Remaining unsigned top recruits
ESPN has an article with their thoughts on the top remaining unsigned recruits. I don't know that there is much new info, other than the fact that this covers all those out there, not just those Michigan is in the running for. They have Michigan getting Parker, FSU getting Dorsey, and Knight isn't listed. Also, Seantel is predicted to go to the Buckeyes.
p.s. I did a cursory look through the mgoboard, and did a search, so I don't think this was posted yet. If so, sorry about that.

osu hasn't seemed to get any of the large prospects they have in the past this year. Class is down a little bit this year, but maybe they put all their eggs in the seantrel basket? Either way, I don't think they get him.

Did anyone notice that right below the list of players, it lists "The Bests of the BCS Conferences" and says Penn St has the best uniforms in the Big Ten and Ohio State has the most tradition. What a joke. Michigan versus Ohio St on tradition is debatable, I will give them that. Even though I think Michigan is the clear winner. But Penn St having better uniforms than us...that's a joke.

Also, tOSU apparently has the best stadium... It's the BIG HOUSE for pete's sake. Whatever, ESPN can suck it (as per usual).
February 1st, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
tOSU does have the best stadium...for me to poop on!

God's toilet seat.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:36 PM ^
...have just besmirched all toilet seats.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
The coolers are just for show.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:34 PM ^
Well you'd have to be pretty roaring drunk to show anyone that.
February 1st, 2010 at 6:43 PM ^
Penn State's uniforms are taylored bedsheets. OSU most tradition? Their most famous tradition was taught to them by Michigan.
Unfortunately, this is part of the down year after effects.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:13 PM ^
I keep reading all these stories that say Michigan has dropped from like 4th to 11th in football tradition and so forth. I'm sorry, but you can't drop off that severely by simply having a couple of down years. It's like all those "Greatest of All Time" lists that are way over-weighted to people who played more recently. People are always so short-sighted.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
When measuring tradition, the greatest weight is to be applied to the most distant past. Like reverse exponential smoothing. That's the whole friggin' point of tradition -- historic accomplishments and contributions which compound in glory and influence over the years.
Think of it -- every football team that has a linebacker can thank U of M for creating the position. The innovation may not have been as significant in that first year of its inception, but over the years it has grown to the point where it's nearly impossible to think of a defense without linebackers. Hence, we have defined the game of football as it is today -- that's tradition.
All these articles are just written to draw revenue from the biggest markets. And Columbus is a much bigger football market than Ann Arbor.

oh you mean, the traditions of starting your own town on fire and throwing batteries at your rival since 1870. lame.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:22 PM ^
How does OSU have more tradition? We had already won 5 national titles before they could even beat us once -- in 16 tries!
What does our current slump have to do with tradition? Nothing at all. Bullocks!
February 1st, 2010 at 7:32 PM ^
Judging who has the better uniforms is purely up to one's own tastes. Personally, I like Michigan's uniforms, but then again, I'm biased. This guy likes Penn State's, no big deal.
As for tradition, that is a little less subjective.
Besides, it's not like Miochigan is the flavor of the month anywhere.
EDIT: and to show how asinine that list is, Wisconsin is not the place you want to go for early playing time, in fact it is one of the worst places to go to for that this year. Also, Michigan is not the most likely to get players to the NFL.
February 1st, 2010 at 6:27 PM ^
I just have this gut feeling he is going to USC...no info though.
February 1st, 2010 at 6:34 PM ^
Here are a couple that we should make a late push for.....

What made you pick those two?
February 1st, 2010 at 6:51 PM ^
It was a joke. The first guy looks like a woman, and the second is a 6'7" WR with absolutely no athleticism whatsoever.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
It was an extremely hilarious joke.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:22 PM ^
I never said it was a good joke......
February 1st, 2010 at 6:46 PM ^
Except for early enrollees, every 2010 recruit is unsigned. They can't sign until Wednesday.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
This it one of my pet peeved.
Although, even the early enrollees haven't signed their LOIs.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
The fact that they have enrolled essentially means they are locked into their commitment. If any of them wanted to attend a different school at this point, they'd have to sit out the 2010 season like Steve Threet did in 2007.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:42 PM ^
I understand they are "locked in". But they wouldn't have to sit out a year. Threet did because he signed the LOI, even though he left after 1 semester.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
I'm 98.7% sure.
February 1st, 2010 at 10:43 PM ^
I don't understand percentages. Could you please use gut feeling units?
February 1st, 2010 at 10:45 PM ^
I believe that's 987 gut feelings out of 1000 possible gut feelings.
February 1st, 2010 at 9:06 PM ^
NO SEANTREL DO NOT GO TO OSU.
February 1st, 2010 at 9:59 PM ^
Butt if he goes to OSU, we get to watch him spiral ever closer to the event horizon for offensive line talent.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:13 PM ^
with OSU. Going up against a 6'8" 340 lb OT does not sound very pleasant.
Come on Wednesday. What is taking soooo long.
