Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[butchna]

Well we only have I believe 3 LB's right now with experience and they aren't world beaters and you are right about DB's also. But I read recently something about Hype not using all his scholly's for that purpose but who knows that been a while back and I could have it wrong. Was just wondering cause I think he would have about 3 left?

If we get all the one’s back who were given their releases, it should be four after Milton.

I didn't see him really air it out or did I miss it? Mostly short passes and some of those behind WR's. That one with the TE was all on the TE though.

The first TD in the Indiana game was nice deep ball, but yeah he missed on a lot of his deep throws.

You have to get the QB right. He’s gotta showcase his offense to recruits.

QB will be fine.

Grant Williams... yikes

 

[SoilVol]

Well it’s not fair to assume this staff can’t find a QB just Bc the previous didn’t but he was obviously take for a reason so I’ll give them benefit of the doubt especially since our LB coach has went against the kid in practice so i would like to think if he’s just ass then he would know.

And didn't our DC coach against him?

Joe Milton, according to the Michigan fans on reddit, has an exceptionally strong arm, but little accuracy, no touch, poor decision-making, and can’t read defenses. They say his high school rating was based on the potential he had in that arm strength but he was never able to go beyond that while he was in Ann Arbor.

Also, as best I can gather, they and 247 don’t think Joe is actually a dual threat. He’s a Pro style QB .

I watched him throw some balls to the perimeter and it looks smooth and fast. There’s no question he has a ton of arm strength, very, VERY, impressive. I mean WOW impressive. jmo.

Somebody in the thread said Brandon Peters (former UM QB) was doing good at Illinois.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire? lol

How is bailey better than Maurer? His highs are no where near the highs Maurer brought vs uga and bama as a freshman. He just did “less bad stuff”

Doing less bad stuff is a good thing in most coaches minds.

 

[mikemist]

And didn't our DC coach against him?

I think he was benched before the Penn St game

She’s our schools female version of Peyton. Superb athlete and all class. Love her.

I know this is coming through my rose colored glasses, but I detect something in that interview that I don’t think I’ve heard in a long, long time.
It sounded like there is genuine excitement and ENJOYMENT amongst the coaching staff - that they actually like and respect each other and seem to be a) on the same page, and b) having fun.

After years of filling out staffs with mercenaries who might or might not get along ... maybe we’ve finally got the right mix

Doesn‘t mean it’s wrong. Heupel is by all indications a very decent person. There are zero rumors of him getting drunk and showing up at another coach’s house to fight, or cussing out staff. A staff and team tend to take on the personality of their leader, so I would fully expect a different vibe.

My post Has nothing to do with Pruitt or Heupel specifically, just generally every time there is a coaching change people automatically think things will get better. Not true at all.

It’s pretty simple guys Joe Milton was in the wrong offense for his skill set at Michigan kind of like when Justin fields was in the wrong offense at Georgia for his skill set...the coaching staff feels like he has the tools to tap into that potential while running their offense which is more for his skill

And he has 3 years to do it

Arm strength is unbelievably good and he’s coming to an offense that takes regular deep shots. Worth a scholarship no doubt about it.

Why did you have to go and do this?

At some point they almost have to. At some point, we will actually hit rock bottom. I really hope Pruitt was it.

Good podcast to check out if you haven’t already. These come out every day M-F. My go to listen on the way to work or to the gym.

Segment three he spoke to a guy who covers Michigan and it was pretty encouraging, IMO.

Three missed TDs in that Minnesota game. Michigan has some garbage skill players.
