For those asking/wondering, Kugler decided not to take his scheduled visit to MUS. He didn't commit to #Michigan while visiting the Spartans

 

That would have been epic though

This is just

unfair.  I almost, almost feel sorry for Sparty.  They are rationalizing that many of our 4 star recruits will not pan out.  Some may not, bit I sure like the percentages and I'm sure Sparty would be doing cartwheels if they had half of our 2013 recruits.

Really?  I'm surprised they would say that.  The only thing I have heard/seen from them is a lot of "damn, would've been nice to have him/them".  

 

I have seen a lot of them arguing the depth charts, which I guess is valid, but haven't seen them flat out saying the kids won't be good.

13 OL in Rivals top 100

13 OL in Rivals top 100.  Michigan has 3, and all 3 are in the top 60... There are 28 linemen in the Rivals top 200.  Michigan has 5.

No other school has more than 1 of the top 28 linemen committed right now; only six of the top 28 linemen have committed to another school (ND, Texas, Florida St, Texas AM, Alabama, and North Carolina have one apiece.)

Only 17 Uncommitted OL prospects left from the Rivals Top 200.  Considering the heavy hitters from each conference:

ACC - Clemson, Florida St, Miami, Va Tech

Big12 - Oklahoma, Texas, (WVU)

B1G - Nebraska, OSU, Penn St, Wisc

Notre Dame

PAC - Cal, Oregon, Stanford, USC, Washington

SEC - Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, (Tex AM)

There are 24 big time schools fighting for the remaining 17.  That's right.  Less than 1 OL left uncommitted per school listed above.  And we all probably believe that Alabama, Florida, Florida St, LSU, ND, Oklahoma, OSU, Texas and USC will end up with multiple.  There's not enough left on the board for each of these elite recruiting teams to snag 3 (spread evenly, each of these teams could end up with 2.2.)  And remember, Michigan has 3 of the top 9 OL; everyone else is left fighting for 2.2 among the top 28.   That is how amazing Michigan's haul of 5 OL in the Rivals top 200 really is.

Can't be true

According to RCMB he is an MSU lock b/c of the OL haul we already have.

Schadenfreude from another

Schadenfreude from another Kugler thread:

I don't give a baker's fuck if I get downvoted into oblivion. This staff, has officially shit the bed. They've missed on 90% of their plan A targets. Patrick Kugler was qouted as saying he was an MSU fan. How the fuck do you continuously get owned by a school you've owned 4 straight years. I don't want to hear about tradition and what they did 100 years ago. No one gives a fuck. This staff flat out can't recruit worth dick. They're unorganized and inept. They scheduled a junior day when the head coach wouldn't even be there. I wouldn't commit either if the HC didn't even extend the courtesy of his full attention.

Sparty tears taste like Sugar.

Don't worry

Cam Dilliard is a lock there. And he is better than everyone Michigan recruited.


Too bad he is going to the SEC and there will be another meltdown for them when that happens.

He needs an offer from them

He needs an offer from them first. There's a reason he hasn't gotten a Michigan or State offer. I know the State coaches feel he has already reached his potential.

Too Giddy For Grammar

Thank you for sharing this!  I love that fan's assessment!  If that is true that their HC could not even attend their junior day, that is pretty sad.  I am so impressed with his candor I won't even give him a hard time about his use of "unorganized" instead of disorganized which would have been a better fit.  No doubt his grief caused a momentary grammatical lapse.

I come here on the weekend because it makes me smile.

If I was an MSU fan, I would wait to read RCMB until Monday.  There's no need to ruin your weekend with news of your teams continued inability to beat Michigan in recruiting.

And then there's this:

"Wow. This is unbelievable I try to refrain from posting in such threads, but this is looking bad. It's like USC recruiting against Little Sisters of the Poor. Hoke is absolutely having his way with us right now. Even when Lloyd was here and we had JLS, we at least got these kids to give us a look. What Hoke is doing to Dantonio on the recruiting trail is absolute murder."

I wonder if that offense

I wonder if that offense would start to look a bit like the Badgers this year ... in many of the earlier games this season, they just ran the ball & the O-line gained them 3-4 yards of space to ratchet forward every down.

Of course I don't want our offense to be pure manball, but that sort of reliability would be an excellent foundation to build off of.  Throw some explosive playmakers into the mix, a little bit of Shane, and now you're cooking with goddamn rocket fuel.

Or did he call Coach Hoke from Dantonio's office to commit (as someone here was hoping earlier)?

Unreal.  To think that we have 5 awesome offensive line recruits in this class and that we were probably the leader for several more top O-line prospects.  I get the feeling that we will have a great offensive line for at least as long as Hoke is here.

