Would love Favors or Cousins (even with issues. The guy has the size, talent and potential to get even better).
They will both be gone by the time the Pistons pick though. Wall (obviously), Favors, Cousins and Turner will all be taken for sure.
I want the Pistons to take Greg Monroe if he is still there. He's a big who will fill a position of need. He may be the most all-around skilled big man in the draft and he's a lefty big who has the passing skills and court awareness of a PG. Love that the offense ran through him at Georgetown. His only crticisms are basically that "he didn't take over games", but that is more a function of the Princeton style, team oriented offense that didn't necessarily highlight any one player.
IMO, he is the best player left for the Pistons to take after the other 5 are gone.
I like Wes Johnson too. Only knock is he is at a position where we have enough people. However, if Monroe is gone and Johnson is there, you take him.
Nope, can't blame him at all. They have the NC cache and Saban can recruit.
Interesting how OSU has been losing out on the top player and players recently in the state. Only have had the top player once since 07 and got shut out of the top 4 last recruiting cycle.
That's what I figured. Most of these recruits only have what, 10-12 solid years of following college football to draw from.
I wasn't sure if a lot of them took the time to actually research the past and a programs history. Obviously childhoodd fans or ones with SERIOUS interest would, but wasn't sure in general with recruits.
Agreed. However things shake out this Summer and into the Fall, I think we can be pretty certain RR will field the best players that are availabe at the point of the UCONN game.
At the same time, everybody will have a chance to prove themselves week to week. The best available will be on the field each week barring injury, discipline, etc.
He IS! You know why???? He has obver FIVE THOUSAND!!! You're almost there!!!! Just put in a lot of hard work...and keep the spellng errors to an absolute minimum!
It was turned into a beating a dead horse thread by others who claim to hold themselves up to "policing" with an air of "high standards".
People will say they don't want to read or participate in the thread, yet will turn it into a deahorse thread.
Kind of defeats the purpose of what is trying to be done.
If a thread is not wanted or accepted, simply have a mod delete it. Then you won't have threads turning into this and taking up space. Then if you want to see cat pictures, just create an OT thread.
Wolv, I never insulted anybody, except to respond and discuss about why, if someone didn't like the thread, why even contribute in responding to the thread.
The sarcasm, the insults, the junk abbout the points and spellingerrors (which really have NOTHING to do with anything) the pics were all started by others.I will simply follow the direction the post takes.
People shouldn't get upset at others and degenrate a thread after spewing stuff about "policing". You make yourself look stupid by "policing" a topic that DOES pertain to Michigan, but let everybody elses attempt at humor and hi-jacking the thread go by the way-side. Doesn't make much sense.
But it has helped so many people to make a difference in life and give and neg points. It's brought out some of the most brilliant of posts from people with THOUSANDS OF POINTS! THAT'S the standard they are ALL tryin g to defend!
Posts about people with an agenda against Michigan=BADD
Now I see I'm down to 156 points. What does this all mean!?!?!?! It's supposed to do something, right? You wouldn't be doing it if it were for nothing, correct???
Becareful johnvand. The "gang" is going to get together and NEG you, because apparently there have been 150 other posts about the same subject today and they will be upset at the fact they were compelled to read and respond to something that they don't want to.
So, steviebrown, since my mgopoints have gone back up 15 now in the last 2 minutes, after going down 15 5 minutes ago, does that mean I win> What do I win? High score. Did I beat it? Does that mean I have a bigger member? Do I not need to be "policed" now?
Haha, Meltdown? it's a message board. The people here who take the time to bitch about certain threads indicate a meltdown. I just posted something. A few peopl cried about it being there after theu clicked on it, and well, yeah, I'll respond to some of the posts. That's why they're there...a little back and forth.
If posting a thread about DeFran and his comments is such a huge problem, delete my account. Seriously. I understand the concept of policing, but when a thread does pertain to the program, I think some of you like to take your 'responsibilities" too seriously. If I am a cronic poster of the same stuff over and over, I'd understand. But you some of you seem to get off at bitching.
lol, have I no shame? Have you no shame in the fact you actually checked? Why cares? Hell, I'll down vote my posts if it will provide meaning for you and make you feel better.
I read the board. There are FAR more threads about other things than the opinions/comments/reports from writers, show hosts and others. It's not like this place is inundated withe them.
If there were 3 other threads about Defran before mine, I'd understand. You're bitching just to bitch. You're not forced to read them.
How am I or others supposed to know what has been done to death? What does "done to death" even mean specifically? Furthermore, should we care you don't want to see it?
Simply put, the things that are said from people like DeFran are indictative of what is around this program and unfortuanely that it is not letting up. Like it or not, it is a snap shot on the reality of where the program is right now and that has an affect on all involved.
Easy solution, DON'T READ IT. You spend time reading about and posting about a thread you don't want to see. WTF? Skip it! There are 1,000 other threads to peak your interest. Hey look. There's one about Warren not being drafted. I'm sure your thoughts there will be insightful and welcomed.
So I'm not mistaken, aside from my spelling errors which have left some of you feeling sore, some of you have never and will never bring up or particpate in a thread about a writer, reporter or hosts opinions and/or comments that are timely and pertain to the subject that this web-site and board are based on?
The next time someone blatantly cuts the program or exhibits bias against it, I'm not supposed to bring it up with fellow fans on this board? Does this also apply to positive opinions?
Nobody had an opinion or wrote something here about Rosenberg, Sharp, Birckett, etc.?
I assume, since some ofyou have made your point, you will never feel the need to particpate in an open message board and thread about similar subjects.
I think giving useless crap it's own post highlights that thee is still alot of ills and negativity being thrown towards this program and can shed light on the inner-workings of what's really going on.
Understand something. Defran is not just voicing and opinion. He's CARRYING OUT AN AGENDA. I think it is important that people recognize this.
I am just bringing up his obvious agenda on a Michigan-centric board.
It's not schtick either. The guy really has it out against RR and will do what he can on a public forum to get his views across.
Apologies if this has rubbed somany people the wrong way, but I figure it is timely considering what's been going on and EVERYBODYs distaste for the Rosenbergs, Sharp's, etc.
Then, like people will tell me to change the station....don't read the thread.
Sorry if you think there is no place for a thread about a Michigan radio hosts comments and joy in them. If you don't think there should be and it's THAT much of an issue, just tell Brian to make a rule stating that these threads are not allowed so they don't become a thread about how you don't like them.
But I realize I can't live in a vacuum. Of course there will be negative talk about Michigan...especially right now. He has his negtive opinion. Fine. No issues. I just find it humorous about how happy he sounds in relaying negative press, almost like a "I toooold you soooo".
Soooo...why did you just spend time talking about sports talk radio on this board then?
Why feel the need to get on your soap box? Yeah, he has his opinions, I have mmine. That's what this board is for. I just simply chose to bring up how joyful he is in his message.
Feel free to sjip these threads then if it'll make your lifeeasier. Thanks.
Just wondering, but does anybody know if Hart has an official offer from Florida? I know they aren't always up to date with the offer lists, but Rivals says Florida hasn't offered. Just curious.
As has been touched upon, RR will give you chance to prove you can play at whatever position you desire if you feel you're good enough.
In the end, if Frost wants to be a Wolverine bad enough, he'll have no problems playing where the coaches think he contributes the most.

