2010 Recruiting
Word on the web is that Rivals should be coming out with a Top 100 sometime within the next week or say. Sorry I don't have any sources or links, but I think at about this time last year Rivals came out with the list. That should really jump start the 2010 recruiting season. I'm especially interested in the Michigan and Ohio prospects.

can't wait to read it, which is a little pathetic. but 2010 (and even 2011) recruiting has already started. just ask the coaches.

dior mathis is a must this year and the DB crop for 2010 is lookin good already
February 8th, 2009 at 11:59 AM ^
Another absurd statement; losing Mathis isn't the end of the world. It would be nice to keep a Michigan kid instate, but if not, we'll be alright I'm pretty sure. We're high on the list for Cullen Christian and Lo Wood, so we're on a good start for CBs.

Why is it that everyone who disagrees with you is being "absurd," "stupid," or some other rude and judgemental adjective?
I have strong opinions myself, but I have learned to respect the opinions of others. The purpose of a forum is to exchange ideas, not to insult everyone who disagrees with you.
Is there any way you can just state your opinions and "agree to disagree" without the drama and name-calling?
I, for one, would really appreciate it if you could save the insults for fans of other programs who come here to gloat or troll.

What an absurd, stupid response.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:34 PM ^
Nevermind, I was confused.
February 8th, 2009 at 10:27 AM ^
I'm hearing that ricardo is a top 10 prospect for 2010.
And I don't think Dior will be coming to Michigan. Would be a very nice pickup but I don't think it's gonna hppen
Can anyone shed some light on cass tech teammate Daniel easterly? He looks like a great athlete. I watched his video and he loves to hit hard. He would also be a very very nice pickup for the blue
February 8th, 2009 at 12:42 PM ^
i watched his tape and he seems really athletic and likes to hit. plus he's a tall guy so we'd be able to pack a few pounds on him.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:30 PM ^
...that you are watching tape of a high school junior football player?
Read Mitch Albom's article in the Freep today. Then do something other than watch high school tape.
February 8th, 2009 at 4:50 PM ^
What else would u use to evaluate a HIGH SCHOOL football player other than his highschool football film? I don't think he's participated in any major combines or camps yet
February 8th, 2009 at 4:58 PM ^
That Mitch Albom column is stupid.
See for yourselves:

But this type of site probably isn't for you.
February 9th, 2009 at 10:04 AM ^
So I take it that you are of the church of Albom and it is blasphemous for one to concern themselves with the affairs of recruiting until such a time as deemed fit by the One Mitch Albom

Mathis isn't a "must." We already have Cissoko, Warren, Turner, and then a couple projects (Floyd, Witty, Woolfolk) who might contribute. It would be nice to get him, but to call him a "must" is a stretch.
I really like what I've seen of Easterly. I'd rather get him than Mathis.
February 8th, 2009 at 11:33 AM ^
Mathis is definitely not a must get. Seems like we have a few prospect potentials at CB as well. Lo Wood in particular seems like we have a pretty good shot at. Plus if we can get Marvin Robinson at safety that should make it a little more likely JT stays at corner.

I think 2010 recruiting will be defined by the progress we make this year on the field. I think MSU beat us instate because MSU appears (right now) to be on the rise and UM has hit the bottom. If we can beat MSU this year and get 8 wins or so I think that kids will be begging to play for us.

Michigan State "beat" Michigan because Rich Rod recruits nationally and D'Antonio admittedly puts emphasis mostly on the local area.
Kids are already begging to play for Michigan. QB Nader Furrha is walking on from Ann Arbor Pioneer. Two other D-Linemen are walking on from in-state. Need I remind you Nick Sheridan walked on from Saline.
And, look at the national talent Rich Rod is bringing to Michigan this fall with the 2009 class. Tell me, would you rather want Denard Robinson or AJ Westendorp? How about Tate?
Are we upset that J.T. Turner is here, a 5-star talent, instead of getting a kid from Livonia? Not me. Michigan is a national-level school, and it should pull highly ranked national recruits. Michigan's natural rivals for recruiting are Ohio State, Notre Dame, USC, LSU, and now Florida, Texas and Florida State. Michigan State can continue to compete with Central, Purdue and Minnesota for most of their kids.
RR has no reason to apologize for "only" pulling about 8 Michigan high schoolers (at this point, either schollie or walk-on) this year. The quality of this class looks to be high.
February 8th, 2009 at 4:49 PM ^
I agree with most of what you said, but the fact that Sheridan and Furrha (and others) are walking on to our program does nothing to further your argument. Every program has walk-ons.
February 8th, 2009 at 3:46 PM ^
I suppose that's true, I guess I am just tired of all of the articles on Freep, and others like that one, that would lead you to believe that MD is dominating RR.
