A cornucopia of bad DFBIA takes.
More DFBIA crying about "lack of respect".
Because ESPN only put 2 of their players in their top 100.
Lot's of whining about Henderson coming in ahead of Corum.

YES! That's what i saw. they sing praises of Paris, yet... he didnt play over that clown show line they had last year?
That said, who do we think is in that top 100? I think Andrel Anthony or Erick All could play their way in, but our offense doesn't put up stats that show people what our guys can do.. and with all the weapons, its diluted a bit.
Who else needs to be on the list?
Andrel Anthony had 12 catches last year and seems like more of a "gadget" player than anything at this point. Erick All is not even a top 10 (maybe not even a top 20) TE in college football.
Also there's the built in excuse for why none of these supposed "weapons" will have very impressive numbers. "THERES JUST TOO MANY OF THEM!!"
Ok.......

All is awesome and Anthony has big play ability.
Donovan Edwards will be a Heisman finalist.

Mazi about to make a statement.....
and Barrett, what about Barrett?
More Mazi Smith drooling because he put up nice workout numbers. The product on the field to date has not matched though.
Barrett is Michael Barrett. The one they called "THICC CURTIS SAMUEL" (weirdos) guy is coming into his 5th year at scUM putting up a MASSIVE 71 Tackles and 2 Sacks in his first 4 years combined. "Statement" indeed.

Edwards and JJ will be in the top 100 come December
Plenty of "Where is McCarthy" talk as well. They have already basically relegated Reno Jesus to 2nd class citizen.

Last year, ESPN ranked one Michigan player in the top 100- Hutchinson was #53.
Also, they had Ohio State with 5 in the top 100.
Could someone remind me how all of that turned out again?
The typical "THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT OHIO STATE AND MICHIGAN ONCE SO THATS HOW IT IS FOREVER NOW" thought and logic process.

Never forget, Michigan was ranked in the 1st two weeks of the 2020 season and unranked to start last year. I don't mind the "disrespect".
People have mentioned Smith/Edwards/JJ below, but players like Ronnie Bell, Erick All, almost any Olineman and according to the football bits, Junior Colson could end up here by end of the year.
"BUT BUT 2020 AND THEN 2021" all they can talk about is the past, and because the "experts" were wrong on them exactly one time it means they are forever going to be wrong.
Also Ronnie Bell is nowhere near a top 100 overall player. Their fetish for him is comical.

You should be welcoming the DizRezpekt. The last thing Michigan needs right now is a lot of smoke blown up their butts about how great they are before they've played a game.
They are blowing plenty enough smoke up their OWN butts from the sound bites we've gotten so far.
