Hello: Rivals top 25
well Michigan has cracked the Rivals top 25 (They are #24) with the addition of Rawls. Many things could happen come NSD after the dust settles - but I think it's pretty impressive to improve the recruiting class that much in just a couple of weeks. I believe when BH took over, they were ranked at around 40... Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Go Blue!

Yeah, we are that awesome.

#19 when its all said and done.

This calls for an imaginative pos-bang where the banging is really just virtual reality.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:43 PM ^
Wait, does this mean that I've been missing out on real life pos-banging this whole time?!
Sometimes living in Texas can be a real downer...

The Malware STD put an end to the real life pos-banging. It has rendered us infertile and shooting blanks, but the thrill is still there.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
I was hoping that when the site returned to normal that the points I have accrued during this time would be awarded to me.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
Naw. There's much more honour in crawling out of the depths of Bolivia. Well done.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
I'm sure either Brian, formerlyanonymous, or Misopogon have a notepad tallying down all the MGoPoints that we are all owed and will add them to our total after we are healthy to once again pos-bang with meaning.
February 1st, 2011 at 8:07 PM ^
Well its about damn time! Muppets anyone? Well, hell with the muppets and on to the posbang!
February 1st, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
Pos-banging with out the points is like jacking off left handed.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
I am left-handed.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
Once thought to mean you were possessed by the devil, now it just means you are one lucky SOB.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
Yeah well I'm ambidextrous, so beat that.
February 1st, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
"Yeah well I'm ambidextrous, so beat that."
Literally.

I can confirm BlueintheFace is left handed and it feels sooooooooo gooooooooood!
February 1st, 2011 at 6:55 PM ^
Its unfortunate that I laughed at that.
February 1st, 2011 at 7:14 PM ^
I am also left-handed.
February 1st, 2011 at 8:10 PM ^
In a frenzy after the Purdue Win I accidentially posbanged my own comment. I felt a little dirty afterwards but it was an accident so no harm no foul right!
February 1st, 2011 at 4:43 PM ^
Did someone say POS BANG???
February 1st, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
Cool. Although, these rankings are virtually meaningless but still cool nonetheless. Hoke is doing a marvelous job.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
I don't know if you have been paying attention, but they are very much not meaningless. If you finish highly ranked recruiting wise, you raise your chances at being successful quite a bit.
February 1st, 2011 at 5:12 PM ^
Carr's last couple of classes would like to have a word with you.
February 1st, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
This does nothing to disprove that statement.
February 1st, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
I buy this when talking about the top 5-10 classes who are supported by ten or more 5 and 4 star players. But once you start getting into the classes with only a handful of 4 star players, the order of ranking is pretty meaningless. There's way too much unknown about the recruits to definitively say that one class is better than others.
February 1st, 2011 at 6:22 PM ^
Stars are meaningless. Rankings mean nothing. Georgia, FSU, Miami and Tennessee usually do great in recruiting but have sucked lately. (With the exception of FSU this past season)
February 1st, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
Wanna be my wingman at the bar? I'll take the consensus 9 and you can have her 5 and 4 rated friends.
February 1st, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
We had Top 5 ranked classes in both 2003 and 2004.
Don't you think there was some correlation with that and us having such a good season in 2006?
February 1st, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
Solid job by Hoke to finish the class. Solid job by RR to begin it.
That said, we have a lot of work to do to get back to consistent top 10 finishes in recruiting rankings. Hopefully Hoke can get us there. Go Blue!
February 1st, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
I just noticed this since Rivals has all of the recruit's pictures lined up, but we don't have any current verbal commits with dreds.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
No worries. Part is the new S&C program is growing dreads.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
Coach Hoke had an interview on 107.3 WBBL out of Grand Rapids I believe. I don't have the ability to make a thread about this, so if somebody wishes to do so with it, then by all means.
Here is the link

Talks recruiting, the storm, 2012 schedule, etc.. Real good listen
February 1st, 2011 at 5:03 PM ^
Thanks for the link. B&G usually conduct decent interviews but I can't stand that puker Bakita. All it takes to get a show on WBBL is ask, "what is your favorite sports number?" or "What is your favorite color on the WNBA basketball?" and take calls on it for several hours with no analysis, opinion or insight. Brilliant!
February 1st, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
No problem
February 1st, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
is thinking about what Hoke and Mattison will be able to do with a full year. If they were able to scrounge together a #24 recruiting class in three weeks, they should be able to do wonders with a full year. Very exciting.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
about next years class, when Hoke and his staff have a whole year to recruit kids....top 10 here we come!!!
February 1st, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
Hoke just keeps doing work....NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!!! GO BLUE!!!!
February 1st, 2011 at 5:19 PM ^
You've only been here two weeks.
February 1st, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
First Lupe's new song dropped at midnight then Rawls committed publicly. Hope the momentum continues rolling!

Who neg's a pun. Honestly?
February 1st, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
Did Lupe release a new album or just a single? pleezkthnx.
February 1st, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
Album in March
I'd post it but it might start a political talk and thats a no-no
February 1st, 2011 at 5:16 PM ^
Lasers is going to be the best hip-hop album of the year. Without a doubt. "Words I never said" is one of the best songs I have heard in a long ass time. Good shit!
February 1st, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
In such a short period of time. I still have my fingers crossed that we pull off an unexpected last minute steal.
February 1st, 2011 at 5:03 PM ^
26 pos-bangs! Can I bang myself?
Edit: yes I can and it felt real good.
February 1st, 2011 at 5:04 PM ^
Success!
February 1st, 2011 at 5:15 PM ^
Excellent work. Lets keep this rolling. Being in the top 20 will be excellent by the end of signing day.
