Defensive recruit wanted ...
Yes, it has been a challenging week. The D is in question and needs experience and more talent. What recruits eyes are going to light up when Michigan comes calling? A commit soon could put this week behind us. The O is going to be a juggernaut. I don't think for a minute a Frosh is going to come in next year and turn this D around. However, a select group could break through and add needed depth. Who will it be?
My first choice is Zettel.
No. 2. D. Grant
Go Blue !!!

Walls. Avery Walls

He's putting his recruiting on the backburner for a while, I wouldn't expect a commitment from him any time soon
November 2nd, 2010 at 5:53 PM ^
Zettel is definitely important, but I like Walls or Crawford. And I think there is a better chance of us landing either Karlos Williams or Clinton-Dix than D. Grant.

Me too. I would love to have them all. I just wanted to convey that I thought we do not have any chance with Grant, considering his ties with MSU and love of OSU.

The fact that Zettel hasn't committed yet scares me a little. I guess anytime someone says they are a big fan of a school, and get an offer from them, but don't committ anytime soon it makes me curious. But then again, I've never been recruited for anything in my life and I'm a very easy guy so that may just be me.

Some whom at least resembles a Def Corrd
November 2nd, 2010 at 5:57 PM ^
Clinton-Dix would be the guy.
November 2nd, 2010 at 5:58 PM ^
Followed closely by Tim Jernigan.

Say goodbye to all your secondary problems. Well not all of them, but pretty close......
November 2nd, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
Just do what I did.. rely on internet recruiting sites and sign their 5 star athletes. 80% of the time, it works every time.
Signed,

Byron Moore or Deanthony Thomas

I think Kenny Wilkins is going to be a pretty damn good player for us within the next couple of years.
November 2nd, 2010 at 6:43 PM ^
I heard he passed the eye ball test but what other, if any, evidence are you basing that on?
November 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 PM ^
Combination of size and athleticism. In his videos, it seems like he is still somewhat raw, but has very good instincts. Nose for he ball, etc.
November 2nd, 2010 at 6:42 PM ^
He exists right?
November 2nd, 2010 at 6:45 PM ^
The best bet for an immediate impact defensive player would be a juco like Byron Moore who comes in with 4 star status and college experience.
November 2nd, 2010 at 6:59 PM ^
Hopefully Kinard also qualifies and is more man than boy.
November 2nd, 2010 at 9:21 PM ^
And pray every night before you go to bed that he goes Blue but he is not the most important defensive recruit. Best case scenario he backs up Van Bergen or Black which is nice and promising down the road but impact on defense, immediately, is what we need. A ball-hawking safety (take your pick) is most important. Sure a shutdown corner would be fantastic too but unless Woodson's clone is coming through the door, a huge impact at corner is unlikely. Although they are not developed yet, we are building nice depth at corner and return Woolfolk and Floyd next year which should be solid while we are still lacking that Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu type safety. The last great safety I remember having is Marcus Ray and that was a while back. Great safeties can make a lot of other guys look and play better while covering large parts of the field, not just the LOS or one side of the field. I know Ha Ha is the highest ranked of the safeties but I say go hard after whichever one can really run and cover a lot of ground.

does anybody here think Haha is lil twist when he grows up. They both got frohawks!!

my ankle is still in one piece. What in the world is going on!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Good defensive recruits don't want to come here. Good defensive recruits break easily here... =(
