Updated odds: Oregon 25%/Florida $25/UM 25%/ MSU 25%
I see what you did there. Nice.
January 21st, 2011 at 10:57 AM ^
I live in TC and feel confident Fisher will be Blue. If you grow up a Michigan fan and have a Michigan offer you're not going to Msu. If he travels to Oregon or Florida I'm banking that he's taking free trips as an 18 year old. Keep the faith.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:07 AM ^
That's what everyone thought about Zettel and he isn't too far from TC
January 21st, 2011 at 11:32 AM ^
I think it's different to go out of state than to go to a instate rival of the school you've been a fan of for your whole life.
Just my two cents...
January 21st, 2011 at 11:56 AM ^
had some ambivalence about Michigan all a long. I remember reading in one of his first interviews that Michigan was his leader/favorites but, he listed PSU as one of his favorites. He said he wanted to visit PSU and he had not even gotten an offer. So, in retropsect PSU was there all along possibly even with Michigan but, he had no offer and had never visited the school. I suppose the decision wether it was a SNAFU or not no opinion on my part one way or the other looked kind of funky and disorganized to him. He had no relationship to the coaches what so ever but had establish relationships with PSU and as stated before had PSU as one of his favorites.

Very nice but its the SEC they pay way more than that. Might want to add a zero and a "K"

Updated Updated Odds: Oregon 25%/Florida $25/UM 25%/ MSU 25%/Auburn $180,000/OSU free tattoos/Alabama 25% to be medical redshirted if he doesn't develop enough in 2 years/LSU Let 'er rip

You forgot the free cars . . . err, I mean test drives.
January 21st, 2011 at 10:54 AM ^
How can Sparty be an underdog when your odds are all even?
thanks for the info
January 21st, 2011 at 10:57 AM ^
Yeah, isn't 25% at MSU a B+?
January 21st, 2011 at 11:02 AM ^
"Let's play the role of the underdog while at the same time think we're great!" Oh, please stop. And by the way, closing your eyes really hard does not make you invisible.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:06 AM ^
We are the underdog, because in my previous ratings....don't you follow all of my posts :-).....MSU had only a 15% chance.
We are making a charge down the homestrech.

I guess the going rate for OL is a lot less than the Cam Newton's of the world. Will that even be enough to cover his bus fare home?
January 21st, 2011 at 11:04 AM ^
Awesomely descriptive thread title.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:13 AM ^
And yet you still clicked on it....
Heck, I even click on the dupes. I guess I can't resist the fireworks.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:25 AM ^
Here I am, thinking Jeff FIsher is going to be the DB coach
January 21st, 2011 at 12:07 PM ^
First Fisher that popped into my head was Steve. Thought he must be up to something questionable.
January 21st, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
Steve has himself a basketball team out in San Diego!
GO BLUE

This is not very informative.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:13 AM ^
Nothing about this thread is particularly informative.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:29 AM ^
I think the title of this thread is the most informative.
Seriously though, doesn't anyone read the FAQ?

when i read your title i thought you were going to talk about Steve Fisher's success at SDSU - a little more detail when starting a thread would be nice
January 21st, 2011 at 11:28 AM ^
After he has either his in-home with the new staff, or he comes down to AA (he said he would do one or the other before signing day) he will remember why he committed to Michigan in the first place. After he meets Brady "catchphrase" Hoke and talks with the rest of the Brady Bunch, he'll realize the passion and talent of this coaching staff as well as the fact that Michigan is still Michigan.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:30 AM ^
I also used to live in TC and know Fisher and he is a Michigan man. I agree that he is probably just taking the opportunity to visit oregon and florida because he can. I would if i were him. He is just keeping his options open and weighing everything out. I truly believe that if he stays in Michigan for college, he wont be going to MSU.
January 21st, 2011 at 11:36 AM ^
Does 96.1 still broadcast from high atop the Fisher Building?
January 21st, 2011 at 11:48 AM ^
unusual. The kid is just saying hey you need to show me that you want me in this class. Your staff needs to re recruit me and I need to get to know you the head coach and my posistion coach. It's very commonly employed tactic that kids use to make sure they are not wanted/needed as well as establishing a new relationship. He's probably still Michigans to lose IMHO
January 21st, 2011 at 12:02 PM ^
You rang?
January 21st, 2011 at 12:14 PM ^
I thought Fisher Price was about to unveil a new product.....sadly when I clicked on the post all I found was useless analysis. :'(

Required material for MSU's Ratios 403 class:(recommended for econ 315 also)
January 21st, 2011 at 12:23 PM ^
Good luck with the weekend visits and get us some (more) talent. GO BLUE!!!!
January 21st, 2011 at 12:30 PM ^
This is the first time, with rare exceptions, MSU hasn't had all the positive press in football since Carr retired. The Hoke thing and the way he is moving the chess pieces has rendered MSU mostly forgotten by non-Lansing MSM. For right now anyways. It feels good even if it doesn't mean anything tangible.
It is a shrewd move by Dantonio to stay after Fisher even if his odds are slim. If he gets him, he gets a great player. If he doesn't, but perception is that he nearly grabbed a solid Michigan guy after Hoke took over, he reasserts the initiative and looks more the aggressor. Remember, "owning" Michigan has been his hope card for State fan. As much as I dislike the guy, I admire how he has kept us back on our heels for most of his time running that program.
He has a cooperative media and he projects a great image for his fanbase. He has nothing to lose by keeping the pressure on with this guy.
Hope Fisher goes Blue because he is well regarded. We need his size.
January 22nd, 2011 at 1:13 PM ^
...that had nothing to do with Hoke or U of M: Lawrence Thomas, the kid that MSU had been staking its whole idea of "We are Dominating In-State Recruiting" just lost his 5th star on Rivals. That decision drops him down to the same ranking as Justice Hayes and Brennan Beyer, and considering that the rest of MSU's recruiting class outside of Thomas is actually worse than ours (albeit larger), this doesn't look as good for "MSU's Hammerlock recruiting".
January 22nd, 2011 at 1:25 PM ^
But they will still say it's a recruiting class given to them by God so it doesn't really matter either way.
