Theese coaches suck at recruiting. Am I doing this right?
You forgot his only take his Michigan.
Am I doing this right?
No you need to add another "e" to the word Theese.
This what we came for! I wanted smith, a safety, and this kid this weekend. Looks like we have done well this weekend.
Wait, what?
4* with a Bama offer. Go ahead and try to spin this one Bluey.
How about, it is not commitable, amirite???
I understand the frustration with Bluey but OSU and Alabama aren’t competing for nation titles with a team loaded with two and three star recruits.
$100 says Bluey says "Alabama offer is not commitable"
Lit lit lit. He and Charbonnet makes for an excellent RB haul.
Are we looking to land him and Wandale Robinson? Sounds good to me.
The RB position is very interesting in this class. Michigan had Giles Jackson, Eric Gray, and Wandale Robinson all visiting this weekend, and they're all similar players. Gray is getting crystal balls, Robinson says Michigan is his #1, and Jackson bothered to take an official to Michigan all the way from Oakland, CA, so he must be pretty interested, too.
I love Robinson, but he is a slot for us, I believe. He's at least a guy that we envision splitting out a good chunk of the time. He did an interview a little while back where he mentioned that Kentucky (I believe - I know it wasn't us) was the only school recruiting him to play tailback.
Sort of. From what I've heard, he's a guy they would try to get the ball to in different ways, including from the slot and out of the backfield (and on special teams).
Let’s be realistic Magnus the wildcat is the only other way they would try to get him the ball.
With Drevno yes, but he gone. Looking forward to some real innovation now, like when Fisch had more say the first couple years Harbaugh was here.
You realize Fisch was here for wildcat with Peppers?
That was all Drevno man. Why do you think Fisch left? Hint: It wasn't because he wanted to.
He did this several days ago. Would be a good pickup....finally.
Just fuck off already. We get it.
Every time you respond to Bluey you make him stronger. Just resist the urge to write anything.
Every second he loses having to constantly downvote my responses to him adds up to exactly 1.3 less craptastic posts per week.
You're welcome.
Msuizen is already spending an extra 10 seconds upvoting each and every one of his own posts as soon as he gets "save". Has anyone else noticed how quickly he garners an upvote each time he posts his garbage?
"gets" = hits. Damn autocorrect and lack of an edit function!
Plz piss off
Bluey
Then why didn't you post about it?
Oh yeah, right, it doesn't fit your "Michigan Sucks" narrative
Posting what you perceive to be bad offers / commits while ignoring the good ones shows you are just stirring up shit and are not a fan, no matter what other BS you claim
You mean like his claim that he is an alumnus? I admittedly have trouble with that one.
I don't know that I've eve met an alum that, even if they quote you the numbers as he does, sounds so beset with hopelessness and angst that they cannot just digest events and see what unfolds. I don't know that I've ever met someone with a deep cultural association with the university who is this negative about everything.
When he was Maizen he said he was a Western grad
Link?
So you admit you're Maizen?
You can still sign into your Maizen account. Just look back through your posting history. It should be pretty easy as you haven’t posted under that name since everything you though was wrong and all your predictions were shit
I’m close to leaving the blog completely. I don’t mind the discenting opinion, but it’s constant and totally disrespectful to the kids Michigan is recruiting. Not all of us are happy with how things are going, but this is abusive.
I don’t think this is exactly what this blog was meant to be.
Amen
Been thinking the same thing. I’ve been around for a long time, but I don’t want any part of some armchair loser publicy degrading kids because they don’t meet his standards. I imagine he’s only allowed to exist because the new site lacks the mechanics to Boliviate his dumb ass.
Recruits and and their families read this blog, I hope they realize it is literally one guy passing his uninformed and amateur hour judgement on them. I would bet a months salary he has never scored a touchdown, or caught a pass, or made a tackle in his pathetic life.
There are certainly a few really dragging this place to the ground anymore..
And the whole not being able to nuke an account thing.. if that truly is the result of this upgrade, someone should be punched in the face. I can't imagine it would take more then 5 minutes of googling around Drupal forums or tweaking code to get that fixed. This upgrade process has been amateur at best.
Yep. Inadvertently, this has become the place where the bottom 5% of the fan base comes to voice awful opinions about high schoolers. I sincerely doubt that is the intent of this site, but that’s where it is at the moment. It’s a terrible look for the fan base, and frankly we’ve had a lot of terrible looks as it pertains to football as fans. We should be better than that.
Magnus does the exact same thing but you all love it...
This is a very dumb place now.
I have yet to see Magnus run a kid down, particularly in a hello post. He may be guilty of being less than enthusiastic or even meh about a commit, but you’re gonna have to point out where he does the same shit as this asshole.
Is your only definition of a good recruit whether the player has 4 stars or more? That is such an arbitrary distinction, and far from an ideal analysis. And I understand the correlation of stars with success but that is such a simple cause and effect that ignores countless of other factors (ie offers, recent evaluations, what state do they reside, fit within a team's system, coach's previous success recruiting this position).
Additionally, not all 3, 4, or 5 star players are equivalent and this is a point you just can't seem to grasp. You don't think for yourself beyong looking at the star ranking and it's pathetic.
Thanks Eric for making this an incredible week to follow Michigan Recruiting, good luck making the squad and stay healthy where ever you go.
This kid is electric!
Some perspective:
Michigan is #16 in team recruiting rankings for 2019, and they're #2 in the Big Ten, according to the 247 Composite rankings.
Not a lot of upward mobility when you keep taking low ranked 3 stars. Will definitely get passed by PSU. Even last years disaster was still #3 in the B1G. Doesn't mean much when 19 out of the top 20 recruits in the conference were either going to OSU or PSU though.
Raise your hand if you thought Harbaugh would struggle to sign TOP 20! classes when he was hired. Hard to believe this is where we are.
Uhh, he didn't struggle to sign a TOP 20 class, he struggled to sign a small top10 class and then failed miserably to salvage anything and, in the end, took three "fliers" as recruiting inched gently into the #21 class.
But, by all means, keep believing in your "objectivity" when it comes to all this.
making a sign that says "Recruit better, Harbaugh" and waving it around on the Diag would be more effective in improving that than being angry on a sports blog. Please leave us alone.
What is it exactly that you hope to achieve by basically repeating this in different words all over this message board for weeks or months at a time? To convince people they should be as permanently aggrieved as you are about the state of Michigan football recruiting? It's just so tiring, dude.
interesting thing about Bluey is that he knows that the overwhelming majority of people in this community don’t want him here. yet he feels like it is his higher calling to inject his version of “reality” into the conversation. how arrogant is that. where else in real life do you know of people who continue to feel the need to visit a community that does not at all want them there?
