Robinson maybe, not Gardner. I think Gardner is a damn good QB and he'll open eyes this year.

Fair enough. People asked me if I would trade Miller for either Smith or Tebow and I said Tebow but not Smith. People on Michigan's 247 board said I was crazy that I would trade and they wouldn't tade either Denard or Gardner for either. I said they must just be homers and you and TrueBlue seem reasonable so I was JW your thoughts

Denard was a great athlete. He was not a good quarterback. He worked for RRod, but RRod didn't work for Michigan. Kind of a weird situation I guess.

I'd trade either for Tebow, neither for Smith, and nothing I own or ever could own for Miller.

Denard was good at being a run first QB. Rarely could he make the throws needed to win big games.

I would trade Miller/Denard/Smith/Gardner for Tebow/VY in a heart beat.

Michigan could land another big recruit in the 2015 class in Jacques Patrick. Still early but it might happen.

Can a mod change the thread title to just drop the 2014. We'll just make one recruiting thread. That will make TrueBlue happy.

Nope. Rivals rankings aren't out yet, but they are projecting him as a 5*. Since Rivals is who I use, that's the ranking I listed.

They'll both be 5*.

Amazing really. And we aren't finished with 2014, looking at you Da'Shawn Hand.

That's always the response when a rival school lands a big recruit. Guys OSU guys would never go somewhere else, eh?

We don't have a "No Visit Policy"

And I am actually happy Michigan is getting big time recruits. It helps so much with the Rivalry. Yes while I love beating you guys year in and year out...I also like The Game meaning something.
