Matthias is definitely more of a Carr guy.

AA, does this boil down to a size vs speed tradeoff? Dantonio prefers a bigger - and presumably more powerful - guy than Rodriguez that wants speed first and is willing to give up some size?
If this is a correct assessment, it would seem that we would competing more for linemen that the Wisconsins, Penn States, and Ohio States of the world want, rather than what UofM/Illinois is looking for.
