Uh, that's in the nation not just Michigan smh.

It's about as hard to get excited about our recruiting as it is to get excited about the direction of the football program in general.

The kid is 5'9" and is a cornerback? He must have the hops of Earl Manigault.

 

[Churlish79]

A Phil Parker recruit..

...You'd have hoped it would have been Akeel Lynch or even the WR Tevaun Smith.. also visiting this weekend.

Anyone else visiting this weekend with those 3?

Umm a LOT of cornerbacks are short.

Right, it's not like we didn't just get a 4-star d-lineman last week...oh wait.

Even Alabama brings in 2- and 3-star guys.

But they are usually fast too....... a 4.57 40 time isn't exactly fast...

Short, mid-level speed and weighs 165 pounds. Sounds more like a kicker than a corner.

Well, you aren't exactly smart but you seem to stick around. I'm sure the kid will be fine.

Yeah it really sucked when the 4 star DL committed earlier this week.

We've recruited DBs pretty well lately and very few were highly sought after players. CB is a hard position to recruit because high school football doesn't require great pass-coverage guys. A good high school athlete can adequately CB play with little technique at that level. We also recruit "scheme" CBs . . . meaning we recruit a slightly different type of CB than other teams. I bet Buford can tackle, is a heady player, and has good, not elite change of direction and hip swivel. That fits the type of CBs we recruit.

Alabama doesn't have any 2* guys committed in this upcoming class and they've had only one 2* guy on their roster for the past 6 years (maybe longer).

 

[big10fan]

of all the positions to question on recruiting, i think DB should be the last. that, or O-line.

Also the honey badger is 5-9. The best corner in college football.

Regardless, they've had their fair share of 3-star guys. And we aren't exactly Alabama (nor will we ever be).
