1 week 4 days ago	Not exactly the same	Not exactly the same situation. The state of Oklahoma has a pretty solid base of recruits every year, almost comparable to Michigan. Then there's Texas, its border state, which is one of the 3 biggest recruiting states in the country. Texas may be large and spread out, but Michigan's recruiting spread is very comparable to Oklahoma's spread. Nebraska is literally in the middle of nowhere.  Here's a list of Nebraska's border states: South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. You could maybe include Missouri, which is probably the best recruiting state among those remotely close to them (Missouri or Colorado). Not to mention that the state of Nebraska isn't exactly known for it's elite football either. Sure, some eliteish guys can pop up here and there, but not near as frequent as even states like Michigan or Oklahoma.  Short story: The current recruiting trend does not assist Nebraska in any way.
2 weeks 2 days ago	I think it's pretty cool how	I think it's pretty cool how they're all down to earth about it all and not super competive about which shool they ended up joining. I'm sure it isn't easy to develop relationships with guys you're walking around with on your unofficial visit that could end up taking the spot you covet. That's a lot of pressure for a 16 yr old kid, and they seemed to all take it pretty cool.

4 weeks 3 days ago	Please refer to USC 2013	Please refer to USC 2013 pre-explosive diarrhea. And just throwing it out there, but the "16-17" is what they have available right now - there is potential for a bigger class if (when) attrition happens. I will also state that all recruiting sites rank classes differently, so some sites are a lot tougher to grasp that #1 spot with a smaller class than others. THERE IS A CHANCE I SAY. EDIT: What WoodChuck said.
4 weeks 3 days ago	The reason I wouldn't worry	The reason I wouldn't worry about this is the fact that Beilein is really good at making changes if necessary. If his initial plan isn't working as he'd hoped, he won't just sit on it and hope the team improves individually if better options are available. College basketball is a game where multiple lineups work, particularly situational lineups. Some games might work best with McGary at the 4 while other match ups might ask for more athleticism, and Beilein has proven to understand this (especially this past season). Not worried about it at all.
5 weeks 3 hours ago	I agree, which is why I said	I agree, which is why I said "potential." Regardless, Hand+Peppers+Malik>Treadwell+Isaac (in my opinion). The fact that we're even in the top three of the top two players in the country is just further evidence that Hoke is changing the tide in the rivalry, not to mention jersey sales in Ohio.
5 weeks 5 hours ago	It's early, but it feels	It's early, but it feels like our class has the potential to look like USC's epic class from last year prior to it's epic crash (small but loaded).
5 weeks 21 hours ago	I am going to go ahead and	I am going to go ahead and say that if we don't get one of either Hand or Peppers, you will see the return of the 'meme.' And not from me, just to clarify. Losing out on highly ranked prospects tend to bring out the worst in the extremely diehard 'I follow recruiting way too closely' fan base.
5 weeks 4 days ago	Wow.	Wow.
5 weeks 6 days ago	I don't know about you, but I	I don't know about you, but I watched the whole game from start to finish on CBS. I saw some shots of the Fab 5 and a heard a few discussions, but I didn't miss one second of the game or feel slighted in the least because they attended. The cameras were on the game when they needed to be on the game, and the commentators knew they were commentating a basketball game and not a Fab Five reunion piece.  If you had troubles focusing on the game because they were in attendance and were getting too much "attention" (in your opinion), my guess is you are taking this situation way too personally. Enjoy the game, man. This thing doesn't happen often enough to let something take away from you the excitement of this experience.

11 weeks 3 days ago	I will admit.. I NEARLY	I will admit.. I NEARLY created a new account just minutes after I created my first one due to the fact that I couldn't figure out why in the world I created a username that not only states my real name but also begins with "Corky;" I have no idea what I was on at the time. I'm committed, though, and I plan on riding this thing to the end.
11 weeks 4 days ago	Well, my first hunch was	Well, my first hunch was Coach Brown, but since you said it's "probably not who I think"... I guess that means I must go with my second hunch, which would be Rich Rod.  I think it would be interesting to analyze the population of Boliva (as well as mgoaccount creations) during Rich Rod's regime. I'm going to go out on a limb and say... records were broken.

12 weeks 4 days ago	Good to know. The two always	Good to know. The two always confused me. Thank you for that piece of information. I think I've learned more grammatical and spelling lessons over the few years of mgoblog reading than I have in all my years of English classes. Sometimes I feel like there's a grading scale attached to each post.
