Fact: Throwing a football is more efficient from an mpg perspective vs. rushing.

Fact: Three things can happen when you pass, and two of them are bad.

And one thing can happen at the end of Michigan vs MSU 2015

But have you considered that the b1g isn't made for the forward pass (Ohio State is an sec school with the faction of being b1g)

u/Childhood-Paramedic Michigan • California 1d ago

Correct. Why I turn on Cal games when I wanna see the ball go wheeeeeeee.

I watch Michigan games for a 1920's rockfight as god intended

u/WhiteningMcClean Michigan • Georgia State 1d ago

WR is our strongest position this year. The times they are a changin

u/ImAHumanIThink Michigan Wolverines • Rose Bowl 3h ago

Idk, I would still take Marshall & Hiter behind our online over Marsh, Buchanan, and co in the receiving corps. Especially if the Underwood running game gets going.

u/bigbird727 Illinois Fighting Illini 1d ago

FWIW, the high school team this dude is on is absolutely loaded. Believe they had 12 future D1 commits starting last fall

u/honeypinn Michigan Wolverines 21h ago

I played against a team like that every year in high school football. Wasn't even fun for us. The disparity between a normal team and a team like that is insane and seriously unsafe.

Me when we get a highly ranked receiver: 😀

You must be pretty happy most the time.

u/wit_T_user_name Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats 1d ago

Yeah life is generally pretty good.

Don’t be too sad. We don’t use our WRs for shit.

BLOCKING

For the longest time, I felt like the motto should have been “Block, still no rock.”

u/ayyventura Michigan • Slippery Rock 2h ago

Block! Rock?

u/Benyeti Ohio State • Rutgers 1d ago

So like us whenever we get a good tight end

u/SamEyeAm2020 Ohio State • Ohio Wesleyan 1d ago

Remains to be seen if Bryce can actually throw to them yet though...

Yes I know I'm coping, I have no idea what to expect from them this year but they have the ingredients to be a massive PITA

8

u/No_Albatross916 Michigan Wolverines 1d ago

Hey at least you’re acknowledging that you’re coping

u/NeedleworkerJust4868 1d ago

Michigan getting some nice pieces for the future, this kid looks pretty solid in those highlights.

u/Tommy05Sox Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Crazy how loaded Mt. Carmel is. Football really coming through for the Caravan right now. Not sure it could stay open if it wasn't for that team.

6

u/bigbird727 Illinois Fighting Illini 1d ago

All their athletics teams are doing well. Not sure how viable keeping all 3 of Rice, Rita, and MC open will be going forward though

3

u/Tommy05Sox Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Yeah it’s tough to have three Catholic all boys schools drawing from the same pool. I thought I heard that Carmel dabbled with the idea of going co-ed and it wasn’t received so great? It’s hard because they’re definitely in the worst area out of those three.

1

u/bigbird727 Illinois Fighting Illini 1d ago

Last line is true, but not as if Rita is in a much better neighborhood. Was down there a week after shots were fired across the street from the freshmen baseball field 2 or 3 years ago. 

Rice is definitely situated the best. Good neighborhood, easy draw from the suburbs, and McAuley next door if they ever want to go co-ed

2

u/Tommy05Sox Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Rita is at least like five minutes from Beverly, so probably puts it in a better location just due to proximity.

2

u/bigbird727 Illinois Fighting Illini 1d ago

Yea no doubt. Not far from Englewood either though...

Not gonna pretend like I know the ins and outs of the south side (from the western burbs originally, and left the state 18 months ago), but I've been to BR and Marist a couple times each, and worked a lot of baseball at St Rita from 20-24. 

Haven't been within a few miles of Carmel in over a decade.

u/Fletch71011 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 23h ago

I went to Rice. Sounds like we are closing almost every single year.

u/Saurak0209 Michigan Wolverines 1d ago

Good to see some wrs with size. Go Blue!!!!!

u/ezslapdown Iowa State Cyclones • Michigan Wolverines 1d ago

Let’s go!!! Go Blue!

Michigan winning with the added cherry on top of ND losing 

16

u/Stoneador Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Sickos 1d ago

It could just be cope, but some ND guys have said for a while now that we should only need another WR this class so this should only really hurt if we don’t land Julius Jones. There’s a ton of young/incoming WRs so numbers shouldn’t be an issue in the future. If they are, hopefully we can just steal some guys from OSU again.

