You're probably right for some but it probably goes in reverse for other players. I can see some players that went for a bag the first time around ending up at places that aren't really good fits for them. They realize that and now want to go somewhere that will develop them and utilize their skillset more.
It is getting dumb but I think this one makes sense. He went to Oklahoma because of the offensive coordinator (who was his old coach at Central FL) so it makes sense for him to also follow that same coach to Miss State.
I thought about the same thing. I know there was another Ravens defensive coach that just went to UCLA last year as their D Coordinator. UCLA's defense got a lot better this year, maybe that's a possibility, especially if Chip Kelly gets canned. They seem to love him there
Maybe he just decided to up and delete his account. But that would be odd for a college coach who is actively recruiting HS football players - we know that most of them are on the app. I hope that you're right and there's nothing to worry about.
I think a lot of it is geographic location. The Big 12 is located in states that love college football. I live in northern California and I can tell you that people don't give a shit about college football here. Without USC and UCLA, the Pac 12 may struggle to get viewers because the sport is not as big on the west coast.
I’d add the Kordell Stewart Colorado game to this list. That was a hard watch, but it may be therapeutic to go back, take another look, and re-live it with you guys.
You're probably right, you're looking at role players with those picks but the more picks you get, the more chances to hit on a really good player. Jimmy Butler ,Rudy Gobert, and Jordan Poole all went late 1st round.
In the michiganinsider article that came out this weekend, he stated that he plans on leaving next year.
The article said “I’m just trying to go to the League after this year,” he said. “Trying to get drafted first round after this year. It’s in God’s plan for me — whatever that may be. If I have to come back another year, that’s God’s plan for me. My plan right now is to go to the NFL after this upcoming year.”
Hey, don't blame my team. The Rams are without their QB, two best WRs, best 2 safeties, best defensive player and a number of offensive linemen. Can't overcome both that and the refs.
Agreed, he could really be a star at a MAC school or somewhere like Louisiana. But with those offers I doubt he goes there. Miami could use all the help they can get and I could see him fitting in with Oklahoma’s offense.
I hope you're right. Yeah, they do it for the SEC, but will they do it for the Big 10? If we play OSU in the second game of the playoff, that's fine, but right out the gate is too soon
I really thought the receivers would be much better than this. Guys aren't getting open and when they do they don't catch the ball outside of Ronnie Bell (I know CJ had a couple key catches today but he's had his struggles too). These same receivers made plays last year so I'm starting to believe that it's coaching. You would think WR would be Bellamy's area of expertise.
Clemson is hanging out with utah at number 9. They’ve been unimpressive all year and don’t play anyone that can bump them up in the rankings. They’re not passing Michigan if the osu game is close
It’s not always favoritism, there’s really not that many good teams this year and this is one of those years where the SEC is clearly the best conference. Everyone in the Big 10 is bad outside of the top 3, ACC is bad, big 12 has one team. Usc’s defense is well below average. They played two teams in the top 25, lost to one and almost lost to the other. With the way LSU is playing, like it or not the SEC has 3 really good teams
Nobody’s asking for a Mike Leach offense. We just want to see a competent passing attack yo go with the run game. We’ll need it if we plan on winning a playoff game
I’m a a Rams fan, and even if they won, I’d say that game was absolute trash. Probably not any worse than your average Big 10 west game this year, but college football is so much more fun.
You’re right but 2009 was a different era of college football when voters still put in ballots for other positions outside of qb. That just doesn’t happen anymore.
Vance Bedford (former UM def coordinator) tweeted that Michigan was playing "cloud" defense on Keon Coleman after those two receptions. I'm not sure what that is but we'll probably hear about it in the UFR.
Agreed, I hate this model where we play the same team from the opposite division 6 years in a row. If we’re going to do that, make it MN more times than not. I guess it’s a moot point since we’ll be switching things up once USC and UCLA come over
MSU vs UM was one of the top rated games last year. Yeah, MSU is not as good, but there's some intrigue there since the good guys are 0-2 against Tucker. I don't think Gameday is coming to Ann Arbor but the game will do good ratings.
He'll get some criticism for a few throws but you're right, his ability to pick up a first down with his legs is critical for this offense. He'll keep getting better. On to MSU
Andrel Anthony gets one touch and only one touch per game. I'm not complaining, this isn't a game were you should be putting the ball up 30 times, it's just odd. On touch, no more, no less
I live on the west coast and have no problem watching 9am games, comes with the territory. A noon game at Kinnick is much easier than a night game. I think the scheduling gods may give us a break here, let’s accept it.

The article says that there were “some hurdles” to getting him academically admitted but they were likely specific to Notre Dame.

Deleted, didn't save in the correct convo

I doubt he goes to a smaller school. I see from his twitter account that he’s already received offers from Miami, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Pitt.
What happened to the coaches room where the coaches discussed what's goin on on the field? That was the only alternative that I liked.
Dru Down had a couple good songs. Saw him in a recent interview a week ago. He’s older and was so intoxicated, it was hard to watch.

I’ve been in California for the last 20 years. I say soda, but I know deep down it’s pop.
Colorado joined the Pac 12 over a decade ago. But your point still kinda stands with USC and UCLA leaving.
I hope you're right. Yeah, they do it for the SEC, but will they do it for the Big 10? If we play OSU in the second game of the playoff, that's fine, but right out the gate is too soon
You summed up my feelings exactly. And I miss the Rose Bowl. I went to the last one against Texas and can’t wait to go back one of these years
Some pretty good Michigan celebrations in this game. McKeon was in the wack-a-mole TD celebration, and then Micah Parsons did the Mo Hurst belly rub

I don't know about elite but I agree he has the chance to be a great back. I've been on the Stokes train since early on too
Yeah but I think they'll be back soon. Plus we've got Ronnie Bell. I'd be great if just one more guy could step up.

Big Balls Brian Kelly
You’re right but 2009 was a different era of college football when voters still put in ballots for other positions outside of qb. That just doesn’t happen anymore.
Agreed, but I think that Orji could actually be a difference maker in the red zone so I hope they save him for a more important game.
Livers vs Poole, sounds like a European soccer match.

Only three so far, according to the poster who keeps track of those things
Any particular reason why he’s an asshole?
They may have told Milton he’d be the starter once he got there. If so I’m sure they gave him every opportunity possible before moving on

I’m still waiting for that PepCat pass to come.
Park and ride. Just take the Expo line next time
WolverinesWire had Barnhart, Keegan, and Edwards listed as suiting up, NHG and Eric All as out.
And just scored again
Haha, sounds that way right? Actually a pretty good game and UCLA's started to take control. They're leading 16-10
Maybe for Rolder. But I read somewhere that he's mostly plaid on special teams. That could be where the coaches see his value this year.
If getting fleeced means winning a Super Bowl, please fleece me every year from here on out.
Personally, I think it’s about time for another Michael Barrett thread
