UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Mike]

Yeah, he was essentially bashing the NCAA and warned other programs that the NCAA will be very tough to deal with from now on.

OTOH, Desmond Howard was spot on with his analysis. He blasted the people whining about how unfair this is to the current PSU players by pointing out that they HAVE a choice but the victims didn't. Players can choose to stay at Penn State or transfer somewhere else. They will still be able to play football. There are greater travesties in the world.

After the Holtz bit ESPN really outdid themselves by having Gene Chizick on to discuss the sanctions. That ended my 3 minute experiment with ESPN's coverage this morning.

re: PSU transfers...

They can transfer and be eligible immediately... They can also transfer and the receiving team CAN go over the limit of 85 but the next season, they have to be under by that same figure; e.g. if M takes Anthony Zettel and is at 86 (hypothetically, M has room for 6 scholarship players but they have a handful of walk-ons that will get them), they have to only have 84 scholarship players in '13.

[UMStan White]

Personally I say fuck any Penn State 2012 recruits such as Zettel. They knew what they were signing up for and now that it's bitten them in the ass, let them play for a program that is going nowhere for four plus years.

[WM Wolverine]

Zettel was '11, redshirted last year... 4 more years left...

[UMStan White]

I still say fuck him.

[WM Wolverine]

Silas Redd, Zettel & Jordan Hill are the three names that pop out at me. Khairi Fortt too.

[WM Wolverine]

Every non senior eats up a scholarship from the '13 recruiting class, so numbers say M probably won't add anyone unless it's a senior like Redd.

re: B10 rules on transferring...

Delaney hinted that they might refuse PSU's ability to stop them in this instance.

WIth the Fitz situation, do they have any good RB's that we had ties to?

[DennisT]

I still say fuck him.

You and Sandusky both.

[Paul L]

Curt Warner or Ki-Jana Carter would be nice.

[Da Geezer]

What the F--- is Fitz thinking. Is there any precedent we can look to to see how long he will be out. Probably miss the Alabama game.

[Da Geezer]

My oh my. Welcome Ross Douglas says mgoblog. 4 star cornerback recruit. Decommits from PSU and signs with Michigan

[Hannibal]

Rumors that Silas Redd is on his way to USC. Fuck
