Shaun Crawford offered by ohio st.
Michigan commit Shaun Crawford was offered by Ohio State. Says he is committed to Michigan, but focused on his season right now.

I don't think the Bobcats can pull him from Michigan.
Edit: Original thread title was "Shaun Crawford offered by ohio" before the OP added " st." to the end of it.

The only thing less clever than Chriz2z's post is the "Ohio" bit to begin with. I love the irony in a not-so-clever person being criticized for lack of cleverness by a less clever person. Clever.

Hit a nerve?
Six posts in the last year and you had to object to 'Ohio'.

I love how most of their fanbase has no problem calling us "scUM", but if one of ours calls their school "Ohio" our fans get pissy...seriously, it's Ohio State. Who gives a shit what people call them? Afterall, their band doesn't spell script "Ohio State" and their chant isn't O-H-I-O-S-T-A-T-E. Telling other people how they should express their hate for the Suckeyes is pretty lame. GO BLUE!

His dad said that he loves Michigan and that being offered early is significant based on limited space for the 2015 class.
November 20th, 2013 at 11:29 PM ^
Well that's a good sign at least.
November 20th, 2013 at 10:03 PM ^
Would definitely like to see him in Maize and Blue, he plays with alot of intensity.

22-0 - Ranked 3rd, won 9 of 10
15-8 - NR, won 1 of last 10
Tough choice for the kid. Hope he stays A2 bound but won't get my hopes up. I think we all knew stuff like this was bound to happen with 2015 kids. They haven't seen anything to make them want to be a Wolverine - outside of a poorly played Sugar Bowl win in 2011.

I don't think it's that easy. I'm pretty sure he grew up a Michigan fan, and it's not like current commitments have left just because Ohio State offered them.

Ohio offering Crawford is a validation. I think we have to be able to compete with Ohio head to head in recruiting. If we're not doing that, we'll never be competing with them on the field.
November 21st, 2013 at 9:48 AM ^
Right, just like how Staee never is close to us when it comes to recruiting, but has beat us 5 out of the last 6 meetings. I understand what you are getting at, but not always true.
November 21st, 2013 at 5:04 PM ^
Your logic is revisionist and silly.
They are also 5-5 in the last 10 but I guess recruiting didn't matter then?
The whole of the series is 2/1 ratio for Michigan but, again, recruiting didn't matter in all those wins either?
I am sure some combination of Chris Rock/Ray Vinopal with a lot of "want to" is your vision of the ideal Michigan player?
As if recruiting doesn't matter. #overlytiredofthatmeme

What is the strategy of telling your coach you are going pro this early?
November 21st, 2013 at 9:33 AM ^
Courtesy? If I were a coach I'd want to know how many kids are leaving so I can recruit accordingly. I'm sure many of the kids who know they are going pro let their coaches know even if the coaches don't announce it publicily. Just like Michigan is recruiting for more spots than are currently available according to the depth chart. They know their players and have good relationships with them.

Saturday is Senior Day and the graduating seniors will be honored.
Roby is a 4th year Junior who knew going into the year that this would be his last. He wanted to take part in the senior day traditions with his incoming recruiting class and be honored as a Senior (it is his 4th year and he should graduate in the Spring).
He is just making it official because he will be treated as a senior this weekend.

Well, both of our starting safeties (Corey Brown and CJ Barnett (+Christian Byrant)) are seniors, and Bradley Roby has already told Urban that he's declaring after this season.
So that leaves Doran Grant as the only returning starter in next year's secondary. Armani Reeves and Gareon Conley will both get first crack at replacing Roby next year, but I think the safety spots are wide open. Vonn Bell will probably be a favorite to win one of the safety spots, and Tyvis Powell and Ron Tanner are both currently listed in the 2-deep.
I wouldn't say they are completely filled in the defensive backfield, but they aren't in a dire situation either.

that it is time to stop reading the post and move on. What are we, like 10?
November 21st, 2013 at 2:05 PM ^
If only we had some sort of "rating" system for comments to hide the useless ones... you might never see it in the first place (unless you went looking for it)

That post and your history tells me you'd be more comfortable at RCMB.

IMO losing a recruit to OSU is worse than Bama. UM would have to go against an OSU recruit once a year.