I see a tsunami

coming for rb & wideouts (quality wise).  And what defensive studs don't want to play for a team that controls the time of possession?  Defense wins championships, but it's a lot easier when they are not on the field more than half of the game.

We are going to have depth

This bodes well for the health of the OL over the length of the season.  That pro style substitution thing is going to happen here.

Go Blue!

Welcome Patrick.  This is a great pickup.  As a few others have said above, we have heard via sources (commits, sam webb, etc.) that the coaches PLAN to take 5 OL.  What happens with a situation like Pocic, for instance, now?  Do you turn down a commitment from a player like him or do you (as a coach) shift your recruiting numbers a bit.  I would be very interested to hear answers from of the knowledgeable football members (who know far more than me), such as Magnus, etc.

I would guess it depends on

I would guess it depends on what happens with attrition. If numbers open up to where the coaches can address all of their needs and still have room for an elite OL like Pocic or Tunsil (please?), then maybe they take him. This is purely speculation. I don't think that the coaches would take Pocic if it meant Ty Isaacs spot would be taken, but if they have room for everyone they need plus 1, then they do it? Magnus?

Would Pocic want to commit with 5 already committed? I hope the other 4 don't get freaked out and bolt, committing this early gives plenty of time for someone to swoop in.

True enough ... but I have to believe Hoke and staff have that angle understood and work their golden poop magic as part of the process of keeping them committed.

Agreed.  The staff will continue recruiting the kids who commit all they way until signing day.  They will also keep up their relationships with guys like Tunsil, Pocic and McGovern in case one guy does decommit, or we have more attrition or an open slot comes available by February (2013).

I think your point about

I think your point about attrition is probably more important than a lot of us consider initially.  The coaches have much more information (obviously) on the state of each player (who is coming/going, injury, motivation, etc.).  I agree that I think they would first make sure all of their needs were filled (or able to be filled, number-wise), before taking additional spots at any given position.

I think I am still unable to comprehend that perhaps, just maybe, our OL depth issues of the past 3 years may be put to rest (moving forward).  We may again be looking at a situation where the OL (even the most talented) are able to take that redshirt year to bulk up and learn the offense before (hopefully) getting in a rotation, then the 2-deep, and then eventually start.

EDIT:  Intended as a response to sak2351 above

We are playing with house money now.  Can sit back with five excellent guys in the fold and if later in the process a a top guy wants to commit we will likely make room for him.  They used to call this the catbird seat = Sweet!

O-Line

 i would venture to say we now have one of the best o-line classes in history over the past two recruiting cycles.  And, to me, the crazy thing is all but one are from the midwest and they are all guys who are legit D-1 starters on pretty much any team.

"Wow. This is unbelievable I try to refrain from posting in such threads, but this is looking bad. It's like USC recruiting against Little Sisters of the Poor. Hoke is absolutely having his way with us right now. Even when Lloyd was here and we had JLS, we at least got these kids to give us a look. What Hoke is doing to Dantonio on the recruiting trail is absolute murder."

 

Hoke uber alles.

I thought last year's OL class was terrific. These two classes together are just TREMENDOUS. And, I don't think 6-4 is too tall for center. Clay Shiver was 6-4 and was certainly a great player.

What?!

Coach Hoke and his staff are on fire! 

This is exactly why I have become addicted to mgoblog.  Just yesterday I was here reading about how Kugler really enjoyed his visit, and I was hopeful for a possible commit in a few months. I woke up this morning and immediately checked this site (like a junkie who needs his fix), only to find out Kugler cancelled his visit to MSU and decided to go Blue!  Awesome! What a way to start a Saturday!

I think Coach Funk must be some kind of alien from another football dimension or something ... out of nowhere this guy has offensive linemen drooling to come here.

I'd have his baby.  I would.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mattison

had a hand in this too. He and Sean Kugler probably knew each other well from being in the same division. If Kugler liked Mattison and Mattison talked up Michigan, Brady and Funk, then the rest writes itself.

Hmmm

Kugler committed during the BTN replay of the Michigan/Ohio basketball game from last week.

Coincidence? Or does the magic of Best Weekend Ever work on tape delay as well?

It's kind of like The Ring...

  But without all the scary.  Unless you're Ohio or MSU, then it's probably really scary.

 

  Someone get that tape to Isaac!

See a theme developing here.

Beyond the obvious river of talent generally, they're bringing in tough, ornery big men up front and not just athletes.  In the deluge of Hello posts from "The Weekend," there were quite a few times I saw linemen with adjectives like "nasty," "mean-streak," "high-motor," etc.  Kugler and Kalis seem to be cut from the same cloth from the sounds of it.  Yeah, I'll have another of those, please.

You could line up Fred Jackson behind this line and he'd look like Bo Jackson, except healthier.

