changed but that was a couple years ago last I knew.
Tre, Gayle and Jones are going to be playing 30 minutes a night on most nights. Phat Phat will most likely redshirt along with Cason. Pippen will be the freshman to get the most minutes due to his high upside. Also Jones will play PG quite a bit like he did for North Texas but this offense isnt going to use its pg like Dug was used.
Walters is? As far as I been told, no formal practice or depth chart has been made up. So far only 3 starting positions are locked up. Tre, Gayle and VG.
Will T. will get some run as long as he shoots it like last year and has improvement everywhere else. He isnt some scrub like many on here are acting like he is. In case u havent been following Will has been the leader of the few that were left and a person Dusty already trusts. Not sure if you been around campus or the team but those are the whispers coming out of the BBall program. Most likely he will be one of the captians of the team this fall
If that is the reason why wouldn't he have transferred when they all left or much sooner instead of after the spring game? To me it was some team saw him play in the spring game and liked what they saw, sees the potential and offered him $$$$$$$$.
He gets a new car and $25000 in cash from the new school
Ben Wallace went from a small school to the NBA and turned out to be a pretty good rebounder. Rebounding is one of the easiest skill to predict on all levels. Jaren Jackson is athletic and block shots yet he is a shitty rebounder.
From everything said Wolf is not going to be playing PF. Unless May changes up what he had always done. If other lineups play 2 seven footers then May may go with Goldin and Wolf but most likely Wolf will be mainly backing up the 5. Especially now we have a 6 foot 10 power forward. Will if he shoots like last year will get about 15-20 mins a game. May likes to play smaller but in the Big Ten he might have to go a little bigger depending on matchups. Will is the captain of the team also.
Bell is 6 feet 3 they say and we do have the freshman coming in. But yes 1 big WR would be great but getting more then 1 WR in the portal will be tough unless they are young. Grad transfers come for playing time and they are looking for NIL so getting more then 1 is unrealistic.
Don't think a 4th lb on our depth chart would be getting any NIL money to come here. He went to Charlotte to get playing time and if he wants NIL money then he needs a lot smaller football program. Indiana would be a school that would come to mind unless non power 4 schools can pay some NIL.
We need players no matter what they arent either or players. Plus Pippen is right out of high school and his brother was a 4 year star at Vandy if I am not mistaken.
As for the little guy WR do we really need another K.Raymond on the roster? To me Kaliff is good and we don't need to replace him yet. Would rather get a bigger WR as we dont have much in the way of big WRs
Lions did need a RB last year they had only one guy DM, and CR. Saying Swift was there is not true he was not going to be on the roster. LB WAS A BIG NEED. AA WAS NOT A starting level LB and imo still isnt and that is the reason JC was drafted. Edge is a big need as we could not get pressure when it mattered in the playoffs. Hutch is a stud and could have so much more of an impact if we have another edge teams are worried about. CB is a big need this year also.
U are correct but also people think 40 times make a QB less sackable which isnt true. The way the manipulate the pocket, how dast they can read and get throws off and can they sense the rush coming and a few other things. Brady is one guy I keep coming back to I know he is the GOAT but probably the slowest 40 of any QB with his skill.

Pretty sure he should have stayed another year also.

Pretty sure the Million he got to commit to Arkansas was helpful.

Another person who obviously doesnt watch or pay attention to or know basketball.

All these people who talk crap about JJ dont know shit about football. Michigan runs the most pro program in all of college football.
Tampering, they offered him money through back channels.
Wallace will be drafted and if by chance he isnt he will be a priority FA. His PFF score was great and he showed out pretty well against the 3 best WR units we faced.
Also he was ranked the 2nd best defender PFF ranked on our 2023 defense.
Pretty good call there Thad I have agree on that except maybe Barnhart due to him being able to play all 5 positions.
He was coming off major knee surgery and was never 100% the whole season. So of course he didn't look like the previous season.
He will get touches if Williams gets hurt but I dont see a 50/50 share at all. Hoping Blake gets touches but I wanted him to go to a place he could be the primary back.
That sucks for Blake, Kyren is a stud RB so I dont see him getting many touches unless Kyren gets hurt. But also depends on what some people think significant touches is? To me 15 a game is in the range. I am hoping Blake becomes the #1 back though.

Lions do not have a 3rd or 4th rd pick.
They have Craig Reynolds as a 3rd RB. RB can be had as an UDFA. Plus they only have a 2 rd pick and then they dont pick until the 5th rd.
I bet Penix gets drafted in 1st rd, maybe Atlanta at 8.
I am sure he is going to get the best people possible which might lead to someone leaving but he isnt going to force a player out. Sure he has spoken with Jace about becoming a walkon.

Does not mean Burnett is gone. Pretty sure he isnt going to add his name to the transfer pool this late in. Stoj is going to be only a sophomore.
We still have room and like in football with NIL scholarships are not set in stone.
If that is the reason why wouldn't he have transferred when they all left or much sooner instead of after the spring game? To me it was some team saw him play in the spring game and liked what they saw, sees the potential and offered him $$$$$$$$.

Thumbs up great comment some others just dont seem to understand the game of Bball

All Big Ten his senior year is my prediction!!!
Bro, doesnt mean we still arent going to get the FAU guys. We need 9 or 10 guys.
Doesn't matter if you start what matters is are you on the court in crunch time!
Michigan has offered Kent State DT CJ West.
Not sure if I seen it on here.
Was wondering when he was going to jump the ship. Should jump to one of the Michigan MAC schools so he can try to play WR.
Thought for sure he was going to KSU with Dug. Fire those guys who reported that. JK
All about the benjamins baby!!
Don't think a 4th lb on our depth chart would be getting any NIL money to come here. He went to Charlotte to get playing time and if he wants NIL money then he needs a lot smaller football program. Indiana would be a school that would come to mind unless non power 4 schools can pay some NIL.
I agree, i haven't seen Rooths play but I think that is premature. Burnett will start this year to good of a player.
Manek was like 6 foot 8 and played both forward positions. The fact they are both white is about it.
We need players no matter what they arent either or players. Plus Pippen is right out of high school and his brother was a 4 year star at Vandy if I am not mistaken.
As for the little guy WR do we really need another K.Raymond on the roster? To me Kaliff is good and we don't need to replace him yet. Would rather get a bigger WR as we dont have much in the way of big WRs
Lions did need a RB last year they had only one guy DM, and CR. Saying Swift was there is not true he was not going to be on the roster. LB WAS A BIG NEED. AA WAS NOT A starting level LB and imo still isnt and that is the reason JC was drafted. Edge is a big need as we could not get pressure when it mattered in the playoffs. Hutch is a stud and could have so much more of an impact if we have another edge teams are worried about. CB is a big need this year also.
U are correct but also people think 40 times make a QB less sackable which isnt true. The way the manipulate the pocket, how dast they can read and get throws off and can they sense the rush coming and a few other things. Brady is one guy I keep coming back to I know he is the GOAT but probably the slowest 40 of any QB with his skill.