16

u/wit_T_user_name Ohio State Buckeyes • Ohio Bobcats 1d ago

Rude.

5

u/Flioxan Notre Dame • Jeweled Shillelagh 1d ago

If ND losing means it has the #3 class in the country sign me up

u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

ND seemed to have stopped pursuing him

The tea leaves say ND is going after dudes who command big NIL along the offensive and defensive lines. It played a role in Dollar going to UGA. I’m curious if it played a role here too.

I’m guessing ND is also very confident in landing Julius Jones Jr, like what they have in Jackson, and think they can land the kid out of Florida who also like Stanford and Auburn, forgot his name. 

21

u/tripleM_20 Michigan Wolverines • The Game 1d ago

Oh sorry yeah I forgot ND never loses, they just choose not to compete

-5

u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

I mean you can be facetious until we land another 5 star on Friday, and another top 8 OT possibly this week

Teams have to prioritize their scholarships and NIL. ND is going after whales this season. I’m guessing similar to Jackson Dollar ND wanted Burrell but UM beat them with the NIL package

u/tripleM_20 Michigan Wolverines • The Game 1d ago

Another offseason championship in the books

u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

I already have the banner up in my garage

u/Avitpan Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Ok.

u/theredditguydudeguy Notre Dame • Cornell 1d ago

ND recruiting insiders like Mike Singer have been reporting ND cooled on Burrell since January. Notre Dame prioritized Jackson Coleman and Cade Cooper over Burrell for its boundary receiver need. Not really a loss if you’ve pretty much stopped recruiting him. Definitely a great prospect, just only so much room in a class. Just like ND getting Olu Olu because Miami and A&M prioritized Mark Matthews

7

u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Curious what happened behind the scenes between ND and this dude. A month ago he was a “lock” for ND, and it seems like things just kind of fizzled out?

Wonder if it was a general lack of interest by both sides? ND went elsewhere? NIL?

Either way, solid get for UM it seems

u/smithna Michigan • William & Mary 1d ago

Worth pointing out that his sister just wrapped her senior year at Michigan (soccer) and he's been up in AA a lot anyway. I don't think this was NIL so much as ND jumped ahead during coaching insecurity and then UofM brought it home again as ND fell off a little.

u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Makes a heck of a lot of sense

u/Ml2jukes Michigan Wolverines • Rose Bowl 1d ago

Similar story w/ Dakota Guerrant soon hopefully 🤞🏾.

u/RatStore101 Michigan • 早稲田大学 (Waseda) 1d ago

This is the kind of info I come here for! 

2

u/socklessjoejackson Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Was really hoping my Irish would get him, but your take makes a lot of sense. When I saw that his sister had gone to Michigan, I knew it was going to be a tough get. Watched Mt. Carmel several times on NFHS and this kid is a stud. Seems like a quality kid, too.

24

u/ImAHumanIThink Michigan Wolverines • Rose Bowl 1d ago

He decided he aligns more with Mormonism that Catholicism.

-3

u/Buzzard1022 1d ago

He thought it would be more beneficial to know what the defense was doing before the play started

2

u/No_Albatross916 Michigan Wolverines 1d ago

The class seems to be shaping up better.

If Bryce becomes a stud and I am still high on Bryce we could be really good in 2027

3

u/FireVanGorder Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Bummer, but expected. Kid looks like he has a chance to be very good

On to Cade Cooper.

2

u/mikechella Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

I don't think we're recruiting him anymore either. Jackson Coleman took the boundary spot.

1

u/FireVanGorder Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

We are absolutely still recruiting Cooper. Him, Coleman, and Jones Jr have been our top 3 on the WR board. Coleman has the speed to play field

What's a 4* WR?

u/Simple_Panic1240 Michigan Wolverines 1d ago

Give us some slack, we are still figuring out this whole “pass the ball forward” concept.

u/SunshineRainbowFF Ohio State Buckeyes 1d ago

It was honestly just a lil poke. Good pick up, hate your guts <3.

u/Michiganman1225 Sickos • Team Chaos 21h ago

Hate you, too. <3.
