Yeah it's definitely cool to finally see that. As it stands now, he'll definitely be starting at QB since I have 2 FR(R) 79 overall behind a Senior Barkley and am solid at WR for the moment. I'll just have to remember that he can also play WR in the future if I need to move him.Originally Posted by texacotea
Would be a cool feature to have when you are doing position changes if it noted the other positions OVR that he can play.
Be nice if you could move him mid-season as well without hurting things or it saying QB such and such is on the two deep at WR.
That 87 route-running with Bratton is VERY nice at that size for WR
While it would be "quicker", it's not that hard to just scroll through other positions and see what the OVR would change to.

True, but I'm not going to sit there and do that for all 85 guys on my roster.
Yeah, but you can look at your players' ratings and determine if/where they might fit. Then for the guys that could fit into multiple positions, you just check those. Obviously with the new ATHs it will be more, but we're not talking about your entire roster.
*sigh* Yes, yes you can. All I'm saying is that would be a cool feature to have. Will I remember in 3 years that Bratton was a potential Wide Receiver, more than likely. I'm just saying it would be cool to have this displayed where his best fit at another position would be. The offseason and player changes takes a long time as it is, just trying to make it a little more streamlined.
This is why I have a notebook where I write down all my possible Offseason moves

Player Offers Pos. Description
QB What can I say... top of Jones' priority list is he wanted to play for a winner and the moment Denard Robinson finished the game in the victory formation, Jones was making his commitment to the Wolverines. Not only did Jones get to see what kind of offense he'll be running next year but as well he specifically said "I don't want to go to Ohio State... they called four straight passes to end the game and lost. I want the ball in my hands at the end... I want a chance to run". Jones has all of the athleticism of Robinson shorting just a bit on speed. That said, he'll be a great QB the next four years in coach RexRod's Split Gun offense.
He chose Michigan over offers from Ohio State and Notre Dame.WR Austin was a backup plan to supplement Jones should he have chosen to go elsewhere. However, with Jones signing and QB Devin Gardner returning, Austin will slide over to WR where he will be much needed as well. While he doesn't have the burner speed that the Wolverines are in need of, he does have superb hands that will only develop more over the the next three years.
Michigan was the only school to offer Austin.
C Garrison is a bulldozer. He's a great signing for the run-first offense of Michigan and will likely remain at Center or possibly move over to Guard. Either way, he'll be clearing a path for the Wolverines for years to come.
He chose Michigan over offers from Florida State and Cal.

