I would also take him, but if we take him, we might not of pulled in Washington and Robo at the end of the recruiting process.
I guess I am always a fan of taking what you have and I will take the combo of Hartline, Robo, Washington that we pulled in that year.

:pIt wouldn't surprise me to see Breaston on the sidelines for 2 wr sets... Arrington could step up to be a nice possession WR for them.

Heck I forgot that Amos was in that class too.
The michigan fans still have hope for Breaston, but he doesnt seem to do much in the passing game besides catch those little screens. I say just jam him at the line all game, and he wont be much of a factor.

He would look great as a buckeye but, I would stick with G @ G as the starters. OSU group of WR'S right now might go down as the best of all time together . Next year, might be better to:)

I think he's the only true recruit we lost that has turned out to be a star.

Ohioan Manningham is now a Michigan man
ANN ARBOR - Mario Manningham arrived at Michigan as an outsider.
Nearly everyone around him growing up in Warren, Ohio, had scarlet and gray in their blood. Manningham attended Warren G. Harding High, the same school that sent the forgettable Maurice Clarett to Ohio State. Yet Super Mario, a Parade All-American receiver, bypassed the Buckeyes to sign with the Wolverines. Manningham immediately became public enemy No. 1 in Columbus. "To come from Ohio, you know early on that nobody likes Michigan, and nobody from Michigan likes Ohio," he said. "There isn't any middle ground, so you either have to join them or play against them." Ohio State has been ranked No. 1 since the preseason, while Michigan jumped from No. 11 to No. 6 after Saturday's 47-21 thumping of then-No. 2 Notre Dame. Manningham, a 6-foot, 187-pound sophomore, played a huge role in the Wolverines' first victory in South Bend in 12 years. He left Notre Dame's defenders grasping for air en route to catching a career-high three touchdown passes. Manningham, who finished with four catches for a career-best 137 yards overall, was the first Michigan receiver to snag three touchdown passes in a game since Braylon Edwards did it in his final college game in the 2005 Rose Bowl against Texas. This was Manningham's brightest moment yet in a maize and blue uniform. He is arguably the second-best receiver in the Big Ten, behind Ohio State's Ted Ginn Jr. "I think the sky's the limit for him," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. "He's a guy that is much bigger, stronger and faster than he was a year ago. He has bought into the work ethic that it takes to become an outstanding player for us." Manningham, named the Big Ten's offensive player of the week, averaged 34.25 yards per catch against Notre Dame. He was wide open on the first score, a 69-yarder in the opening quarter. Notre Dame cornerback Ambrose Wooden bit on quarterback Chad Henne's pump-fake. Manningham then raced past Wooden down the right sideline, caught the ball in stride and waltzed into the end zone untouched. Michigan never trailed after that, scoring the most points allowed by Notre Dame at home in 46 years. In the second quarter, Manningham used his 4.39 speed in the 40-yard dash to burn Irish cornerback Terrail Lambert for touchdown receptions of 20 and 22 yards. "You can't match up with Mario one-on-one because he is too fast," Henne said. Manningham is building a nice resume with his nine receptions for 208 yards and four touchdowns for 3-0 Michigan, which hosts Wisconsin Saturday. He had six touchdown catches a year ago as a freshman - one shy of Anthony Carter's record of seven - and he finished with 27 catches for 443 yards while serving as the third or fourth receiver. Manningham's first career touchdown catch came against Notre Dame in 2005, but the one that made national headlines was his 10-yarder on the final play of the game against Penn State that ruined the Nittany Lions' unbeaten season. "I don't care how many catches I have, or how many touchdowns I score, I just want to win," he said. Manningham is starting to make his case as Michigan's next great receiver. The folks back in the Buckeye State are starting to notice.

My swing feels like an unfolding lawn chair.
so i have nothing better to do at 4am than watch my dvr of "the game" last year. i am watching manningham and i am so impressed. i really appreciate that he followed his heart to scUM but man he would have been a great Buckeye. I love our receivers but this guy is going to be a baller for the next three "games". question... will he switch to the famed 1 jersey next year or do you have to be a senior to wear that?

And it's a good thing we got Malcolm Jenkins.
Braylon wore #1 his JR so I'm sure Mario could if he wants to.
