And especially don't tweet negatively about Borges at our guys. They liked him or they wouldn't have committed.

Helps a lot, but I think it would still be tough to pull him from Saban's grasp.

Meh...but BETTER THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY!

"Just got a text from Bama QB commit Ricky Town. Sounds like he's solid with Alabama, excited to meet the new OC there." We can all calm down a bit...

I know it's just a pipe dream, but I'd rather have Hand or Campbell than Town. We already have Morris and Speight. Need MOAR playmakers on the D-line and WR.
Probably won't have any impact, but one can dream...
Good hire, not just for the team going forward, but to put some optimism into the UM players, coaches, and fans to start 2014 and during the long off-season. I'd rather dream of this situation for the next 8 months than the lump of coal that was our situation 24 hours ago.

The odds of UM getting any Bama commits are barely above 0. There's not even a month left before signing day. Other than Hand, have any of the Bama recruits visited Ann Arbor or had much contact with Hoke or any of the other staff besides Nuss?
Guys aren't just going to drop Bama and turn their eyes toward UM. If anything of them might have doubts about Bama with Nuss leaving, they'd more then likely start looking at the other schools that were at the top of their list.

The one recruit that maybe the hiring of Nuss has an affect on could be the running back from MN. The running game was garbage at UM the last 2 years and now Hoke brings in a guy who was the OC for one of the best rushing attacks in the country the last 3 years.

...if the offer is still on the table.
January 9th, 2014 at 12:18 AM ^
Probabkly pretty low but I am sure Michigan will find their own guy with Doug.
January 9th, 2014 at 12:23 AM ^
Besides there are plenty of uncommitted players. I wonder who we'll go after now. It seemed like Borges was just now narrowing his list.
January 9th, 2014 at 12:43 AM ^
The M Block talked to a bunch of 2015 QBs and it sounds like Nuss had a great relationship with Kyle Kearns. Will be interesting to see who jumps to the top of the list now. I know a lot of people on here wouldn't mind seeing Kearns be the guy. We'll also have to wait and see what happens with that strange Sills offer.

Woah, Nellie. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. 'Bama is still 'Bama. Michigan isn't going to pirate their recruits away left and right, if they get any of Nussmeier's connections at all.
January 9th, 2014 at 6:25 AM ^
I'd say chances are about the same as Speight defecting because Borges is gone.
