ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2017

Flower Mound (TX) Marcus cornerback Matt Hankins, an Iowa commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’0″, 158 lb. prospect with offers from Colorado, Houston, Missouri, and Texas Tech, among others. He committed to the Hawkeyes in June of 2016 and is a 247 Composite 3-star, the #87 cornerback, and #856 overall. He has a 4.34 shuttle and a 35″ vertical.

Cheshire (CT) Cheshire Academy cornerback Brandon Sebastian, a Boston College commit, was offered by Michigan. He’s a 6’2″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Rutgers, Syracuse, and UConn, among others. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #139 cornerback, and #1318 overall. Sebastian committed to the Eagles in April of 2016, but he’s a teammate of 2017 wide receiver Tarik Black, whom Michigan is recruiting pretty yard, and that may have been the impetus for the offer. On his Hudl page, he claims a 4.32 forty, a 3.89 shuttle, a 10.65 in the 100 meters, and a 39″ vertical. Those numbers sound great, but they also seem exaggerated.

Michigan vs. Colorado Awards

Let’s see more of this guy on offense . . . Jabrill Peppers. Michigan struggled to run the ball yet again, but Peppers had 2 carries for 24 yards in this one. He also had 204 all-purpose yards, including a 54-yard punt return touchdown. Michigan shouldn’t wear out Peppers, but if he can be a difference-maker, he should be getting 5-10 touches on offense against the best opponents. I think it’s good to get him some early touches, and then if Michigan pulls away, they can stick with their regular offensive personnel.

Michigan 45, Colorado 28

That went about how I expected. I didn’t think Colorado would jump out to a 14-0 or 21-7 lead early in the game, but I thought their tempo and creativity would be a problem for Michigan initially. Sometimes it takes Michigan a few minutes to get used to the other team’s tempo before they settle in, and that was the case against the Buffaloes. Maybe it’s because they don’t play against tempo in practice, but it takes an adjustment period. I also think some Michigan fans were underestimating Colorado based on their last few years, but they have a lot of experience, some quality receivers, and a pretty good quarterback on offense, along with a couple good corners and a couple solid front-seven players on defense. I predicted a 31-17 win for Michigan, so this was more of a high-scoring affair, but I knew it would be a fight.

Hit the jump for more.
