Kalis tells Meyer to back off
“Urban and the staff were recruiting me hard for a while but I have recently told them to back off some because I am firm with my commitment to Michigan,” Kalis said. “This trip just made me want to be at Michigan even sooner. I really got know some of my future teammates and my host Jack Miller showed me a great time.”

This should end any question about his commitment to Michigan. This kid is true blue, and will probably be the best guard at Michigan since Hutch. I get the feeling that he's starting to feed off the hatred that the Ohio fans give him, which is scary. I wouldn't want to give him any more motivation, because he's already a kid that can dominate in the trenches.

This means he can't give zero effort and still pass classes.

With guys like him, a good RB can become a great RB. Look at Wisconsin, they put a big O-line in front of Rivals 4* (33 overall RB) Montee Ball and made him the best in the nation.

you may be underselling montee's own efforts
December 15th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
Hey! Urban! Leave our kids alone!
December 15th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
Who are you? Jerry Sandusky or something?
Haha I'm just kidding I like to have fun here. I joke around. Would you like my headshot?
December 15th, 2011 at 10:16 PM ^
All in all he's just a, nother all-american O-lineman in Michigan's legacy.

The Wall.

No means No! Urban Liar. Fvck Ohio.
December 15th, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
.FU !
December 15th, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
But Mario just stared at the phone and urban peed himself and hung up.
December 15th, 2011 at 7:03 PM ^
The fact that Steve Everitt resides next to your comment makes that statement even more bad ass.

Speaking of Jack Miller, if anyone can replace Molk in the coming years, it's probably him.
December 15th, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
Yeah, watching his high school film, he's one bad ass motherfucker. Hopefully he has been able to keep that style of play while getting stronger. And I trust that he's been paying attention to everything Molk did and said. He was given a good opportunity to learn under a stud.
December 15th, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
I think Molk has already crowned him by headbutting him before every game.
December 15th, 2011 at 7:16 PM ^
Urban sits when he pees... fag
December 15th, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
Hands off the dancers, or you will be asked to leave.

Be sure to let us know the weather in Bolivia. Hear it's great this time of year.

wine coolers!
I think he took the job because the head coaches office was stocked full of them
December 15th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
So awesome! I love that he told him to go away. What an awesome example of the power of Michigan. Kudos to Jack Miller for being a great host.
December 15th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
Cannot wait to see him wearing wings.
December 16th, 2011 at 11:17 AM ^
Yes, we've just cast "Jim Harbaugh, the Movie".
December 15th, 2011 at 8:50 PM ^
Kalis for the win! Good to see the plague of Urban's myths is not infecting everyone.
December 15th, 2011 at 9:04 PM ^
Just the thought of Kalis and Magnusson makes my Christmas that much better. Go Blue!
December 15th, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
The Big Ten isn't known for oversigning or the "recruit at any cost" game like the SEC is. I have a feeling that in very short order Bilema, Dantonio and Pelini will actually be helping Michigan's recruting in that they'll be telling recruits, "Urban Meyer is a damned liar. Do not listen to a word that man tells you."
December 15th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
I was watching Recruiting Nation on ESPNU earlier today - and I should have known nothing good would come of it since it's ESPN - and the analysts there were actually defending oversigning saying it can be good for both parties [the program and the players being recruited (!!!)] and the SEC practices in recruiting. The only one that talked some sense on the roundtable was a basketball recruiting analyst. It was embarrassing. I couldn't believe my ears.
December 16th, 2011 at 10:57 AM ^
The more I read and hear about stuff like this, the more I think Fox needs to get of their arse and start protecting their investment - get their own personalities out there beefing up the Big Ten. CBS and ESPN are brutal.
December 16th, 2011 at 10:13 AM ^
I don't know this for a fact, but I doubt Tressel messed with any of Dantonio's recrutis based on their history together.
December 15th, 2011 at 9:51 PM ^
Kalis is King. Long live the King!
December 15th, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
If that were David Molk, he wouldn't have said GTFO. Instead, he would've headbutted Urban Meyer out of his house through the living room window #actionsspeaklouderthanwords

The kid is Michigan, so is Strobel.
I can see Urban sitting there, asking Fickell and his staff all about Michigan's Ohio commits, asking them -- all smug like, tell me about these guys... And after Fickell and his staff rant and rave over how good they all are, Urban more than likely chuckled and thought; I'll get 'em to come home, you just watch. Urban then quickly found out that Kalis, Strobel, Bolden, Wilson, Williams, etc ... they weren't going to budge! Michigan was their final choice, and there isn't anything you can do, say, lie about .. that will break that bond that these recruits have made. To be honest, all of this isn't even about Ohio kids anymore, it's about Missouri (pipkins), it's about California (maggs), it's about Iowa (darboh), it's about Utah (houma), it's about Tennessee (bars), it's about Kentucky (clark) ... it's not about Urban F'N Meyer ... this is about MICHIGAN for godsakes!
December 16th, 2011 at 2:20 AM ^
In ubs defense, they only offered strobel and Kalis.
December 16th, 2011 at 2:14 AM ^
Go Blue!!!
December 16th, 2011 at 4:49 AM ^

December 16th, 2011 at 8:06 AM ^
To go shit in a cooler
December 16th, 2011 at 8:17 AM ^
My bologna has a last name. It's MEYER...
December 16th, 2011 at 8:53 AM ^
Think Hoke would go after Meyer first????
