Freshman QB Ryan Mallett has left Michigan, and, according to his dad, Texas A&M is in the running for the 5-star recruit. It seems most likely that Mallett will follow one of the Michigan assistants if they get picked up by a major program, but he is "open-minded about any program that runs a pro-style offense." Now that Fran is gone and we have a guy that has been running pro offenses for a number of years, we would fit that bill.

Mallett was rated as the #2 overall QB recruit in 2007, just behind Notre Dame's freshman tackle dummy QB Jimmy Clausen. Behind Clausen... that makes the #2 tag seem a lot less sexy.
