That's odd
That's odd
Reschke is a legacy to State. This is more likely to lead to a twitter of him burning his offer letter than another commit.
On another note.....with Fitz hurt, perhaps seriously and our roster loaded with RB's who are either too small or too big and slow on the RB depth chart, and Derrick Green giving no real tell as to what he's thinking....at what point does our coaching staff maybe chase another 4/5 star, possibly from a team losing a coach.
Is anyone really comfortable with our RB situation if Fitz can't go in the fall.

Makes me wonder if the rumors about a certain player in Ohio are true. Reschke might be a tough pull though he has been a spartan commit for a while. I guess we will see how much pull Shane has with one of his best friends.

Hard to make sense of this
Hard to make sense of this
Hard to make sense of this offer outside of a likely McCray decommit. I certainly hope that's not the case. With the LB recruiting we've had in the last two cycles, I would have thought the coaches would look elsewhere to fill scholarships.

For what it' worth, and I know it may be little. Mike McCray was in the MDen on State Street, up by Ben and Jerry's and everything there right after the game. I asked him about coming to Michigan and he said he was excited to get up to Ann Arbor. Take it with a grain of salt, but I just thought I'd share.

First and foremost, there's very little cost to saying, "Hey, if you want to come, we'd love to have you." It's not like that takes a lot of time or resources.
As far as positive reasons to do it, maybe...
- they just saw his 2013 film and thought he looked great.
- they got some indication that he's more interested than they thought. That could have come from Shane, from Reschke himself, or anyone/anything else.
- they just want MSU to have to do some defensive recruiting (of their own kids).
- they've reevaluated the current roster and think a free spot should be used at LB.
- a current player isn't likely to stick around for the long run.
- they're protecting themselves against the possibility of an LB decommit.
- they want to make friends at Brother Rice.
- they want to piss off Dantonio & co.
Bottom line: We have no idea why, but it's a low-cost move that could be justfied by a lot of different beliefs or scenarios.

"I am asking someone smarter than 'myself' not 'I'". When referring to the subject ("I") of a sentence, it becomes the reflexive ("myself") pronoun.

His usage was correct. "Than" is a conjunction, separating two clauses or sentences. In this case, the sentence is assumed to be this: "I am asking someone smarter than I (am). "I" is the subject of the second clause. "Myself" is actually frequently overused by people who feel like they're making a mistake using "me" or "I. While it is often true that when you yourself are the object of the verb, it should be "myself," this is not always true. Sometimes, "me" is the right choice.

Unless one of us our on the
Unless one of us our on the
Unless one of us are on the staff, we won't be able to give anything but a guess. My guess is that one of the back-up linebackers is leaving. Since Ross and Bolden are playing on D already, maybe it's RJS or Ringer. Poole would be another guess. Pure speculation
November 18th, 2012 at 10:35 PM |
Why would Ringer leave after
Why would Ringer leave after
Why would Ringer leave after a RS year when he injured his knee? But this speculating is fun! Maybe JMFR is going pro?
You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.
November 19th, 2012 at 12:44 AM |
Have no info and will not
Have no info and will not
Have no info and will not state anything as even being slightly mattering in Ringer's status or mind but I will say he often doesn't speak too highly of Ann Arbor in general. Nothing team related! Just things that could be homesickness or truly preferring a place more like his hometown. Other things such as just strangers in AA, the bus system and such being "a joke" (his words). AGAIN, by NO MEANS does this mean anything in my head or speculation. I've just had many show me tweets and tell me personal stories stating such. Add potential lack of playing time and you never know. My wonder and question is whether this has any indication on Lewan. Clearly a late 1st-early 2nd rounder at worst (even if his stock plummets) and maybe the staff knows he is leaving already? Or any other player for that matter. IMO, it is a toss offer to the best friend of our staunchest and possibly best recruit/er who happens to also be a very good player committed to our 2nd biggest rival. A no lose, really.
November 19th, 2012 at 2:25 AM |
Yea, I can't see any reason
Yea, I can't see any reason
Yea, I can't see any reason why he hasn't had any playing time. Same with Countess and Wormly! Like wtf, they should be gettng reps... I hear all 3 of them are gonna transfer, and to be honest, I dont blame em.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:37 PM |
Yep
Yep
I don't see Poole receiving much playing time and I've wondered about Ringer as well. Two more years of JMFR and Morgan, plus three of Ross and Bolden and incoming talent.....someone is going to go.
November 18th, 2012 at 11:31 PM |
RJS
RJS
isn't going anywhere. Watching him on special teams, he's very much into the game. Admittedly it's very little to go on, but he's quick twitch athlete who isn't afraid to hit. I think he's going to be very good eventually
November 19th, 2012 at 12:02 PM |
It's certainly not Royce

November 18th, 2012 at 10:26 PM |
The coaches told the
The coaches told the
The coaches told the currently committed linebackers that they would not pursue other linebackers, which is why they didn't go after EJ Levenberry, Shane Jones, etc. I think it's pretty clear this has to do with a guy who's looking around.
November 18th, 2012 at 10:28 PM |
Yeah..
Yeah..
If this is true, why not reach out to Levenberry? I remember he and his father reaching out to Michigan a few months ago. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the recruiting office.
