all I have to say is this is the best depth at WR that I’ve seen from Michigan maybe ever.
Mike Sainistril and Giles Jackson continue to show they need more reps. They have explosion and shiftiness the other WRs just don’t have. These guys both are explosive, quick-twitchy, and have top notch change of direction. These guys should be starting in the slot, not Ronnie Bell.
Nico and DPJ have started to come alive on the outside. Black has actually been the quiet one. Which is a little sad because before all the injuries he was ahead of both of them.
Ronnie Bell is a very smooth and fluid athlete with really good speed, but his hands are just not consistent enough. Sainistril and Jackson both show better hands and are more explosive. I even think another frosh- Cornelius Johnson needs more playing time. He’s barely played but every time he’s gotten live action he’s flashed big time talent.
I’m thinking more about what Michigan’s offense might look like next year if Nico, Tarik, and DPJ all come back.
They’ll get Chris Evans back at RB and Zach Charbonnet and Hassan Haskins have been a pretty good freshman duo. Evans brings a shifty, speedy, versatile pass catching dimension those guys lack. Another year under Gattis and Evans at RB back in the fold- as long as all three of the junior WRs come back and Dylan McCaffrey is ready this offense could really go next level next year.
