Michigan Most Persistent Recruiter?
I found this little tidbit to be pretty interesting in an ESPN article about recruiting:
Quarterback Zach Kline of Danville, Calif., long pledged to Cal, continued to hear from other schools for months after making his commitment.
The most persistent suitor? Michigan. Kline said he liked all the Michigan coaches but finally told them to stop wasting their time.
"It gets annoying," Kline said. "But you find out it's a business, and these players generate a whole lot of money. You've got to look at it and remember each of these players is extremely valuable. We're all pieces in a big puzzle for them."

Idk if this is good, or bad for us?

to be the most persistent recruiter...guy wont stop calling me about a great investment opportunity.

The coaches only liked him because he wears a winged helmet:

I see this as good.

commited back in September 2010 to Cal?, wouldn't of that been Rich Rod recruiting him? doesn't seem to be his type of QB.

He runs a 4.9 40. Rich Rod wouldn't even consider a mascot with that speed.

Kline wasn't offered by Michigan until February or March of 2011. Rodriguez didn't recruit him. There was a time when Kline was considering other schools despite being "committed," so he hasn't always been 100% Cal. However, he's been solid to them for the last several months.

Are you surprised that with the composition of the class at this point, they'd be hard after a QB? Or is it that any top-flight QB is gonna get as many calls as he can take?

I don't know that Michigan's contact with Kline was necessarily recent. Michigan offered him last spring, so it's been about 10 months since then.
January 5th, 2012 at 2:58 PM ^
if he got contacted by both MSU and U-M and confused the two as being the same school.

Why?

GOD FREAKING DAMMIT I HATE DOUBLE POSTS SO MUCH THAT THIS DAMN MOUSE OF MINE GOES OUT OF IT'S WAY TO DOUBLECLICK EVERY MOTHERF*CKING LINK ON THE PAGE. ONE MORE TIME AND I'M GOING TO RIP THE LEFT CLICK BUTTON OFF AND SHOVE IT UP DANTONIO'S ASSHOLE.

Very nice recovery. By the end of it I almost forgot you double posted. alomst.
January 5th, 2012 at 5:37 PM ^
It worked on the two posters below. Chuckwood is sharp.

Calm down, kay kay. Still on break, right? Relax. Finals not for another 2 or 3 weeks? OK, relax. Sugar Bowl was a win. You didn't have money on Clemson, did you?
Relax...enjoy. Can't lose hoops on at 9. (Can lose, but aren't expected to win...so can't lose - bar injury).
PS. If I double post this the laptop goes out the window.

good to know that if we want someone we keep going after him.
January 5th, 2012 at 3:23 PM ^
Sugar Shane is still the most persistent recruiter on his tweet game I love it
January 5th, 2012 at 5:44 PM ^
Once he asked us to stop, we did. I think it's good that we keep with potential recruits and let them know we're serious. If only it worked in my dating life.
January 5th, 2012 at 5:55 PM ^
that's probably because Michigan is not following random girls home and then watching them in their window for 13 straight hours while listening to Aerosmith's 'I don't want to miss a thing' and sobbing. Slightly different approaches.

January 5th, 2012 at 5:50 PM ^
Considering we have one of the top recruiting classes in the nation, I would say it is a good thing

San Ramon Valley High... I graduated from California High in San Ramon, and SRVH was one of our big rivals. Seeing them wear that helmet made me want to punch someone.
