Yeah it's pretty funny, everybodies walking all over UM this year in recruiting and if Michigans own scout staff is writing that story and can't slant it then it's just that much greater.

I think in my opinion that we really need to get him. I think we need some d-backs and he would be a great one to get.

I hope he commits to ND.

Are you looking to take two safeties in this class?

Also, is Blanton similar to Dan McCarthy in terms of being a free safety(or is he more of a strong safety)?

Blanton is being recruited to and will play CB at ND. He is listed as a High School safety, but he plays all positions in the Defensive Backfield, and lines up pretty much wherever he wants to. He will be a very physical CB in college, which is exactly what ND is looking for. Most of the DB's that ND is looking at this year play Safety in HS, Blanton, Slaughter, Leslie, & McCarthy. Only McCarthy is being recruited as a Safety. The only pure HS CB being recruited that ND has a shot at is Jeremy Brown, and he is just as likely to end up as a WR as he is a CB.
