If they had their full roster for entire season
If they had their full roster for entire season
They played without some of their best players who were suspended for many of those losses and did not have the sense to start Braxton Miller until it was too late. If they had Terrelle Pryor, Mike Adams, Dan Herron, & Devier Posey for the entire season, they finish near or at the top of the B1G.
Take away Denard Robinson, Taylor Lewan, Fitz Toussaint, and Junior Hemingway, and what would have our record been last year? Recruiting isn't everything, but it has become a pretty solid indicator of team performance.

LB Class of 2013
LB Class of 2013
Ohio is going to get their share of highly ranked players. However, if (or when) Levenberry commits on Tuesday, I think UM's LB class will be one of the best in the nation (and if you include the 2012 class UM might have THE best haul of LBs over the past 2 years). Now it's just a matter of whom coaches them up the best...I like our chances with Mattison and Hoke.

I didn't say it's completely hopeless on Levenberry, but I can't remember the last football recruit both sites were pessimistic on who committed to Michigan (Carlos Brown maybe?).

Scouting Thoughts

While I would never guarantee anything when it comes to recruiting, Mike Farrell has stated that he is "not as confident" as he once was and it is a coin toss. Also from ESPN, there are writers saying that they like the odds of Michigan getting good news.
My feeling is this....why would Levenberry move up his recruiting from Signing Day to August to now late April if it was not due to scholarship availability? Florida St last time I checked only had 1 LB commit out of a class of 8 (so far). It would seem to me that they have a 12-16 scholarships left and are not in danger of "filling up" at the postition (ONLY took 2 LB's last year).
Therefore, my theory is Coach Hoke at the spring game told EJ: Listen we want you, but we need you to make up your mind because we are ready to close down LB recruiting as we either want YOU or NOBODY! The negative side of why he moved up the date is that from what I have read EJ's father REALLY respects Coach Hoke and therefore may not want his son "stringing" Michigan along if he already knows that FSU is choice.
Either way...whether EJ commits or he doesn't our LB depth looks to be in good shape. While missing out on him might "tick" some fans off for telling other highly recruited LBs to not even visit, I feel that the last 6-7 recruits in this class are all going to make us happy (whomever they may be)!

This is going to be just like old times, the kind of fierce competition that earned our rivalry the top ranking in all of sport.
Pretty shrewd of Meyer to get the Anzolone commit before Levenberry announces Tuesday.

Urban: Ok, Joey, now you're gonna hold off on committing and say we're in your top two with Michigan. And Alex, you're gonna commit now so we can say we didn't want Levenberry when they get him. Small victories boys, small victories. We have to make it look like Hoke isn't kicking my ass head to head. Oh yeah, Alex, Hoke never pulled your offer either.

If it makes anyone feel any better, the other LB that buckeye fans were counting on for this class canceled his visit to ohio's spring game. Courtney Love... 3* LB out of Ohio is now felt to be a Nebraska lock. This would be a pretty big recruiting loss for Meyer as they were going after this guy hard. Of course, now the talk has turned to flipping McCray to fill their other LB spot.

More bad news for ohio...
More bad news for ohio...
Some more swings and misses for Meyer this weekend... there were high hopes for a commit from OG Marcell Lazard who, like Love, was felt to be a buckeye lean. Well, he just commited to WVU. Of course, suddenly he went from being a "lean" to having a "non-commitable offer." Miraculous!
There wasn't as much buzz about 4* OT John Montelus, but he did have a Meyer offer, and now that he commited to ND today, fans are getting a little unsettled about their 2013 OL prospects.

This is what happens with our class filling up this early, we're going to have to hear about our rivals getting big time recruits while we have little to no news. It'll be alright when we're beating them on the field.
We went 11-2 last year. OSU went 6-7. They must have really been kicking our ass on the recruiting trail to end up with those results.
It is spelled HOKEAMANIA. Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!
