I don't recall him ever being a realistic option
The coaches were going hard after him and Michigan was a consideration, but it's not like Oklahoma pulled an upset on us or anything.
We've got no food. We got no jobs. Our pets HEADS ARE FALLIN' OFF!
A place where beer flows like wine
+ 1 internets for making me laugh!!!
Not surprising a 4* kid from KS would go to Oklahoma. Good program, close to home so family can visit and watch him play. I think we'll be fine with the guys we have at DE this class!
Happy trails
I feel bad for his father.
Not a huge blow. Lots of options at the Flex Anchor/3T spot and Hicks is not the most talented among those options (and was going to be a tough pull).
Who is currently on that list, especially among realistic options? Maybe that kid who is currently committed to Purdue?
Karlaftis, yeah, He’s chief among them for sure. I think Ruke Orhororho (probably butchered that) is a guy who could play either Anchor or 3T and maybe even End. I think David Ojabo is very raw (like Ruke) but could be in that mold. Both of those two are realistic options and I think have a higher ceiling than Hicks. There’s probably one or two others as well.
Orhororho kind of reminds of me of this:
You win some, you lose some.
"I heard that my whole life"
Good luck to him, but I apparently don't follow recruiting well enough because I didn't even know if he was being pursued by Michigan.
If Harbaugh can't even recruit Kansas anymore, what are we even paying him for?!
To advertise for khakis.
Was he the kid with the dad who was more excited about visiting Michigan than he was? Not that it was a knock against the kid, just his dad loves Michigan!
Winning is much more important right now than all these recruiting battles. We need to make a big splash on the field with a few upsets and get back into the college football playoff discussion. Recruits will come when we are relevant again
If you had told me in year 4 of Harbaugh we wouldn't be getting every single player we recruit to commit to Michigan I would have laughed at you. We've put several players in the NFL at this postion and have spent millions on facilities. This is highly concerning, something is wrong with the program and/or the coaching staff.
Did I do it right Maizen/Bluey?
not enough whining, but not a bad effort
I'd give it a B
I held back a bit. Never go full Maizen.
It's cool we'll just take like half of the other good DEs in the class.
