I was just talking with a friend of mine and we mutually agreed that Ty Isaac would need to have his head examined if he doesn't choose Michigan.

We can only hope that he will be our weekly Sunday recruit...

Who's visiting MSU this weekend that we can get a commitment out of on Monday?
Go Blue!

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

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.

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.
February 25th, 2012 at 12:09 PM ^
In all fairness Akron State Remedial Junior Tech has a pretty good start on the stockpile a good D-Line strategy; though I don't know that their incoming OL talent is on par with the good D-Line guys we ourselves have.
February 25th, 2012 at 11:48 AM ^
Isn't it about time a bunch of 2014 guys start commiting so Hoke & Co. can start working on the class of 2015?
February 25th, 2012 at 11:49 AM ^
Holy schnikes! I leave the board for two hours to do some work, come back and BAM!, we have another commit. I'm going to keep working until just before the basketball game and then check back in. At this rate, I expect to see commits from Isaac and Levenberry . . . at least.

Apparently Kulers dad is the OL coach for the steelers. Im just guessing that this kid's technique is pretty solid.
February 25th, 2012 at 12:13 PM ^
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.
February 25th, 2012 at 12:17 PM ^
Not sure if serious...
February 25th, 2012 at 12:19 PM ^
Yeah, and why is everybody in love with Shane Morris? He always pussies out and jumps over defenders instead of running them over like Tim Tebow!
February 25th, 2012 at 12:17 PM ^
He never has to put his shoulder down into a defender because he just runs past them instead? Plus we already have Shallman committed, I'll be ok taking another top 50 guy with offers from everywhere.

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.
February 25th, 2012 at 12:13 PM ^
Sparty site on Rivals needs to get with it. Theyr footbal recruiting section has a visitor's list for their junior day, headlined by a big picture of someone named Patrick Kugler, and his name in bold print. Wah-wahhhhhh.
February 25th, 2012 at 12:19 PM ^
Shane Morris said he is decommitting. He said he put out a highlight video of him running and now he see's he will never get to do that at UM. Damn oline class.

Welcome to the family: Patrick.
Now I've got to head over to RCMB and enjoy my popcorn.
February 25th, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
I'm loving it. They locked the thread about Kugler's commitment and now there are other threads breaking out, pro and con. It's a circus.
February 25th, 2012 at 1:25 PM ^
Where is number 2?
February 25th, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
Looks like we're getting back to the days when I can just not follow recruiting and assume that we'll be good.
February 25th, 2012 at 1:41 PM ^
I was bummed losing out on Caleb Stacey but if I had to choose between getting Stacey in 2012 or Kugler in 2013... HAIL KUGLER
February 25th, 2012 at 3:50 PM ^
I cant believe what mich is doing right now! has recruiting ever been better? Not that I can remember....
February 25th, 2012 at 5:09 PM ^
if i was a rb recruit, i would want to commit......today! come on down, ty!
February 25th, 2012 at 5:28 PM ^
Looks like Coach Dantonio should have listened at that highschool coaches conference a couple of weeks ago when Coach Hecklinski was giving his spiel on how M recruits! Could have learned a thing or two...
February 25th, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
My slow 5'8"/160lb white ass could run for the Heisman behind these OL recruits. And Urban Meijer is an asshole.
February 25th, 2012 at 5:52 PM ^
Let the goodtimes roll baby.
February 25th, 2012 at 5:53 PM ^
Hoke could be a 1000 yard rusher behind our future line!
February 25th, 2012 at 6:04 PM ^
February 25th, 2012 at 6:20 PM ^
I bet Sparty wishes Hoke just stop the bleeding. CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP!
February 25th, 2012 at 7:34 PM ^
Maybe we should use this vid instead of the Dougie clip, you know because well this one makes me want to drive to my nearest Carl's Jr and buy the restaurant!!!
