Isn't Corley expected to go to OSU not MSU?
January 9th, 2016 at 10:45 AM ^
There is some talk that OSU just wants one more WR and they prefer Binjimen Victor from Florida.
January 9th, 2016 at 10:35 AM ^
I have a weird feeling we get Nauta today...I have no inside information, just a gut feeling.

Nauta said: "Hardest decision of my life."
That's the quote you use when you are about to let people down that are important to you . . . i.e. Georgia friends, family, and fans.
He's made a business decision over an emotional decision.
He's going Blue!

didn't he say it to Sam Webb? Could bery well be interpreted as being a disappointment to Sam, not Georgia

no they don't

He has an offer, and he has occasionally mentioned Michigan as being in the mix. However, nothing seems to be brewing there. He hasn't visited yet and hasn't scheduled a visit.
January 9th, 2016 at 10:41 AM ^
disconcerting. I am near certain one of those two will do on to do special things with their athletic talent.
January 9th, 2016 at 11:08 AM ^
Everyone feels this way if your top talent is leaving your own state. But then again, think about every other state's top talent we take as well.
I also have to believe if we wanted Corley, Reese, Fitzpatrick, etc.. we would have made harder pushes towards UM. Not to say those aren't great prospects. They are for sure but the coaches have decided they want to develop other players instead.
January 9th, 2016 at 11:10 AM ^
Regarding Reese and Fitzpatrick, we would almost certainly have them in the fold if we really wanted them. They were both slow-played in different ways, and they felt the love elsewhere.
As for Corley, he was not offered until relatively late in the process. Michigan had a lot of ground to make up because Hoke dragged his feet on offering. I disagree that we would have him if we really wanted him, though. He was always going to be a tough pull from other schools, but this staff did/does really want him. They've worked very hard to convince him and those around him to prefer Michigan. It just hasn't happened.
January 9th, 2016 at 11:32 AM ^
Yeah. Corley was always going to be a tough pull.
I also didn't really say we could've had any of those kids, just that we woud have made a harder attempt at them. Reese was committed and Fitzpatick seemed to be on the verge several times. Corley never returned the love, so we let that ship sail for the most part while still keeping contact.
Although if Gary commits, we will have taken the top talent from New Jersey (Gary), Wisconsin (Bredeson), and Indiana (Peters) in the same year. Close with Illinios (Swenson #2).
January 9th, 2016 at 12:49 PM ^
What is your personal opinion on Corley as a talent? If you had the choice between Corley or Crawford, which would you prefer?
January 9th, 2016 at 1:18 PM ^
I think Corley is very talented. I would probably take him over Crawford based on size, athleticism, etc. I have not heard the greatest things about his attitude and work ethic, so that is a bit of a concern for me. Crawford is a good prospect, too.
January 9th, 2016 at 11:52 AM ^
Think Bush>Reese , Corley>Crawford
At that point it's up to the coaches to help them reach their full potential.

Also....Oakland is still in play. His wife doesn't want to leave the West Coast. And Harbaugh hates recruiting. Oh, and what are you drinking? This has been your "Things that are played out thread", brought to you by the department of redundancy department.

Is this sarcasm? It's posted further up in the thread: NBC.
January 9th, 2016 at 11:34 AM ^
I'm a recruiting nut too but have backed off after what I saw this fall, especially Rudock.
Harbaugh could turn me into a 4 star fellas.
