Hi guys,
Last year there was a lot of talk Avery Horn. He was going to be something special by all accounts. I thought with the new regime he was going to be a perfect fit. All the moves, great speed, great hands. What happened?

Well again, this is not a University of Michigan coach or BCS coach opinion so take it for what it is worth because we have our own haters here so this is “In OUR opinion” all the Avery Horn hype was more wishful thinking than anything else.
When we attended spring practice and scrimmages, it was obvious to “us” that Horn would not be much help and yes, we heard a lot of dissension about it as well.
Horn was more about straight-line speed, and did not show the ability to cut and read blocks necessary to succeed in the new scheme.
Other factor was that Horn showed well in spring game. What was missed was Horn was playing against Michigan’s second group. Our opinion again Michigan’s lack of depth on defense, made it much easier for Horn to shine.
To us, Horn was much better fit in Michigan’s old offense, and would of helped in that type of scheme.
Here are some links that we did before the spring, during the spring, etc. on Avery Horn:
