Hemholdt just ReTweeted a link saying that Auburn is still in it for Kozan, Diamond, and Diggs. I could give a shit less about Diggs anymore, but I would hope that we can snare Kozan and Diamond

At odds with what Rivals is saying
RT @JHokanson: We have an update on Alex Kozan, Jordan Diamond, and Stefon Diggs on our board. Auburn still in play for all three.

If you've been to Auburn you
If you've been to Auburn you would know its not the sort of economy that would support a large number of hookers. Its got a real small town feel, which I guess can be appealing to some. Its in the middle of nowhere, and you have to drive by a lot of cows to get there. My girlfriend's undergrad is from Auburn, and she loves it the same way I love a Wordsworth poem--its pastoral and quaint and full of itself all at the same time. It in no way compares to Ann Arbor culturally.

Uh, right
Call them hookers or call them " hostesses who will do ANYTHING for the program," but Auburn still uses just as much "southern hospitality" as the rest of the SEC does, with maybe the exception of Bama's world class "hostess" squad.

Don't forget the $200,000

Maybe we can hope
that Kozan takes a poll of the hostesses and finds that too many are majoring in Liberal Arts.

No knock on lefty...but I would be weary on how that Auburn O rolls without Malzahn. they also lost Dyer when Malzahn left.
I guess I just dont get the appeal of Auburn...I can understand Bama but not Auburn.

Auburn's appeal?

February 1st, 2012 at 8:07 PM
#29
The choices can be odd
Garnett, wanting to be a Doctor and being from the West Coast, going to Stanford makes sense to me.
Kozan, being from Colorado, leaning towards Iowa, makes no sense to me.
Rutgers without Schiano, makes no sense to me.
But they are 17-18 year old kids
February 1st, 2012 at 7:55 PM
#32
No
I agree... Why would you seriously not want to come to Michigan.... I mean Iowa really wtf are they selling this kid on??
February 1st, 2012 at 8:01 PM
#33
For starters
They're probably selling this kid on the fact that Iowa has kinda kicked around Michigan in recent years. Sometimes recent history shows a kid a lot more about a program than our national titles 100 years ago.
February 1st, 2012 at 8:05 PM
#34
Dude
Who didn't kick us around during the RR era??? I mean that's a pretty weak sales pitch especially since we won a BCS game this year

They beat us this year too
We beat them by 6 in 2001. They beat us in 2002 and 2003. In 2004 we beat them but they finished 10-2 and #8 in the country. In 2005 we needed OT to beat them. We didn't play in 2007 and 2008. They've beat us 3 years in a row.
They won a BCS bowl in 2009 and went to another in 2002. They've had four top-10 finishes in the last 10 seasons (same as us).
Iowa's sales pitch is a lot stronger than you are pretending it is.
February 1st, 2012 at 8:42 PM

Yawn boring
We are Michigan... Iowa doesnt even compare
February 1st, 2012 at 8:07 PM
#38
That's all well and good, but
That's all well and good, but no matter where Kozan goes, let's not pretend Iowa takes kids over Michigan very often at all. The top player from Iowa picked Michigan this year, remember.

Does he have a lot invested

We beat Iowa this year. Iowa + bad officiating beat Michigan

Iowa knows offensive lineman
Iowa puts PLENTY of offensive lineman into the NFL...they definitely have more in recent memory.
Let's not be ignorant and act like this is a 5* WR choosing Houston with no Case Keenum or Kevin Sumlin over us.

Have you seen Iowa's OL Draft
Have you seen Iowa's OL Draft history? 13 drafted over the past 10 years vs. 4 out of Mich.
- 2012: 1st (Reiff), 4-6(Zusevics)
- 2011: 5th (Vandervelde)
- 2010: 1st (Bulaga), 7th
- 2009: 4th
- 2008: nobody
- 2007: 3rd, 7th
- 2006: nobody

UMich O-line
I don't know whose fault it is (Andy Moeller?), but aside from Jake Long and David Baas, there was a long pre-RichRod O-line dry spell here. Anyone who speaks of "getting back to UMich offensive lines" should be prepared to head to 2000.
Speaking of RichRod, he had one year with (ultimately) no recruits in that area. Aside from Lewan (looking good at this point) and Schofield (maybe), I don't see any future pros from his 3 1/2 classes.

NFL
Don't forget that Iowa has been able to place their OL in the NFL quite well under Ferentz. Definite sales pitch.
February 1st, 2012 at 7:55 PM
#46
Well
That's why its called recruiting, isnt it? It's not hard to see why so many recruits go so many different places with all the dynamics that go into trying to convince a 17 year old kid (who has never made a grown-up decision in his life) to pick your school over another school.
February 1st, 2012 at 7:48 PM
#47
Well
That we are even in this conversation is good news. When we all ran to our computers this morning, we all assumed he was Iowa bound. We have a chance, and we're playing with house money.

These two teams are headed in
These two teams are headed in opposite directions. Let's be real here Kozan. Do you want trophies or do you want ER bills?

It would be really nice, but
It would be really nice, but like every other prospect recently that we thought we had a shot at, this one seems more far-fetched.
February 1st, 2012 at 7:56 PM
#50
I don't think it's
I don't think it's far-fetched. If Colorado guys are saying he's down to us and Iowa, I have to like our chances. He obviously has major reservations about the Hawkeyes, and kids typically don't recommit to schools

Other people are saying
That he is meeting with the coaches to decide between Michigan and Iowa. I do hope that we end up with Kozan and Diamond though. It would be absolutely wonderful.

Too bad...
Hoke said he doesn't tweet. Hopefully the offensive line coaches have an account LOL

I think you mean HALOL.
February 1st, 2012 at 8:09 PM

We need to get one
Period. I'm seriously beginning to wonder whether or not the Kozan decision is really about the Diamond decision. Could Alex potentially wait until Friday night or even Saturday?
February 1st, 2012 at 8:23 PM
#57
That's what I was thinking. I
That's what I was thinking. I think it would be stupid for him to base his decision off of that considering that they play different positions, but I am wondering if he's just looking at raw OL numbers.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:24 PM
#58
I think this is it. If
I think this is it. If Diamond goes to Auburn (which they're waiting for) there's no spot for Kozan. If Diamond says no, they'll take him. The fact that they play different positions on the line only makes no sense if you figure this is about US. sadly.

While Iowa has been doing
While Iowa has been doing well the past few years, I can not see them on the way up. They lost to Minnesota. The league could be returning to the old days when it was Michigan and Ohio, then the rest of the league.

David Molk period....
If I was him I would be torn since he would be molk's hopeful replacement on the sugar bowl champion, big ten no 2 defense, no.2 offense (IMO-both in 2012). For me its better than getting noticed in the insight bowl. This should be a no brainer but with recruits you never know. I say he should've committed to Blue already!
