Not that we needed them to prove it, but a two-year study recently published by the Michigan State secondary conclusively demonstrated hype based on years-old recruiting rankings is less valuable than the arc of a guy's college career. Chris Hinton Sr.'s five-star younger son's first three years of college were less than five-starry, but he was starting. This is why the announcement that Stanford refugee Myles Hinton had chosen Michigan was as bewildering as it was welcome. I mean, has he seen the depth chart? Is he planning to step ahead of LaDarius Henderson? Karsen Barnhart? Trente Jones? Jeff Persi? It's not the first time a Hinton, at least on the surface, has made a head-scratching career decision. But here's the thing about the whole 5-star transfers down approach: How well has it worked out for those guys? The young portal era has already produced a hundred stories of hyped high schoolers who transferred down to move up the depth chart when they weren't playing enough. How many guys transfer up because they were playing too much? What does it tell you about a guy when he moves to a more competitive situation because of their record for development? What kind of guy says stuff like this? If I work harder, I’ll grow more. Putting myself in positions where I might be a little bit behind or a little bit disadvantaged, in the long run it’ll work out to my advantage. Maybe there's more to Myles than his underclassman tape. [After THE JUMP: How do you tell?]
Michigan picked up a commitment today from transfer cornerback Josh Wallace of UMass. A grad transfer, Wallace will join the team in fall camp and compete for a spot in the rotation at corner during his final season of NCAA eligibility. Let's give him a hello: GURU RATINGS RATINGS BY SITE 247: 6'1/170 On3: 6'1/170 Rivals: 6'1/170 ESPN: 6'0/170 3*, 84, NR Ovr #142 CB, #21 MD n/a no profile no profile 3.39 n/a n/a n/a COMPOSITE RANKINGS 247 Composite On3 Consensus MGoBlog n/a n/a 2*, #733/790 Ovr #67/75 CBs since 1990 n/a n/a 3.39 UMass, eh? Wallace's recruiting profile back when he was coming out of high school was more or less "not applicable". Only 247 bothered to rank him and so we weren't able to get a composite/consensus ranking on Wallace. As you'd expect, Wallace registered as a low 3*, 67th out of 75 corners in our database dating back to 1990. But of course he's not coming to Michigan as a high schooler, he's arriving as a molded four year college player. As a transfer, 247 still has him ranked as a 3* but his rating is up to 88 from 84, showing the strides he made from UMass. The point about this paragraph is simply that Wallace is not your blue chip burning out at one program and going to a new one sort of transfer portal kid. Which you probably knew the moment you heard "transferring from UMass". [AFTER THE JUMP: takes, game tape, and a projection]
As the season is nearly upon us, this is the best Michigan team, on paper, that I can remember since.........1994. Spoiler alert, the incredibly talented 1994 team essentially sat on a whoopie cushion and finished 8-4, broke many Wolverine hearts, and taught me a great lesson about expectations and the emotional burden of serious fandom. I've been a serious fan since 1990, my freshman year, and 94 was my first year of real adulthood, with ties to the football season being a meaningful emotional bridge back to college. While I don't think the 2023 team has any chance of flopping to that d
