Which is why I only said talent wise. Our coaching and development isn’t as strong as theirs, but we are slowly having the studs to do it. Now Mario make needs to look in the mirror and make adjustments so we can start executing like he did at Oregon
If you’re talking about what I said, then I clearly said they aren’t super far off talent wise. Especially with the new classes coming in. Obviously not at Michigans level yet
So would restrepo, Cohen, Mauigoa, LT, Kitchens, Bain. I mean they definitely have more depth thank us, which is why we are still not there yet. Having said that, I think some starters are top notch
Restrepo is better than Wilson. Young is without a doubt more talented than Cornelius Johnson. Cohen and Mauigoa would start on any line in the country. LT is a potential first round pick. Kitchens is one of the best safties in the county. Bain would be in the first team rotation at every school...
Restrepo, Young, Cohen, Francis Mauigoa, LT, Bain , Mauigoa, Kitchens. A healthy Mesidor would play a lot. Fletcher and Parish would get snaps. A healthy Arrayo would play. Should I keep going?
I’d take Restrepo over Wilson any day of the week. Young is way better than Cornelius Johnson. Mauigoa and Cohen would start anywhere in the country. Bain would get significant playing time at every school in the country. Kitchens is one of the best safeties in the country. I forgot about LT
Which is why I said we aren’t far off. We’ve been at the same level of recruiting as them the last few seasons. Our lack of talent isn’t the reason we only won 7 games this season
I mean the philosophy works. Is Michigan really that much more talented than us? The answer is no, we aren’t that far off. They’re just significantly more disciplined and are prepared for these fakes
