Insult to Injury: Logan Brown commits to Wisconsin

Better Wisconsin than MSU or OSU IMO.

We knew recruiting wasn't going to get any easier. I'm getting tired of the people here who seem to think that you can only build a good line from top rated recruits and you should expect it to take 5 years. That's not how it works. The great recruiting comes secondary to success. If the coaching staff knows what they're doing they will be able to mold a great OL from 3 stars.

What happened to the best players in Michigan go to Michigan? Make no mistake, this is a massive recruiting miss. In-state guy that we were in on early and at position that's always going to be needed. Thanks Drevno!

“Oh he’s just a ‘19 kid” or “oh it’s not a big deal our oline commits are just fine”, it’s a big deal! This kid is going to be a five star by the end of next year. Him committing doesn’t mean we can’t get him back but, it’s just ridiculous that we are so lackluster in that position and we keep missing on our top recruits, especially a in-state guy that should be easier to land. We have limited tackles and the recruiting in this area has been piss poor. In state guys this good should be the highest of priorities. When you have high 4* guys in state landing them is a must. Don’t be shocked when other top priority recruits start fading too. Not the commits, they are solid, but players we should be able to easily land. It’s not all gloom and doom and i know this sounds stupid to most of you, but from a fan who follows recruiting so heavily, things like are so frustrating.

Guys come and go and come back again (sometimes).

There will be some coaching changes that allow us to flip a guy to Michigan who might be committed to somewhere else. A lot can happen in January!

Just hoping Newsome can come back for next year and this time he can undercut a Wisky player and get revenge for a dirty play. 

Guys change their mind all the time. He could easily end up at Michigan. He might feel quite differently about his choice depending on the outcome of next years game.

The place where grown men lose their sanity over choices made by 17-18 y.o's. 

What is going on with this blog? Most experts had Michigan taking a step back this season losing to Florida, PSU, Wiskey and OSU subsitute MSU for Florida and its just as perdicted. This is a bit of a rebuilding year,  Doug Karsch said before the season that this will be Harbaughs worst year then when it happens everyone loses their freaking minds.

 if you don't think this team has improved and has been competitive over the last 3 years and Harbaugh isn't  the guy who do you think is? Again Harbaugh didn't drop the punt snap against MSU he didn't make the calls that cost them against OSU he didn't rule DPJ's TD was't yesterday those things don't happen and we probably are not having these conversations. I get it they did, but come on.

Dantonio has made his share of blunders and lost games too, how did Urbans trip to Iowa go?

Stop micro analyzing everthing and see that this team is heading in the right direction and we are not 3 - 9 and he hasn't lost his players. I know over the last 3 years heading into the Big House I feel like we had a chance to win , I didn't feel that way the previous 7 years!

We are not Nebraska, Texas, Florida Tennessee, or even ND to some extent be thankful for what we have and stop being such a bitchy fanbase pull up your big boy pants and enjoy the games for fuck sakes

 

So two years out?  Yeah, a lot can change in the interim.  Good luck to him if he goes to Wisconsin, but getting worked up this far in the future is silly.

during the game regarding what OL of Wisconsin were making in the NFL, what kid wouldn't want to go to Wisconsin?

I happen to beleve good OL players are developed by good coaching. There is no evidence of that from Michigan.

because of this important recruiting miss.

But at the same time, those people who keep blaming the Hoke/RR Oline gaps as a reason why our oline/team sucks should understand what this may be.  Another recruiting gap . . .

Let's take a breath sit back and look at who we are playing- Ruiz Fr. , DPJ Fr. ,  Solomon Fr. , Thomas Fr. , Black inj. Fr. , Collins Fr. JKP Fr. Gary So., Bredeson So. , Peters So. , Long So. Onwenu So. Walker So., Crawford So. , Hill So. , Kemp So, Bush So. , Evans So., Hudson So McDoom So. Nordin So.  Mckeon So. Dwumfour So.

I think one of the things overlooked when Jedd and Tyrone Sr left is they are both very good recruiters. Not sure about Hamilton and Frey but I suspect there could be a drop off there which we may be seeing with this 2018 class. Durkin was a really good recruiter too. I don't have data to back that up - just a hunch.

I can’t believe Bredeson left Wisconsin to come here. Those guys need to lock up that state.... Recruiting is recruiting - Wisconsin produces phenomenal lines and you will get great coaching there. I wasn’t offended when Zettel left the state or Jake Fisher. They went to great programs known for production at the position. You want to win the majority of your battles in the state but you won’t win them all. All fan bases respond to immediacy vs trend. We are no different. I told Brian after the Iowa basketball game last year that it would be great to do a fire Beilein counter and correlate it to points awarded to see if the degree of irrationality increases vs immediacy of expectation. Shocker but it does...I’m a big fan of Harbaugh and am happy to give him the time to make it his culture and team. Honestly, he is the best option from the Bo tree and I believe if changes are necessary, he will make them.

I’m almost positive every year we win some and lose some. Course not happy we don’t get all the top recruits. We will be really good in the foreseeable future.

GO BLUE!!
