Breaking News:Jordan Love to join Michigan’s after a serious outburst

With Sam’s report on Wednesday afternoon that former Ravens and Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale emerging as the potential frontrunner for the same position with the Wolverines, we can discuss some potential specifics recruiting-wise IF the hire is made. This could easily apply to any candidate or hire that comes in from the NFL but we’ll use Martindale as the application for now….

If there is a member on Michigan’s staff or a part of their program who is aware of how important recruiting is to the program, it’s Sherrone Moore. A theoretical Wink Martindale hire would be the opposite of a plus on the recruiting trail. However, it’s my strong belief that Moore is aware that he would have to surround his defensive coordinator with what we call ‘dawgs’ on the recruiting trail. The pressure would ramp up to make the coordinating position coach hires more recruiting oriented. Again, this is something I strongly believe Moore knows.

Welcome to the Real Recognize Real Report. That title isn’t grammatically correct, but it’s not supposed to be. It’s a colloquialism that is commonly used within my family and friend circle, highlighting how a person possessing a particular trait can readily identify others possessing that same trait. A person who is genuine and authentic can recognize other people that are genuine and authentic. The “3R Report” will follow that theme – it’ll always include intel from real, genuine sources whose credibility has been verified. Installments will drop regularly. They won’t always be long, and they won’t always include huge news, but they’ll always be real.

Today’s entry focuses on a breaking news development in Sherrone Moore’s search for Michigan’s next defensive coordinator.

In this daily series we will look at all of the 633 unrestricted free agents that are set to hit the market on the 11th March at noon ET, this is when teams can begin negotiating with them. Despite this, many deals will be negotiated before that time, with the combine seen as the kick off of the unofficial tampering period. There will be some that don’t make it there due to either being franchise tagged before the 4pm ET deadline on the 5th March or being extended by their current team.

Before anyone throws their toys out the pram and moans why are we covering x position when we don’t need a player there. It is important to look at every area of a roster as what you can get in free agency easily shapes what you do with extensions, trades and the draft.

A team like the Cleveland Browns are using free agency and trades to fill any starting spots on the roster as they are competing to win now and not looking to develop a starter as the season goes along. They are going to use their backup and depth spots to develop starters for the future, so when Andrew Berry is making draft picks later in the offseason keep an eye on who they might replace next year.
