Is it me, or does Urban go after players AFTER Alabama does? Like he lets Saban does his scouting for him. Similar in his Fla. days, he'd give out scolies after they had one from 'Bama. Seems like most of the Ohio offers also have ‘Bama offers now. Sure, something true to “quality recruits sought by top schools”. Anyone else notice it as a trend?

The original Five Guys, back in the DC area, was pretty darn good. When you walked in the door, the sign told you where the potatoes for that day's french fries came from and everything. The burger patties were made by hand, and all of that.
That formula doesn't translate so well to mega-franchising. What was awfully good became pretty unimpressive in a hurry. How you expand from DC to SoCal in ten years, while maintaining quality, is beyond me.
In-n-Out is probably making a good decision by staying local to SoCal. Their quality (IMHO) is still pretty darn good. Give me the Double-Double, animal-style of course, any day of the week . . .

A good decision by them not to franchise, I agree, but big difference. That being said, I believe the founder of In-n-Out has recently passed away and left the company to his son and daughter who have been arguing about impending expansion. Stay tuned.

Ya, Five Guys just has not been as good as it was in DC when I was there. Maybe because Ann Arbor has a lot of good burgers that aren't franchises and it weened me off Five Guys, I no longer see it as I used to. Part of this though has been a goal to eat less fast food burgers and save my burger intake for bars and restaurants that I really like. Also, had a friend who grew up in Colorado and had both In and Out and Five Guys in DC and he said he like In and Out the best. Biggest regret about my visit to Cali was not getting In and Out....damnit.

There are enough highly rated offensive linemen in the midwest for both schools to get full classes and be happy. There's enough to not be mad about the commits at the other school either. Good for them. Urban Meyer is putting together a nice class. So is Hoke. That's the way it should be.

I don't think McCray is a Michigan lean though (pre-not getting offered). He's a Buckeye legacy. 11W thinks it's because he's not fast enough for what Meyer wants on D and/or the coaching staff feels good about the other LBs they've offered. It's still a bit...baffling.

With him visiting on the 6th and announcing on the 8th as well as his friendships with Charlton and Dukes, I feel pretty good about our chances.

I have about the same thoughts on him that you have listed. I don't want to count our chickens or anything, but I'd like to think we are strongly in the hunt for him.
In general, we have to expect certain players to be harder for us to swing, with OSU having the inside track. That being said, we can still poach some good talent from the state down south.
In fact, the occasional Heisman winner can even come our way . . . .
