ohio offers 2013 OT commit David Dawson. Will this count as a head to head recruiting win for Hoke? Thought this was good for a laugh on a Friday night.

Scouting and offering the right guys is way more important than winning mythical offseason recruiting battles (SEE Notre Dame football, 1994-PRESENT). OSU fans are going to continue regretting that their coaching staff "lost" guys like Omameh, Fitz (120 yards on 20 carries against OSU), Ryan, and most recently Frank Clark, whether they got an offer or not.
Then again, if their current coach had given a young dreadlock'd gentleman a chance to play QB, he'd probably still be at UF and who knows where they would be right now. Perhaps it's all some kind of complex strategery I can't even understand.
It is spelled HOKEAMANIA. Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!

If Urbz wants to waste his
If Urbz wants to waste his
If Urbz wants to waste his time by offering a solid UM commit, that's fine with me.
In all seriousness, Urbz does have some intriguing selling points that U-M doesn't . With Michigan, he is part of an AMAZING o-line class. With OSU, he would be THE guy because their current o-line draw sucks. It really depends on how he sees the positives and negatives of each situation.
Luckily, David seems like a bright, young man and chose wisely long ago.

For a kid hellbent on early playing time, being THE guy comes into play. I get what you are saying on the focus, especially pertaining to WRs, but certain players want to be the hero, the star, the focus of the team. It's hard to match that vibe when you are one of five blue-chippers on one recruiting cycle of one position group.

By the way, has anyone noticed that UM and OSU are set for the next few years of brutal wars in the trenches? UM bringing in studs of O-linemen, while OSU is doing the same on the D-line.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk

sure UM O-line vs Ohio D-line looks to be a trench war, but we're also bringing in stud d-linemen too...seems not so much for Ohio on the o-line.

I wonder if this rather late offer means that the plans to clone Evan Lisle to beef up OL recruiting for 2013 have somehow gone south. All that Meyer is doing now is cementing his position as a bit of a recruiting poseur in the Big Ten.

I can understand why he would
I can understand why he would
I can understand why he would want to get in the door at Cass, but I think it is pretty much useless on his part. It is our strongest pipeline and Wilcher will do everything he can to make sure his kids don't go to Ohio. Honestly I hope Meyer spends a lot of energy trying to recruit Cass because all it will do is waste a lot of time they could spend on other guys.

Unfortunately UFM is Tapping in to Cass Tech
Unfortunately UFM is Tapping in to Cass Tech
For obvious reasons, Michigan fans are blissfully unaware of a offensive line recruiting battle going on at Cass Tech for the services of Dennis Finley. Finley is a 6-7 300 lb OT who is rated as a mid 3 star on all the recruiting sites except ESPN where he was awarded a fourth star (just barely). Given the fact that most of the OL talent in the Midwest has already committed elsewhere, Urban Meyer is going after Finley pretty hard at this point I believe. Michigan State wants him too as well as Wisconsin and Illinois and some lower tier schools too.
Unfortunately, there's just not enough room for every Cass Tech kid at Michigan. Cough, cough....Delano Hill.
July 21st, 2012 at 8:15 AM |
I agree with your general
I agree with your general
I agree with your general sentiment... there is just too much talent at Cass Tech for all of them to go to Michigan. It's probably just a matter of time before another Cass Tech kid picks ohio. It's similar to the state of ohio. To expect Meyer to "lock down" ohio is kind of absurd simply because there is so much talent there, even if Meyer wanted all of them, he wouldn't have enough scholarships.
But we're not there yet with Cass Tech. Your examples are both kids that did not get Michigan offers. It will be interesting to see what happens with next year's class, as it seems the top Cass Tech kids for 2014 are more interested in looking around than in previous classes. I sometimes worry that our confidence in this pipeline might be a little unrealistically high.
July 21st, 2012 at 8:39 AM |
Also, there won't be enough
Also, there won't be enough
Also, there won't be enough room for all three (or even two) of the Cass Tech LBs, especially if 2014 OH Ferns commits.
It's just bad luck sometimes; there probably would have been room for Hill in this class if we didn't take three probable safeties in 2012 (Clark, Gant, Wilson). There would have been room for Gibbs if Poggi didn't commit, and we didn't take a flier on Willie Henry last year.
But at least the Cass guys are getting solid D1 schollies at BCS schools; hopefully, they won't end up biting us in the a$$ in the coming years.

Remember that FNL Camp at Florida that Dawson wanted to attend
Florida is rumored to have picked up six 2014 commits at their Friday Night Lights camp today. Sorry for the threadjack.
Trevor Darling, Dalvin Cook, J.C. Jackson, Jacob McCrary, Joseph Yearby, & Kain Daub off the board for '14. All are Top 100 types from Fla.
My point with last tweet, NCAA tried to slow the recruiting process. They failed. It is speeding up, rapidly. More to come with FNL at UF.

Ended about the same time as Marcus Baugh's commitment around early April. Buckeye fans were more confident about Mike Heuerman than they were about McNeil. Once Baugh committed McNeil stopped showing interest because he "didn't feel welcomed anymore."

FTR I was in no way saying Bama isn't going to get quality guys, it just stings to have guys flip to your greatest rivals.
Edit-this was supposed to be to michiganman, I'm not sure why it ended up here.
Edit again-I my apologies for the Rush comment too, didn't even consider that it could be deemed political when it was intended as a joke. It's early, my brain is slow I'll STHU
Depends whether you consider Brionte Dunn a loss for Hoke.
