Should be a good battle.

RichRod is making noise in Ohio, this would be a huge get! Recruit this kid hard! Depriest and Tanner would be a great start!
January 31st, 2010 at 4:31 PM ^
there is some hope in recruiting in OSU's backyard, as Latwan Anderson is going to WVU, and Jordan Hicks is going to Texas this year. Maybe we can weaken the stronghold next year they have if we can get these 2011 recruits, one of which will definitely be 5 stars.
I would also be happy with Lawrence Thomas instead of DePriest. If we could get Zettel, Arnett,Thomas, and Beyer, that would be the top 5 in Michigan. (We already have Hollowell)
January 31st, 2010 at 4:47 PM ^
If this happened the Freep would still find a way to stick a few state kids in the top ten. Not that the freep exists.
January 31st, 2010 at 5:22 PM ^
you can use Hicks as indicative of some trend regarding OSU in-state recruiting. He did not grow up in Ohio and stated unequivocally that he was never an Ohio State fan. It was a unique situation.
I'd like to believe the walls around the fortress are crumbling but I don't know if that's the case. Yet.

Damn. Knew it would happen, but it still sucks.
January 31st, 2010 at 4:55 PM ^
"I definitely like Michigan a lot," Tanner said. "But now, I have more of an open eye, and I want to look at all of the colleges, and looking at all the colleges as even and try to find what fits me best."
Shit.

By the way, is Brennan Beyer going to commit soon, or will he look at some other options first and take more time?
January 31st, 2010 at 5:19 PM ^
It's not that he wants to really take his time, he just wants to make sure it's right first. He'll be at Junior Day on the 20th. I would expect him to commit sometime after that.
He's a HUGE Michigan fan.
January 31st, 2010 at 6:20 PM ^
Beyer isn't listed on the recruiting board here, or on the one at Scout. Please forgive me for being so wrapped up in this year of recruiting that I'm not up to speed on future recruits. Can someone provide some vitals? School, position, measurables? In advance, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
January 31st, 2010 at 6:59 PM ^
He's on all the boards. He's in next year's class.

Are we recruiting him as a tight end or as a strongside end? Or both? I can see him being the next TE behind Moore and Koger, but we can never have enough pass-rushing DEs.
Thanks, Tom.

Signing Day 2011 is over a year away. There's a lot that can happen between now and then.
I'm turning my attention to spring practices and seeing how these kids develop on the field before I even start to get emotionally involved in the thought process of a high school junior.
Not that it's not conversation worthy, but let's not get carried away. There's a lot of football to be played between now and then.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
Why are you reading...and commenting in...this thread then?
We know when Signing Day 2011 is, too.
January 31st, 2010 at 5:21 PM ^
I'd prefer Jessie Katsopolis.
January 31st, 2010 at 5:27 PM ^
Is this JC?
January 31st, 2010 at 6:54 PM ^
Glad to see Tanner pull in an offer from OSU. Michigan is going to have to beat OSU for Ohio kids if we want to close the talent gap.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
Ron Tanner- Michigan
Danny Tanner- Ohio State
That's how I see this playing out.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:38 PM ^
For the Full House reference
Cut...It...Out
January 31st, 2010 at 8:53 PM ^
We need him on D badly
February 1st, 2010 at 8:42 AM ^
who gets the Olsen twins? Do we have to split?
February 1st, 2010 at 3:40 PM ^
Don't be surprised if this one is over in February...
