At first I thought signing him was a good idea but it doesn't sound like he will fit in with the team too well.
i dont see will campbell but i see cj olinyan
Hes on there. Right above Olinyan actually.
At first I was a supporter of Paulus coming in, but with all this chaos now surrounding the program I no longer feel like it's a good idea. Slightly OT are the two program just that much different or have times just changed that quickly, I don't remember USC going through any of this when Mitch Mustain transferred. I don't remember hearing that Sanchez had any problem or that the program felt any kind of way about the possibility of a 5 star QB coming in with the goal of being a starter.
There is no chaos. Paulus has created this media uprising. The members of the media and this blog postings assumed Rich Rod offered him a scholarship when that has not yet happened. Paulus will have to go in and work for it. The words "offer to compete" are operative here. I think this is all very funny. I also think that if the Internet didn't exist, this would not have been a story.
Thomas Gordan is there too. Guess they like Forcier and got his back. This is sort of a good thing if Paulus doesnt come here but if he does...?
Good. Maybe this will act as a deterrent from this or any other dumb idea happening again.
I don't see how this is good at all. I know that they are kids, but I wish they knew how unprofessional and damaging this is.
I'm glad the team has Tate's back but I wish it was shown in a positive way or in this novel approach: in practice and on the field.
I wonder if anyone on the staff monitors this stuff?
Also, is anyone aware of college team backlashing against a recruit? I'm sure it has but things are quite different in the facebook age.

agreed. going on a facebook tirade looks pretty immature. i know the guys are all 17-19 but they should know that they have to keep it a little controlled when you're under the spotlight

are completely out of touch
Could you please tell us the source from which you gained this insight?
i'll guess that one was partly for me. i don't see anything wrong with thinking that our freshman can think a little before they post stuff on facebook. they have to know that people look at them all the time especially if you accept friend requests from half of michigans fanbase
This reminds me of the scene in "Miracle" in which the teammates say "We're a family!" so that the coach boots the guy who only recently joined the team.
Campbell is also in a group named "Denard Robinson is the future of Michigan football." Hope Tate doesn't know.
Facebook should be shut down. We'd all get along just fine.

Well, "maturity" isn't something I expect out of an 18-year old. Campbell has just confirmed that belief.

Does this remind anyone else of Adam Banks trying to join the Ducks?
April 17th, 2009 at 10:44 AM ^
I like the Miracle analogy better. Adam Banks had always been playing and for a rival team. Michigan and Duke aren't rivals. And Banks technically should have been on the team in the first place
In Miracle, the player joined the team shortly before the Olympics. He was not practicing with them, and they had no idea the coach might bring him in.
I can't believe I just wasted a few minutes considering this.
April 17th, 2009 at 11:02 AM ^
True - Miracle is a good comparison also. Paulus is a cake eater though.
April 17th, 2009 at 12:17 PM ^
I can't believe that no one mentioned that one #1 recruit Seantrel Henderson is also in that group.
With my sweatervest-y fanship tendencies, that makes me very nervous. Oh well, maybe that's not the real Seantrel Henderson.

Maybe thye joined this group months ago? I didn't click link, but maybe this group was made long time ago.
Hell, if I was a star bball player and I didn't like, say... Tim Tebow. Why not join fuck tim tebow group. What are the odds something like this happens?(Paulus to Michigan).
What if pryor joined oregon basketball in few yrs? Everyone would like him there again.

And Obama. And Pee Wee Herman.
CJ Olaniyan? Why?
I also noticed Marcus Lattimore on the group?
