William Gholston decommits from MSU
Looks to go to Alabama. That's a pretty big blow to MSU's class. Wasn't he the centerpiece?

RichRod is an offensive minded coach that is very innovative on that side of the ball, also he is known for finding diamonds in the rough when it comes to recruiting.
Saban is an equally good and innovative defensive minded coach. He is also known for hoarding more diamonds than Zales when it comes to recruiting.

You are the biggest idiot in the whole entire world. You just compared a 13-0 coach in a strong SEC to a 5-7 coach in a down B10. If you think Michigan will out Alabama in 2 years you are truly mistaken. Maybe there is sarcasm in your post that I am not picking up.
December 25th, 2009 at 10:46 PM ^
Why would you say anything like that when you have nothing but a record to back you up. Look at the recruiting classes and the redshirted freshys we had last year and this year. Players that fit his system are now in play. Just shut up and go to hell

maybe it's just the Michigan snob in me but I just don't get how someone from the state of Michigan considers MSU and anyone else except Michigan. I can understand wanting to go to Alabama, LSU, or UF but to consider MSU AND those schools AND NOT Michigan is laughable. I understand he may have some connections there or his HS does but I still don't understand not even considering UM.
go blue.
December 25th, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
It's the same reason someone from past years could consider Michigan but not MSU in basketball, like Manny Harris. Some kids just grow up loving one school and hating the other. I see no issue in it.

it's just the michigan snob in you

Gholston was the jewel of the recruiting class; Bullock might of had the same number of stars but I don't see him being as good as Gholston. Sparty took a huge hit on this one...
December 25th, 2009 at 8:09 PM ^
"Make no mistake we will dethrone Alabama in at least two years. I think that fundamentally RichRod is a better coach than Saban where Saban is the better recruiter by a close margin."
We as in MICHIGAN? I love the Maize n Blue, however, two years we will not be DETHRONING 'Bama... Ingram will be theire SENIOR RB and Saban will land all his recruits... RR needs to learn how to win Big Games before we "Dethrone" anyone.
2004-2005: VT...
2006: Louisville.....
2007: 5-7 PITT?!?!?!
2008: Wisconsin? Getting there. 500th game in the Big House. First win for RR against UW.
2009: ND? Kind of, but Not really.
2010... UCONN is a HUGE game for RR and this team...

