Steve wants to be like J.J. McCarthy when I grow up. TJ Guy could be a 10-year pro at OL, McBurrows underrated because he may be too small to play in the pros. Finishing:s still look good for Rayshaun Benny, who was Michigan head-to-toe until they lost to MSU. Rooks probably isn t an option. They have a 6 8 /235 potential edge guy from Brother Rice who may get some real offers. Ceyair Wright stars as LeBron s son; we re hoping he s more interested in Michigan Business School than USC Film School.

JJ McCarthy deserves a lot of credit for building this class. Donovan Edwards was their #1 target THIS TIME WE RE THROWING TO THE BACK! Tavierre Dunlap is a thunderous complement. Gattis seems likely to stick around and so are his receiver recruits. Xavier Worthy looks like ol Chicken Legs himself. Other two guys can go get it…we think.
2. Offensive Line

Hansen is a tight end from Massachusetts but the sites are now wise to our factory. Willie Allen could figure to start next year if they lose Mayfield to the NFL, gives Seth a Grant Newsome vibe personality-wise. El-Hadi is a guy it shouldn t be so hard to get excited about Mayfield is the comp. Also got themselves a 6 8 tackle from New England to hang some meat on. Two centers allow us to wax poetic about centers.

Hunter Dickinson is a legit star. So nice to be able to run the offense out of the post when they re shutting down your perimeter. Johns as backup C went worse than it looks because they made threes, but wasn t bad. Box-outs were a problem for everybody. Turnovers were a problem. Respect shown to various PSU defenders.

Seems like the program is starting to come apart with rumors of hellacious transfers and a signing day happening before the coaching decision is really made. Ace points out if Warde screws it up or if Warde does a good job these things could look exactly the same at the moment.
