Summary

In a football-focused episode, we first answer a series of questions from listeners, looking at defensive players who need to step up, why Michigan's cornerback recruiting isn't the problem some think it is and unpacking some of Don Brown's comments about his defense following Spring practices.

Then, we review some key storylines from the spring, first looking at players who improved their stock the most this spring, We look at key players who made the most of their opportunities, what kind of role such players could have in the fall, who else could be due to step up and how to interpret information that comes out of spring practices.

Finally, we close by ranking Michigan's 10 position groups, comparing our list to a similar list we put out before spring practice began, dissecting hwo and why some groups rose in the rankings and why others fell.