Rookie salary cap in NFL may be in place by 2012. No need to stay and possibly take a pay cut.
December 25th, 2009 at 9:13 PM ^
the sugar bowl against heavily favored georgia, in atlanta mind you, wasn't a big game? you could make that same list for pete carroll every year to say he's not a big game coach, doesn't make it any more true than what you attempted to do.
December 25th, 2009 at 10:50 PM ^
Pete Carroll is more of a big game guy, not a little game guy. I mean come on, Washington? Oregon State? really?
December 25th, 2009 at 8:24 PM ^
Wow, this stinks if you're a Spartan fan. They just lost their biggest baddest recruit that would have been sacking a lot of quarterbacks. Maybe he'll make the smart decision and become a Buckeye like his older brother, that is if he wants rings.
December 25th, 2009 at 8:39 PM ^
Brother?
Grow a clue?
December 25th, 2009 at 8:50 PM ^
by brother, he means Vernon Gholston
December 25th, 2009 at 8:55 PM ^
except they are cousins.
December 25th, 2009 at 11:07 PM ^
ohio aren't cousins usually brothers also???
December 26th, 2009 at 12:43 AM ^
oh, didnt know that.
December 25th, 2009 at 8:54 PM ^
jim tressel went to jared?
December 25th, 2009 at 8:52 PM ^
this is not official. only rumors, right?
ive looked at the only colors, rivals, and a few random alabama blogs and didnt see anything about this...
December 25th, 2009 at 9:02 PM ^
Yeah ESPN Rivals and Scout all still have him committed.. You may not agree with their rankings but they're at least on the ball when it comes to breaking news. Someone needs to verify this, say from I don't know, Gholston?
December 25th, 2009 at 9:01 PM ^
Would be a homosexual if he commits to OSU. MSU is one thing, Alabama is another. But to commit to OSU is just downright homo.
December 25th, 2009 at 9:16 PM ^
meltdown
December 25th, 2009 at 9:38 PM ^
Because OSU is a school composed solely of homosexuals, right?
God you need to get a clue. How about you save yourself the embarrassment and quit posting for the night.
December 25th, 2009 at 9:46 PM ^
Can we please leave sexual orientation out of it slash not use the term "homosexual" and/or "gay" in a derogatory tone?
Thank you! 3
December 25th, 2009 at 10:32 PM ^
ski masks.
December 26th, 2009 at 9:55 AM ^
I like that allot! Nice work, section 1.
December 26th, 2009 at 12:58 AM ^
Take it easy, Champ. Why don't you stop talking for a while?
December 26th, 2009 at 12:43 AM ^
Would going to Notre Dame make him bi-curious?
December 26th, 2009 at 8:58 AM ^
How would he be a homo? I've never seen him in any homo-erotic stuff.
December 25th, 2009 at 9:09 PM ^
Well it is just rumors at this point and we have had our fair share of recruits decommitting and causing us bad PR and pain, so I won't take joy in their pain.
The SEC is doing really well in recruiting...unfortunately.
December 25th, 2009 at 9:14 PM ^
I will take pleasure in their pain!
December 26th, 2009 at 1:06 AM ^
das ist schadenfreude
December 25th, 2009 at 9:21 PM ^
I won't take any joy, but I will chuckle... and hope that U-M suffers no serious decommits.
December 25th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
the players they recruit play all year round and are in their backyard. The big ten should get some credit for getting some of the players that they do and the ones that are from upper U.S need more credit also. If they grew up in flordia or alabama they would be 2*. just sayin
December 25th, 2009 at 9:24 PM ^
Is this the same source that said Izzo to Alabama?
December 25th, 2009 at 10:06 PM ^
Carrol does lose the BIG games... Texas? the only real BIG game coaches are Urban and Saban... sure they lose some games... but they don't constantly choke like Stoops, RR, Tressel, and Carroll... and when I say big game... I mean where his team is favored to win, when RR is the underdog, he does Damage. UGA and (even though he wasn't the HC) CHOKE-lahoma... WVU destroyed teams when they weren't even given a serious look at.
RR is a competent coach, and I do have faith in him. I just don't see him bringing a NC to Michigan. Maybe a few B10 titles... but teams like Iowa, OSU, MSU, and PSU are going to control the Big Ten bc they have the size. If RR can recruit big linemen and still run his offense, then Michigan makes a case to look like 2007 Oregon and do a LOT of damage to teams...
December 25th, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
Saban's squad is favored against Texas and lost to Utah last year. I wouldn't be holding my breath on Saban not "choking" right now.
As for RR, do you honestly think he won't bring in big linemen like Oregons'? Do you think he's watching other games than you are, or the trip slightly north made him forget how to coach? Honestly, you people amaze me sometimes.
December 25th, 2009 at 10:35 PM ^
Rich Rod is an evil genius who hates Michigan. He has skillfully crafted a master plan to become Michigan's head coach simply so he can destroy the program, stand atop the wreckage and say, "Ha! I got you good you fuckers!"
...also, what do you mean "you people?"
December 25th, 2009 at 10:51 PM ^
but your 1) MGoName and 2) avatar persuaded me to do just the opposite
December 25th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
Thanks, I guess. Glad to hear that you were persuaded by the power of the polar bear
December 26th, 2009 at 12:55 AM ^
You joined MGoBlog on 08-08-08. That's gotta be good luck(888) right?
December 26th, 2009 at 1:18 AM ^
See the date/time of the start of the Beijing Olympics. They began on 8/8/08 at 8 seconds past 8:08 local time.
If I remember correctly, eight signifies wealth/prosperity. =)
December 26th, 2009 at 12:45 AM ^
what do YOU mean "you people"?
December 26th, 2009 at 1:32 AM ^
I think we need to have a house meetin y'all
December 26th, 2009 at 2:22 PM ^
What the hell? I'm the only other person who gets a Tropic Thunder reference? That was like my favorite scene from the movie, other than crazy Tom Cruise dancing.
December 28th, 2009 at 12:28 PM ^
It's also a Chappelle Show reference FWIW.
December 25th, 2009 at 11:08 PM ^
The only thing MSU is going to control is the Detroit media and the local jails. You're drunk off your ass on eggnog if you think they're going to control anything on the football field with Sam the Eagle running the show.
December 26th, 2009 at 5:35 AM ^
I am trying to find a picture of that muppet.
Embarrassingly funny reference to have known.
Very nice.
