Why in the living hell would anybody want to go to NC State over the University of Michigan? The answer is not one trainwreck football season.
October 11th, 2014 at 2:54 PM ^
Correct. I think his dad finally won out with his concerns about distance from home.
October 11th, 2014 at 3:07 PM ^
October 11th, 2014 at 6:04 PM ^
I think you mean 5 out of the last 6 Trainwreck seasons in a row

Well considering he commited after previous seasons and before this year's tanking, I'd say yes.
October 11th, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
maybe he just wants to keep things close to home and play ACC ball - or maybe he realized this train wrecks not improving any time soon especially under poppa hoke. considering um for this long in their current / recent state is commendable. but most big time DL prospects want to be tutored for pros and get after QBs in college on way to the draft - and thats obviously not happening much lately at um. gotta do whats best for him

It was a whilwind romance.

October 11th, 2014 at 2:53 PM ^
It's going to happen with the current situation. It's inevitable. I'm just looking forward to watching tonight's game because we get a finite amount of Michigan football every year, and good or bad I enjoy rooting for this team.

It is still Michigan.
It will matter when Les Miles, or either Harbaugh (or my personal pick, Jim Tressel) say that.
October 11th, 2014 at 2:52 PM ^
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
October 11th, 2014 at 3:23 PM ^
that is exactly how i feel about this
October 11th, 2014 at 2:52 PM ^
I'm personally turning this thread into a Pos Bang.
October 11th, 2014 at 2:53 PM ^
I think Runyan, Kinnel, Weber, David, Newsome, and Malzone are pretty solid no matter what happens. The other 4 I'm not so sure.
October 11th, 2014 at 2:57 PM ^
Rivals mentioned that Weber will take visits.
Also PSU is going after Malzone, but I don't think they are a real threat.
October 11th, 2014 at 3:01 PM ^
Yeah. Too bad we won't be able to hold on to all of them . That is the reality of our situation.

Give it a few weeks, I figure he has a few more decommits and commits in him.
October 11th, 2014 at 2:55 PM ^
but very disappointed anyhow. Seemed like a good kid from a good family.
October 11th, 2014 at 2:55 PM ^
he's decommits from a school that is a traditional football power (albeit going through some down years) and academically elite institution and commits to a school that is traditionally crappy at fooball (and who just got destroyed by Clemson 41-0) and very average academically.
Yeah, that makes sense.
But it's an individual choice and good luck to him.
October 11th, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
Also, take a look at this team right now? Why in the hell would any kid with any kind of talent want to come to Michigan right now? At least strictly on the football side of things. Hoke has proven time and time again that he can't develop talent.

how to read?
Let me repeat:
"But it's an individual's choice. Good luck to him."
A student or athlete's choice of schools is extremely complicated and a personal choice.
I was just accurately noting the comparative traditional strengths of the two institutions with regards to football and academics, arguably at or near the top of reasons why a student-athlete football player chooses a school.
Michigan will continue to be superior to NC State academically. And despite recent troubles, Michigan's traditional football-power status gives it a signficant advantage over the NC States of the football world.
And if you can't see why "any kid with any kind of talent would want to come to Michigan right now," I could give you plenty of reasons.
October 11th, 2014 at 4:04 PM ^
That the almost certain new staff WOULD be able to do better at developing said players, just by virtue of "they could hardly be worse at it" . They just have to commit, as Newsome did, to UM and not just Hoke.
October 11th, 2014 at 3:13 PM ^
Their HC is a lot better than Hoke. He had two monster seasons at NIU, is young, energetic, has a fun offense and is in the early stages of turning around NC State. Yes they got destroyed by Clemson but Roseboro was at the game NC State was up 28-7 on FSU and played them very close to the end. UM cant even play Utah close. That is in year 2 of that coach's regime. How the hell did UM look versus Alabama in year 2? No different than NC State vs Clemson.
This Michigan arrogance needs to stop. Most kids who are 16-17 are relying on their dad's to tell them UM was good. I bet NC State has the same record overall from 2009-2014. And NC State sucks.
Right now the best thing UM is offering football players is academics. NFL development is laughable and the team is 1-9 versus the last TEN Power 5 conference teams.
October 11th, 2014 at 3:39 PM ^
NC St. played well against FSU and got destroyed by Clemson. They beat Georgia Southern by 1 and and ODU by 12 and went 3-9 last year.
The only evidence of a turnaround is the first half against FSU.
NC St. beat FSU the year before he arrived and won 8 and 9 games the two previous years.
Put it this way if Michigan hires a Dave Doeren level coach the reaction will not be positive.

Michigan fans are arrogant because they went to the best public university in the United States. They are all excellent in their chosen profession. I expect the AD and head coach to be held to the same standard.
Does NC State really have a better coach? Did their coach win a BCS game?
October 11th, 2014 at 2:56 PM ^

This is the price you pay for a coaching change.

Tough to get upsetver little things like this when you're sitting at 2-4.
October 11th, 2014 at 2:59 PM ^
KLS is in AA
I'm here
October 11th, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
There is blood in the water. Hoke and the rest of the staff plus our committed recruits will all be ravaged by the time its all done...
October 11th, 2014 at 3:04 PM ^
October 11th, 2014 at 3:06 PM ^
I'm sure Mike Farrel will tell us he was right all along now...
October 11th, 2014 at 3:06 PM ^
Good luck to him. Getting worked up about recruiting at this point seems pretty irrelevant given the coaching situation. I fully expect if Hoke comes back some of these kids will come back, others are lost. But with a new coach, who knows.
