Crystal balls pouring in for Rod Moore, 3 star S from OH
Story from Lorenz on 247 https://247sports.com/college/michigan/Article/Michigan-Wolverines-Football-recruiting-is-trending-for-2021-safety-Rod-Moore-Don-Brown-Bob-Shoop-Jim-Harbaugh-247Sports-Crystal-Ball-146987918/
Rod Moore, a 3 star Safety from Clayton, OH at Northmont. He's the #12 ranked player in OH.
Every crystal ball he has has come in today from Sam Webb, Lorenz, Wiltfong and Allen Trieu.
Listed as "warm" on his offer list are Michigan, Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky and Pitt.
He also has an ND offer.
According to 247 he will announce tomorrow.
Wiltfong has Kiner headed to the Bayou Bengals as well. Good news on the Edwards front.
As much as I want to believe that, I don’t think Kiner going to LSU has any impact on where Edwards is leaning. Edwards is Michigan’s top target no matter what, but Michigan was always going to take 2 backs.
Who's Michigan's competition for Edwards?
Mel Tucker.
Mel Tucker coming in and already getting shit done. Sam Webb reporting tonight that UM is moving on from the Buddin recruitment because he's not ready to make a decision. So 8 months before NSD they are moving on from an instate 4 star they have been recruiting for over a year because he's not ready to make a decision. Instead he's going to let MSU or PSU make inroads at a school whose head coach hates Harbaugh. Great job Jim! You know what they say when you make 8 mil a year, just quit on recruiting kids when the going gets tough and find a 3 star whose best offer is Iowa State and take him instead.
This coaching staff is so pitiful I'm surprise I can even put it into words. Lazy ass grifters is what they are.
Half his salary is going to come from your $5 re-ups this season.
And your family hates you.
MSU’s highest rated commit is at 626.....
You need professional help with your OCD and your anger.
He spends lots of time taking knots out of his panties...
Moore can ball. I don't put much stock in "stars," but this dude looks wildly underrated. Also... it's hysterical to me that you manage to find a way to continue to beat the drum of criticism with these straw man arguments.
Ok, you're not off base with all of your points. You have a right to be upset with how the coaches are recruiting, a lot of people are. But Mel Tucker is recruiting at Dantonio levels. To say that he's coming in and getting shit done is just false, and you lose credibility when you say shit like this because it proves you just have a vendetta against Harbaugh and his staff.
Drink bleach, Bryson.
Georgia
Georgia has 4* Lovasea Carroll committed already. If he doesn't come at this point over those others then he doesn't want to for other uncontrollable reasons. Be nice to have though.
Posted earlier today WD. He’s committing at 3pm tomorrow
So what happens when the “we need to recruit OH” crowd mixes with the “we need to recruit only 5 stars” crowd? Stay tuned...
Or, how about we recruit players that other major power 5 teams agree is are really good football players. I don’t care if they are 3 stars or 4 stars, just give me other players that other schools think are good enough to offer.
You also only marry chicks your buddies banged or tried to? This is such weak sauce.
Meh...The recruiting process/industry is creepy enough, no need to for the marriage/ banging chicks metaphors.
The likelihood that a consensus highly rated and /or sought after recruit has a higher success rate on the field is well documented. If Bama, LSU, OSU, UGA, Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma are after the same guy, he’s probably one we should be looking at.
What a horrible argument. As a matter of fact, yes, I would only marry a woman that my close friends and family agreed would be a good woman to marry.
Yeah, but the problem is you’re 47, overweight, balding, unemployed and single they just want you to settle already for any girl that will talk to you.
Harbaugh should be going after the recruiting versions of Kate Upton and Giselle.
What’s crazy is the number 12 guy in Ohio is only a 3 star. Maybe I am mistaken but I thought usually the top 15 in Ohio usually end up in the 4 star range.
Michigan's defense is going to be loaded for years to come. I mean just look at this stellar job by our coaching staff:
Rod Moore 3 star #378 overall
Tyler McLaurin 3 star #404 overall
Jaden McBurrows 3 star #627 overall
TJ Guy 3 star #782 overall
Casey Phinney 3 star NR
Dominick Guidice 3 star NR
I'm fairly certain Colson, Summerville, and Benny are the only top 247 recruits on defense UM has a legit shot at . That's it. Three. At the University of Michigan. People should be fired over this calamity.
Losing a job based on recruiting rankings, before said recruit plays a snap. I mean dude, get a grip.
I'll get a grip when UM isn't 3-17 vs OSU over the next 20 years.
2 decades seems like a long time to be grip less
Two top 500s in 24 hours after all the less heralded ones commit, at this trajectory we will snag some five stars on defense, if you believe in patterns like twenty year spans of a rivalry series.
You know Sean only comes out by the count of 1,2,3*!!!
Glad to see that stimulus check going to good use, Maizen.
Five dollars, zero sense.
There isn't any reason to get upset anymore. The coaching staff has basically given up trying to obtain elete talent and the fans have accepted it as being ok.
But we do reserve the right to bitch when our under the radar recruits can't find a way to beat the 1st round draft picks in Columbus.
Someone told me today to be happy with competing with PSU, Wisconsin, and MSU.
Lloyd Carr was 29-6 vs those three teams. He won 5 big ten titles. He won a national title. He was 20-8 against top 10 teams. And at the time people thought he was underachieving!
