Shocker.
February 6th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
every day!
February 6th, 2018 at 2:49 PM ^
There's also the "Mexican Minivan," but you need at least two friends and their hands to pull that one off...
February 6th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
No donkey?
February 6th, 2018 at 3:14 PM ^
amigo!
February 6th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
This made me think I was looking at the Valentines Day gift thread.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
What else is new...
February 6th, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
He hasn’t been considered a possibility for Michigan in a while. Everywhere has had Michigan running a distant 5th. I was hoping he would end up at UF.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
for whatever its worth Sam just said yesterday they were still in it and Trieu said something similar recently.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
Where did he say that?
February 6th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
his recruiting roundup
February 6th, 2018 at 1:40 PM ^
I just listened to his recruiting roundup from 2/5 and he didn’t mention NPF. Talks about Kevin Doyle, Sam Johnson, and Justin Rogers
February 6th, 2018 at 1:47 PM ^
5:45 in....."Michigan still has a shot" coming from "well placed sourvces" in tampa
February 6th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
Sam's looking for clicks.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:49 PM ^
Ok well to be fair, you said yesterday, and today is 2/6.
February 6th, 2018 at 4:07 PM ^
Maybe Jkidd49 lives in Russia and today is yesterday? I do see some Siberian Huskies in his pic.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:51 PM ^
If was this morning. Go listen to RR 2/6.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
the way that you are taking it. I've heard both of them talk about his recruitment and the sentiment is that "nobody knows anything". That he has been so quiet about his recruitment, that there was still a shot, but it was more of the absence of information to the contrary.
No one that has been paying attention has had their hopes up or been wondering how this is going to go.
February 6th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
EL
OH

February 6th, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
Just means, he hasn't eliminated you publicly.
February 6th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
"Still in it" means that he hasn't specifically said "No". We simply have "No" chance. If OSU closes out this deal, it is going to be a long next few years with the class they are putting together.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^
Where is everywhere? I hadnt read this anywhere.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
I mean if you follow recruiting, then it was.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
No, it wasn't. Actually OSU was considered to be running behind the pack before his visit due to Schiano's impending departure. I'm sure they reassured him that Schiano will be in Columbus well into the future....meaning next Monday.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:34 PM ^
Besides the Michigan 247 site, not a single recruiting analyst has given us a shot since he started his second round of official visits.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:40 PM ^
Define a shot. There's been no opinion on the kid's favorite until today, it's been one of the quietest recruitments ever. By what you're considering was "not a shot" for Michigan, the other schools also had "not a shot" until now. Nobody knew anything.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
Reading updates from national people acknowledged that it was a mystery, but only who he was gonna choose among UF/ND/Bama/OSU.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:53 PM ^
That's not true, Michigan has always been in his finalists. You're either reading selectively as a self-hating Michigan fan (the largest portion of the fan base) or you're reading from people who are speaking out of their ass.
February 6th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Notice how that they all talk about the other schools, but not about Michigan. You hear what you want to hear if you only listen or read sources from Michigan’s side of things.

Dr. Mantis, if you are wrong and he doesn't pick Michigan, you need to do a self prostate examination for the board.
February 11th, 2018 at 9:11 PM ^
Dr Mantis is never wrong, just ask him
February 6th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
We went through this last week. Nobody paying attention thinks Michigan is remotely in it. Not sure about a favorite does not mean we are in it. People aren’t sure about a favorite but when guessing are saying Florida, nd, osu, bama. Nobody is guessing Michigan when they are guessing. Nobody knows where he is goIng to pick doesn’t mean anybody thinks it’s going to be Michigan. And nobody outside of Michigan insiders has thought Michigan had a shot for a long time.
February 6th, 2018 at 8:09 PM ^
Agreed. I kept reading on here that we were in it and nobody had any idea who he was going to pick. I checked UF board and no mention of UM. Visit ND, Bama, and OSU boards and nothing about UM. I heard Wiltfong on a podcast the other day and he said he wouldn’t be surprised if NPF picked any of the finalists, then he added except for Michigan. Oh well. Hopefully he picks someone other than OSU or ND.
February 6th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
I mean, it isn't that cut and dry.
Yes, Schiano has a huge influence on the kid, but as an advisor, not necessarily a coach. From what I know, NPF knows that:
1.) Whether he leaves in a day or after next season, Schiano won't be at OSU for his career
2.) Schiano isn't his position coach, let alone, on the same side of the ball
3.) This is about Schiano's counsel. If he goes to OSU thanks to Schiano, it's because he trusts Schiano's advice. Even if he did leave today, all indications are that it wouldn't change much.
February 6th, 2018 at 5:08 PM ^
Maybe Schiano will tell him he helped put Michigan here when he reneged on coaching here, thus leaving us with RR then Hoke.
February 6th, 2018 at 4:25 PM ^
Greg Schiano has a good relationship with Berkley Prep's coach because his twin sons attended that school when they lived in Tampa, but Greg Studrawa has also been heavily involved in the NPF's recruitment. The latter probably matters more to NPF since Studrawa will actually be his position coach, and Schiano is a defensive coach.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:44 PM ^
We'll most likely miss out on NPF and the Rice grad transfer. If the Oline isn't any better next year, I can only imagine how furious this board will be that Drevno wasn't fired this offseason.
February 6th, 2018 at 2:15 PM ^
Angrier than if i had just found out I had been served Columbian decaffeinated coffee crystals.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
Gotta give credit to ohio. Anyone who can convince kids to come to that craphole is doing a great job recruiting.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
I mean what idiot would want to go to a craphole school where you dont have to go to classes, get free cars, tatoos and all the women you can handle for a couple of years and then get drafted into the NFL where you'll make millions cause you got drafted in one of the top two rounds.
It's a fucking marvel they get anybody to play there really.
February 6th, 2018 at 1:31 PM ^
Where do I sign?
February 6th, 2018 at 1:43 PM ^
You left out do drugs and assault women
February 6th, 2018 at 1:50 PM ^
Can I just do women and assault drugs (with my face)?
February 6th, 2018 at 2:00 PM ^
You'll win the B1G title every year or so and get to play in the "final four" games more often than not.
But that seemed like piling on.......
February 6th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
You forgot the part about how they win games that actually matter too.
February 6th, 2018 at 3:17 PM ^
So, are we disappointed that we aren’t getting recruits that want to do drugs, beat women, and take impermissible benefits? It seems like we slam a lot of recruits that are still targets, npf, by saying that they are pieces of shit that are interested in being criminals if they go to osu, even as they are still weighing options. I mean, is it wise to call everyone who takes an ov to osu, that we also want, a bad person? Even though they didn’t pick them? Would we still take Tyler Friday? Even though by this logic he obviously wants to beat the shit out of his gf and do coke while getting free tattoos?
February 6th, 2018 at 4:26 PM ^
you forgot where you beat your rival on a yearly basis that it is no longer a rivalry and just a game before the BIG championship.
February 6th, 2018 at 4:42 PM ^
You can say the same thing about the top SEC schools too.
Except their weather is better, their cash is greater, and their girls are prettier.
So I still don't know how Ohio State does it.
