New Michigan crystal ball from Bill Greene

Submitted by Bluey on

WR Quintel Kent from Lakewood, OH. He is a zero star recruit with offers from Kent State, Bowling Green, EKU, and Ball State.

Remains to be seen if his UM offer is committable, but uh, yeah.

Pretty clear why Brian hated the McElwain hire at this point.

The only concept that isn't getting grasped around here seems to be that everyone wants recruiting to get better, everyone wants all the 5*s, and no one wants a repeat of '18 in the "rankings".

So why do you feel compelled to say it OVER AND OVER AND OVER, and shit in every fuckin thread about it?

Michigan fans loved to brag about how great recruiting was going in 2016 and 2017, not it's recruiting rankings don't matter and trust the coaches. Nah, they matter. I just don't lie to myself and say they don't.

What has Ben Mason done besides get talked about non stop. Guy doesn’t even have a position right now. 

 

People complained about Mettalus all year last year. 

Uche I keep hearing how great he is yet still haven’t seen him do one thing in a winged helmet. Rumored to want out at one point last year.

Gill- Hopefully he will actually play before people annoying him some type of steal. Isn’t he in a battle with Ross right now?

Dumnfour- Once again let him produce something before we go around saying how great he is from some practice report from Sam Webb where you have no idea who was going against on offense. 

McKeon- Has produced the most out of this group but still a long ways to go.

Hey guys, that was just for the three stars who were ranked over 700, if I list all the recruits ranked from 500-700, will you keep playing?

Or all the 3*s rated 350-500?

Will you keep craning your brains to explain why I shouldn't root for them?

All of the comments saying stop feeding the trolls, or calling bluey a troll and telling him to stop posting here make me laugh. It’s like when someone sends a blast email at work and people reply all saying stop using reply all.  Bluey is winning the battle at least until the points function is working.

Seems like moderators should step in and say something, one way or the other. No upvote/downvote needed. 

But, it's not my blog. I just come here looking for the "insider information" I had read was available here. Must be here somewhere.

Honestly, if the message board listed who created the post, I'd be happy.

But Bluey is an asshole and creates threads that shit on kids who undoubtedly visit the site.  So while I don't believe that any HS kid should care what some asshole on the internet thinks about him based on reading a third of a page of 247 and watching a 2-minute highlight film, it isn't a good look for the site to have it plastered on the front page.  Again, it seems the mods are fine with it, but for all the "don't tweet at recruits" instructions I see around here all the time, it's a little hypocritical to allow a post that is "offering this kid shows the depths of despair Michigan has entered and we are all fucked."

I don't know that an offer means he will end up signing. There will be great WRs offered by signing day. Lots of offers are made to lots of players by all teams across America. Players will only sign with 1 offer. It's not worth making conclusions one way or the other, at this point, about an offer. 

Not worth arguing over on a quiet Sunday.

I'm officially worried about WR recruiting. With DPJ and Black real threats to leave after 2019, we need a few studs this year, not more under the radar recruits.

Aren't you the asshole who complained constantly that a bunch of offers for other targets weren't "committable" because it didn't fit your narrative?  Also, Brian disliked McElwain for a lot of reasons, only about half of which had to do with his actual abilities as a coach, and virtually none to do with his ability to coach WRs.  He had way more of an issue with him not being able to take a "joke" that someone said he humped a dead shark on a boat.

Also, do you have nothing else going on in your life than to follow offer sheets for recruits to Michigan and ONLY report on the ones you want to shit on?

Bluey is a great example of a guy who's a huge dick about something and then likes to act like he's just the messenger being shot and truly doesn't understand why people hate him. Like the people who are huge jerks and then scream 'persecution!!' as soon as someone pushes back
