We did ok with Rashan Gary last year. And Asiasi.

of literally every school with the possible exceptions of OSU this year and Alabama every year.
On the guys you named: Weber and Kozan weren't 5 stars, Treadwell got paid, Diggs was a guy lots of schools shied away from, McDowell had a ton of friends at State and felt more comfortable there, Campbell committed on the spur of the moment at the BBQ and was never going to stay, Damien Harris left because Borges got fired, and Dee Hart got freaked out by the Rich Rod situation. In other words, it's recruiting, and stuff happens.

I think it is your demanding "excuses" if recruiting doesn't go as you would like that has people "freaked out" (i.e. questioning what your point is). Note to you: don't demand what no one can deliver (especially if they don't even want to deliver).

This seemed like a very calm blog conversation to me. You got negged, but you need to expect that will happen if you complain about football or recruiting. We as the readers and posters of this blog have declared that you may only complain about the basketball team

Thought of the day: Does anyone find whining attractive?
December 14th, 2016 at 4:01 PM ^
is that you're cherry picking like crazy. Every year, every single top school loses out on guys they were expected to get for most of the cycle while swooping in and nabbing someone unexpected. You're listing all the guys Michigan missed out on, while overlooking the guys Michigan stole late, which include Kyle Kalis, Prescott Burgess, Shawn Crable, Je'Ron Stokes, Mike Shaw, Ambry Thomas, Devin Funchess, Donovan Warren, Asiasi, etc. (whether all these guys worked out on the field is a different question, obviously). It's recruiting. People get so worked up about the unpredictability of 18 year old kids and want to construct these absurd narratives around the decisions of teenagers.
And if Michigan loses Peoples-Jones to OSU, I'll think what I've always thought: Urban Meyer is the best coach in college football by a very large margin.

Declaring "no shot" at Harris & Solomon??
December 14th, 2016 at 5:34 PM ^
We're not going to miss on DPJ. He will be Blue tomorrow night. Wilson would be a bummer but I believe he will be at Michigan too despite the latest ballz. We need to get him along with Ruiz.

Gary and Asiasi aren't the exceptions in your post. Harbaugh is, and that's why we got them. Michigan will always be good enough to be contenders for these guys, but closing comes down to standing out amongst the other elites. Harbaugh does that.
Only Weber factors in JH's time, and that was with very little time for JH to build a relationship with him.

True, but keep in mind that Damien Harris, George Campbell, and Dee Hart all decommitted at times when there were serious (and legitimate) questions about the job status of the head coach. My God, it feels weird to type that. Have we really fired two head coaches in the past six years? Jeebus.

According to a few of the recruiting gurus we've led about that long for Wilson too...

If he picks UGA, that would really mess up day three of my 12 Days of Commitmas lyrics.

I glanced at Georgia's VIP notes.
It looks like they trailed by a good distance going into his visit, but that the visit went very well. Still doesn't seem like people are all that confident in their circles.
I'll get worried if Webb or Wiltfong say the game has changed.
December 14th, 2016 at 3:39 PM ^
Also, Niebuhr (the 2nd Ball) has a few guesses toward the end of recruitments that turned out to be wrong. I'm not overly worried about him.

Too bad they didn't have him visit in July-August so he could see how miserable it can get and that you sweat your ball sack off after walking to get the mail. I'd rather have cold toes and damp socks from a blizzard and snow than soaked ball sack and boxers every day I walk outside. Rumor is that Urban pitches this same line except he shows recruits pictures of himself in whitey tighty briefs next to his NC trophies.
