Always amusing that MSU can't recruit better than us no matter how successful they are or how crappy we get. This is a pretty mediocre class (just based on star ranking) compared to a few of our more recent ones and it's still better than MSU.

On their board, they had an entire thread bragging about how many recruits they had committed with Michigan offers. That was like a month after Harbaugh was hired. They haven't really updated it since our last three commits all had MSU offers.

robertson is raw but might end up the best of the bunch.  We'll see.  He is a serious athlete and they tend to mold those guys into some very good DL types.

Vance also seems to have picked up a lot of recent hype. 

Corley will be another guy on that list of he ends up there which everyone now assumes.  Hill will be another if he flips from PSU.

Eh, even if you remove DeWeaver, it's 7-to-6 in favor of MSU right now.

An offer is an offer, in my mind. I don't really like to get into "well, he chose ____ because ____" because ultiimately, we're not privy to a lot of the reasons these kids are choosing schools.

I NEVER stopped talking shit, and I live in Columbus.  As a matter of fact, the worse we got, the more I talked shit.  It drove my Buckeye fan friends nuts, because I acted like I seriously thought they had no shot to beat us.  Each year.  I obviously knew better, but it felt good getting them visibly angry to tell them that Devin Gardner was a better QB than their three combined.

Way late to this party as I am sitting in the middle of a campground, but one with a lodge that has one hell of a Wi-Fi hotspot (I am about 200 feet from it and still kicking with four bars here). In any case, very nice pickup indeed.

Welcome to Michigan, Brad Hawkins.

Do research. Meet people. Visit School. Ask questions.  Talk with family. Move up timetable like moving up an IPO timetable.  Make best decision of his short life and annouce on twitter at exactly the time he said he would.  NO BS.  No "look at me".

Got. to. love. it.
