TomVH on Grand Rapids radio discussing recruiting w/ Sean Baligian
I didn't see this posted and the title pretty much says it all but they discuss how recruiting has blown up via social media, recruit ratings, basketball and the 2013 football class.
It's worth a listen and it's TomVH...

Tom is great at interacting with board posters on the ESPN MDen Forum and doesn't act like a jackass like The Beaver does on Scout.
Sean is pretty annoying about recruiting. He spent a whole show in February saying how good recruiting doesn't guarantee success. Well duh, Sean, who the hell ever said it does?

One of my favorite (the favorite?) Baligian moves is when he repeats the same thing six or seven times, and is practically muttering to himself by the end.
At least he's not Simonson, though that ain't sayin' much.

This is the first time I have heard Sean. My first impression is that, somewhere in his home, he has built an altar dedicated to the sound of his own voice and worships it five times a day.

Pretty sure Terp wanted out. He was sick of not getting a word in. Sean would talk 75% of the time. Sean is a hack with out a doubt. "It is what it is".
Hold me TomVH

....with most of the comments above, I stopped listening to Sean because he is a complete idiot and diehard Sparty who doesn't understand logic if it him in the face...that being said I will still listen to it since Tom VH will be on and hopefully bring some enlightenment to Sean's 3rd grade comprehension level

He's super condescending and assumes all fans are idiots. When Michigan lost to Ohio this year he kept saying, "It's ok Michigan fan. You weren't going to win every game." Meanwhile everyone calling in was saying, "Yeah, we weren't going to win every game, not a big deal." So who is he talking to?
I just can't stand the guy. Not because he's a Sparty, but because he's a condescending douche.

Ok, well what's your take on his use of FACTS? Like how recruiting rankings don't matter because Texas is bad and Boise is good?
If he wanted to make the argument that recruiting rankings are not the be-all end-all and that people take them too seriously, that'd be fine. My problem with him is that he shoots down the assertion that they mean anything at all because Texas and Boise exist. It's just a stupid, ignorant stance when there are countless articles, rife with FACTS that state otherwise.
So you think it's better to RS a 2 star than have Jabrill Peppers or Dashawn Hand play right away.
