Rittenberg Article/Rich Rod Interview

This is a good read: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/bigten/0-2-653/Winter-of-discontent-awaits-Ro...

This sounds like he may have a HUGE batch of snake oil brewing:

"I'm sure the athleticism is a focal point of your recruiting. How important are those needs, and at the same time, how important is it that you don't have another situation where you have a completely new group that hasn't played?

RR: Right now, there's probably going to be more opportunities for young guys to play coming in our program than maybe in years past, simply because of transition and because of who was graduating last year and who is graduating this year. Three, four years from now, maybe it won't be the case, but right now, there's a lot of opportunities, for all the freshmen we're playing this year, and next year's class, there may be some more opportunities."

just RR's pitch to recruits as to why they should come to Michigan, as opposed to other schools. They can play early and in 3-4 years be on a "damn good football team"!

"They're stuck with that quarterback (sophomore Braxton Miller) for the next two or three years, that's fine with me. He throws worse than (Tim) Tebow. - Steve Everitt

That is probably a better pitch than "our helmet's got wings!" Though that works for a lot of recruits anyways.
