I'm glad people are finally starting to give Jenkins some credit. I've been saying all along that he's our best pure corner in this class.

OSU5NC
The problem with us recruitniks is that we put too much stock into star ratings. If star rating were so important Michigan would win the NC every other year. Cooper was a great recruiter but IMO JT is a better evaluator of talent. I would rather be ranked #1 in the polls at the end of the season and win the BCS NC than win the recruiting NC.
When looking at this years recruiting class we have 3 players that IMO were extremely underated. Anderson Russel, Malcolm Jenkins, and Brian Robiskie should have all be 4* players. IMO Tressel has a knack for finding these diamonds in the rough. I'd rather have a less touted kid without an ego than a prima donna superstar with an attitude. JT has recruited very well and IMO has done an outstanding job OOS. I GUESS WHEN WE MAKE IT TO THE ROSE BOWL THIS YEAR PEOPLE WILL START BELIEVING IN OUR STAFFS ABILITY TO RECRUIT!!!

Jenkins reminds me so much of Youboty. Good size, very solid technique, very good cover skills, not the fastest guy on the field but by no means slow.
Add Donald Washington to your list of underrated recruits.

... we got a great CB in Jenkins. An excellent recruiting job by our staff. The got a future AA from Jersey. |
I'm watching a replay of the Governor's Bowl right now and I wholeheartedly agree. He's got big time talent and has also been the main focus of the commentators. When urged to he even proclaimed we will own Michigan this year in their house. I love this kid. |

Apparently, Jenkins is opening some eyes at camp and might not be redshirted this year and could see the field.
