Michigan DL Coach Headed to NFL

It feels like Texas is way behind many in the SEC re: the DL room.

 

I don’t know about way behind, but Texas needs to pickup IDL and LB recruiting if they expect to become a consistent upper echelon team in the SEC. As currently structured, Texas is the Lane Kiffin version of Ole Miss, good but not elite.

CJ are there any ties between Graham and Baker or Grant and Baker? Just wondering how good our odds would be if either decided to jump ship?  Or do you believe that Sherrone Moore keeps those guys in Ann Arbor?

yes

I can't agree with this. DL is the one position on defense where three star prospects seem to develop. Brown is in and we have our sights set on Orogbo, Williams and Guidry.

Any advantage for the players to enter the portal now when they can’t go anywhere other than early negotiations?

None that I can think of.

That’s fine, we all won’t agree. I don’t see that we’ve stockpiled anything though. We’re having to be “in” on guys rather than re-loading like we’re doing on OL and WR.

Broughton and Collins are the starters. Savea will surely be in the rotation. Bledsoe, Bryant and Mitchell should help hold the line. There will be more coming in 2025.

Everything we have at Buck/Jack/Mike/Will/Sam, in whatever combination they choose to play them will bolster the DL.

The problem is imo, is we have seen very little from the four guys of Bledsoe, Bryant and Mitchell. We rotate 6 IDL so half of the rotation is unknown imo. Last year we had maybe 2 unknown. Now after this year we could lose 2-3 guys and Swanson may transfer because not sure he will ever see the field much. At best we'd be down to 7 guys that that had been on campus and two would be redshirt freshman so one would have to play unless we get some difference maker transfers which are hard to come by. This room is one of the last rooms that has to be rebuilt imo. Every other save TE and maybe safety, has been rebuilt with talent that we can reload at. We've taken 3 IDL the last two years in recruiting, that's not good moving to the SEC imo.
