You need a vacation or something. You're far too uptight, like all of the damn time. It's a fan board, and fans follow twitter (novel concept).

This tweet was from yesterday. So it was probably more of a game prediction. And taking that OSU isn't recruiting him, why wouldn't he pick Michigan.

We need elite talent at RB and WR. I will take whoever will come our way. Heck, I would take both Isaac and Green, but I do not think either are likely. We have not landed any elite position players that were not die hard UofM fans growing up. This is still a concern and should be noted if we are going to contend for B1G championships and compete nationally. I want this program to be a national power and do it the right way. We are going to need elite talent to do so. So far, we have not shown the ability to develop position players, although, it has only been two years.

Part of your rant is the last part..."although it has only been 2 years." It's like you talked yourself off the edge and realized you don't become a national power over night. These "elite" players you seek have grown up during the time when Michigan was basically a cellar dweller during RR years...it is going to take some time my friend....

Development has been fine, just don't have the elite athletes there yet. Gallon, Dileo, etc. have come along nicely.

Yeah, by the end of the season it seemed like we'd transplanted Avant's hands on Gallon.  He'd have the corner hanging off him, the safety spearing him, and 70% of the time he'd pop up with the ball.  

Although I think by the end of the year he was also playing injured.  He was real slow to get up a number of times.

With USC's disappointing year plus Kiffin's blatant idiocy (press conference tantrums, under inflated footballs, 1yr Tennesee debacle, etc), the guy is a ticking time bomb. If my child were contemplating his team, I certainly would steer him away. I'm hopeful the Isaacs are doing the same. Complete speculation, I know, but I'll be watching this with keen interest.

Every day, I thank God that I am not a Sparty fan...

FWIW, ESPN has a stub title on their recruiting site saying Wilkins was reconsidering his committment  to Auburn after the Chizik firing. Obviously, neither party was the others first choice in the last go around, but maybe we'll re-enter the ring if we really feel like we're struggling to get the right RB.

If I was Hoke, I would encourage top tier recruits (Green, Treadwell, McQuay, Issaic) to commit during their all star game.  This creates tons of program hype and great publicity.  You can bet that every well known junior recruit is watching those games. 

So I guess what I'm saying is that they're all silent commits.  Don't worry.

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Oh come on, we don't need him! Remember, Fred Jackson says Rawls 'runs angry'and  is better than Mark Ingram. Our RB situation is A-OK!! Is Vincent Smith returning for his 7th season?

Our RB situation is fine. However we need the hogs up front to create the holes for them.
