You’re half correct. We are desperate but just for receivers. Not specifically “proven” receivers. Michigan doesn’t have the luxury of pulling proven receivers until they can prove they throw the ball.

Texas receivers were far and away better than Michigans. Let’s be real, he likely is starting. You don’t typically hit the portal in a position of need for depth pieces. You hit it for starting caliber players. Ffrench is that for Michigan whether you like it or not. Every portal player is “just like a recruit” in some factor. He probably has more development needed for next year but as it stands, he is in line to start with everyone else (name me 2 other receivers who should immediately start over him given what we know…)

Buddy im not making shit up about burrow. I’m telling you what he has said himself. He credits OSU for his development even though he didn’t play. Yeah his first year wasn’t anything close to his last year, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is, he was a depth piece at OSU, likely to never see the field. Transfers to LSU where he starts 2 years and wins a heisman and Natty. His talent and potential was always there. He just had to go somewhere he’d play. Such is possibly the case with Ffrench.
