Messing around with Mariotti, I wouldn't put it past him. I almost bet he sent him a workout/diet to get him right Edited May 14, 2018 by MSURacerDT55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Warriors has a breakdown by Class 2014: 7 2015: 14 2016: 18 2017: 20 2018: 26 Given all the players on the roster, and ignoring the walk ons, here is my best guess on the depth chart based on everything I've heard: QB: Dwayne Haskins Tate Martell Matthew Baldwin RB: JK Dobbins Mike Weber Master Teague Brian Snead HB: Parris Cambell Demario McCall Jaelen Gill WR: Austin Mack Bin Victor CJ Saunders Jaylin Harris Elijah Gardner Blue Smith WR: KJ Hill Johnie Dixon Terry McLaurin Kamryn Babb Chris Olave Cameron Brown TE: Luke Farrell Rashod Berry Jeremy Ruckert Jake Hausmann LT: Thayer Munford Josh Alabi Nicholas Petit-Frere LG: Michael Jordan Wyatt Davis Gavin Cupp C: Brady Taylor Josh Myers Matthew Jones RG: Branden Bowen Demetrius Knox RT: Isaiah Prince Malcolm Pridgeon Max Wray LDE: Nick Bosa Tyreke Smith Jashon Cornell Tyler Friday Alex Williams UDT: Dre'Mont Jones Haskill Garrett Taron Vincent Malik Barrow Jeron Cage NDT: Robert Landers Antwuan Jackson Tommy Togiai Davon Hamilton RDE: Chase Young Jonathan Cooper Javontae Jean-Baptiste WLB: Keandre Jones Dante Booker Dallas Gant MLB: Baron Browning Justin Hilliard Teradja Mitchell Tuf Boreland (inj) SLB: Malik Harrison Pete Werner K'Vaughn Pope LCB: Jeffrey Okudah Damon Arnette Marcus Williamson Marcus Hooker FS: Jordan Fuller Amir Riep Jahsen Wint SS: Isaiah Pryor Brendon White Josh Proctor RCB: Kendall Sheffield Shaun Wade Tyreke Johnson Sevyn Banks K: Sean Nuernberger Blake Haubeil P: Drue Chrisman LS: Liam McCullough Thoughts: Given that it's an Achilles injury, i'll believe Borland is ready for the fall when I see it. I still think Josh Myers might beat out Brady Taylor, but he hasn't as of yet. Given Berry's role last year, I think we see a lot of 2 TE sets, and Ruckert is too talented a receiver to not see the field some. With all the transfers we're fairly thin on the oline, which in part explains how hard we're going after OL in the 2019 class. The talent stacked on the DLine is incredible. I actually feel pretty good about the secondary. A lot of youth with something to prove still, but a whole lot of talent too. RB is stacked. QB situation is very good. Only way Baldwin doesn't redshirt is if there is an injury. Martell should see the field a decent bit in mop up and maybe some in sub packages running the zone read. A lot of proving to do at LB, that will be the crux of the season more than likely. If 2 guys step up then the defense can be the best in the nation. I really hope we see Demario McCall and Jaelen Gill as the return guys. It makes too much sense to not happen. Looking at who will be gone after 2018, who I think will leave early, and who we have already I think we add at least 3 more OL to this class. 1 QB (Gunnell please), an athlete for H in the McCall/Gill mold, a TE, 2 DE (Zach Harrison please, one year behind Chase Young, then 2 as the starter before the draft), at least 2 pure CB's, at least 1 more LB (I'm counting Chambers as a LB), and a long snapper. That's 11 guys, which would put the class at 20, which leaves 3-5 spots to go BPA that we can get. I like Ruckert but how many times have we seen a true Freshmen TE do anything in a big conference. TE is similar in the NFL, they have a transitional period. I believe Dobbins and Weber they will want there TEs to be better blockers for this season. To me Ferrell is a stud blocker and to me that’s the reason he has a foot up to be a starter. Also had the ability if you don’t pay attention to him in the passing game he will hurt you for it.

BobbyPhil1781 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Just saw in the recruiting thread that a lot of people have Gunnel CBd to AZ. Anyone elaborate on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I rewatched the Iowa game. Holy hell that game was infuriating. Our linebackers looked completely lost all game. We would have been better off just playing 7 corner and 4 defensive linemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling people the answer: Bill Davis Go look at how we defended the RPO/PA in 2016 on back with Fickell and how we defended it in 2017 with Davis, look at the Oklahoma game 2016 and how our LBs played against pretty much the same offensive personnel, you couldn't run that against us because our LBs were extremely disciplined against it, Look at all of the big plays Baker had in the passing game in 16 as opposed to 17 how all of the sudden these same guys act like they have no idea what they are doing? its the coaching.

THE DUKE Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 We made 2020 4* Justin Rogers top 13. He's the top prospect in Michigan for 2020. Michigan did not make his top 13. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad that there is no audio for this. For those old enough to remember Muttley's laugh, it's priceless and provides added amusement to the Rogers recruitment.

Word has it that hairball twisted his ankle and couldn’t climb the specified tree for Justin. Also required a hospital visit so he couldn’t do the sleepover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Read that Doug Nester actually grew more over the last year and is now 6'6.5" and is now being projected more as a RT than an interior lineman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty ridiculous the way the OL recruiting is shaping up right now. If the QB play pans out going forward in the system, this offense should be incredible for the next several years.
