Why doesn't it work that way?
Because Bluiett’s main sensitivity about coming to Michigan is playing time. And if we make it clear that he’s option C behind Blackmon and Booker, it’s not exactly going to assuage that fear. I mean, who really knows, I guess we’ll find out.

Well, if Blackmon/Booker commit elsewhere, wouldn’t that inherently imply that Bluiett would get playing time?
I mean, I don’t know either, I’m just saying that it is a possibility.
It’s not a unique opinion but I would be absolutely shocked if anything happened between Bluiett and Michigan.
I posted my opinion on the BLOG comments, but thought I’d share them here. I know Michigan’s recruiting landscape has changed since Beilein got here, but one of the main things I like about Beilein is his consistency - usually it’s consistency based on a set of core values. In this case, I think it’s consistency based on one of his tenets of recruiting - he wants guys that are “running through the doors” to play for Michigan - which he believed when he recruited Novak and Douglass. I don’t think Bluiett falls in that category.
