I agree that they do not have *enough* elite players to be beating these other teams. But that does not mean they don't have *any*. You said to name one.

An honorable mention D1 player is your definition of elite? Well, I can't argue with opinion.

They’ll have to figure out that 10 man ride.
So will UVA. UM through their 10 man ride on my Statesmen this pat weekend and did a pretty good job.
I think they have elite AA talent, Just need one of them to have that big break out game in big game, and I think they get on a roll.a fan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 11:43 amAn honorable mention D1 player is your definition of elite? Well, I can't argue with opinion.
Agree to disagree, I guess. I have a very different definition.

My definition of elite D1 player is: you can safely argue the player is the best at their position. That usually means you can count them on one hand.lorin wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 9:06 pmI think they have elite AA talent, Just need one of them to have that big break out game in big game, and I think they get on a roll.a fan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 11:43 amAn honorable mention D1 player is your definition of elite?

Still, they have enough good talent so that they should be winning more and being more competitive. And that includes not getting absolutely wiped out by UVA, much less, defeated by double-digit goals, this coming Saturday.a fan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 12:10 pmMy definition of elite D1 player is: you can safely argue the player is the best at their position.

So for me, Michigan doesn't have one of these players.
They have lots of good D1 players....a few really good players. The problem for Michigan has been, of course, is so did/does every other top 30 team in D1.
That, and they're in the Big10.
I just looked at UVA's results last year. They definitely didn't wipe out lots of rock-solid teams.jrn19 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 2:55 pm Did UVA wipe out a lot of good teams last year? Their best regular season win was Notre Dame by a couple and then in the playoffs they looked great against Brown. Other than that their wins were just okay.
I think they’ll beat Michigan by 5-6, I doubt Michigan gets embarrassed in a laugher, but UVA had a litmus test last year. They were up and down against anyone who wasn’t average - Hopkins, UNC - or just bad - Cuse, and then the truly bad teams they played - aside from that ND game.
I think they’re better this year, but could be a good insight into Michigan, if they get outright embarrassed, they’re probably not good. If they’re competitive - lose by 3-4 - they could be a Top 20 team.

When it comes to his overall efforts and recruiting, yes, Conry is doing a fine job. And I want to see him succeed and be around for a long time. But you have to remember the following:a fan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 6:35 pmWell, I'm certainly rooting for them.lorin wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 5:02 pmI hear ya, I think one of them will be elitea fan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 12:10 pmMy definition of elite D1 player is: you can safely argue the player is the best at their position.

Conry is doing a fantastic job with a new program. It takes time, and people have no patience. Are the kids he's bringing in doing Michigan proud? If the answer is yes, let him build the program.
