'11 MI RB Justice Hayes (Michigan Commit)

[phork]

He should be committed.

 

[IrishMoore1]

What a fool. I look forward to seeing Manti Te'o and Shembo giving him a tour of the ground on the field.

 

[PANDFAN]

[irishff1014]

TheWolverine.com - Potential position changes for arriving rookies

Justice has been moved to WR.

So... coaching stability & playing RB were the reasons, huh?

Justice Hayes and Raymon Taylor OR Tamani Carter to wide receiver:

The 5-10, 175-pound Hayes caught 53 passes for 549 yards and five touchdowns in his career while the 5-11, 175-pound Carter had 48 grabs for 751 yards and six scores. The 5-10, 170-pound Taylor, meanwhile, nabbed 39 balls for 543 yards and six scores during his sophomore and junior seasons before concentrating exclusively on defense as a senior.

The one thing all three lack is pro-style size but each is explosive, with good hands, and an understanding of route running and blocking.

For Hayes, a crowded offensive backfield and his position's coach adoration from Thomas Rawls seemingly stand in the way of an opportunity at running back this season while the future is murky if one or two of the young tailbacks stand out in 2011.

So...either they have a type at Michigan or they got three of the same thing in case they break two of them?

I didn't see where he had been moved, just that the author was saying that the Skunkbears should consider it?

From the article:

Michigan promises its incoming freshmen the first season of their rookie year they will be given every opportunity to compete at the position of their choice

Am I missing something, here? Is there more than one season to an athlete's rookie year?

They won't break them. ND and MSU will handle that!

 

[aubeirish]

What I want to know is what happened to his ND tattoo?

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I never saw that he had an ND tattoo.

 

[aubeirish]

I never saw that he had an ND tattoo.

Maybe I'm mistaking. I was sure I remembered seeing him with a ND tattoo on twitter.

 

[TerryTate]

Eilar Hardy had the tats I think

Just googled it, and it appears he did get a tat after committing.... ooops.

 

[IrishandColts]

I hope he is a bust.

 

[Buster Bluth]

This guy needs to be at the top of our list...

 

[Whiskeyjack]

This guy needs to be at the top of our list...

Congratulations on adding this fine phrase to the board lexicon. Reps +

I thought so, hehe. I hope he got it removed or he is going to have a hard explaining the tattoo to his new teammates.

 

[Irish.Ca]

I hope he is a bust.

I hope he has a great season right up until we demolish him every single year. Let our D-line make him regret his decision.

Go Irish

 

[irish4ever]

I hope that he's a double bust (along w/ the whole scUM team)!

 

[GBdomer]

Who is Justice Hayes?

 

[Rocket89]

So, all three guys mentioned in that article are under 180.

Shoelaces is 195 (probably being generous). 6 out of their 8 running backs are 200 pounds or less.

And every single receiver who has played significant minute is under 200 pounds except Hemingway.

Now that Michigan isn't in the spread, this is a huge advantage for us.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Rodriguez-style guys. Paradoxically, West Virginia's most unstoppable offense was when there was lightning all over the place but Owen Schmitt was in the backfield to provide some thunder. I don't know why Rodriguez forgot that, but it helps us defend Michigan today without a thunder back.

I have nothing against Hayes. I'm delighted that he's at Michigan duplicating other resources and unbalancing their roster. I'm also happy to see that by moving him around Hoke is showing that he is not at all happy with what Michigan's got yet.

Now if Hoke will just stubbornly cram his style offense down Denard's throat, thus limiting his magic, Michigan should not be offensively effective for a couple of years. In saying this, I wish no ill on any player, just the Michigan side of the scoreboard.

 

[irishandy]

Let Lynch, Tuitt, and Williams remove that ND tatoo for Hayes.

 

[aubeirish]

+1 ^^

 

[football2]

Justice Hayes did not get a ND tattoo.

Old Man Mike, bringing the wisdom (as usual)

I have sports minded friends of mine who seem to think Michigan will challenge for the big 10 crown.

My argument is... How can a 6' scrambler (a la Tate) be succesesful in such a transition? Not intending to demean Denard's intelligence, but in Hoke's Offense, generally you have to snap from under center. I may be being too specific, but I hope you understand...
