CB Michael Jackson leaning towards entering the draft

You are incorrect. If you can't handle people correcting you misinformation without turning into a butt-hurt little faqquit, then don't post information you get 57th hand.
Your Facebook group sucks--Category 6 or whatever it is, has gone full ******. MJ has done everything asked of him by his coaches and had a very good seasons. The nonsense about Banda and Diaz couldn't be more incorrect either. Banda doesn't even coach MJ's position moron, that's Rumph. So again, your information is putrid.
I’d be surprised...shocked, really - if Michael Jackson was a combine sub-4.60.
I'll agree that a lot of our fans tend to way overvalue our players' abilities when it comes to the draft. Some of these dues think every guy with a U on the side of his helmet is a lock for the first three rounds and then come draft day, they're all crying about how so and so got ignored. The only early entry on this roster I can 100% get behind is Walton. Everybody else stands to improve their stock. Maybe, some of these guys will actually listen to the advisory board when they tell them "you're a day three pick at best" and they stay in school.
Another thing about our fans is that we are the only fanbase who thinks our players have maxed out as underclassmen when they are actually not. I cant tell you how many times on this board I have heard "He should go. He wont help himself by staying. He is pretty much maxed out. It will only hurt his stock by sticking around another year"...
It was said about Streeter (because he had graduated), Forston, Yearby, Kaaya and is now being said about Jaquan, Norton, McIntosh and now MJ..Do fans just have zero faith in our coaching staff to make these kids that much better if they stay around another year? People talk about "Players from Bama and LSU and OSU leave early all the time" but I cant remember the last time a Bama or OSU player left early just to be a 2nd round pick. Thats how UM use to be and I hope we get back to that.

I think he is about 6’2”, 205, which is ideal size. I saw 4.4 in a heard article or something. even if that is correct, I don’t think he plays that fast. But, just from the eye ball test, he just doesn’t have that smooth, flip the hips look that the top CBs do.
A quick look at the 2017 draft shows 10 CBs taken in first 2 rounds. Can MJ be a top 10 CB in the nation? I suppose. But if his production mirrored this years, I still think he is a mid round guy. And with only 1 year or real film/PT, I think he is a late round guy this year.

These premature defections wreak of Drew Rosenhaus
I’d be curious to see his shuttle time. When he made noticeable plays it was usually down field, where his straight line speed would be helpful. I’d wager his shuttle is below other top CB prospects.

So true. **** what's even more concerning is apparently our DT's were talking about leaving early before the season. Stuff like that has to stop.

Cat 6 is full of idiots such as yourself. This is a private group and just because you aren't someones position coach doesn't mean you can't have an issue with a player. Again this person has been correct on 85+% of his info so again I'll take his over whatever you think you may know.
Don't care one way or the other
He's one of the fastest guys on the team. In the 4.45-4.49 range at the worst

Thats because none of the people arguing for any of these kids leaving early has a leg to stand on. Mind you, they arent defending the decision of all americans, or even all conference players. Not even kids in the top 10 in their position group. But since none of them watch a snap of football beside miami they think they are awesome, and that despite multiple sources saying they are no better than a mid round pick, the posters are smarter.
Rosenhaus needs to die in a gaAy nightclub fire.

The people mentioning Rosenhaus, is he even representing any player we have that left early to flop and not even make a roster? I have not kept up with who he represents but the guy has to have a lot of money and no time for these kind of guys. He probably doesn't even know they exist.
Apparently (from his mom) he only asked for a draft grade. That doesn't sound like leaning to me
4.45-4.49? At the combine? Semi-automatic? I don’t think so, but if he is, he is. No stake in being right/wrong.
For the guys ****ting on Norton and McIntosh about the Clemson game...I dunno....Clemson could not run the ball at all and those 2 were responsible for it. They might not have caused havoc in the pass rush but Clemson could not MOVE them.
