There was plenty of talk of UM being right in it for Schofield on various boards. There weren't any hints of him today or anything, though.
A very nice pickup for RR, and a step in the right direction. OL is less of an issue moving forward with their youth and talent brought in last year. I don't think that position is all that "concerning" for now, after this verbal.
DE is still the elephant in the room, until some quality verbals run it away. 15 seems to have a lot of chickens counted.

It should also be noted that Schofield's commit came out of almost nowhere, without a whole lot of previous indication that Michigan was even heavily in the mix let alone leading in any way, which is why I'm not too worried about claims that we're doing so terrible because we only "lead" for two or three players.

I agree that you will absolutely land a couple more OL/DL recruits, scUM is still a brand name and the name will get some kids. Question is, will they be the calibre of kids that can succeed in the Big-10? You have to admit that your recruiting along the lines is way below par compared to under Carr and company.

The home unis were fine. These away ones lend credence to NFBuck's "Morgantown North" schtick.

Will they avoid the Neb, ND, UCLA, etc program curse of the three stripes?

In RR system he doesn't want protypical NFL OL...He wants his OL around 285-290 LBS and not a pound more. They need to be able to run and have very good fitness with the offensive system he runs. Definately a good pick-up that fits their system.
Last time I checked DE was part of the DL...DE is a huge ? for Michigan down the road.
I'm glad they continue to get offensive players. I hope their class consist of at least 66% offensive players. The only position I think they are good is DT. They need to add depth at every other position.