The people who keep making excuses for Harbaugh are cult members at this point. It reminds me of the cult that exists in a sphere I will not mention but here's a hint they like wearing red hats.
Michigan's recruiting is pitiful. If people were being honest with themselves they know there isn't a fucking chance in hell UM is beating OSU recruiting like this. Hell they might not even beat teams like Minnesota recruiting like this. UM football is dying before our very eyes and instead of demanding better losers who never went to school here keep making excuses and tell those of us who did to just suck it up and stop trolling. Ridiculous.
Jim tressel was 5-1 against Lloyd. I want Michigan football to be awesome too ( I also went to school in AA twice) but sometimes revisionist history makes us a homer.
I hate to say it but there’s a reason people laugh at umich fans who claim winningest record of all time, we literally post wins over schools for the blind and deaf.
Jantleyaa- I did not go to school in AA. I fucked off in high school. I want Harbaugh to either sac up or gtfo. Hopefully I represented us losers (CPA/4.0 in college) well enough to meet your standards.
Jantleyaa (Maizen, Shawn, etc.)... that was me that said that. I wish it wasn't true that we're not in the same stratosphere as OSU anymore but it is true and there is nothing that you, me or anybody on this board can do to change reality. My advice to you is to not take it so personally. There are more important things in life than how Harbaugh is recruiting.
While I agree with him on principle, you're 1000% on point. Holy hell can that guy beat a dead horse. While I enjoy the wins, I have friends and family losing jobs... life is about a whole hell of a lot more than recruiting.. for any school.
Omg now you went to Michigan??? Whew you can lie better than SATAN himself!!!
The Lloyd Carr led 2006 team beat Ball State 34-26. Only an 8 point win against lowly Ball State. And that wasn’t the first game of the season so you can’t blame first game kinks.
That team went on to...oh yes, lose to Ohio State and lose their bowl game. Lloyd’s second best team, record wise, barely beat Ball State and lost their last two games of the year.
Sounds somewhat similar to all but one of Harbaugh’s seasons so far.
“Those teams” weren’t as good then as they are now. MSU is falling back to their normal levels now. Carr won 5 Big Ten titles, except in 4 of those seasons the team lost 3 games.
Football isn’t the same now as it was 20-30 years ago. I’m really sorry this has to be explained to you. OSU is on another level. Stop comparing 90’s OSU with this machine. You can’t win the Big Ten with 3 losses anymore, and a 8-3 OSU team isn’t walking into the Big House anytime soon. Michigan is no different now than they have been at any point in our post WW2 history. We’re a team who will consistently win 9-10 games. Anything more or less is usually an anomaly. The difference is, the game has changed to a point where that’s no longer good enough to win your conference every other year and be consistently a top 10 team.
JonnyHintz, unfortunately Michigan football isn’t anywhere close today than where it was under Lloyd Carr.
Go look at the NFL talent on those teams. Biggest difference is that year in and year out our starting QB, WR, RB, and #1 WR got drafted. Our talent on offense is significantly less than the Carr teams.
The people who keep making excuses for Harbaugh are cult members at this point. It reminds me of the cult that exists in a sphere I will not mention but here's a hint they like wearing red hats.
jantleyaa - ...since you did not mention it (cough) - sounds to me like you, similar to your cult, just might have a case of ODS. Ohio Derangement Syndrome. LOL
Michigan recruits at the level it always has.
They had the 14th-ranked class in the nation last year, and the year before that #8. Their 2021 class is #11. OSU is doing an amazing job at recruiting and winning football games right now, and I get how every loss makes people angry. But this constant drumbeat that Michigan is forever doomed to mediocrity because of lack of effort, intelligence, etc. is lazy and tiring.
Michigan won one (shared) national title over the past 50+ years. Harbaugh has Michigan winning at a rate higher than their historical average. Whatever halcyon days you think Michigan was historically, they weren't this consummate elite team that churned out championships. So by all means bemoan the current state of UM football but this narrative that this is a comedown from their usual state isn't correct.
Nailed it. It’s hard to take a look in the mirror. Sometimes you still see that 32 waist when you’re rocking 42 Kirkland chinos
Michigan was a lot better in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s than they are today. It's not like they are going 11-1 and losing to Ohio State every year. They almost lost to Army and that has nothing to do with Ohio State's dominance.
The first half of the Bo era Michigan was very good to elite most years. Carr had a good run to end the 90s. They beat OSU more frequently yes, but they were rarely elite teams consistently. Harbaugh has won 76% of his games in a season (10 wins) in 3 of his 5 seasons. Since 1970 (excluding his years), UM had won at that rate in a season 22 times in 45 seasons. That's below 50%. I'm not saying Harbaugh is lighting the world on fire but I'm only pointing out that the "good old days" weren't any better and we're, consistently, a bit worse.
Michigan had the best winning record in the nation over the 70s.
Bo had a couple of mediocre years in the 80s, but really maintained a very high winning percentage in the 80s also.
No they didn't; they had the (AFAIK) the #3 winning percentage for that decade. They had a couple years in that decade where they were elite, but both Alabama and Oklahoma won at a greater rate than UM over that era.
Just take your L and shut the fuck up already.
I know you've got a lot of experience holding them but that doesn't mean the rest of us are wrong.
