'08 OH TE/DE Kevin Koger (Michigan signee)

scUM has 4 commits so far. I've only been following recruiting for 2 years now, but that seems like a really slow start for a class that can have 25. Are their coaches saving schollies for next year?

Koger has likely always known that Michigan intends to take multiple TEs -- you don't offer twelve TEs if you're looking to land only one. Generally 4-5 offers go out per open scholarship. Michigan has offered Moore (1), Koger (2), Hoover (3), Rudolph (4), Stoneburner (5), Ayles (6), Edwards (7), Graham (8), Jordan (9), Ladner (10), Wedderburn (11), and Middleton (12). A few these - Koger, Hoover, and Middleton - also project to DE.

BK's OH Top 20 says Koger may want to commit to the Bucks soon.

This is sort of what I was hinting at with my last post in Kevin's thread... Interesting to see it come out in print...
I guess we'll see what happens...

I've been hearing some rumblings that Koger may not be as UM bound as some think... tOSU is still a player here...

They have somewhere between 4 (min) to 6(max) that will be 5th years with all on track to graduate (which won't affect APR) which means they might not be asked back unless they are a contributer.
The people I talk to expect 23 to 25. Lemming was also on the radio quoting Michigan coaches that they expect to give a full 25 rides this year.

Asking a fifth year senior to not come back for their final season is not cool. Assuming the kid is well behaved.

What are some of Koger's official measurables? I looked around and couldn't find much. From his track photos, he does looks the part.

honestly most schools do this. ND makes all their upcoming 5th year players to apply for that fifth year, and the school either says yeah or nay, depending on mostly if the kid can contribute. Michigan invites a player back for a 5th year if they are eligible only if they are likely to play. It's perfectly legal and good since they held up their part of the deal, allowing the kid free tuition for four years. Now compare that to the SEC where your scholarship is under review after each season, and tell me which is worse?

Not to play devils advocate, but that is the way it is in the real world. I am not saying that is right or wrong...but that is the way it is - your performance dictates your compensation, etc.

Personally, I am not a fan of that approach, but the 85 scholarship limit is the root cause of this approach. I think they should bump that up 10 to 95...to go from 100+ to 85 is difficult.

Anyway, back to Koger...

It looks like most of the class will be locked up before the football season gets underway...

If we do land guys like Zordich, Sweat, Koger, McCarthy, Goebell, Woods...

Then all we are really waiting for are guys like Pryor, Hale, Scott, Rowell, Mobley, Jenkins, Tate, Flyod...

I know I forgot a few names, but it seems like a majority of the class will be in by then leaving the staff with the time to recruit the guys like Pryor, Hale, and the likes and also get a good to great start on the 09' class...
