I appreciate that you prefaced with "this is good news," but I don't understand how any Michigan fan could express any disappointment about this. Plus, in terms of need and likely contribution, I'd argue that Poggi is a bigger get than Green. (Don't get me wrong, though... I'd love to get Green, too.)
People just are all hot for green right now. Becuase he picked up a fifth star on rivals. Poggi will add depth, which never hurts on the D-line.
This class is special.
I guess we'll have to stay buckled up all weekend.
i think he's feeling the pressure and he's goin blue
Hopefully Hurst has started a domino effect and Poggi, Treadwell, and Green all commit within the week. IMO we get Poggi and Treadwell, Green is a wildcard.
Lock. And a Poggi commit wouldn't upset Ohio fans too much. I wouldn't be surprised if we get both Poggi and Green or if we just got one of them? Either way, we end up ahead.
Maybe he said that because Ohio fans have been bragging up their DL commits have been better than ours and concede that our OL recruits are better. Now Hoke & co are showing them that we will out recruit them on both sides of the line
Yes, he didn't specify why they would be upset. We are talking about crazy ohio people here...it could be anyone.
said the middle or the end of june,i think we should ban this guy from posting on MICHIGAN topics.
Most of us value his opinion...isn't that what a board like this is about? an opinion? Just like you have every right to post your opinion that you think RDT sucks, he has every right to post his opinion, which many of us like to hear.
I like that RDT posts here, too. People take his "insider information" way too seriously around here, though. I see no reason to believe that the guy knows any more than posters here who follow recruiting closely. RDT's value is that he can share the Alabama perspective - like any of us could share the Michigan perspective on an Alabama board - not that he's some kind of insider with incredible information.
Personally I really like his posts and enjoy the unique perspective and insight he seems to provide. That said, I don't really get all the love notes he gets on here. Seems a little over the top, and I don't know why he deserves it more than some other posters. Again, I like the guy as much as anyone, but its just kind of weird that he's so controversial. I don't know why his posts should garner such extreme reactions one way or the other.
what are we supposed to act like its a joke??
Like I said earlier, I have no problem with Rolldamntide. I like the intelligent users we have that are fans of other teams. People just need to realize that this guy does not have any inside sources. He has not given us any information that I could not already access from any of the major recruiting websites.
Any source is fallible, inside or otherwise. The folks he knows speculate just like anyone else. It's nice to know that the folks down south can be just as wrong as anyone else.
Agreed. He's just relaying what the word is among the high school coaching network in the south. Is it better than Rivals or Scout or TomVH, probably not. It is more informed than some guy sitting in his mom's basement in Ypsilanti? Yes.
It's fun to hear their perspective, but it's far from perfect. So relax people, if you don't think it's worth anything, IGNORE his posts.
This totally points toward Poggi but I had completely given up hope of him coming here and I was assuming he was going to Bama. Maybe by giving up hope I unjinxed it
Please give up hope on a national championship
I've given up hope on 10 consecutive undefeated seasons.
Dammit, give up hope on about 50 more after those ten.. Most of us should be around for awhile.
I hearby give up all hope of ever hooking up with Kate Upton!
On another note former LB Chris Graham is in line to be the starting MLB for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL.
Follow him on and twitter to show him love
hehe "Roughriders"
As opposed to the Ottawa Rough Riders
However this class NEEDS Treadwell and a difference making RB! With the last two classes of OL recruits and Sugar Shane how are we not landing the big time play makers!!?? It's gonna happen!
You realize signing day is in February right?
But we didn't really get it in our last class either, so I'm jonsing! Maybe Darboh!?
Is pretty good, by the way
Rawls, bowling ball- tough to bring down. With the OL haul of the last two years, hopefully many RBs will look great.
Please stop with the "Sugar" Shane.
Yeah it's redundant due to "Dextrose" Dawson.
I'm the only one that finds this funny ? ? ?
You are not alone. Unbelievably hilarious
High-fructose-corn-syrup Hill
Could we possibly be getting two commits on Monday?
Who?
MIKE JONES!
and Rick James!!!
should always be proceeded by "I'm" and followed by ",bitch!".
Just trying to help...
The official fruit of Michigan Football!
You're struggling tonight my man. Might be a good idea to slow down on the koolaid.
And Ace said recruiting would really die down in the Hello: Post.
Halol
So do we buckle up in anticipation of more Michigan Recruiting Dominance (tm), or panic over Hoke's inability to draw in the top prospects? Pretty sure there's no middle ground.
Does this mean we have to reinstate THE PARTY ROOM?
Never ever.
Didn't he (it?) say Anzalone?
And Green
Where the hell did that ass clown go anyway. He ran his mouth for like two months straight, and then nothing.
Bolivia.