I will puke if they pick Aldrich.

DePriest seems to be all over Alabama now. Looking like them and OSU. Meh.
Thanks for taking the time Tom.
The Fr**p claims that is a recruiting violation.
One
Awesome, thanks Tom.
One more question. Out of that list, who are YOU highest on and would like to see wear Maize and Blue?
I though Tacopants let after 07? A NEW Tacopants? I thought we didn't recruit Mike DeBord type players anymore.
DEMETRIUS!
That's what I
Thanks Tom.

Tom,
You said that he is impressed with Michigans tradition. Do you find that this is true, or a focus of most recruits?
A lot of people are of the belief that these young kids don't know and care about a teams tradition and it never plays into anything.
What is your take from talking with these guys?
Agreed. However things shake out this Summer and into the Fall, I think we can be pretty certain RR will field the best players that are availabe at the point of the UCONN game.

THIS IS a major site! Yes? Yes.
He IS! You know why???? He has obver FIVE THOUSAND!!! You're almost there!!!! Just put in a lot of hard work...and keep the spellng errors to an absolute minimum!

Asking other posters to make out with you=GOOD
We have ALL learned valuable info today.
Cake is good.
Am i going to die? Answers. Message boards and the internet are obviously serious business. I need to know what the points mean!!!!
Picttures of cats and emo kids gets you points. Talking about Jeff DeFran and his agenda gets you negged.
Wait a minute. I got it. Every screen name is ACTUALLY DEFRAN!!!!! It makes sense to me NOW!
Now I see I'm down to 156 points. What does this all mean!?!?!?! It's supposed to do something, right? You wouldn't be doing it if it were for nothing, correct???
Well, that went without saying. That much was obvious by the second attempt!
LOLerz! Funny pictures for the win!!!
Come on, you're staring at it right now, admiring the post. Your eyes lit up thinking how impressive you'll look to everybody.
Again, understand that IT'S NOT JJUST A SCHTICK TO GET ATTENTION. Jeff DeFran has an agenda. He is VERY tight with the old guard.
Be honest, you
ZINGER!
Be honest, you high-fived yourself after that one, didn't you?
So now I've gown down 8. What now? Should I just neg all of my posts some more. Damn, you guys are harsh!
Any mis-spellings as well?
Becareful johnvand. The "gang" is going to get together and NEG you, because apparently there have been 150 other posts about the same subject today and they will be upset at the fact they were compelled to read and respond to something that they don't want to.
It's called "policing".

Well, simple, every thread that tips to being abour radio or peoples opinions on the program, skip. That should help weed them out. Problem solved.
Then, like people will tell me to change the station....don't read the thread.
