Recruiting Updates

Well I think we all could use a little good news after that loss tonight. So first let me start with the bad news and just get that out of the way.

According to Coach Brown from The M Block, we will not be getting Artavis Scott at Michigan.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, the good news.

Word on the street is both Mike Webber and Drake Harris are visiting this weekend. Harris was originally only coming back for the IU game, but according to 24/7 sports, he'll be in AA this weekend.

So because I'm a Junior at Indiana University, this somehow makes me not have sources who know things? Good logic there. And I am an Indiana University student, complete with an Indiana University student ID(campus access card), class schedule, email, and job at Rec Sports.

Yeah, so I see now on Coach Brown's twitter. I just hope it's not that Steve is upset because Coach Brown is now sharing free info he gets straight from recruits. He's also more connected with current commits then Steve it seems, so I'm just hoping Steve isn't mad over that kind of stuff. That would seem very petty and no I'm not trying to take a side or be mean. Just voicing a thought.

He doesn't post new info he just reposts VIP stuff. And I highly doubt he is more connected to recruits as he just bugs them for info. You don't see coach brown posting shit about Hand while Steve is in regular contact with Hand's coaches, comon now.

Or I just hate people misleading others? And saying false things that they don't really know anything about. Especially not when it seems like mainly it's just Steve being upset over the new guy on the block. Again, no hate towards Steve. I honestly don't care that much. I only typed that much because I'm trying to avoid my homework and I'm bored. IU stinks. And I also will never understand why people would dislike someone who shares free info, straight from recruits? I'm a poor college student, and I certainly don't have the money to pay for VIP stuff. So I can appreciate someone who is willing to take their own time and share info for free with others. Which is why I like MGoBlog so much, but man people around here seem really.....I don't even know how to describe it....lately.

You're promoting this site, and it sure seems unlikely that "Coach" Brown would do a lot of work just for fun given that "recruiting insider" can be a career. I don't pretend to know the truth or even care much, but people are hardly being overly cynical here.

First you sound like you're affiliated with coach brown. Second I didn't neg you so talk more. Third many of his reports come after reports from other sources. I'm not going to waste my time to find specific examples and post them here. I trust Steve and from what he has said it doesn't seem that he is just upset that coach brown is a free site, they have a free thread on 247 for example. Remember, Steve and his group came from the free sites and I doubt he has so quickly forgotten his roots.

And FWIW, the dude named Tyler Desy who writes for that site really needs to take some English courses. I immediately stopped reading his stuff; it's that painful.

I'm sure you don't care, but I'll offer my opinion anyway. 

I don't dislike him personally (aside from him trolling for follows from me a couple of times), I just don't view him as a very good reporter.

He's a blatant homer...all the time. For example (s)

CA TE Tyler Luatua posted a pic on Instagram of a text conversation with Coach Brown. In it, he listed his top 5. Coach Brown responded by saying he can't stand the other 4, so Michigan was probably the best choice. 

How can you trust him for objective info when he's pressuring the kids in such a homer-ish way? Can you imagine TomVH ever doing that?

A few other problems-

He called Damon Webb's commitment to OSU 'fishy'. Not because he had any proof, just because. A casual fan can get by doing that. But if you claim to be an objective reporter, baselessly suggesting that the kids you're interviewing are accepting benefits is probably not a good idea.

He has MSpeedKills working with him now- who just steals info from the 247sports VIP boards. 

This sorta goes along with the Tyler Luatua thing, but here are some quotes from his site. 

"Berger plans on going the pre-med route in school so to me the decision is crystal clear. "  

"He told me he is really looking forward to it and knows it will be a good time.  I'm not sure about this, but I would assume that he and Alabi will head to Ann Arbor together so their plans will be very similar"
