I'm at a loss when it comes to Ian Bunting. My eyes tell me he is an NFL TE and walking miss-match for defenses. I thought Ian would take over for Jake Butt and be one of the best TE's in the nation last season. How did my prediction go? Ian had one catch all year.
Ian barley played the last two years and his best game was the Orange Bowl after Jake went out with an injury. His decision to transfer for his 5th and final year is not a surprise as any new program will give him more opportunities then Jimmy has the last two years. So what's the issue? I can only guess he had trouble blocking, which kept him off the field. I wouldn't be surprised if Ian lands on his feet at another program and ends up in the NFL Draft in a year.
That news was expected, this one wasn't. As Jarrett Patterson is no longer considering Michigan per his father and is down to UCLA and ND.
Remember when I said yesterday that NSD could be boring, now it could be a shut out for the Wolverines. Michigan also took a preferred walk-on spot from kicker Adam Culp which probably means that gray shirt candidate kicker Jake Moody might be looking at some other opportunities.
Now what? Michigan has a week to flip some offensive or defensive lineman from other programs. If they can't, NSD will be about trying to hang on to Otis Reese. If Michigan doesn't add any lineman that will be a huge loss and more speculation about Drevno is not preforming in his role.
Please note: Calvin Anderson the Rice transfer can make a decision before or after NSD and really isn't on a deadline.
- Michigan has offered a preferred Walk-On spot to 2018 OG/DT Kraig Correll.
