Take Kayvon. Stay the course.
The thing that kills me...I know Thibs isn't gonna be a Campbell guy. He's being penalized for daring to be smart and have interests outside of football. Accused of being lazy yet no one can really explain what they mean beyond generic "well he should have been better" talk. You mean the guy everyone thought would be the #1 pick and now looks like he'll be the #2-4 pick? He didn't fall off a cliff. If anything, a guy who isn't better than him on just about any level is being elevated because of the Michigan media machine.

What's the hot take on Thibs if he was in a college playoff game and got completely clowned, like Hutch did?

my only reservation is I didn’t see him play much and when I did he looked ordinary. If he wasn’t pre selected to be this first pick I don’t see anything to suggest he deserves that ranking.

To be fair, all the he doesn’t love football stuff could be teams hoping he slips.

What I have seen is Hamilton ball. On a team with needs I’d prefer to not miss on a pick. I’m perfectly fine missing on a guy who might be great but doesn’t have a motor.

And then he might retire early like Luck or Patrick Willis.

if
He did what Hutchinson did against Georgia he’d be out the top 20.

Michigan media power is insane . How you have two Top 10 picks on D line and let Kenneth Walker turn into Herschel Walker and be invisible against Georgia .


If Hutchinson and Ojabo are top 10 prospects why isn’t George Karlaftis one ? shyt is fugazi.

shyt is bizarro world

But Thibs has done a disappearing act at times too ..that’s why I’m good on all these EDGE nikkas at 2