Big recruiting weekend as USC pulls in 3 commits while they were in L.A.
Kyle is a hard hitting FS that should fit right into the style of defense that the Trojans like to run. The thing that really stuck out with Kyle was his ability to wrap up and make a sure tackle. Expect to see him up on the line a lot when playing the Wolverines.
USC also adds another strong defensive lineman to help strengthen our depth at that position. Depending on how early season camp goes Harold may redshirt or may get to see some playing time right away.
Plain and simple Anthony is a load. At only 5'11" he carries his 292 lbs extremely well and uses his low center of gravity to destroy people. Depending on how things shake out he could be potentially looked to move to center with his height.
Texas lands four recruits over the weekend:
A man among boys, King is one of the better downhill fillers and contact tacklers you will see at this stage. Intimidating toughness and physicality. Possesses an excellent blend of size, strength and power. Ready physically to make the jump to the college level and produce between the tackles. Has great short-range burst but also the speed to chase plays down sideline-to-sideline. Demonstrates very good instincts; gets an excellent downhill jump on running plays. Beats blockers to the point of attack with quickness but will also utilize his arm length and strength to shed and keep them off his body while scraping. Possesses dominate physical playing strength to take on and defeat at the point of attack. Holds is ground. Takes proper angles, maintains outside leverage then explodes onto ball carriers like a heat seeking missile. Runs through ball carriers with a powerful base and knock'em back style. Limits second efforts and does not give up leaky yardage. Moves through traffic well for his size and makes plays inside-out while keeping his legs free of trash. Effective sifting through traffic laterally on off-tackle pursuit, can shed and not lose a step; takes very good angles to the football from backside. Deceptively athletic outside the tackles. Changes direction and pursues without a lot of wasted movement for a 230-pound linebacker. While an explosive downhill filler he can turn and effectively chase plays down and produce outside the hashes. Causes disruption as a blitzer with his jump off the snap and closing burst. Not the most fluid in space but demonstrates the athleticism and recovery burst to hold up in coverage; can turn and run. Will need to sharpen his route awareness but we see the ability to be effective in both zone and man coverage on RB's. Excellent special team's potential and with added coverage skills should be able to stay on the field in long yardage situations. Overall, King has the physical, athletic and instinctive tools to rank as one of the top defensive prospects in the country and quickly become an integral part of defensive game plans in the fall of 2013.
Smith is a D-Line prospect who shows some potential as a 3-4 end, but if he plays in a 4-3 he will be an interior player. He has very good size now and should be able to add a little more needed bulk. He does not display elite, quick penetrating first-step quickness, but can get off the ball well. He flashes the ability as a run defender to be able to keep his pads down and bring his hands and extend and create separation and when he does that he is capable of being very stout with the ability to shed and play the ball. He does need to watch his pad level at times and can seem to play a little loose with his technique as he has the size and ability to get away with it versus a good deal of his present of competition, but he will need to play with more consistently technique wise at the next level. He displays solid short-area change-of-direction skills. He can overrun the play at times and be a bit of arm tackler, but displays strong hands to be able to finish when he gets cloth. As a pass rusher he demonstrates the ability to work some moves and be violent with his hands as well as attack half-a-man and with some further polish could be a productive interior rusher. Smith has some good physical ability. Things seem to come a little easy to him now and he will need to work to sure up areas of his game, but if he can do that he has the tools to be a good productive college D-Lineman.
Cole is a very good offensive tackle with still plenty of upside. He is a long and somewhat lean prospect at this stage. He possesses excellent height and arm length for the tackle position. He does need to continue to develop his frame and add more good mass and improve strength, but he looks to have a frame that can easily support additional growth. His strength at this stage is as a pass blocker and he demonstrates the tools to be able to be a shut-down pass protector at left tackle. He possesses a fine combination of feet and arm length and with good quick hands he can deliver a good punch and stay busy with and reroute his hands. Displays the ability to play with good bend and slide his feet though he could still improve his pad level at times. He can kick back well to the deep set point and maintain balance and weight on his post foot and react to change in direction and he rarely gets caught out of position. He is a strong pass protector and while he needs more work he can also be a productive run blocker as well. He gets good hand placement and will drive his feet on contact and with his size can drive defenders off the ball at his current level, but he is not a consistently dominating run blocker. He flashes explosion on contact but needs to play with better leverage in order to more consistently get under defenders pads and use his natural pop. He looks to play exclusively from a 'two' point stance which seems to limit his ability to fire off with good pad leverage in the run game. He can push opponents around but needs to work to get lower and roll his hips on contact and maximize his power. He does have good feet and displays a good understanding of angles. He shows good pull and trap ability and does a good job of blocking in space though he can seem to lumber some in the open field. He gives good effort and looks to take care of business and finish blocks. Cole is prospect with the raw physical ability teams will look for in a tackle. He still has work to do as both a blocker and physically as he looks to still be growing into his size, but he shows very nice promise and his best football certainly seems ahead of him.
Sullivan is one of the best inline blockers we've seen; displays the explosion and dominant playing strength to knock defenders off the line of scrimmage. Although we see a very productive blocker at the tackle spot we feel his size and athleticism are better suited for the offensive guard position at the major level of competition; his experience at tackle definitely offers depth along the offensive line. We see a player with good flexibility, balance and agility; playing out of a three point stance this prospect comes off the ball low and hard with good initial fit and pad level. Can handle immediate quickness when drive blocking, showing the ability to protect his inside gap. This guy is a tough customer capable of giving defensive linemen a ride downfield. Rolls his hips, getting underneath opponents pads; sustains very well due to his excellent blocking base and leg drive. We see a punishing finisher who doesn't quit until his opponent is on the turf. Has the initial quickness and agility to reach and gain leverage on shaded linemen while demonstrating the ability to chip up on linebackers. This athlete has the ability to consistently get a hat on active 1st and 2nd level defenders along with the playing strength to make all the necessary run blocks at the next level of play. His experience on the edge at tackle will be a positive in pass protection; the nimble feet and quick hands we see should be assets in pass pro; sets quickly with the bend and athleticism necessary to help out of the center/guard box. Although we like his upper body playing strength and initial punch all areas on hand use will need refinement. Sullivan's dominant run blocking ability could earn him early situational playing time at the BCS level of competition.
Harold Colvin should've been suiting up in Austin - I feel a Reggie Bush-esque pay for play scheme going on.
Bama adds 1 more recruit before their massive recruiting week in Week 6.
Allen was coveted by Coach Davis and his staff because they feel they found a diamond in the rough. He has almost the same skill set as the #1 overall OLB, Clinton King, only he is rated as arather than a
. It required much less effort to land Allen, which mad King less of a priority. It will depend on spring whether or not he will redshirt, stay outside, or move to the middle next season. He is just one piece in what should be a stellar defensive class for the Tide.
I almost went after Allen early on as well, but with King being an in-state recruit I let it all hang on him.
Yeah, I went the opposite direction. I was hoping to sneak in and snag King and Allen but I have 2 other 80 overall LB's I am going to sign.
That 95 acceleration is nice
Yeah, I fell in love with him after I scouted him!
adds 2 more....
Other Offers: Texas, Georgia, Boise State, and Iowa
Other Offers: Georgia, Nebraska, Texas, and Missouri
Jones hurt, especially after losing the other CB I was after earlier in the year. Bradshaw was a last minute throw in to block you from him.
