Threadjack thread
Its come to my attention that some users cannot post new threads until they receive the right to gain points on 5/25*. So, I'll throw this thread up: if you don't have the ability to gain points, but want to start a thread -- feel free to thread-jack below.
Thanks tasnyder01! It looks like men’s BB could be picking up a grad transfer that would fit in nicely with the departure of Poole and Mathews:
Thanks! Sam has been talking this guy up on his show lately.
It would seem to be a great fit for both. He wants to be on a bigger stage and the team could use a shooter, he made 109 3’s last year. He was also 4 of 6 from the three point line against MSU, not a bad resume to bring to Ann Arbor.
Hey CMHCFB,
seems like it might be prudent to offer you a way to post comments in the future. I have no idea how to DM, but if you'd like to email me, its [myhandle but without the 01] at live dot com. You can prob shoot me an email if you want me to post a thread for you to hijack.
Thanks tasnyder01, but you’ve already fixed the problem for me. When I logged in last night the board looked completely different. There were thumbs up and thumbs down graphics on every comment, I could finally upvote. I clicked on my icon and points were showing as well as two new options, create a diary or post to McGo Board! In short, my account is fixed, point are accumulating and I can post. I assume that your post caught the eye of one of the mods and they found a way to fix my account. I really appreciate you going out of your way to create the threadjack post, thank you!
Dealio!!
But now half of the points you earn from now on are mine! (I believe that's how pyramid schemes work, right?!)
Deal! I didn’t know it was a pyramid scheme, I thought it was multi level marketing errr multi level MgoBlogging :)
AJ Henning, a top receiver recruit with blazing fast speed (4.46) is visiting UM this weekend and he will be joined by J.J. McCarthy who is on commitment watch. If McCarthy commits it will generate momentum and I’d expect him to be a leader in trying to recruit others for the class (2021)
You are one of my favorite posters already.
yeah, he looks like a solid 5*, future all-mogoblogger for sure
Maizen does not want
5* ?!! Thanks, but sadly (for me) I’ll only have a one day posting career. Tomorrow I’ll rejoin my 0 point brethren on the sidelines but at least tasnyder01 gave us a chance for a day, thanks TA.
Would be good to nab Henning and McCarthy and fire up Illinois recruiting a bit. We got Keegan last cycle but Chicago/Illinois seems to produce a lot less than it should for us. Harbaugh said on one of the AED podcasts a while back that they more or less think there should be 15 or 16 D-1 caliber football players per million people in a metro area. By that logic there should be well over 100 D-1 caliber guys in Metro Chicago. We've pulled 15 recruits in the last 19 years out of Illinois. Notre Dame and Wisconsin seem to pull more there, and the 2020 and 2021 classes seem to have more high end talent than in years past for the state. I think we lead for a 4 Star DT in the 2021 class in IL as well.
Thanks for the stats, I didn’t realize there had only been 15 recruits in the last 19 years from IL. Keegan was a huge get, any time you pull the top player out of a state you’re doing something right. I think Denver Warren is the 4* 2020 DT leaning towards UM. It feels like there is momentum coming from IL.
247 sports has lifetime stats for each team going back to 2000 re: state by state recruiting if you feel like digging into it
Warren was committed to UM, but has already decommitted months ago. If I remember correctly, it had the feeling of UM asking him to move on.
2021 kid - https://247sports.com/Player/Dominic-Bass-46051466/ obviously way to early for most 2021 recruits to even be discussed but we have the CB here so far.
Probably not post worthy, but the recruiting saga of Justin Rogers takes another turn. After a conversation with Nick Saban, his top 5 became a top 6. (Insert rolling eye emoji here)
After naming Michigan in his top five list two days ago, 4-star Oak Park offensive lineman Justin Rogers had “an amazing conversation” with Nick Saban from Alabama and put them in his brand new top six.
Likely further proof we won't be getting this kid. Smells like ESSEEECEE spirit.
If you have a few minutes to kill, the comments on his Tweet from UK fans are comedy gold ?
Thanks for the link, I couldn’t figure out how to post it. It’s really tough to pick a winner from those comments but the “we saw him first” might be the best of all.
I hate to be that guy but Kentucky offered him first and saw him when nobody else did. If he does that Kentucky you can count me out as a fan. Not my team but your word is your bond.
Wait, uk football has fans???
I was thinking the United Kingdom football fans.
I'm driving down to the UF vs UK game on sept. 13. My b-i-l is a UF grad and its one of the byes weeks so i figured why not. Anyone actually been to a UK game? whats the tailgate like?
Like I said in the Rogers thread, he is just setting his price, and let the bidding begin.
I’d prefer to get a Humpback Whale.
Did the "conversation" with nick include a fedex package from the state of alabama???
Long time lurker, very occasional responder here... this post just reminded me to log in and see how many points I have. I can finally post (happy face). I got nothing worth posting about (sad face)
I'd like to gauge the level of concern on the board for the MTSU game.....
Am I doing it right?
Level: elevated
I can finally tell you all how scared I am of Army. Yes!
So you called "concern" and raised it with "scared"?!
OP, can you elaborate on this part of your post?
...some users cannot post new threads until they receive the right to gain points on 5/25.*
Ah, the old hanging asterisk. It's there to notify those who aren't insiders (we who have 0 points) that there's inside information we don't have.
Sorry, meant 5025. As in, the year.
(Was gonna add a joke there for the other old timers who bitch about "the site needs to be fixed!!!", then realized "holy fuck, now *I'm* one of those guys. Hence my choice to elide it.)
Well shit, and here I thought there was something magical happening on the 25th of May.
You're certainly optimistic. I thought he had inside information about the fix that is coming in May, 2025.
Did you hear:
Keith Jackson died?
Every account is a Maizen account?
The circle game is racist?
I was tempted to threadjack but then remembered that can lead to hairy palms or blindness or something like that. So I'll just post this.
I'm in this thread to let it be known I don't really care about starting threads. lol.
Awesome M/Staee logo mixup.
Sparty disrespekt at its finest!

Tough week for tiny tom.
Looks like a compliment to me. Not sure what they feel disrespekted about.
For the record, Elno Lewis was the original "handle jacker" from the Halo Scan days. His frequent handlejackings lead to the termination of Halo Scan and its replacement with all stupid points-based systems that followed. Good commentary has deteriorated significantly every year since.
The monkey with a gun.
Don't mess with my sister.
