Recruits that could have been

Submitted by Losher on

Does anybody watch college football, and see some of the guys who were committed to Michigan or someone who seemed to be very interested in Michigan and think about what they could have done here? 

Something I have thought about throughout this year while seeing guys who were committed to Michigan make plays at other schools. This is a discussion that comes up every now and then on the board  but with the state of college football right now it may be a good time to discuss some of the guys we wished would have ended up in the maize and blue.

NO. JUST NO.

Not this week.

Remember that week when you got fired for something that was not your fault, and when your buddies took you to the bar to comiserate, they spent the whole night talking about all the women that dumped you for someone else?

Yeah. Just like that.

I wanted him, but I thought he was a receiver.  Watched a couple of his HS games when he was still committed to us, and was certain his upside was higher on that side of the ball.  On defense, he'd occasionally get beat if a guy put a move on him, whereas on offense no one could match up with him.

He's a good college player, but I don't know if he's worth a 1st round pick. He's not a huge playmaker, doesn't have great measurables, and I think he'll struggle in the NFL when he can't be quite so grabby.

Damien Harris on UM with his 7.2 Ave and durability and UM wins osu by salting clock away and or having any run game. Iowa may have been a tossup still bit we would be at #2 where OSU is. That said he was the price for Harbaugh as he recommitted with Hoke departure so it was a necessary sacrifce.

Wasn't he coming here until we fired Borges (something about his high school coach being close with Al). That was two years before Harbaugh.
