Mailbag Question: Regarding recruiting and some of the latest commits

Hey Guys,



Kind of going off your guys stuff about recruiting, because I really like following recruiting. Do you think the last several commits are that good really? Seems like many of these kids Michigan could have gotten later in the year and go after some other people hard.



Some of these guys like (Peace, Barnes, and Jones) ... well at least they are getting some defensive positions now. I know you people have been harping on that in the past.

Thanks for the question. Of the three, in our opinion Jones has the most upside and is a very good get. Athletes his size, with his skill set are tough to find. In addition, he has the versatility to play more than one position on the defensive line.



While not quite as good a get as Jones, we also like Peace quite a bit. He again has the versatility to play multiple positions. He also shows a physical side that could help on special teams. His ability to play both split end and defensive back makes him a good get.



We are not as high on Barnes. He does have a physical side to his game and nice movement skills. However, his fundamentals and instincts are just not there at this time. We are not trying to say we are better talent judges than the Michigan coaching staff.



Just giving our opinion as to what we see on film concerning Michigan recruits and prospects.
