Funny Shane Morris tweet about recent Ohio recruiting trend

In response to Ohio's recent recruiting trend in offering all Michigan target's, Shane Morris has an idea...

Okay so I say that Michigan finds some scrub kids that want to go to Ohio and we offer them! So Ohio will offer them then they will commit.

 

 

 

Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?

I deserved to be neg-ged.  The RR comment was intended to be a joke on TPryor, but I can see how it may be interpreted as a dig on Team 132.  My sincere apologies.

Ultimately, in all seriousness, Michigan sells itself.  Recruits who stay will be champions.

I've read this same thing before, but doesn't UM sometimes pass on a guy due to academics and other schools go on to recruit sign him?  That, to me, looks like using somewhat higher standards, even though the baseline GPA/SAT used might be the same as other schools.

I believe that was Devin Gardner. So yeah we have pretty much the most likeable group of QBs/QB recruits ever.

But I love this team.  The Seniors went through something no other senior class at Michigan has gone through in 40 years, if ever.  And we've got respectable and respectful kids, that are 100% blue. 

 

Can't remember another team I liked this much.

I would much rather have a team of men who love their school and what it stands for rather than a bunch of kids who want to play so that they have a chance to go professional. That's not what college football is about, in my opinion. It's about passion, pride, and a reverence to tradition, on top of winning.

If a 5-star kid grew up loving michigan and wants to go here or feels a special bond to the school for whatever reason, then we can all rejoice. But we should rejoice even if it's a 3-star kid or a 2-star kid. Stars don't matter when you've got heart as Mo's teams showed during the 90s (Biakabatuka!!!). 

Schools only become perennial powers when there's something more to play for than just the game next saturday. For example, this season was about the seniors and overcoming all the bullshit they've had to put up with for the last 3 years. But the underclassmen also played their heart out for the seniors this season and with that comes the ideal of Michigan and what it means to wear the Maize and Blue.

Shane understands this to some degree (he won't know until he walks out onto the field vs. App. State). He knows that Ohio can only build a team as good as its parts (Dunn, Pittman, Spence), but to build a team is something that takes heart and pride and is something that our 2012 class has more than enough of (Darboh, Funch, Magnuson).

I love the passion and maybe you can make it into a Disney movie I'll pretend I got something stuck in my eye when my wife asks if I'm crying, but the reality is you better have some athletes or USC, OSU, Alabama  and the rest will have there 5 star NFL players take your fire breathing team guys and beat them to death.      You have to have both to be successful.  

Bo, Mo, Lloyd, Rich, Brady they all recruited great kids that loved Michigan, but only when we had a dip in talent and experience did we start losing.

Not gonna start a new thread about this, but that Logan kid from a few days back (seemed like a great kid) tweeted tonight about Meyer extending him an offer. He seemed a little too excited. I hope he goes blue.

Mike Martin told me he loves me. My life is quite possibly complete.

I'm not going to give away what I read from behind a paywall, but I can probably say this with relative safety - he called Urban Meyer.  The article confirms that Logan Tuley-Tillman has always wanted to be a Buckeye.  So I don't think this is a case of Urban stealing anything.  However, is it convienent that Urban offered him shortly after we did?  It most certainly is...
