I don't think so
There was another survey but I think it was completely different. This one is new to me, at least.
Twin Cities
oh yep you're right. my bad.

Jerseys
The overwhelming support of the alternate jerseys is interesting. GAME. BRANDON.

Similarly with Hoke's no visit policy.
Do you like Hoke's no-visit policy?
Yes --14
No -- 3
In between -- 5
Point, Hoke.
I have no opinion on Hoke's
I have no opinion on Hoke's no-visit policy, but isn't this survey a little biased? Presumably the majority of people who don't like his no-visit policy decided not to come to Michigan -- thus their answer wasn't based on this result.
Although it would never happen, I'd be a lot more interested to see a survey of the top-100 targets (not commits) that Michigan was in on and see how they felt about the no-visit policy (and uniformz, etc). Might be interesting to see what factors steer kids away from Michigan too.
Fred J!
Tie with Mattison for favoite non-Hoke recruiter! He does remind of Mattison only faster and with a cool mustache.
Because I'm old and grouchy
I like Heklinski - only one vote behind
Hopefully that bodes well for a great wide reciever or two this recruiting cycle

Per Fred Jackson, Greg
Per Fred Jackson, Greg Mattison has the coaching ability of Vince Lombardi and the charisma of Fred Jackson. Sounds like we have a good one!

Washington being on there
Washington being on there really surprises me. Also, nobody mentioned the Spartans.

like polling the jury after the verdict
important points:
sell the coaches/academics/family atmosphere
recruit the player and parents then the coach
hire nick saban
do we know how much post recruiting research the universities do both with their commits and their misses?
i want to poll every fast receiver over 6 feet tall that turned michigan down

Where they thought they'd end up at the beginning
The fact that only 1 player (presumably shane) thought he'd end up at Michigan at the beginning of their process just goes to show how deep a hole our couple year stretch put us in terms of recruiting. It is also a testament to how great our staff is at selling themselves and our program.
I do it for my love of the Streets
3 year stretch
at least 3 years
LC was mailing it in at end in addition to the unmitigated ineptitude of RR.

Who Do You Want To Play?
"Ohio State, every game, every Saturday."
Who do you think said that?
I gotta believe that was Morris too.

I'm curious if this is done
I'm curious if this is done for other schools, and how Brady and co. stack up on other recruits going to other schools.

I like this
I'm happy that the Wolverines got six players who thought they were going to Ohio and two who thought they were going to MSU. Also, the six players who were the most impressed with Fred Jackson have made it obvious why he has been kept on the staff through the coaching changes.
Most of all, though, I want to know which player wants to play Ohio 12 times a year. The team could use about 84 more of him.

Survey results are anonymous but telling
I'm guessing both UVA references are for Green. Seems like he thought he'd go there at first and they still really tried to get him late (despite not making his top 3)
I suppose Poggi may also make sense (geographically) but I'd bet it's talking about Green
Great post,
Love the post and info!!! Very interesting information......always wondered about what goes on behind the scenes!!!
Rudy was off sides
Also, interesting note on Montgomery
I thought he was known as a dynamite recruiter but only one recruit mentioned him in the impressive recruiter category
He is the primary recruiter
He is the primary recruiter for all of the guys currently in the 2014 class
