They haven't signed anything yet, so just wait until signing day.  A lot can change once these recruits find out who our coach is going to be.

No one can be surprised by this can they?    If you're Kris Frost, you may love Michigan, but the coaching staff that you loved is completely gone.   You have no idea who will take over and whether or not they will even want you (especially if you want to play WR).   On the other corner you have the team that will be playing for the NC on Monday.   If it was at all close, no way he goes Blue at the moment.   

The only bright spot is that this can still be salvaged once we get a coach on board.   But if guys like Frost are gone and even seemingly solid commits like Fisher and Beyer are looking around, it looks grim.

FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! EDIT: Question - with the end of January deadline for seating PSDs, who else is rethinking renewing season tickets for this mess?!?!?! I'm still All in for Michigan, but DB is certainly making a mess of things!

I think DB said Michigan is more than just one player.  In this case it's 1. Hart,  2. Zettel, 3. Frost, 4.  probably Lyons, maybe Denard leaves, ????  This is the best we could do for Athletic Director?  We can only hope that some coach is named with enough gravitas to reel some of these players back in and keep the players that are here. 

4.  probably Lyons

Edit: Lyons now too!  Dave Brandon is the cooler.

Each and every day that passes between now and the new HC being announced increases the likelyhood of more recruit attrition.  We all love Michigan and many of us went to school there but new recruits don't usually have the benefit of "legacy love" and are chosing based on the coaching staff.  Which we currently have none of.

Pretty soon we are going to have to raid WMU, CMU, EMU and Grand Valley States recruiting classes to fill out our roster although my fear is they will say no as well.

Anyone know the status of Thomas Rawls and Willie Beavers?

Keep up the good work DB.

Brandon is a former CEO, Michigan player, and one sharp guy. We are in good hands. This is just a bump in the road... in much the same way, as it was just a small leak on the Titanic.

I sure wouldn't want to be in a fox hole with a lot of you.  It's hardly Brandon's fault that Rodriguez closed out his tenure with multiple humiliating losses.  It isn't his fault that he had to wait for bowl games to finish or otherwise assure himself that he'd have no shot with guys like Harbaugh or Miles.

I knew this was going to be a mess. Karma us kicking um in the ass. I hope I'm wrong. RR didn't win as much as we wanted him to, but he was molding great young men. The way some of these other coaches treat their players, it was great to see a coach make hold their players responsible for their actions even at the expense of his own job. DB fired him the coach we may not have wanted, but needed.

NBC literally just said Frost will announce in a few minutes.  If you want to see the decision turn on NBC and watch the Army game.  After he picks Auburn for real we can all call Dave Brandon a douche, but as for now it isn't warranted with regard to Frost.
