Maryland defensive back Blake Countess (5'10", 171 lbs, 4 Star) was offered by Michigan today. This via his twitter feed:
Good Day, Momma always said good things come to those who wait. Got a call today from Michigan.#offered
I'll have more on him in the weekly update, but here's his highlight video as well.
come on down
Im salavating thinknig about
Im salavating thinknig about the corner situation in a few years being Cullen as a senior on one side and a junior Countess on the other.

I just saw 'junior',
I just saw 'junior', 'senior', and 'corner' in the same sentence and thought I died and went to heaven.
Go Baby Go
Well next year its probably
Well next year its probably going to be 5th year senior Woolfolk and junior Floyd manning the CB positions.
Speaking of Cullen, I dont recall seeing him on the field much lately. More Avery and Talbott action.

Given the way things have gone
I would not be surprised to see Woolfolk at deep safety when he returns.
Byron Moore...please come on
Byron Moore...please come on down. I'd like to see TWolf stay at corner.
What's up with B. Moore?
any news on Byron Moore? Adding him and Woolfolk next seaosn would be great. Maybe better if we can get him on campus for the spring right????
Watching effective safety play in the Bama/LSU game made me a little sad, but a playmaker at that position could be the single most important pick up in our defense.
Well played Sir!
Well played Sir!
hmm..
yeah, it does read well, doesn't it. I'll take 2!
I see why you have -120 (and
I see why you have -120 (and counting) points.
So you are telling me that
So you are telling me that you know more than the morons on the recruiting sites that ranked him a 4 star? You are not only annoying but dumb. Great combination.
hmmmm
Michigan, Arkansas, GT, Stanford, Pitt, UT, UVA, WVU, Wisconsin, among others.... Yea, everyone is ignoring this kid... He should probably be a 1 star
You're right
I forgot that the only good players are those who've been offered by Florida and USC. It is inconceivable that a 4 star player might not have an offer from "powerhouse" schools. But maybe you know more than all 3 major recruiting services that have ranked him as a 4 star prospect.
Oh?
I'll give you one guess for how many players from Maryland are on either FSU or Miami... It starts with Z and ends with ero... I wasn't aware that a player's star ratings were determined by who has offered him, and not his ability. Thanks for setting me straight hombre.
I am guessing he won't answer
I am guessing he won't answer that. He is too busy trolling and getting kicked off the site.
LOFL!!!
LOFL!!!
You're HIV-Aladeen.
his star rating obviously
his star rating obviously have nothing to do with who offered him, but it's a good indication of how good he might be. id trust coaches with NC's over rival our scout "experts" on a players ability. i think that's the point. everybody take a deep breath....
So in conclusion
If a player isn't offered by one of college football's elite, he isn't deserving of a 4 star rating, and/or he doesn't have potential?
You and your poop mouth
"website idiot's just evaluate them to get boners like you excited."
Football guru AND master of the English language? Color me impressed.
one misplaced apostrophe is
one misplaced apostrophe is surely worth ridiculing. why does everybody act like they're masters of the english language on this board? i love this site and yes it bothers me when people misspell "their" "there" "to" "too" or whatever. it happens, everyone makes spelling/grammar mistakes from time to time.
and im not saying bleuadams isnt being a bit of a dick- but shit man, it's like you guys are completely closed to what his actual point is when in reality, we've seen proof supporting parts of it for the last few years. hence, "the decimated defense" and the fact that not all highly rated prospects pan out.
and btw- nobody's a recruiting expert here. its just people with opinions.
Calvin Johnson was a 4 star
Calvin Johnson was a 4 star and 37th ranked player nationally...hardly a 3 star!

The #1 player in MD, a five
The #1 player in MD, a five star, has an offer from Miami and no one else from Florida (in case you didn't know, that would include Florida and Florida State). I can't believe every school in Florida isn't recruiting him. The #2 player, a high 4 star, has 0 offers from any Florida school. The #3 and #4 players also have 0 offers from any school in Florida and are both 4 stars.
I would also like to add that a couple years ago, Miami coaches came out and seaid they did very little actual recruiting and mainly used rivals and scout ratings to decide who to give offers to. Great points douchebag.
This has been fun
This has been fun bleuadams... we should do this more often. Totally worth the 10 points I just lost on you.
and when I say lost what I
and when I say lost what I really mean is... totally worth the joy it brought to slam that "down arrow" each and everytime I saw another post of yours.
So by your logic
So by your backwards logic every recruit at USC, Florida, Bama, etc. deserves a 4th or 5th star due to the mere fact that school was interested? What a thoughtful analysis - you're talent analysis skills are rivaled by those of only Matt Millen.

Wow you are a loser

The kid has a fair number of offers from major programs
Per rivals.
Leave
Bleuadams, please leave the board as you are a complete and total idiot. Everyone on this blog is now dumber having read your posts...I award you no points, and my BO have mercy on your soul. The real question is, why have we not offered this kid sooner?
Does this constitute as an
Does this constitute as an instaban?
Or
He is a UM fan? Or maybe he only has offers from the south and wants to go north? There could be many reason that we would jump to the top of his list.
I hope he has a 99 Injury
I hope he has a 99 Injury rating. I'm just sayin'.
I got 99 injuries
but an ACL ain't one.

question
Curious. Why did we wait until November to offer a 4 star guy? We've entered the backup offering time of year and this guy is no Plan B.
Playing hard to get. You know
Playing hard to get. You know you want them. They know you want them. You just gotta try to make them think you might not want them so they want you more.

Mgopoints may impress those of us on the board, I am afraid they also might be a stronger indication of why you "never get girls". Just sayin.
Hahaha.
Actually, in my experience, it's not the amount of time I spend on MGoBlog that's the problem, it's the fact that I'm constantly jabbering about it even when I'm not here. :)

Maybe they didn't think they had that good of a shot at this kid? That'd be the only thing I can think of.

There could be a lot of reasons
Grades, test scores, other troubles.... Just look at all the crazy shit our players and recruits have run into the past few years.

Pretty sure Taylor Lewan
Pretty sure Taylor Lewan wasn't on UM's radar until November as well. That worked out.
yeah..
Maryland isn't a hot recruiting area, and most choose ACC schools or Penn State. However with our needs I figured someone would've noticed him and every other 4 or 5 star defensive back in the country and offerered them.
Please?

I think he's on the same HS as Josh Furman
Lets go Furman! Pull a Ricardo and get this kid here!!!
Nope, Josh Furman went to Old Mill.
Jelani Jenkins (LB, Florida) went to Our Lady Of Good Counsel, though.
