How did you vote this week? Let us know in the comments and let us know if you think a player who isn’t one of these six is the biggest addition (perhaps Utah cornerback Smith Snowden or Utah defensive lineman Jonah Lea’ea). New Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham and his staff did such a good job of adding portal talent in such a short amount of timing that this poll should be interesting.
