Is there a good chance?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^
I'd like to see us get back in it (or at least to where we were previously) with Ray Drew and Karlos Williams. It's not going to happen, but a guy can dream right? I'm still very skeptical that Zettel ends up a member of this class, however
January 18th, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
That's just not funny man. You can't play with people's emotions like that.
But... Royce Jenkins-Stone, James Ross, Chris Wormely, 5 other Ohio DEs
January 18th, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
will be an uphill battle. Achievable but tough. 2 of his good friends and high school teammates are Penn State's guys. Bolden and Robinson.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
Excuse me, Kris Frost, how would you like to be the next Ray Lewis?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
Kids are going to hear they can be the next Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, or Bart Scott, and they're gonna...well, let's just say they'll be pretty excited.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:24 PM ^
Great hire.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
We can certainly dream. And perhaps you can work on the subjects of your new threads? Something like "Mattison's affect on Recruiting"...
January 18th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
and maybe work on some sort of consistent capitalization scheme and re-title it "Mattison's Effect on Recruiting"
January 18th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
January 18th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^
January 18th, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
take that IF out because we have hired him.I think we will at least land some talented defensive players before signing day.GO BLUE!!!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:14 PM ^
Anyone know why Kris Frost is so hard up to be a wideout. I would think bringing in a guy like Mattison who coached Ray freakin Lewis and Terrell Suggs would be intriguing to any high school linebacker.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
Chicks dig the long ball. Ok, it's not a perfect comparison, but you get the idea.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
does Zettel have to say "no" before people start to believe him?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:16 PM ^
The MgoBlog over under shall be set at 732. Bets may now be placed.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:33 PM ^
732 was eclipsed in the first half. Should have gotten in before I did.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:20 PM ^
before NSD
January 18th, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
How about we dispatch a group of regulars from MGoBlog to help sway his decision and get him to Ann Arbor? I think we have a few people here that could talk him into it.....absolute worst case scenario, between all of us, we could certainly get him completely loaded and then ask him to sign, right?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:25 PM ^
That would be a recruiting violation.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:29 PM ^
......absolute worst case scenario
January 18th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
Not if you pay his dad rather than him
January 18th, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
The name on the check makes a world of difference to the NCAA and the law.....in that order,no less.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:55 PM ^
so if you go the liquor route...
January 18th, 2011 at 8:14 PM ^
Not argueing if it's a violation or not but really how could it be? How can the university prevent this from going on and I'm sure this wouldn't be the first time a fan "persueds a potential recruit in a particular direction.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
We all know it has to be better than Gerg. So yes there is a chance.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:16 PM ^
I am 85% sure we land McClure and Raven. Those would be 2 huge "gets". Frost? You never know, Mattison and Hoke could "sway" him. Why would you want to play for a school that is about to get "hammered" for violations? I hope Frost goes Blue!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
FR: HI, I'm Floyd Raven
GM: Hi, I coached Ravens
FR: Here's my LOI
January 18th, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
This made me laugh so hard.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:56 PM ^
that a certain DC was on his way?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
Will benefit huge from this. Don't get me wrong any player on the Michigan def is benefiting from this. Speaks volumes on the hiring of Brady Hoke so far. And of course DB the pimp. We have money, come to MICHIGAN!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
I attribute this hire enitrely to BH as DB was off trying to hire RE. His faux pimp hand hasn't come back to life.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
I could see maybe a few players being swayed by the idea that they'll have a guy who coached a couple top 10 defenses in the NFL over them......maybe that's more attractive.
I mean, Ray Freakin' Lewis, kids......think about it.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:27 PM ^
There is a good chance that your ultra-vague thread title will piss off a few people.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:29 PM ^
program is now taking. The O has skill and mix in with some smash-mouth on O also then watch out.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:32 PM ^
Seems like this would make Countess pretty happy. And his teammate Stefon Diggs -- possible 5 star Athlete for 2012.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
Hopefully this helps with Cooper too.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^

For those who missed it.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
I heard there's a pretty good chance we get Ray Lewis to transfer. He will want to stick with his D coordinator.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
I heard the same and maybe a couple others coming with him. I know Mattison was here prior and the years he was here the defense was great but what can we expect as a recruiter?
January 18th, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
Mattison was the head recruiter of Tim Tebow at Florida.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
January 18th, 2011 at 7:58 PM ^
A bunch of 4/5 stars say "I wanna be like Ray Lewis/Terrell Suggs/Ed Reed," and change their minds.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:07 PM ^
January 18th, 2011 at 9:53 PM ^
A shot in the arm--a guy from the NFL who built one very stout defense.
And I'm now putting the over/under on Zettel threads (including subtle ones like this) before signing day at a firm 274.
