Curt Mallory heading to New Jersey on a recruiting trip
December 1st, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
Go blue Yuri!
December 1st, 2011 at 5:57 PM ^
Wrap him up. I would love to see a corner of Wright's size here.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
Anthony Standifer is pretty much the same size and will be arriving next summer, so you might get to see two corners of Wright's size here
December 1st, 2011 at 7:18 PM ^
eeeeeeee!!!!

I thought he had accepted a coaching position at Rutgers.
EDIT: Thanks!
December 1st, 2011 at 6:37 PM ^
Isn't it wonderful that we feel that way about our secondary coach?
December 1st, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
.....has apparently decided to live in New Jersey, hopefully next door to Yuri Wright.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:01 PM ^
Don't do that!
I thought your thread title was announcing that Mallory was taking a coaching job somewhere else, not going to visit a recruit. I nearly had a coronary...fergodsakes.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:00 PM ^
God dammit, I thought we lost Curt!
Hope he cab bag us Yuri, though.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:01 PM ^
My failure has disgraced my family, if this were Japan, I'd be asked to kill myself.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
Thanks for the info!
December 1st, 2011 at 6:58 PM ^
you wouldn't have to be asked. You would just know
December 1st, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
Buckeyes think they can just take whoever they want. Would love to see Mallory sign this kid and show them that's not how it's going to be.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:05 PM ^
Wow. I read your post to mean he was going to take a coaching job at Rutgers or with the Jets or Giants. I was still saying "Nooooooo" when I opened the post. I just have grown to love a secondary that, you know, covers people. I'm not ready to loose that again.
[Edit - beaten to the punch by a ton of people. Thanks for fixing the title.]
Have a good flight coach. Feel free to lock down any five star recruits that you happen to bump into!
December 1st, 2011 at 6:03 PM ^
Honey, stow the adrenaline syringe and fat red sharpie for now.
December 1st, 2011 at 11:36 PM ^
but I hit +1 anyway. Congrats on making me laugh at my desk while my coworkers look at me like I'm possessed.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:05 PM ^
already that is no longer the case--e.g., Kalis, Strobel.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:09 PM ^
Yes i agree Wright would be a great pick up but id rather see us get a highly touted saftey
December 1st, 2011 at 6:13 PM ^
Jerrod Wilson?
December 1st, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
... who is Jerrod Wilson
December 1st, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^
December 1st, 2011 at 8:26 PM ^
Jarrod.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:11 PM ^
If there was only 1 spot left, I'd give to Yuri over a lineman because we already have such a big haul, and CB studs are a must for long term.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
I believe he will earn #2 by his sophomore season...this kid is good!
December 1st, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
No Blake love?
December 1st, 2011 at 11:42 PM ^
the less attractive more athletic version of Blake Lively? Unless you're of that persuasion or female, then it's the more attractive more athletic version of Blake Lively. Either way, I agree. There may be a battle for #2 in the future. Not that I will be complaining. Any time there are 2 people deserving of #2 or #1, our team and staff are doing something right. Need me some Yuri!
December 1st, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
I hate hate HATE how we are going to have to turn down so many 4-stars.... First world problem, I guess. Once Hoke and his staff realize their true recruiting potential (i.e. next year) I don't think we will be in this situation again, I think this year they didn't expect to do super well so they loaded up on prospects early, plenty of whom were 3 stars. Like I said though, first world problems.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
The coaching staff looks at the players potiential. They could care less how many stars they are. The stars mean nothing, they are only an opinion of some area scout who watched a highlight video or game. The coaches learn the personallity and can measure how much drive the player is. Stars dont mean anything.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:54 PM ^
You mean coach Hoke doesn't have Rivals as his homepage?
December 2nd, 2011 at 12:51 AM ^
No, he has mgoblog as his homepage. He gets his recruiting info from us.
December 1st, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
Your point about the coaches using their own judgement is valid, but it's been studied on this blog numerous times, stars do matter overall.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
December 1st, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
I'm guessing you are a member of the 3-star mafia.
December 1st, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
After listening to everything Hoke has said about expectations since day one, how can you think they didn't expect to do so well? And just look at the discrepancies between the different services to see that there is clearly a lot of wiggle room among probably the top 3 or 4 hundred players.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
I can't remember the last time we had 2 good corners at the same time. Probably 1997.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:34 PM ^
Morgan Trent and Leon Hall?
December 1st, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
really was not impressive ... he was better than Marcus Curry... but he always played off and quit on RR.
December 1st, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
he met the definition for "good".
but if you don't like that, Leon and Marlin?
December 1st, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
Marlin, yes. Morgan, no.
December 1st, 2011 at 9:48 PM ^
iirc the UFRs thought he was plenty fine.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:44 PM ^
Technically, Trent was recruited/signed as a WR
December 1st, 2011 at 6:47 PM ^
3rd NFL team this year after a few successful seasons in Cincy.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:24 PM ^
I hope Coach Mallory can work some magic on Yuri. While I realize it really doesn't mean anything unless the class turns out well in 4-5 years, it would be nice to pick up Yuri and a few other good recruits to round out our class with a #1 or 2 ranking. It might show the class of 2013 that Michigan is back on the field and on the recruiting trail.
December 1st, 2011 at 6:31 PM ^
I would love to see us land Yuri Wright. Wright and Stefon Diggs are the two recruits I want most.
December 1st, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
Either would be an awesome get, but I don't feel confident about landing either.

I don't understand...how does this affect Dunn and what impact does Urban Meyer have on this?
