17 weeks 6 days ago	247 is a joke........	They're on par with ESPN (maybe a little lower) in terms of credibility......Green at 84?!  Really?!  He's the #1 RB at Scout and Rivals.......... Glad for Tremendous that he gets to break into the biz with them, but other than that, it's a waste of a recruiting site....
48 weeks 1 day ago	Well.....
49 weeks 6 days ago	Here's the updated one......
49 weeks 6 days ago	That's from the signature	of a guy on the Scout board...it's actually updated with #20 and all the star rankings...
51 weeks 2 days ago	That's what happens when	you have top ranked commits....other top programs will not stop recruiting them......Dawson's not going anywhere.......
1 year 10 weeks ago	Well..	The top 50 in Scout get 5*s and top 300 get 4*s......so if the rankings remain the same, we actually have 4 5*s and 8 4-stars right now.......ridiculous!
1 year 10 weeks ago	Done.	nt
1 year 10 weeks ago	thanks for the update......	not commited yet doesn't mean he won't soon still though, right.......
1 year 10 weeks ago	speaking of 12 year olds........	before you start bashing someone, why don't you take a few minutes and see what the guy's all about....how many 1 on 1 interviews he's done with top-rated recruits....that way you won't come off sounding like a complete tool.....unless that was your intention.....then in that case I apologize......
1 year 10 weeks ago	Why does there have to be	a bigger wow factor......the kid is a top LB.....and he was being recruited heavily by Meyer...and he's from the heart of Ohio.........that's a pretty big trifecta in recruiting-speak if you ask me.....
1 year 10 weeks ago	The guy is the author of this	http://thisismichiganfootball.blogspot.com/   and he posts on this site quite often.......he actually does some pretty good work for not being connected with any recruiting agencies...
1 year 24 weeks ago	Having lived in Italy for 4 years	and Germany now for 2 and counting, I can tell you that generalizations are often times there for a reason.......and in his post, he's right......Europeans don't tip (not rude--service peeps actualy make a real wage), Italians don't know what lines are and Germans are the most unhappy group of people I've ever met........
1 year 24 weeks ago	What's the chance MI admits him	on a non-athletic scholarship so he can be at MI after he finishes his HS and be close to the program.  Then, if he ever recovers enough to compete again, he's here....if not, he's able to achieve an outstanding education and move on with the rest of his life.....
1 year 24 weeks ago	For the record........	It was Mattison who recruited Tebow.........
1 year 25 weeks ago	Sounds like the true	definition of inconclusive evidence.....which means it shouldn't have been overturned......there are lots of pissed off peeps in Vegas who lost tons of $ on that BS call.......
1 year 25 weeks ago	Should have gone to the game and	sent him a fruit basket......and attach an empty sack to the outside which represents the fact his future wife now has his and will not relinguish them for the rest of his life.....I give em 2 years...3 tops....unless he enjoys wearing the dress in the family.....
1 year 26 weeks ago	Oklahoma will	get the Big 12 auto invite when they beat OK St......and MI will get an invite before a 2 loss in the last 3 Ok St team does...
1 year 26 weeks ago	That was great	timing actually.......well done!
1 year 39 weeks ago	More fuel for the fire?......	myguythetorg the torg   Ellis is listening to @CommonMan971+ wants 2 add he is bringing someone with him to indy that will back up his story along w/ the pics
1 year 39 weeks ago	My guess....	is the NCAA doesn't waste their time setting up an interview with some slimeball (and his lawyer mind you) unless they have a pretty good idea what he's going to say before hand....
1 year 43 weeks ago	Tom........does Luginbill	mean top 5 or 6 QB in the 2012 class or top 5 or 6 overall prospect in the class.....
1 year 45 weeks ago	As far as the flaps.........	The flaps being found in the retracted position is not that big of a deal.....especially for smaller aircraft......I flew many approaches with little/no flap extension.....allows me to fly a little faster and to be honest, depending on the plane, I thought it was a little more stable approach many times...... Also, if the pilot did start executing a missed approach, one of the first things he'd do after confirming the gear was up and there was a positive rate of climb, would be to retract the flaps so as to not over speed them..... So I wouldn't put much into the flap retracted issue......   Having said all that, retracted flaps certainly raises the stall speed and that in and of itself, could have contributed to the accident....
1 year 45 weeks ago	Air Force and Jetblue pilot......	To piggy back on some of the comments from the other pilots.......besides the fact he began the approach below mins, another critical mistake was that he stayed below the weather and attempted to remain visual with the airfield instead of executing a missed approach..... With weather at 200/1, that was well below any published circling minimums.......essentially, the weather would need to have a higher ceiling and/or better visibility in order to remain below the weather and attempt to land... If the information in the prelim report is accurate, he should have executed a "go around/missed approach" which is a published procedure that requires him to climb on certain headings to certain altitudes within certain DME or (miles) within the airfield or navigation equipment being used for the approach to keep the aircraft safe from known obtacles and terrain.... An easy and common and fatal mistake is to "break out" of the weather, see the ground and attempt to manuever visually to a position to execute a landing........ This comes with experience and requires discipline.  I hate second guessing ANY pilot especially after circumstances like this, but if anyone out there who may be interested in becoming a pilot, remember these incidents.....as we say in the Air Force, our emergency procedures are written in red--from the blood of those who have made mistakes before us.... Fly safe.
1 year 46 weeks ago	Too true...	It's poor technique to make suppositions as to what may or may not have happened until an entire investigation has been completed........ It's easy to sit in a "1-G" environment and guess as to what may or may not have happened.......but for the grace of God, go I.......... All pilots, if you've flown enough have had close call--whether it's for mechanical, weather or piloting issues....... Regardless of the reason for the crash--it's irrelevant to Hatch now........what's important is that he gets better--whether basetball is in his future or not is too, not as important as that he has the support of his friends and family to get through this difficult time.........
1 year 47 weeks ago	Ahhh....	Didn't realize that...well good on him for still competing.....that actually really says a lot about the kid......
1 year 47 weeks ago	Sooooooo	One interior guy left in this class......which means its either going to be Danny, or Pipkins, no?  Would be a bummer to have to pick one and not both......   BTW, did anyone else notice how Jaleel Johnson smoked Jordan Diamond a couple of times (sts) in that video......
1 year 48 weeks ago	It was 1 rep.....	and I wouldn't say he was "man handled"....Elmer certainly stopped him, but let's not get ahead of ourselves too much......
2 years 3 weeks ago	Thread Hijack....	Sorry, I don't have enough points to start a new thread but it looks like Gunner Kiel was on campus all day today......would take much (all) of the sting of not getting Pike if we landed him.....plus, we'd take him away from ND so it's a win-win......   Sorry for the hijack, but I though it was pretty good info.........
2 years 16 weeks ago	Silents.....	Silents are Willingham and Clark.......
2 years 20 weeks ago	Yeah because	there's no coaching uncertainty with an 84 year old head coach.......
