Recruiting director Matt Dudek responds to Twitter trolls...
So there is a small, but growing faction of people, who have been voicing their displeasure and concern about the '18 class. They claim that we are getting left in the dust in comparison to OSU's recruiting. When you look at the recruiting rankings and the classes OSU has coming in over the next few years, that may be true. That frustration boiled over in a heated Twitter exchange with recruiting director Matt Dudek. Looks like the trolls have finally gotten to him.

Personally, I'm not a star gazer or one who puts tremendous stock in recruiting rankings, but there are many in the fanbase that do. True, there is a stark difference in talent that OSU has in the '18 class and what Michigan is getting star-wise. I think it's just a result of some misses on our end and a bad season and I think the '19 class will be as good as any and there's no reason to worry.
For those out there that are worried about the '18 class or the disparity in apparent talent that OSU is bringing in and what Michigan is bringing in, can you explain the rationale of why you're freaking out over one average class?

Ruth Chris? Bitch I'm eating a Halo Burger double stack. F" that noise!
December 16th, 2017 at 7:26 PM ^
Order that hot spinach dish they serve. Its fantastic... just make sure your not far from a bathroom about 20 minutes after consumption.
December 16th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
I miss Halo Burger! A good olive burger sounds good right now!
December 16th, 2017 at 11:50 PM ^
Is that the same as the chain that was called “Hot N Now”? That’s the only other place I’ve seen an olive burger, and it was also in Michigan.
December 17th, 2017 at 1:15 AM ^
If you don't know Halo Burger, you gotta try it! Michigan classic!
December 17th, 2017 at 7:58 AM ^
Halo Burger is a more of a standard fast-food restaurant with dining rooms and a decent size menu; it's a local chain that I believe started in Flint. Halo Burger is not the same thing as Hot'N'Now, which was basically a drive-thru only place that had pretty much nothing but cheeseburgers, which they sold for like 39 cents.
December 17th, 2017 at 10:04 AM ^
not mistaken, the only Hot N Now left is in Sturgis.
December 17th, 2017 at 2:31 PM ^
one too many.
Just like my double post.
(edit#2: you're correct about the Sturgis Hot n Now being the last one standing:

Benton Harbor used to have one about a quarter mile from Henry's but it's been closed for well over a decade. I tried their burgers a couple of times hoping for a White Castle-type experience. Not even close. Just awful.)
December 17th, 2017 at 2:14 PM ^
one too many.
Speaking of local Burger joints, St Joe and Benton Harbor is now down to just one: Henry's Hamburgers in Benton Township. They've carved out a niche among all the national chains surrounding them by offering menu items not found anywhere among the competition AND by having the best cheap and greasy cheeseburgers in the area.
Roxy's (next to St. Joseph High School) recently announced they were shutting down; they also used to have 2 Benton Harbor locations that have long since closed. Roxy's used to make a pretty good Olive Burger, but it's been several years since I've eaten there. I heard that when they changed ownership awhile back that the new owners changed a lot of the menu (and not for the better).

I live there and can confirm it. Still does half way descent, although I never particularly enjoyed their food.
December 17th, 2017 at 10:33 AM ^

