The Blue Board

Just wondering - is this class of 2013 or only true freshmen? Because we've got a JUCO QB who is expected to come in and win the job (not a given, but expected). So he's not a true frosh, but is class of 2013.

Assuming it doesn't need to be true freshmen:

Offense: QB Tyler Ferguson. See above. Will fight Steven Bench for starting QB spot.

Defense: DB Jordan Smith. Early enrollee who will probably play safety, where we have about 2-3 scholarship players.

Surprise: APB Richy Anderson. Legacy and an early enrollee. We've got weapons on offense, but I think he could play well enough to see some time.

Our class has a lot of guys who will probably redshirt. Adam Breneman has a good shot at contributing given his talent, but his ACL injury and our depth chart at TE may mean he redshirts.

Offense: Deveon Smith, underrated RB who is going to be a workhorse power back at Michigan. Might not have the top end speed, but has everything else you want in a pro style RB

Defense: Taco Charlton, guy had a monster senior season and is an athletic specimen. He's up to 260 and could be an explosive edge rusher for Michigan right off the bat especially because he is an EE

Surprise: Channing Stribling, is a way under the radar kid from Butler HS in NC. Kid camped at Michigan to get an offer while he was unrated by most recruiting sites. He has proceeded to be a stud in his Sr. year for the state power and looks like he could be the long, athletic corner than Mattison covets.

Offense - OJ Howard

Defense - ArDarius Stewart

Underrated - I guess the lowest rated kid who has the most potential to make an impact would be Jonathon Cook. We always need DBs and the fact that we often play up to 6 at a time in some cases gives a lot of opportunities to get into the game (see the A.Stewart pick for Defense).

Offense - Derrick Henry and OJ Howard. Both will get considerable playing time their freshman year.

Defense - Maybe one of the CBs. Maurice Smith or Jonathan Cook could get some playing time, if Geno Smith moves to Star for good. They will have to beat out Smith, Fulton for the job though. One will be in the 2nd string rotation. Allen might get some playing time as well, but i dont see him beating out, Devall, Ragland, Lee, Anderson, or Hayes at any of the LB positions.

Surprise - Walker Jones. His father will tell you he is the most athletic of of Jones brothers.

O- Ahmad Fullwood
D- Marcel Harris
Underrated- Adam Lane I think he gets more carries then Kelvin Taylor

ND

Offense: Greg Bryant
Defense: Max Redfield
Out of nowhere: James Onwualu

JaQuay Williams
Tommy Sanders
Brett Wade

LSU

Offense-Desean Smith-We severely lack a receiving threat at TE and Smith will remedy that.

Defense-Could go many different ways here but will go with the guy I expect to play the most next year, Tredavious White at CB. We're very young at CB already but as is our history lately, a true freshman will play alot. White is in the discusson as the best CB in the country

Suprise-Lewis Neal- we need DEs to contribute next year and Neal(who is considerably underrated because he lacks the measurables everyone fawns over) is by far the most college ready of our group. Small at just 6'1 230+ but is very skilled as a pass rusher and has that fire to succeed early. Real steal in this guy.

1 - Khalid Thomas

1 - Alvonte Bell

1 - DeAngelo Yancey

Oh, you know he's going to MSU,
