Ahmir Mitchell impressive @ osu FNL
Some nice grabs by Mitchell last night at Columbus. Says on Twitter that he will not commit on this visit.

This is a nice tape. The DBs could have been flagged for about 8 pass interference calls.
Blue including Ace's. I think that's a good sign. Well in this case anyway.
It sounded like osu has both Corley and Victor higher on their boards, and that they were not likely to accept a commitment from Mitchell at this point...which opens the doors for the good guys

Part of his down fall at Florida was taking the highest rated kids to have a good recruiting ranking instead of the players that fit his system.
And I doubt it very highly.
As much as I dislike urbz the person like most people on this blog, I am not sure what "downfall" you are talking about at Florida? Man won 2 NC - ok, 1 was with Zook's players, but the other was with his and the year after that he went 13-1 and a #3 ranking; yes he did go 8-5 after that and had his "health issues", but we would love to have his type on downfall.
Just homers being homers.
Thank you Mr. Webster.

Well Urban has just about said that himself. They were great players, but they didnt fit the culture of his program. You had entitled freshman boycotting practice and criminals on the team. Yea they were good at football but there was no control in the locker room.

Yes he tweeted: To end all speculation I will not be committing on my visits.
He's with his mother. He meant he will not be committing this weekend as some were speculating. He was expected at the BBQ but I don't know if he's expected back or if this trip replaced it.
Sorry, but no recruit is going to make or break Michigan on his own. Harbaugh is going to "get " enough of the kids he needs: tough, athletic kids who want to play for Michigan.

Is FNL an Urban thing? Or did OSU have it before him. That looks like a ton of people if that amount of players were just hanging around one drill.
p.s. as I saw the clips I scrolled over onto the sidebar and here is an interesting one on somebody we barely have heard about. Crystal balls had this as a FSU v Bama battle.
Wolverines Soar Into Keyshawn Young's Top Two
http://www.scout.com/college/football/recruiting/story/1566581-wolverin…
In just a month, Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines have gained ground and reserved a spot in Keyshawn Young's top two, joining the Alabama Crimson Tide out of the SEC. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound wide receiver out of Miami scooped up a Michigan offer late last month, and says both schools are neck and neck sailing into his senior campaign.
"As of right now, (Alabama is) on top and it's between them and Michigan," Young said. "Official (visits) will be when the season starts and I'm still planning that out. I can't wait to visit both"
"Michigan just shows me so much love," Young said. "I think coach Harbaugh is going to turn that team around and be playing for a championship. He's a very nice guy and I love talking to him. He's coming hard at me."
Not really.
Rivals ranked him as a 4-star and the #151 overall player in the 2009 class.
Obviously a 4* athlete, but he was a HS GB who was going to have to change positions. He didn't even become a starter here until his 4th season and wasn't a star until he was a 5th year SR. Good thing RR didn't burn his RS for special teams.
I agree. By my count, there are 55 four-star WRs in this year's 247 composite rankings and 50 of them are at least 6 feet tall. The only way I ever really see recruiting sites evaluated is by how well their rankings predicted NFL draft status. In terms of college productivity, I'd guess that they tend to overrate kids with NFL bodies who might take a long time to develop as players and underrate kids likely to be productive in college but unappealing to the NFL.
Yeah, that's a crazy offer list for a 3* kid. I'm wondering if he was behind some kids on his HS team, as Miami Senior HS seems like a decent football factory.
I would gladly take Pie Young, although he gets a lot of penalties for taunting on his way into the endzone.
That didn't look like elite competition, but the TD pass was sweet. Of course, I am always impressed more by lefties than right-handed people! How'd he do that?
Actually, it's pretty elite competition in Miami, FL.

always thought it was an ohio $tate thing.. could be wrong
It's not. They were doing Friday Night Lights at least since Denard Robinson was being recruited by Florida, because I remember reading about him attending.
It's an Urban Meyer thing.
the only thing keeping me going on this trip though is that he brought his mom with him.
We were considered to be on the outside looking in until quite recently.
Hoke's staff was recruiting him as a safety. I think as soon as Harbaugh's staff started recruiting him as a wide receiver, he started to take a serious look at Michigan. We've always been in his top group, and especially since this spring when Harbaugh got his feet under him.