December 17th, 2017 at 12:28 PM ^
I'm not sure why we're talking about Halo burgers, but now I'm hungry. I'll be in Flint in a couple weeks and will NEED to grab an olive burger.
December 16th, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
Good the recruits will like this. Harbaugh knows whats goin down, everyone today has a fuckin opinion, doesnt mean we need to listen to shit. Some old ass hat today ranted on and on about how Harbaugh should be fired cause he doesnt know how to coach anymore.
December 16th, 2017 at 7:22 PM ^
Well there is a huge recruiting dropoff between us and MSU and they seem to always beat us, so recruiting rank shouldn’t be an excuse on why we aren’t beating OSU.
December 16th, 2017 at 7:24 PM ^
I think you should root for another team if your serious.
December 16th, 2017 at 7:28 PM ^
I always like to think that Michigan fans would have better grammar...
December 16th, 2017 at 8:05 PM ^
Sorry to dissapoint you. I always like to think that Michigan fans arent................ nm, its a message board... chill out
December 16th, 2017 at 8:11 PM ^
Hi Franklin.
December 16th, 2017 at 8:21 PM ^
You know.... you are the 3rd person thats said that to me in the last few days. Ive been letting it go, but i gotta say as an off and on reader to MgoBlog i believe you are referring to the Hatchett character who was around these parts alot last month, am i correct? I had an account a long time ago, been overseas alot the past 4-5 years so created a new one, so to put your conspiracy theory to rest nope not him. Is it cause my avatar is black? Im guessing im 10-15 years younger than that guy, judging by the way he talked. He reminded me of my fat gambling addict uncle honestly.
December 16th, 2017 at 8:36 PM ^
"the Hatchett character who was around these parts alot last month, am i correct?"
Thats the passage that confirms it
December 16th, 2017 at 8:39 PM ^
Change your name to Tiresias since you are apparently a blind prophet you fuckin hairlip
December 16th, 2017 at 8:40 PM ^
Just for you, Franklin.
December 16th, 2017 at 8:44 PM ^
Haha whatever. I dont care if you call me that, i actually think its funny cause i cant prove shit either way. Neither can you, but all the sudden you act hard cause i respond to someone calling me a name repeatedly thats not associated with me. Maybe the mods can weigh in based on my posts compared to his?
December 16th, 2017 at 8:48 PM ^
The mods need to figure out how to permaban trolls like you. Bolivia is nice this time of year.
December 16th, 2017 at 9:35 PM ^
Notawitty was apparently replying to something that Hatchett 2.0 had said that has since obviously been nuked.
December 16th, 2017 at 9:37 PM ^
Hatchett is still here unfortunatley. Look down a couple posts. I would notify the mods, but I don't know how.
December 16th, 2017 at 9:58 PM ^
Damn. I step away for half an hour and things go to shit. I wonder what I missed from Impetuous, Franklin, WD, Mazien or whomever the troll was?
December 16th, 2017 at 10:04 PM ^
Look in the directors cup thread.
December 16th, 2017 at 11:58 PM ^
you're having with yourself, oops I mean, with each other
December 17th, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
Your losing it man
December 18th, 2017 at 8:26 AM ^
Bolivia just isn't funny anymore. Stop.
December 16th, 2017 at 8:59 PM ^
If the mods think im the same person then bolivia is fine, any person who reads this blog regularly can tell im not the same person.
December 16th, 2017 at 8:48 PM ^
Darn I keep missing the good stuff.
Please tell me it's the same Hatchett from 97.1 because he's an idiot, and not a real fan. (This describes just about everyone on 97.1)
December 16th, 2017 at 9:12 PM ^
Aye yall! You just banned an innocent man. You guys involved in that bullying are some
Pathetic arrogant aholes. Im finna stop readin this site now.
December 16th, 2017 at 9:41 PM ^
Bye...
December 16th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
Bye Felicia.
December 16th, 2017 at 11:06 PM ^
Thats the best news i've read in awhile. Bye franklin
December 16th, 2017 at 11:50 PM ^
This blog sucks
December 17th, 2017 at 12:20 AM ^
Then why are you still posting on here..........O wait your a troll that has no life apparently
December 16th, 2017 at 7:33 PM ^
Duplicate comment
December 16th, 2017 at 7:33 PM ^
a good point/comparison.
December 16th, 2017 at 7:37 PM ^
What an impetuous thing to say.
December 16th, 2017 at 8:45 PM ^
What did Orlando say that was wrong?
December 16th, 2017 at 8:19 PM ^
Probably has something to do with Rich Rod and Brady Hoke's coaching. Against Urban Meyer he's 2-4 and against Nick Saban he's 0-2 so not having elite recruits clearly does hamper him.
December 16th, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
These past two years from the bucnuts have been good teams When it comes to their recruiting rankings. They weren’t anything special on the field. Michigan beat themselves. Oh and the refs royally fucked them over by helping The cheaters back in the game and getting them the lead but I’m just complaining here right?
December 16th, 2017 at 9:53 PM ^
MSU hasn’t beaten Michigan since Harbaugh has been here, however, that fact hasn’t sufficed to keep Michigan from finding ways to lose a couple of the games in that timespan.
December 17th, 2017 at 7:42 AM ^
Guy. The final score is all that matters. If the shoe were on the other foot, and MSU fans this, you would be furious. They have beaten us, let's just change the narrative on the field, not on message boards.
December 17th, 2017 at 11:40 AM ^
But this year was definately a Loss, we mustered a mere 10 pts at home and earned it.
December 16th, 2017 at 11:45 PM ^
Our class is far closer to MSU than OSU. In fact, Sparty has a better class than us currently on some sites.
December 17th, 2017 at 2:21 PM ^
The only ranking I've seen with MSU ahead of rivals, which seems to base that off the fact Michigan has 16 commits while MSU has 20, since the average ranking for UM commits is 3.44 while MSU is 3.2. UM's average ranking is equal to ND, LSU, and Washington. MSU is equal to Miss St. and South Carolina and below teams like Vandy and Arkansas.
