#1 Cohen got paid several hundred thousand last year already. Do you think UM is paying Nigel Pack $400k per year and isn't breaking off top football players?
#2 Williams was atrocious tackling in Soph year (probably b/c of shoulder injury) and was significantly better his JR year.
#3 Tyrique Stevenson came as a 1 yr rental and then realized he should stay another year and improve his draft status. Kind of worked out for him, didn't it?
#4 KK is never sniffing the 1st round and in no way, shape, or form had 1st round production. Even his AA year he made it b/c of INTs while also routinely getting burned. Another year would have done him some good as well.
UM is trying to climb back up the mountain and if every draft-eligible guy leaves the first second someone waves a few bucks in front of their face it's going to be harder and take longer for UM to get back.
I haven't looked in depth at the Michigan roster but 5+ guys came back and they all likely improved their draft status. Same for Ohio State this coming year. If you aren't a 1st or 2nd round lock its better to come back in most cases than to leave early.
I have my opinion and you have yours.
1.) Cohen got paid what he got paid BECAUSE he was a 1 year rental. Hs a ****** interior lineman what improvement or where are you expecting 4im to go other than middle rounds?.
On the bolded they arent breaking off a bunch of players an i hope you understand the difference in a basketball player and a gadang 1 technique dtackle.
2.) You cant tell me anything about James Williams i have known him since he was a 9th grader and one of em that told him he would be a de to which he would always high tail it away from me lol
3.) Tyrique stevenson was 6'0 205+ pounds at combine times here at um i think dude was 215 or so. Him coming back didnt actually help but showed some inconsistencies on his tape. Him coming back had alot more to do with injury and the 2022 being top heavy with 1st round LOCKS that wouldve been drafted over him no matter what.
4.) Kam Kinches had 6 ints in 2022....AND 2023. QUick fast name the safeties that are going over him at this moment?. He most DEFINATELY has 1st round production lol. Another year does nothing for him he has already shown he is a ball hawk from here on all he has to do is perform at the combine and run good.
An excerpt from 2 weeks ago:
2/10/24: Kinchens was phenomenal in 2023. Despite missing time with a head/neck injury, Kinchens came back to the field and picked up where he left off in 2022 as an elite playmaker on the back end. In 2023 over 10 games played, Kinchens totaled 59 tackles, six interceptions and five passes batted. Kinchens needs to run well before the 2024 NFL Draft. Sources have said he could go as high as late in Round 1 or as low as Round 3. He isnt leaving the top 3 rounds no matter if he left this year or next year and after that scary injury i would be out
Kam should indeed leave. Hes one im not mad about leaving.
You know how u get guys to stay you win ****** games and hope to play for national championships. Aint nobody coming back to play for ateam that is staring at 8 wins.
Also you dont know if these suppozsed Michigan guys improved anything.
The guy i think should have came back was Leonard Taylor. But ithen i remembered when he signed he stated he will be here for 3 years. It is what it is.
But even Taylor may end up goinge arly because it apepears to be a weak dt class this year.
