Vlad Emilien on family values

Cullen Christian and Tony Grimes would be a very nice haul for Michigan at corner. And it sounds as though playing time is a big factor, so even if Florida offers, that is something that they don't have in the secondary.

Thanks for the post.

Good find. Other schools, especially OSU, are going to regret passing on Emilien after he got injured. Emilien did quite well in spring practices and should get significant PT this season. I believe Emilien said he'll be 100% healed by the time fall camp rolls around (still was hindered a little during spring practices). Still need 2 CBs in this class, so let's land Grimes and Christian.

Thats something we needed to hear with regards to family values.

Thanks for the article.

are those that can't hack the work and/or refuse to buy into the program. Borin = fat and lazy and upset his little bro' didn't get an offer. Wermers sounds like he realized he was a Carr recruit (who never actually played under Carr)that would not excel (i.e. never start) in Rich Rod's system. I'm happy he saw the writing on the wall and transferred early in his career, but obviously have issues with taking cheap shots on the way out. I don't think we'll be seeing much more of this as Rich Rod brings in his own guys.

I hope with all the talent we have coming in that we can find a "lockdown" CB or 2 that we haven't had since Woodson. No, I am not comparing any of these guys to Charles, since that would be unfair. However, it would be awesome if Vlad, or JT or anyone else can turn into something special where we can put them on the opposing teams best WR and not have to worry about getting burned repeatedly.

Can't wait for the season to start!

as it does to Mark Sanford.

you are correct that a newspaper will never write an article saying that the players love Michigan's family values. Newspapers want those clicks or papers sold and a story bashing Michigan or any other team will get more readers than a feel good piece about how good Rodriquez is doing with recruiting and not catering to his players.

It didn't take long for them to pick up on Wermers leaving.

especially after the mass of stories stating what a terrible person RR is and how he cheats on his wife etc etc etc....I would like for people to once state a source for the BS they spread. RR (through little fault of his own, not saying no fault, just little fault) could use some good publicity like this and it is a shame that more people don't get to see it.
I want to know why people expect a football coach to be a saint? Where did that sentiment come from?? Oh wait, it was that guy who hates people that swear.....Bluefront.

Not sure I'd call what he said a flame. I believe he said it was too much like a business.
Sounds more like he didn't get along with his co-workers.

I wouldn't include Kurt Wermers in the same category as Boren. Boren took directed shots at Michigan and its staff. He knew what he was doing. He may have felt that OSU was a better fit, but he had too much pride to go quietly and I think he was too spoiled to deal with the changes in the coaching style. I'm sure even Tressel was taken aback by what Boren said. (I know I sound harsh on the kid, but I was 18 within the past decade too. Kids can be stupid.)

Maybe Wermers should have been careful with what he said--people will certainly read into his comments as they wish--but he merely seemed to be saying that he just didn't get along with the coaches for one reason or another (not impossible) and it wasn't the right fit.

Obviously this family values comment is pure bullshit. All sorts of recruits last year said they loved how it felt like a family. So any of this lack of family values is just talk, and just trying to smash a program that they didn't necessarily sign up for (as Brian says).

I don't think even half of the people who use the term family values actually know what it means.

If Boren really left because his kid brother wasn't good enough on his own to get a scholarship, that says a lot about his own "family values", which apparently don't include earning it on your own.
