How much does a 5 star cost?

Submitted by evenyoubrutus on November 30th, 2019 at 3:40 PM

I'm ready to write a sizable check. I'll even write it off as a business expense. Anyone else want to pitch in? Maybe we could do a kickstarter.

The recruiting and 5-star take like this post is annoying and lazy. Do you watch the games? Easy to say we need more talent. Maybe have a staff that can put our guys in best chance to succeed. Maybe not make 5/6 absolute boneheaded decisions a game. We are more talented than all teams in big ten but OSU and roughly equal with PSU. We still lose other games.

Is it no 5-stars for why we put a Safety on 4.3 Hamler? Run 1st and 2nd Downs when you pass at ease and can’t run? When you go for punt block on 4-4 and out your guys in a spot for offsides? Run out of wildcat on a 4-2 when literally 0% chance you will pass? 

This staff doesn’t have the “it” factor. The 5-star take is an easy way out.

Guess you didn’t know this, so I’ll explain. If Michigan gets 5 star players, it was done above board. If OSU gets 5 star players, it was due to bagmen or whatever else they say. OSU has to buy their players, because what else could they possibly have to offer their players? Any 5 star that would dare not go to Michigan is clearly on the take. Again, any 5 star that does go to Michigan is all about academics and doing things the honest way.  The moment Zach Harrison decided on OSU over Michigan, he ceased to be an honest player who goes to class and does things the right way. Those that go to OSU are immoral thugs who had to be paid, so I guess that would include Zach Harrison, and all other players Michigan tried to get, but chose OSU instead. Do I have this right?

Let me fill you in on a little secret - elite athletes want to play for winners, not teams who think they could win if the world (bagmen, referees, apposing coaches, players and fans etc.) stopped picking on them. That's a loser's mentality and might be the root problem up there.  Every now and again your coaches manipulate an elite player into believing the myth, but they walk away "bitterly disappointed."  Your alumni in the national media are embarrassments and your players and coaches quit. How does that help you land elite talent?

See you in 364 days.

Chase Young is being paid.  You might want to call it a “loan” but that is a sham.  Zach Smith was Urban’s bagman coordinator at both Florida and OSU.  Urban was fired by the OSU President because he discovered this shit and both he and Zach Smith got hush money.

Bucknutz36. There are certainly Michigan players who receive money. The difference is OSU systematically pays players In order to recruit better. And I don’t blame OSU for it, if I coached Michigan I would absolutely organize payment for players. 
But it’s easy to tell Michigan fans to stop complaining when your school has better players by cheating.

Until Michigan pays for 5 star recruits and relaxes academic requirements they won't compete with OSU.

OSU gave up all pretenses decades ago.

BTW we could kick their asses with Ohio recruits.  Now that they're going non-Ohio they are damn good.

Does Pizza Hut allow its drivers to donate to such causes?  Check the employee handbook first so you don't get in trouble.
