| 2 weeks 3 days ago | Texas A&M - LSU |
Interesting that TAMU joins the SEC and is suddenly recruiting at the top of the ranks, while LSU, who is dependent on Texas recruits, is suddenly not. |
| 2 weeks 3 days ago | 7 SEC |
Texas A&M. Then again, I'd say 5.375 B1G, with Notre Dame playing 3 B1G teams each year. |
| 4 weeks 8 hours ago | What? |
I'm missing something. Why would it be good for the talent of the midwest to leave? I understand winning the B1G is goal #1 (and 2 and 3.) But, would it really feel good to beat up on a bunch of sissies? I would prefer that the B1G keep all of its local talent (which I think Nebraska will help) and then stock up on players from the lands of the SEC, PAC and Big12. After all, the only thing better than one ring, is two. |

In a prior analysis it was shown that there is no difference within a program in the rates of 2-, 3- and 4-star recruits eventually going pro... unless a program also signed more than 0.5 to 1 5-star recruit per year. Within a sub-group made up of Cal, Iowa, Oregon and Va Tech: 12.2%, 12.99% and 13.43% of 2-, 3- and 4-stars (respectively) from the 2002-2005 recruiting cycles eventually went pro. Within a sub-group made up of Georgia, ohio, and Penn St: 12.5%, 16.2%, and 24.0% of 2-, 3- and 4-stars (respectively) from the 2002-2005 recruiting cycles eventually went pro. In summary: If we consider our walk-ons (especially with scholarship offers to other D-1 programs) to be 2- to 3-star material, then we should expect an NFL caliber football player to be produced from among every 8 walk-ons. I would also surmise that a team with 4 coaches along the lines would be a great place for walk-on linemen to be sculpted into NFL-type talent. Welcome Mr. Glasgow. We will all be rooting for you! |
| 11 weeks 2 days ago | Selection Bias |
Awesome analysis. But... because recruiting rankings are not static (ie. They change after a recruit commits to a school) there is ample opportunity for selection bias. The only analysis that would separate such bias would be an evaluation of recru |
| 12 weeks 5 days ago | 13 OL in Rivals top 100 |
13 OL in Rivals top 100. Michigan has 3, and all 3 are in the top 60... There are 28 linemen in the Rivals top 200. Michigan has 5. No other school has more than 1 of the top 28 linemen committed right now; only six of the top 28 linemen have committed to another school (ND, Texas, Florida St, Texas AM, Alabama, and North Carolina have one apiece.) Only 17 Uncommitted OL prospects left from the Rivals Top 200. Considering the heavy hitters from each conference: ACC - Clemson, Florida St, Miami, Va Tech Big12 - Oklahoma, Texas, (WVU) B1G - Nebraska, OSU, Penn St, Wisc Notre Dame PAC - Cal, Oregon, Stanford, USC, Washington SEC - Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, (Tex AM) There are 24 big time schools fighting for the remaining 17. That's right. Less than 1 OL left uncommitted per school listed above. And we all probably believe that Alabama, Florida, Florida St, LSU, ND, Oklahoma, OSU, Texas and USC will end up with multiple. There's not enough left on the board for each of these elite recruiting teams to snag 3 (spread evenly, each of these teams could end up with 2.2.) And remember, Michigan has 3 of the top 9 OL; everyone else is left fighting for 2.2 among the top 28. That is how amazing Michigan's haul of 5 OL in the Rivals top 200 really is. |

on how you got those tanlines. |

Which is why it makes MGoBrian's opinions more powerful |
| 13 weeks 11 hours ago | Pure Awesome |
Snagging the #15 and #37 players overall (to Rivals) would be an awesome haul at a position Hoke is looking to add "depth" to. |
| 13 weeks 11 hours ago | Spring Game |
In the article he says he might commit at the spring game "if the trip feels just right." I'm trying not to get my hopes up... and failing. Go Blue! |
