UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[drok]

I'm all for us being more aggressive with recruiting, but pulling a guy's scholarship 2 weeks before signing day after being committed for 2 years and through a coaching change is pretty rough. Word on twitter is that Harbaugh wasn't even the one to call him and tell him that they were pulling the offer.

If that's what actually happened, then that's crossing the line into territory I'm not comfortable with.

4-Star Connor Murphy (DE/LB) has to be a lock. Harbaugh sleepover, his older brother Trent played for him at Stanford, current Washington Redskins LB. The whole family arrives in AA this weekend.

This whole sleepover thing is a bit odd.

Me too, drok. Given what we know so far, I guess key for me would be how long in advance he was notified that, at least, this would be a possibility. And, yeah -- have Harbaugh himself make the call if that's the case.

Like I said yesterday, I can't see Bo doing it. He would say, "Son, you come to Michigan to compete! To win the Big Ten and get a Michigan degree!"

He wouldn't say, "So what kind of cookies should we bake?"

Ah yes, the great and mighty Bo...5-12 in bowl games, 2-8 in the Rose Bowl. Has there ever been a better coach???????

[Rocky Bleier]

And he still owned your team.

No.

Bo was the man.

[lineygoblue]

Bo was the man a lot of other teams wished they had.

Who is this guy Lem B and what is he doing on a UM forum?

[UMStan White]

Bo was the most overrated coach in college football. How many yeas did he go in a row not winning his final game of the season? Best finish 2nd. Too bad he didn't take the offer to go Texas A & M.

[UMStan White]

At least Lem B knows more about football and Bo than Geezer

So, the question is why? This kid is highly rated, why doesn't Harbaugh want him?

Not trolling. Simply can't comprehend y'all acting like Bo was Bear Bryant or something.
