I honestly think there wasn’t any scouting going on at the end. We were just starting hunting. Those later classes were some of our best classes from a star ranking standpoint but they were filled with more busts and missing the gritty under the radar guys.


I think the classes most impacted by COVID restrictions (2021 and 2022) really, really fricked with the culture of the program because the coaches didn't have the ability to get to know the kids as well. Once too many cancerous personalities, soft players, and headcases got in the locker room it snowballed a bit because they had more influence than they ever did in the past.
That's definitely what happened. About 140 of their rushing yards came on the first play of the game and when they were down by 4 scores.

Based on the game tape each week, it seems like DE hunting is a point of emphasis. Either that or our TEs and guards are just sadistic.


I think it's a little of column A and a little of column B. They're being coached to do it, but their enthusiasm for the job is completely natural.

What happened to them


Fat/lazy and playing the wrong position, respectively.
Fun fact: Kedrick Bingley-Jones, who got the negative reaction from the fans when we brought him in to replace these elite former 5* recruits, has been as productive as all these guys combined.

I'm sure Kirby has spent the last weeks trying to figure out Keelon's weakness the same way he keyed in on Milroe and Ty


Does he have one that's going to stand out on such a small sample? I mean obviously there's something because every player has something they're not great at, but from a physical standpoint there's just not a good answer. He can make every throw in the playbook and some that aren't (back shoulder fade on a frozen rope 30 yards down the seam) and runs like a fricking deer. He also doesn't seem to mind getting hit or having pressure around him. Gonna have to find tendencies or tells, and he only has 5 games of tape to find them in.

Yeah the Super Bowl halftime performance is free. You pay to see the football game. You're basically upset about not liking the previews before the movie you paid to see, and projecting that opinion onto everyone else in the theater.

It would probably be extremely well received considering her track record of selling out venues in non-English speaking countries.
Experience and physical maturation. His arm, pocket presence, and mobility are what they are. The kid is a really special talent no matter how you look at it. Some of the throws he can make are what you see from guys like Mahomes, Stafford, and prime A-A-ron. He just has to keep leveling up as a field general, and the only way to do that is seeing more of what DCs throw at him.
Nevermind Crowell. Unheralded 3* recruit and Boise flip Traeshawn Brown is better than any RB we had on the roster for 2023-2025.

DeBoer inhereted some defensive talent, but it was rough on offense.
And you also run the risk, no matter how small you think it may be, of Beamer pulling off the upset to stay his execution. If you decide to fire a guy you can't wait for a bye week to do it. Just make the call.

I commend Michigan. They have answered a question no one else had the courage to ask. What happens when you give $15 million to a 17 year old who doesn't know how to play QB and immediately name him your starter?
It's very reassuring that a moron like Yurachek is chair of the playoff committee.

Let's go for it inside our own 25 down 3 with 7 minutes to go. Awful decision. UTk is a mess on offense.
Bryce Underwood was considered a better prospect than Keelon in their class. Not by much, but still. :lol:

He's only provided a small sample size but it seems everytime #14 gets in he makes a play or at least disrupts


Yep. He's disruptive. Doesn't finish well yet, but he's getting assists.
Just make it permanent. He only shows up to troll game threads.
Gotta go score again or it'll be a game again soon.

17 is fricking different.


Warrick Dunn. Short, strong, elite balance, plenty of speed, dog.

The offense is bipolar with sprinkles of brilliance


Having a QB who has "it" means few situations are bad enough that he cannot magically unfrick it.
