Donnell Lawrence hurt a little, I've loaded up on O-line so its not that bad but he looks to be good.
With having the luxury of not losing a ton of seniors....that was my goal this year....load up on the o-line....hopefully my playing style will translate into a young stud RB in next year's class. If everybody in my backfield returns....I'll have 2 seniors and a redshirt junior probably 90+ overall carrying the rock for the Tigers.

Michael the staff feels was a steal in this class. He clearly has the talent to be a stud for the Ducks and he is certainly ready to make an impact.
Filthy, Snoop....this seems to be the year of the OLB

WRThompson was recruited as one of several possibilities to play the Strong Safety position in coach RexRod's 3-3-5 defense. He'll either find himself as the cover Safety or depending on other signings might slide over to Cornerback. Since Thompson has the ability to play WR, he might find himself included in some offensive packages as well. Regardless though, with his shifty running ability, Thompson will almost certainly be the primary returnman on special teams in his first season.

Completely nonsensical that Return isn't a scoutable attribute for ATH.

You look at and use the return rating? I just pick the fastest non-starter as my returner.
I look at more than just speed, but yes, I ignore the RET rating completely.
carrying is a biggie for me but speed and acc typically are the only 3. If it's close then juke, spin and trucking get looked at after those 3.
Yeah I was pretty happy with Mike Jones,very happy to have him on board
While we're on the subject of returning, I'd like to know who at Tiburon I need to give oral relations too so that my team can get down the field on punts as the cpu. Someone is in my face on every punt return and even if it's a 3-on-1 situation with me having the advantage, that one is just going to run right past all 3 guys and force me to fair catch.
Michigan signs another during the week... anyone who might have scouted this guy, I'd love to have you fill in the blanks. And for anyone that didn't, can you confirm what his THP originally was? I want to say it was a D but might have been a C.

QBWeaver was an odd signing for the Wolverines as they barely got to know him before he jumped at the chance to join the team. Unfortunately for Michigan, he will arrive on campus with lots of promise but no guarantees of what he brings. Seeing as his throwing strength was a major surprise while watching film, it stands to reason that there could be other surprises, good and bad, when all is said and done. Depending on his other abilities, he might challenge for starting time at Quarterback or may just be the speedy WR that the Wolverines are in need of. Time will tell.
"Call up Dike Jones and tell him he just got wrecked!"
Bama adds 3 more recruits this week despite the disappointing week.
Shaw is an interesting prospect as coaches will have some work to figure out what position he will play. He has good pass rushing skills for a MLB, so he could end up as a OLB/DE hybrid in the future. The coaches love his 92 tackle rating as a Fresh, and he could be a tackling machine in a few years if he stays at MLB.
Shaffer is an interesting prospect as coaches really have no idea what they are getting with this young man. He was at the bottom of their list, but really wanted to play for the Tide and coaches felt it was worth the risk.
Normally coach Davis does not look for JUCO players, but DE is a position of definite need next season as McCoy could start his first season. Coaches have a younger guy that could potentially sign any week for the future, but the Tide need someone who could possibly step up and start next season.
It's like my fourth or fifth rating I look at, for a returner. Definitely not my primary differentiator. I've seen a few things happen that I attributed to the RET rating, though it could have been a different factor as well. Especially for punt return. For KR, I don't mind so much, but for my PR, I just feel safer not calling a fair catch if he has a decent RET rating.

I just noticed he was in my "hmmmm....looks interesting" part of my board....just haven't got around to scouting him. His throwing power was a C....nice jump to 86.
Gracias... yeah, if he has decent accuracy, then I'll have a quandary on my hands with whether to put him at WR or QB.
Don't give him any info! He can still scout,
