    I agree on the depth chart thing. Alabama likes to play two running backs, but a third…not so much. That would mean bad news for Najee Harris, Damien Harris, and/or Bo Scarbrough. But at Michigan, there’s a clear path to being the starter. Evans looked good, but he’s not immune to being passed by a #1 running back.

    FWIW, I’ve heard that Ty Isaac is planning to come back next year. I don’t know if the arrival of Harris could affect that or not.

    I think good running backs can make a line look good, and I think a good line can make running backs look good. The offensive line is extremely important, and I would say that unit is more important than an individual RB in general. I think Harris could make people’s opinions of Tim Drevno improve next year.

    I like Donovan Jeter. If we get Tufele or Solomon, they’ll probably play next year. I don’t think Jeter can be a NT as a freshman, though. He’s got some size and strength to add before he plays there, IMO. Personally, I would like to see Onwenu end up at NT, but it seems like he’s headed for one of the guard spots.

    I prefer Solomon to Tufele, but I agree that Filiaga is extremely important. We don’t have enough tackles on the roster. That continues to be an issue for this program.

    Well, I’m glad he played linebacker as a senior and put out some highlights. His play at RB was not especially inspiring for a LB. I don’t think he’s a 5-star like Rivals says, but he’s still a decent prospect.

    I agree completely that the 2017 defensive line will not be as good as 2016. I even think it’s a stretch to say Mone will be on Glasgow’s level, although maybe his injury slowed him down for a while. I do think Mone played a very good game against Ohio State, but that was the first time. Michigan’s going to take a step back on the DL next year. I think we’re going to take a step backward with everyone except Hurst and Gary.

    There are a couple thumpers down south from Alabama, but they never gave Michigan much of a look. I also like Anthony Hines III, but he’s going to Texas A&M.

    I agree with that *if* the rankings are accurate, but this linebacker class is going to leave me a little bit wanting, I think. I’m not sure where that thumper is in the middle to replace Gedeon/McCray.

    I agree that he’s very limited athletically, and he does have a weird stance. I do think he’s a high-effort player, but he doesn’t look like a guy who would ever see the field at Michigan. I think he’s just a practice squad type of player, personally.

    I’m guessing the coaching staff was setting up some things to throw in at a later date. Maybe they even planned to run them later in this game. It’s just a little bit more for Wisconsin and PSU and others to prepare for.
