nothing to worry about. i bet rich rod has noted that we need DT's and LB's as well. but feel free to write him a letter if you are really that worried...

Grammar = EPIC FAIL What's with all your top 5 questions? Hell it's only been a little over a month since signing day 2009; long way to go. Yes, we know we need defensive tackles; not sure why everyone keeps bringing this up. The coaches will address that and the LB position in time. I'd encourage you to use Varsity Blue's recruiting board for recent info on prospects.

I'm being genuinely serious. Your posts are rambling, incoherent grammatically flawed clusterfucks that remind me of Dwyane Wade and Charles Barkley given how often you bring up "top 5s." Heed the advice in this thread and just be patient. 2010 signing day is 11 months away. 3/4 of the class is still to be filled and there's nothing wrong with that. Rich Rod is doing a great job and he will hopefully turn the team around. If he doesn't, well, he'll be fired.

Maybe instead of people posting threads in response to every headline from GBW or The Wolverine ten minutes after they pop up, take 2 hours, go do something constructive, then check either the Scout free boards or the Michigan section from Recruiting Planet. Nearly every headline is addressed between the two. Instead of running here and cluttering the board with 15 new "what does this headline mean" questions every damn day, we could all do a little bit of independent research instead of spamming the boards begging for premium info. Sit back, chill the fuck out, check out other sites that are specifically dedicated to addressing questions like this and maybe this board can become interesting again.

So you think if M is in DeJoshua Johnson's top 5 then we won't get any DTs or LBs? I'm sure RR and staff have sent out info to tons of defensive players. I'm guessing most high prospect defensive players might want to see at least one game to see how the defense is run under the new coordinator to put us in their top 5.

Don't worry, I speak stupid. "yea but we've had 3 straight DC so maybe we could have a great defense this year to impress recruits. Im more worry about our front 7 because our secondary will be great" = "You sir are correct on your previous post; however, owing to the fact that we are now on our third defensive coordinator in as many years, it seems necessary to have a great defense which will allow us to impress top defensive recruits. Because I feel (despite all evidence to the contrary) that our secondary will be great I'm worried about our front seven's ability to keep the play in front of them. If the front seven does not perform up to par, this could in fact hinder our ability to land top recruits due to the previously stated instability in the defensive coaching staff."

To answer your question, yes we're in his top 5. Do I think we'll get him, no. The DT/LB concern, it's still early. They're harder to evaluate, and haven't come to the recruiting websites yet. Just because Scout and Rivals doesn't know about them, doesn't mean they aren't out there. There's a couple kids we're in on early, and I'm sure we'll make a push later. One kid you can look up, who I had interviewed, but lost due to my computer crashing, is Sharrif Floyd. He's a big boy, and likes Michigan.

Dejoshua Johnson will probably not be a Michigan Wolverine. It wouldn't be too many WR's, but he's not as interested in coming here as we were originally led to believe.

There are a bunch of elitist bastards on this blog. Who cares about punctuation? We are posting on the internet, not writing a dissertation. And re grammar and intelligence: I have several grammatically challenged friends who are in fact very, very intelligent people. There are many measures of intelligence.

If I couldn't cook, I would stay out of the kitchen lest I start a fire. If I couldn't swim, I would stay out of the water lest I drown. If I couldn't write a semi-coherent argument or use basic grammar or punctuation, you can be 100% sure you wouldn't find me on an internet message board getting flamed. My dad always said "Stick to what you're good at".

yesterday. I remember one guy noting that he was reading the comments of something. He said that some posts were so poorly written that he didn't take the commenter seriously. It does reflect poorly on the poster, whether people think it does or not.

Desean, not everyone on this site are jerks like most of the ones replying to your post. This is why many people have stopped coming to this site, you only get snarky sarcastic replies. quoting ShockFX {My dad always said "Stick to what you're good at".} Maybe your dad should have told you "If you don't have anything positive to say, shut your damn mouth". Maybe your dad is an idiot or maybe your dad has an i.q. less than 50. Wait now.... Maybe your dad is actually your grandpa who slept with his daughter (your mom) and their spawn (you) is some horribly deformed mutant that won't show his nasty face in the light of day but instead takes out all his frustrations by being an asshole to people on the internet....That would explain a lot. Who the hell cares what your dad always says. What are you going to say next, "Punctuation means everything, and I know it does because my mommy always says so". Why don't you just go home and tell your mommy (or sister, whatever you call her) and daddy (or grandpa) that everyone hates you because they raised and asshole for a son!
