DeJoshua not too interested in M

Submitted by Jerard on
ESPN Pahokee star De'Joshua Johnson six schools on top ESPNU 150 Watch Lister De'Joshua Johnson told affiliate Web site InsideTheU.com, "I have a top five with Miami, Florida State, South Florida, West Virginia, and Alabama. Actually I have a top six because I have to throw Tennessee in there somewhere." Well, I guess Lane Kiffin's comment about Pahokee didn't faze D-Johnson.

I want a Michigan man playing at Michigan!! If this guy doesn't have us in his top 6 right now, I don't even want us to try and get him to change this mind. Oh wait, that line of thinking is retarded. May posters (I'm looking at you WestWolverine) never say this type of asinine thing again.

That's amazing. I thought people only said that shit jokingly. Do you mean to tell me that you think all of our players had always liked Michigan or even had us in their top 3/4/5/20 at the beginning of the recruiting season? If so, I don't know what to tell you. You are just wrong. The type of kids we go after have the choice of almost any school they want. They have to be sold on us. Do you think some kid from Pahokee, FL grew up studying the Wolverines? What's wrong with you? If they aren't high on Michigan now, we need to talk to them until they understand why they should come here.

My line of thinking is not always right, so you can disagree. However, this time I'm right, and you are wrong. So I will overlook the sarcasm of your response and take it as though you mean it. But seriously, that's why coaches recruit. Great players don't just come to us, you have sell them on the program. Kinda the way things work, sorry you did not realize that.

Rivals only hands out 5* ratings to those that that'll be All American candidates and most likely go pro. It is really hard to give that rating to a WR if he's under 6'2" just because thats the way the stats play out.

And smallish 5-star WR's in the recent past have been successful (Ginn, Harvin for example). So if they're going to give that rating to a smallish guy, I think they have to be can't-miss types.

(Head down, eye's closed, hands together)...God, please make this kid a 5 star prospet. I know you have a lot to do, but nothing would make me laugh harder than Magnus punching himself in the balls. Idiocracy in it's finest form!