I'm really at a loss for words right now on the way Hoke has tackled recruiting. He could probably stop for the next 11 months and Michigan would still have a top-20, maybe top-15 class.

Shane's going to have all the time in the world to look downfield for his receivers, and Ty Isaac might want to take a little bit of a closer look at Michigan now, considering he could be receiving running lanes from one of the greatest o-lines in recent memory.

I'm very concerned.

Not sure this is good for the run game.  The line is going to be opening so many large holes, the ballcarriers may become hesitant as they have to choose which one to take.  The size of the gaps in the DL may make them suspect a trap and pull up.

Furthermore, this could damage the passing game.  You know how when you play touch and there's no one rushing the quarterback, and he just kinda stands there taking his time while everyone else is running around getting exhausted, waiting for him to make up his damn mind and just throw it already?  It seems obvious no one is going to be able to generate pressure on our pocket, and our receivers are going to get tired, especially if Shane sees Kate Upton in the crowd while he's standing back there, and he goes

"Holy crap, that's Kate Upton, are you dudes checking this out?"  

...and Kugler or Bosch or Fox or LTT is gonna be all like "Dude, we're in the middle of a play, please don't get distracted just because you have all day, and... holy crap, you're right, hey check that out, that's Kate Upton doing the Dougie in Section 26, Row 15."

Thus endeth my concerns.

Dantonio didn't even show up to his own Junior day

After enjoying some schadenfreude over at the RCMB, it looks like Dantonio decided not to attend MSU's junior day today. Several prospects cancelled their visit and the biggest slap in the face has to be Kugler's commitment to Michigan.

Saint Dantonio must be doing his thing on a national recruiting search.

Wow. This is unbelievable I try to refrain from posting in such threads, but this is looking bad. It's like USC recruiting against Little Sisters of the Poor. Hoke is absolutely having his way with us right now. Even when Lloyd was here and we had JLS, we at least got these kids to give us a look. What Hoke is doing to Dantonio on the recruiting trail is absolute murder."



Hahaha

WOW!

Our '12 and '13 OL class has (according to Rivals) one 5*, eight 4*'s, and one 3*. It will be hard for anyone (even Wisconsin) to top that. The smallest guy in the group is 6' 5" / 275 in high school.

If you believe football is won and lost in the trenches we are going to be in great shape.

Kugler is a center

6'4" is a good size for a center.  Anywhere between 6-3 - 6-5 is pretty good, but it's more about the build.  I'm fairly certain Kugler is being brought in as a center, so this is a huge get for Michigan

Is he or one of our other

Is he or one of our other commits gonna switch to center?  Or are we taking a center as well?  Honestly at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we just took  18 offensive linemen in the rest of the class and just ran the flying wedge for a guaranteed 4 yards a carry.  We'd win T.O.P battles 48-12.

ha!  Just saw Space Coyote's post above.  In that case, does this mean we're out of the running for Pocic, or is he still on our radar as well since all your offensive linemen are belong to us?

The 11W reaction thread is

The 11W reaction thread is short but has some great bits of schadenfreude.

http://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/football/2012/02/michigan-lands-number-13

My favorite 

"Another O-lineman? At what point do you have enough? Reminds me of the Detroit Lions when they grabbed WR after WR year after year and ended up with just that for a few years. It's worked out now but they can stay for more than 4-5 seasons. Beginning to think Hoke wants headlines as much as anything. That's why he grabs the Ohio guys and then Mgobluh makes a huge deal of it. Good luck to him he'll need it."

Apologies for the blockquotes fail.

Just...uhm...wow

Arguably, we had the 2nd best OL line in the country for '12. At this point, any other school pulling in a better OL line class for '13 may be, literally, impossible. There may not be 5 available OLs better than what we've already lined up. It's just now hitting me just how impressive this is. If I'm Ohio or anyone else in the B1G, I'm thinking two things: 1) get whatever success we can now before these guys start rolling us, and 2) come up with a strategy for dealing with this (not sure what that is--stock up on DL studs? Negative recruiting? Go for broke trying to pull commits away?)

Just...WOW.

Question

why is everyone so in love with Ty Isaac? Have you seen his highlight tape? He never has to put his shoulder down he runs upright, yes he is fast  but dont we want someone who has proved they can hit a linebacker and keep going. I understand with this great of an o-line haul that he will never have to worry about getting tackled, but in all reality he will. He is the polar opposite of a mike hart. Why dont we turn more attention to a guy like DeVeon Smith or Derrick Green those guys have great speed and can break through tacles unlike what ty isaac has shown by FAR. I'll love if Ty if we get him to commit, BUT come on people the proof is in the pudding.

As you read this don't forget about the part saying I will love Ty if he comes to michigan. He just doesn't show the pile driving ability that other prospects show. Just check the tape and see for yourselves.
