Now I'm torn...
I know we're not supposed pay attention to recruit twitter...but this makes me feel better.
Maybe we can just limit to non-ambiguous positive stuff like this?

Well he's a kid who has been criticized by thousands just because of a few stupid tweets. I feel bad for him, it probably ruined his weekend.

I love how Shane was catching
I love how Shane was catching post routes from some of his future opponents QB's. Maybe he was just doing some early scouting on how catchable PSU's passes will be for our DB's.

By far my favorite commit, this kid i such a class act and has such a high standard in the way he presents himself, he is truly a MICHIGAN MAN. GO BLUE!!

This kid is truly amazing. I
This kid is truly amazing. I can't wait to see him in the maize in blue. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check, but I haven't been this pumped for a recruit since Henson.

Yeah and that turned out so
Yeah and that turned out so well for us. I hope this plays out a little better.
Could be wrong...
But, I believe Hensen was the last qb to win in the shoe.

True
True but that will change on November 24th when Denard goes down there.
I hate ohio. Thats all you need to know.
Let's not act like Henson was
Let's not act like Henson was a bust. That 2000 season was pretty incredible, and he had one of the best (maybe the best?) statistical seasons of any UM QB, ever. We were a few plays away from playing for a national championship that year, and it's not like they were Henson fuck ups (NW certainly wasn't).
Sure, I wish he would have stuck around for his senior year, but he backed up TB for a couple years, then played as good a season as a QB could play. If that's what Shane does, I'm cool with that.
Exactly Henson gets
Exactly Henson gets criticized to unreasonable levels. The problem was that when he was being recruited we all thought he was going to be the savior. It sucks he didn't stick around for his last year, but he was still a darn good player. Plus my comparison was just about how excited I am for Shane. Anybody who remembers winning the Henson recruitment knows how big of a deal that was.

That was my point. He came
That was my point. He came in with almost unrealistic expectations and then never saw it through. Sorry but I just came away dissapointed with him.
What was is that disappointed
What was is that disappointed you, out of curiosity? Was it simply that he left a year early? You know Desmond and Woodson did that too, among others.
I don't think it's too tough
I don't think it's too tough to figure out why some people were dissapointed with him. He left to take all the money with the Yankees and then ended up being a bust in the MLB. By the time he figured that out and tried to give the NFL a shot it was too late. Would have rather had him around as our QB for another year. Maybe with another year in college he would have ended up being a fine NFL QB. Just seems like a lot of wasted talent.
So you're disappointed that
So you're disappointed that after giving us three good years, one as a starter, he decided to forego his senior year for millions of dollars to play pro sports? Does it really make a difference which sport he left early to play? Are you disappointed in David Terrell too, since he left early for money and ended up being a bust?
If your going to ignore my
If your going to ignore my reasoning and then change my words to fit your views why waste my time. You come across as one of those people who can't stand it when someone looks at something different than you do...or your last name is Henson.
What words did I change? It
What words did I change? It sounds like the things that disappoint you about him are what he did in the pros, not in college. So are you disappointed in Desmond Howard or Chad Henne? Neither of them are/were great pros.
I'm trying to get you to be more specific. You say that a lot of poeple were disappointed in him, but I only think most people were simply bummed he didn't come back, not that he didn't live up to expectations. Because when he played, he was a great QB.
Desmond was a super bowl MVP
Desmond was a super bowl MVP and is one of the top return specialists in NFL history. He may not have contributed much on the offensive side of the ball, but what he did on special teams can't be overlooked. I'd say he had a pretty good career.

Hmmmmm...
Honestly, I don't get it either. Drew Henson was a great quarterback at Michigan who took an opportunity. Last I looked, isn't that what college is supposed to prepare you for?
If the haters don't hate you then you're doing something wrong. - David Cone
A bit sour
I think a lot of us were sour that year as Henson was a preseason favorite for the Heisman, and we were one of the favorites for a national championship run. Three losses that year by a total of 7 points was a killer. Yes, he did leave for the Yankees for money which was his choice, but for the fans that year it was a killer to see him go with how well we could have done. And Navarre was not ready to be a leader that year, saved only by his supporting cast.
I don't hate often but when I do, I prefer to hate that school in Ohio. Stay Victorious My Friends.
Still say Henson is the
Still say Henson is the best/most talented QB to ever play at Michigan. None had all of the abilities he had in one QB.
since you said Henson
i predict Morris=Henson and Bellomy=Brady
not that Henson was a bust by any account. I just see Russell as a tremendous sleeper.

Weird way to end an article

Thanks for the link. Great
Thanks for the link. Great article on a great kid. He gives reason to why I follow recruiting in the first place - gives you the ability to learn about the kids' characters before they make a physical impact on the field. And it's guys like him that you love to see go to the school you have a passion for.
More importantly, the quote
More importantly, the quote from Dawson in the sidebar sounds promising.

According to TomVH twitter,
According to TomVH twitter, Shane and Treadwell are not on the same 7on team. Treadwell's team is stacked.
Shane's Impersonation of Dantonio
Supposedly they asked the kids which coach is the easiest to impersonate and Shane went with Dantonio. Pretty funny stuff and another reason to love the kid even more!
