Top 2 guys in the state, 3 of 4, 4 of 6, 7 of 11, and 8 of the top 13. I think we're doing ok in the state.

It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
this meme
Is really getting tired and old. People on this board are obsessing as much with Dantonio and his "national recruiting" comment as Sparty obsesses about us. I remember a time (when I was in school in the latter half of the 1990s) when we didn't even consider sparty anything more than an annoyance. Sure, they existed, their fans were annoying and trashy, and their obssesion with us was kind of funny, but they were largely irrelevant to us.
Order has been restored within the state of Michigan. We beat them, the recruiting / talent bounce that Sparty was gifted during the RR years should be fully expunged within a year, and their recruiting is returning to where it has always been (and it will continue to deteriorate after another 6 win season and loss to Michigan). Sparty is irrelevant, so let's stop obsessing over "mork" and his national, intergalactic, recruiting.
/end rant
Are you saying
Dantonio isn't recruiting nationally and he...made it all up?

actually
He was the victim of a cruel internet hoax / scam, of which he is embarassed, but that's besides the point.
Imagine the look
on his face when his imaginary recruits don't show up for fall camp.

score a touchdown against them before we cast them back to irrelevance, OK?

Eh
We won the game. Defensive wins are as good as offensive wins. And, while our trajectory is going straight up (yes, I know that we had less wins this year than last, but as an overall program, including talent levels, recruiting, stability, perception, we are on the rise), while they had their little turn at being one of the better B10 teams, and that is clearly over as their trajectory is straight down.

Maybe we should win a couple more games in a row against MSU before we pronounce that order has been restored.

MSU recruiting
No, state gets the best players from the horse head nebula. They don't need to take the best from Michigan.

there's a pretty big dropoff after 5, making it all the better that we got 3 of the top 5.

I'm curious about Poet
I'm curious about Poet Thomas. At least at one time the kid had a Florida offer. Now he's the #32 player in the state, buried deep in MAC-land.
The kid is huge, but he
The kid is huge, but he stands up straight and he's very soft. He might be able to play offensive tackle for someone, but he's just not very aggressive.
WR
Between Jones and York, we have some big, athletic receivers coming in. Also, if several of our other DB prospects work out, I could see Lewis switching to that position, as well. That would give us three good to very good prospects at the position.
While I agree with many that it would have been nice to get a Treadwell type, add Morris and Smith (a 4* RB) to this list, and we seem to be doing just fine with higher-rated skill position players, given where we are as a rebuilding offense.
As to the true "blue chip" receivers and RBs out there, I think that once future prospects take note of the style of offense that we run, more will want to come here. Remember that for the past three years (basically, since these kids were in 9th grade) we ran an offense that laegely featured Denard's legs with very little contribution from other skill players, and for the 2 years before that (when those kids were in 7th and 8th grades), our program was essentially a tire fire. The offense that Borges / Hoke want to run, which features the RB and downfield receivers heavily, will attract more of these top guys once it is established.
Nice summary
Very encouraging to see so much maize and blue on that list.
About Khalid HIll:
Similar in size to U-M receiver Devin Funchess
Hill listed at 6'2". Funchess has 2-3" on him, plus (it appears) more wingspan. I don't think Hill will be Funchess 2.0, but a different brand of TE.
Haha
Haha that's the first thing in the article that leapt out to me.
Intensity is a lot of guys that run fast.
Off Topic
I'm happy our boys our high on the blue chip list. I'm a big Bears fan and I know there are a lot of them on MGoBlog. Marc Trestman was just hired as the 14th coach of the NFL's founding franchise. I would start a topic if I could, but wish someone would. I really like what I heard from him in the press conference, and now what I'm hearing from him on 670 The Score. Welcome Marc, I look forward to a successful future. Da Bears!
I'll give you the points to write up a post...
for the rest of today. Not a whole lot of news other than Te'o and a bit of scouting, so what the hell, right? Click "create content" on the top left of the page: you want a forum topic with a good title.
If you'll take a bit of advice, I'd do a summary of everything he's said (like you said you wanted) and then frame the rest of the thread in a way to get general Bears discussion going. There are definitely Bears fans around, but the majority of the board seems to follow the Lions more closely than anyone else, and more replies usually mean more fun.
Go Blue!
Thank you justingoblue
I've been busy and just saw your reply and email. Thank you again. I wont let you down.
Don't worry about it.
You did well. Now get to posting so you can do it on your own when you find something worthwhile to post!
Go Blue!
I'm still wondering how the best open job in the NFL
Ended up with the guy who's been in the CFL for years.
Still, you're not getting Syracuse's .500 coach.

Pretty cool to me that ALL eight of our players committed from the state of Michigan are on this list.

Mark, I'm laughing at the superior recruiter.

Dantonio is too busy recruiting nationally. Wide Receiver U!
