Lavert Hill and David Long have the better pro potential. But no one has grown from nothing until now like Watson under Zordich.
And that decleater above is awesome

Watson has been a pleasant surprise. He's really stepped his game up from last year. Easily the most improved player on the that entire defense. Part of me would like to see him at safety instead of Tyree Kinnel and then move Brad Hawkins to Josh Metellus' spot. I think they'd improve in coverage at safety in a hurry if they made those moves.

Michigan "insider" umbig11 posted about injuries over at Mgoblog and 247.

Gary, Paye, and Chuck Filliaga all good to go. Chris Evans is week to week, will be a game time decision but should be good to go next week. Aubrey Solomon will be back late Oct and Tarik Black will be back in Nov.

I'm just happy Solomon is probably coming back, period. His ceiling is at a whole other level and could cement this defense as 2006/2016ish, though I do worry about the shape he's in after missing so much time.

It's very strange to see how little we are missing Black so far. Encouraging. I guess that's all Shea and the 2017 WR hall, which I guess was kinda filthy.

That 2017 haul was really filthy. DPJ, Nico Collins, Tarik Black, and Oliver Martin? That's an insane WR class.

he was FIVE STARZ for a reason. Freakish talent. His HS tape was incredible and he backed it up at the Army Bowl practices/game. That DL looks a lot better with him in that rotation.

I'd like to know where Solomon is right now in terms of participation and conditioning. My guess is he's not doing too much but would love to be wrong

Black might be back in November but how effective or restored full go could he be?Last year with a similar injury he missed the rest of the season.Good luck if he can pull it off just not sure it's worth rolling the dice at that point.Because if he goes down again in the same season that's all she wrote for that kids confidence and prolly career.

If the severity is the same, then absolutely true. It sounds like it's a similar but less severe injury. Still like the idea of caution unless something extreme happens to the depth chart.
Aside from that though: I bet it's easier for an injured WR to get back to playing weight/conditioning than an injured DT when both are sitting for similar lengths of time.
I'm for real worried about Solomon's ability to come back in peak (or 90% of peak) form.

Took a peek at some of the Nebraska boards. Some of the natives are getting a little restless already.
which is why Nebraska is where it is...  poor leadership at the school and AD has let fans run the program instead of sticking to a plan.   Since Solich, UNL has had 4 coaches with 4 very different systems.  There is no plan like Barry has at Wisc.   And it's shown.  
My full expectation is Nebraska radio will be full of blame ideas that fix the problems.  Very little honest reflection will occur... which is UNL is in a bad spot.   It took 20 years to get here and it won't change overnight.   It's time Nebraska fans accept it and look for small steps rather than "if they run harder and puke more, they can beat OSU".   The locals are blinded by the past.

I'll go back to what I said last week...  too many systems for these guys.  The OL was recruited for a completely different system and it shows.   I thought 6 wins but I might not have understood how difficult it would be for uNL to run it's new offense.

Michael Zordich is an excellent DBs coach. And, like Watson, he largely got a whodat? from fans when Harbaugh hired him.

Really?  Didn't he play like 15 years in the NFL?  I certainly remember him
