Michigan just got a commitment from 4-star Edge Dominic Nichols, and already had Devon Baxter committed.

Stewart becomes that much more important…

6’4 205 is light for what we seem to be looking for. Smaller than our LBs. And Safeties in some respect.

Coach Taylor loves this kid and I can see why. 6'4" 205 lbs is just fine for a DE prospect who hasn't even begun his senior year if the coaches think that his frame can add weight easily. I'm sure that the coaches see Rudolph as a 6'6" 245+ lbs DE with a great first step and the natural athleticism to bend and dip his way to multiple sacks. I really want Rudolph in this class.

Me too. Would be nice to at least split Rudolph and Lightfoot. Both announcing same day or close to it.

Ppl probably wouldn’t troll as much if others didn’t state over and over and over again that Mario is going to bring in the monster d-line class. Same as the OL last year.

So much hype on this board about the DL. I think we end up with a solid DL class but the board/Gabby/Geo has put possibly an unrealistic goal out there over and over so yeah ppl are going to complain if he doesn’t materialize.

What ppl need to realize is getting elite DT is extremely hard. They are extremely limited in quantity and usually the $EC, o$U and teams like that pay tons of money to secure the top ones each year.

DE is a little easier to get top guys at the position cause there are more and Mario has KT he can show as a recruit he got and went 1st rd plus JT now on staff. I feel better about DE than I do DT with big Joe leading the recruiting.

Good post. You state many facts not the least of which is the supply and demand issue with elite DT's. Football at it's core about leverage and Uber talented DT's provide foundational leverage and are therefore in great demand. The issue is there are only so many available each year which makes them quite valuable.

When UM decided that they were going to commit the necessary resources in order for the football program to be able to compete at an elite level and Mario was brought in, he had the organizational blueprint used by Saban at Alabama. My point being that we are now equipped with the requisite financial horsepower needed to win these battles.

In terms of the very high expectations that have been created, those come directly from Mario and staff. Mario came into this with the intention of creating a new paradigm. As fans of this program what we have witnessed over the last 20 years has beaten us down and made many of us cynical and rightfully so. So when you add to that 5-7 and the Gattis fiasco in Mario's first year, the response was more than understandable. The thing is that we are for all practical intents and purposes essentially starting over as a program with a brand new way of doing things. With the Miami brand and everything Miami has accomplished in the modern era, expectations should be high assuming the commitment to winning is in place under the right leadership.
