Adolphus Washington to OSU *EDIT* Not so fast
August 25th, 2011 at 2:18 PM ^
Because I thought you meant the state and I for one was confused
August 25th, 2011 at 2:18 PM ^
I'll take that over Sparty....he had been saying some good things about MSU the past few months.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:31 PM ^
MSU never wanted him. They recruit nationally now. Getting players from Ohio is what the old Sparty did.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:34 PM ^
The only thing MSU does nationally is show up in the police blotter:
August 25th, 2011 at 2:19 PM ^
Just as long as we don't pull a Bucknuts and wish a Hillbilly-Jihad on he and his family.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:22 PM ^
Hillbilly-Jihad... that's a HALOL.
I'm guessing you won't see many "we didn't want him"s or "may he be afflicted with lupus and lyme disease"s around here
August 25th, 2011 at 2:25 PM ^
hillbilly-jihad. Priceless!
August 25th, 2011 at 2:29 PM ^
Yes, previous fatwas have been issued against Herbstreit, Pryor, and Kyle Kalis' kneecaps.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:52 PM ^
OSU fans always bring the class
August 25th, 2011 at 2:43 PM ^
And Hillbilly Jihad is my fantasy team name. Thank you, good sir.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:54 PM ^
hillbilly - jihad = best line of the day!
August 25th, 2011 at 3:23 PM ^
This will be immediately added to the MGoDictionary and be used forever more.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:31 PM ^
So long as I receive appropriate attribution
August 25th, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
BRONSON....IN....."HILLBILLY JIHAD"
August 25th, 2011 at 4:10 PM ^
..is the sincerest form of flattery. Thank you.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
And a Hillbilly-Jihad to you too!
August 25th, 2011 at 2:20 PM ^
Damn. I would assume this also hurts our chances with Stanford.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:22 PM ^
I'm pretty sure we have been out on standford for awhile.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:30 PM ^
We might have been out with Standford forever, but we are still in it with Stanford. Bizzarre timing of the commitment because he had seemed pretty adamant about committing at the ua all american game. Too bad, I think he is a future all american.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:22 PM ^
Not a surprise, and our DL class looks excellent (would be super-excellent with O'Brien). I hope we didn't make a mistake by telling Pittman whatever we told him, though.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:24 PM ^
"You have U of M ability but MSU grades."
August 25th, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
Others have UMich grades but MSU ability. Either way, they are not starting.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:23 PM ^
I wish him luck in every game but "The Game".
August 25th, 2011 at 2:24 PM ^
I wish him luck in every part of his life but OSU football.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:07 PM ^
I completely agree.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:26 PM ^
completely and utterly wrong.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:28 PM ^
What? It stood for on topic.
DO NOT QUESTION THE GREAT DIABEETUS.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:47 PM ^
Heh, nice save.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:25 PM ^
That's too bad, but it seems like our DL recruiting has come down to Danny O'Brien or none. Wish him the best of luck except when he plays us.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:46 PM ^
That is too bad, but I don't mind having Danny O'Brien in this class.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:54 PM ^
Haven't seen an update on him in a long time, are we completely out of it for his services?
August 25th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
The staff has shown that it is going after a select few players that they want and stick by those players. The spot appears to be Obrien's unless he wants to go somewhere else.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:29 PM ^
When we stopped recruiting Pittman I really hoped we would land Washington. I really liked the guys film and now we will be playing against him. Good luck to the kid.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:38 PM ^
Good job by Fickell to land him, there is no problem with a homegrown kid staying home especially after the NCAA has shown they have no integrity to level nuclear level sanctions on OSU (I dont assume much at least as they didnt even interview 3/4 of the shady characters from Tressell Gate).
August 25th, 2011 at 2:41 PM ^
Would also presume that O$U is telling recruits at this point "don't worry, it's all good" as far as further and more serious NCAA punishment, which would again be disappointing.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
That worked for USC.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:43 PM ^
Really wish he were a Wolverine, but he'll do well wherever he goes. Great athlete and a bright future.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
He never seemed to show that much interest in Michigan anyway. The fact he never could make the time over the summer to make a visit (unofficial or official) up here said a lot. Oh well, good luck to him except when TSIO plays us.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:47 PM ^
RON SIMMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 25th, 2011 at 2:53 PM ^
there's been a lot of speculation that pittman's commitment to msu is pretty soft. any chance we swoop back in and relieve sparty of their top recruit?
August 25th, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
Honestly, yes. But he needs to improve his grades for that to happen. Sorry Valenti.
August 25th, 2011 at 4:05 PM ^
then i really hope he gets his grades up. the rcmb meltdown would be epic!
August 25th, 2011 at 4:22 PM ^
I like Valenti most days. Although, he goes on his "thatsss riiight" Michigan Football - the only school with tradition, sarcasm mode. He has been soaking up that MSU butter for 3 years too long!
August 25th, 2011 at 4:19 PM ^
I really don't think so. I believe Pittman's coach gave an interview after he committed to state in which he said UM told Pittman they were full at his position. That problem still stands. The only way I see it changing is if they re-shuffle D-line positions and/or LBs and realize they can take another rush end.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
If he decommits from Sparty he'll be heading to OSU.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:54 PM ^
I'd take O'Brien instead. Think global. Vote local.
August 25th, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
too bad....
August 25th, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
Bring in Yuri Wright!!!
