[Commitment Watch] '22 4 star DE Mario Eugenio
- Thread starter cyclone4L
- Start date
Highly doubt this was all on ME. My guess is he isn't the athlete Michigan wants on the edge. They will be recruiting those NFL edge types and pure DTs in that system and they already have a lot of guys like Eugenio who are kind of tweeners they have to build. To me, ME is a pretty pure 3-4 end.
I'd compare ME to Bailey FWIW. A great player in ISU's system but there's not a place for that player in UMs system. Freaks and mountains is what it seems like they want to recruit.
Man, what a world to live in - Imagine adding Mario Eugenio to these last 2 classes
In the 2021 class we took
2 DT - Tyler Onyedim, Howard Brown
2 DE - Jayden Gray, Joey Petersen
In the 2022 class we have:
1DT - Hunter Deyo
2DE - Ikenna Ezeogu, R Mason Thomas
I'm in agreement that Mario Eugenio would be a PERFECT fit for the 3-3-5 that we run. He would fit in right away in Eniy's spot or a Jaquan Bailey role.

If they don't sign another OL in this class, then I'd guess Deyo ends up there.
Looked at their committment list, definitely wasn't recruited over. However, he's their 6th decommitment so something is going on.
Michigan pulled the offer. Low ceiling.
His 247 profile does not show a commitment and shows a final four of Kansas, Arkansas, Michigan and USF.
What changed from here? Went from potential all time sack leader to low ceiling.Watch out Will McDonald and Jaquan Bailey, Eugenio will be a contender for all time sack leader.
30 sacks in two years.
I call BS. Bailey could have transferred to and played at Michigan if he was so inclined and if a 4-star isn't good enough for Michigan, then they think too much of themselves. I'm positive Michigan was elated to get his commitment, otherwise they would have never accepted it.
It has nothing to do with how good of a player he can be at a lot of places. It's about not fitting at Michigan. He isn't a DT and he isn't a dynamic enough athlete to play their DE/OLB position. Go look at the guys that are playing and consider that a lot of those guys are young and shouldn't fit the system they are playing now. What they are going for now are NFL edge types that are freak athletes and DTs. They will not be recruiting traditional 5-tech DEs unless they are elite athletes. There just isn't a place for that skillset in their system. It's not a slight on Eugenio. It's just what it is.
Michigan will accept commitments and process them out if they feel the need and that's no different than ISU.
We are SET at edge
