Cam Gordon has look good in spring ball, could be a good SAM LB.

Mix him in with guys like Furman and Marvin Robinson... the talent is there. Furman can fly.

Ringer goes to my former HS, glad to see Javon didn't talk him into MSU. I've seen him play 4 or 5 times and he's a beast, best player at Northmont since Kurt Coleman. I'll be sure to report what I see when I watch him play this fall.

I don't believe MSU even offered Ringer.

talked with Joe Palka (Wormley's HS coach) a couple of weeks ago, and he said Chris is definitely not a lock at michigan--he's leaning that way, but nothing's set in stone

fwiw, I think Hoke's going to kick ass on the recruiting trail--JT needs to reinforce that fence around Ohio :cool:

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of Devin Gardner this fall, and possibly even the starter as some point. Reports from camp have Devin with a really great spring, and Denard struggling in the pocket. Now it is early, but spring can be very telling sometimes.

One trusted observer even said he thinks Devin could be a first round NFL QB, that's how good he is. Another said he had the pocket presence and footwork that Chad Henne had his senior year. And this kid is only a sophomore.

Hopkins and Cox seem to be head and shoulders about the rest right now. The defense is playing hungry. Man I can't wait until September!

The thing with Ohio is there is a lot of talent in the state and OSU cannot take them all. It is mostly a numbers game and Michigan is going to get some good talent out of Ohio no matter what. There are always 3 and 4 star players who have to go elsewhere in Ohio and a lot have gone up north in the past and always will. Same goes for the state of Michigan.

Helps Prowess? The 7th most relevant football program in the Big Ten?

Wow, that is an intelligent post. So teams never get better than where they finished the year before? Good thing the Buckeyes didn't listen to you in 2001. Or 2004.

Sounds like Zeke Pike might be a Wolverine sooner rather than later.. he sounds like a pretty intelligent kid to me.

I'm stoked for this season. Personally, I'd love to see Gardner at QB and Denard at RB... if he put some muscle on.

Denard is going to be in 1 of the places this year with only 2 of them being actual possibilities.

1. QB
2. Slot
3. Bench

I could see them maybe doing some packages with both of them BUT if a much more "liberal" offense didn't do it, I couldn't see a more pro style doing it either.

Speaking of Devin, was he granted a medical redshirt or is he a true sophomore. Obviously it'd bode better for the immediate future of the program if he were a RS Freshman.

This is according to Rivals.. apparently they changed the whole injury redshirt deal.. a player can play out his eligibility like normal, then apply for the RS after his senior year.. retarded if you ask me.

Devin won't know about his redshirt until his senior year, which seems really dumb. I don't think Denard will play anything other than QB or bench. They can't afford to have their only real backup QB get hurt, so it wouldn't be worth the risk.

Yes that is really dumb. As much as I like Denard, I want to see what Devin can do, and I want to see it soon ( as do a lot of others). It just stinks that our starter is pretty decent and a junior, while the "future" of the program is just as good and a sophomore. It's possible to lose both of them at the same time (Next season) with one graduating and one leaving early. I really can't see Devin leaving early, but it's a possibility that will hurt.

But it's much better than having Steven Threet, Nick Sheridan and David Cone.

I think you guys are nuts for not wanting Denard to be your QB. Obviously he would be good in the slot, but you have enough of those guys I would think.
