What more do you need to see?
Coach Hoke's recruitment strategy? STR.
Sushi dot come
Is it still around? I still giggle when I think about that name.

The OSU offer was not a commitable one. Boom 11W'd!
Wow, that wasn't what I expected.. We are going to be absolutely loaded at tight end these next handful of years! Perhaps we take some notes from New England's offensive playbook in the coming years in addition to the manball Borges wants. We can has both right?
Congrats Ian!
Also Jeb Blazevich to UGA, he was Ohio's #1 TE prospect, or so they said after Bunting commits to us
One of the very intriguing things about how this class is shaping up thus far is that, among the six recruits for 2014 to date, our largest competitors in terms of schools also offering these players are Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Wisconsin. Things bode well, and a 6'6" TE is not a bad thing to have. Welcome to Michigan, Ian Bunting!
Boo Ya! It's great to have another present participle on the roster in Ian Bunting. Now we need to flip Quin Blanding. Of course, this is all led by the double Channing Stribling.
Actually they're gerunds. Common mistake though.

The present participle and the gerund have the same form, so it's not a mistake. The roots are ultimately verbs from which nouns (gerunds) can be derived. So, the participial forms are more basic because they are still verbal.
Grammar nerd fight!
(I'm a grammar nerd too, and I love the discussion.)
I know. I was just making light. But back when Stribling jumped on the scene this past summer, all the talk was about gerunds, so I'm sticking with it.

That was our "trick play". Won us a Natty.
Wasn't this the guy that some asshole blasted in the comments section of Monday's recruiting note by Brian? Where is that asshole now? Fuckin' guy.
Different recruit, still an asshole though
That was Mark Andrews, and he was blasted by a lot of people (myself included). Mark Andrews says he doesn't want to block, and Ian Bunting made a separate highlight video of blocking.
Just saying, I'm glad we got who we got.
False. He said he "doesn't want to stay on the line and block" and wants to have the ball in his hands.
You're still misinterpreting what he said.
There's Mo Ways to tell that joke
Dantonio...intergallactic recruiting
Buntings offer wasn't committable /11W
Subs
Hoke doesn't recruit
Welcome Ian. Great decision!
No threat, I guess.
Welcome Ian. He must watched the number #1 Jersey video and got inspired. Would that count as a pair?
Aaaaannnddd Daniel Helm just committed to Tennessee according to 247.
Is he Funchess 2.0?
...so he'll be bulking up, if he hasn't already, this summer
Looks like a great red zone target. Love the size

At least ND fans don't stoop to accusing Hoke of cheating in recruiting (like some little brothers we know...):
April 23rd, 2013 at 11:41 PM ^
Hey man, the guys over at trcmb are just exposing the truth cuz, uh, you know...they know a guy that is totally in with all the athletic department guys. Totally true, bro. and hoke is a dirty recruiter that just makes them commit on the spot and promises they will start.
April 23rd, 2013 at 11:34 PM ^
now they are collecting the weapons - very nice!
April 23rd, 2013 at 11:35 PM ^

Manchild isn't a compliment.
I was not expecting Bunting to be today's commit, but this is great news! Welcome Ian!
