Hey,
What do you guys make of the recent recruiting of Holmes Onwukaife? Do you "buy into" the theories being given that there are no more spots left at DE or do you think they are waiting on "bigger fish" or somebody else and wanted to stall him?
Where do you think Onwukaife would have played at Michigan.
Could something like this hurt the Michigan program by cutting kids loose? Also if there was no more spots shouldn't the coaches pull the offers and let kids know or is that something they do not do just in case if they have to go back to those kids if a recruit backs out?

Thanks for the question.
In our opinion this does not hurt Michigan at all because a lot of programs have to do the same thing because it is becoming a common place in college football recruiting with how early football recruiting is becoming along with how many offers are going out to kids to compete with other programs.
Had Michigan offered, and later pulled Onwukaife offer that would be different situation. Just because a player wants to commit, does not mean a program is obligated to accept him at any time.
Many times offers are sent out to keep up with other schools and sometimes there are stipulations tied in with the offer such as giving a recruit only a certain amount of time to decide, timing on the decision, other kids committing, running out if scholarships, etc.
For why no offer, in our opinion Onwukaife did not have a natural position in Michigan's new defensive scheme. He is not big enough to play on the line, and not athletic enough to play in space, or at quick / spinner.
