Has anything positive happened in Michigan's recruitment of him since he delayed his decison? If not, this isn't looking good.

with every crystal ball except 2 pointing to OSU i'm thinking it might be OSU. the one guy saying MIchigan and the one guy saying Rutgers are definite outliers.

About every highly ranked potential recruit actually coming to michigan this class.

Sam reported that it looks like he's probably sticking with UM, but defnitely not a guarantee.
January 16th, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
he is still commited so yes, but Georgia is also coming on strong
Edit: what RockinLoud said

This might be the most depressing recruitment of the year. Make a player at a position of need a high priority for mutliple years, lead with him, and then when OSU misses on a couple of higher rated targets they come calling and flip him in a matter of months. That is the type of shit Michigan does to to Purdue, to have it done to us is a sobering reminder of just how far behind as a truly elite recruiting power.

So you are telling me hat Michigan cooled on every top prospect in the 2018 recruiting class? Quite the interesting strategy. Its clear the coaching staff failed in 2017, from gameplanning to player development to recruiting. Given 2015 and 2016 we can hope that was a blip that happens to everyone but Saban and move on, but to pretend like shitting the bed in every aspect of 2017 is just part of some grand plan is a little weird.

This recruiting class is still solid, although not elite. And yes, we probably cooled on a few.
However, the mounting problem is that while in Years 1-2 it's easy to sell recruiting based on excitement from a new hire, when you have nothing in terms of results to sell going into Years 3-4, recruiting will fall off. We need to start winning a few big games.

That's how that should have went. I get the negs, I'm just staying optomistic. I have a good feeling that this team will have a great year next year, no more acts of God or punters who can't fall on a ball or refs who can't correctly measure a football. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It's happened before. I trust how the staff scouts. Let's all hope the offensive line resembles a funcational unit next year otherwise a defensive tackle recruit (granted a position of need) will just not be that important in the grand scheme.

It's probably better to say that it would have been bad if Friday kept his original announcement date of last weekend, which his father let slip shortly after Partridge (his recruiter here) was said to be leaving Michigan, so in a way its...better.
That he then held off and didn't put out a new announcement date until Partridge's contract and staying time here was verified at the end of this weekend might provide an indication that he is interested in Michigan as long as Partridge is around, but that's a bit of tea leave reading.
In short: it will be good if Michigan gets Friday, and it will make a lot of superior feeling OSU people upset, which is a double win... however almost all the CB's have him going to OSU.

Can't wait for Every Day Should Be Saturday's Sunday report on Friday's Saturday commitment.

How hard are the coaches still persuing him? That's usually a very telling indicator how things are working out.

only thing that changes these types of recruiting concerns. I don't fault the kids as they are getting told quite a bit of information during these time. Harbaugh will develop the talent and win with the guys that truly want to be here. It amazes me how often the players elect to return to play his final year here. Doesn't fit the narrative that everyone outside the program keeps preaching. When we see the results of this on the field the rest will follow. Quarterback seems to be the only thing he hasn't done well so far. I am pretty sure he is tougher on himself than we are as fans. Brighter days ahead. Go Blue!!
January 16th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Meyer is not dumb and he maintains momentum when it's needed and when it's low.
I just want Harbaugh to get back to basics and bust some ASS on these kids and win some fucking Rivalry Games!

Hope he changed it to Friday after reading this thread. Mgoblog= more Michigan interest.
January 16th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
Partridge and Harbaugh save the day?
January 16th, 2018 at 4:40 PM ^
Sounds unlikely.

Partridge and Harbaugh save the day?

Or the win from Saturday and yesterday has me on such a high, I've left reason behind.
