UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[WM Wolverine]

Completely new name to me, I've got nothing but the insiders are at the camp so they should have something to tell us.

[WM Wolverine]

Couple new offers to kids at camps that were 2 stars.

Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomedddddddddddd.

His highlights look better than a few 4* LB'ers M has offered. Former safety so he's plenty athletic, takes good angles, knows how to tackle. Didn't see much taking on blockers so can't comment on that.

[iam416]

Did he have Auburn or Bama offers?

Also heard on OSU forum that M may flip Josh Mettullus(?). Is that for real?

[drok]

Consider me concerned about recruiting too.

[hack]

I think the concern is just gonna be there for a cycle.

Unprecedented success at University of San Diego, Stanford University and the San Francisco 49ers but NOT at his alma mater? Relax.

[The Oracle]

VoFR there.

[Mike]

Exactly. Elevate feet, open beer, enjoy success.

Watch his film and make your own evaluation rather than only noticing his star rating. Looks like a very good athlete that knows how to play football, presently undersized as a linebacker but has the frame to play above 230 lb's. Comparing only highlight reels, his is more impressive than many four stars. M btw might take up to 5 LB'ers in this class.

Nope. His only I-A offers are from Memphis and Troy.

*sigh* We're back to the "star rankings don't matter" days. Harbaugh may be pretending that the RichRod days didn't happen but he's keeping alive RichRod's greatest tradition.

Close your eyes, click your heels three times and say "star rankings don't matter, star rankings don't matter..."

[The Oracle]

If he were filling the whole class with these type of guys, you'd have a point. He isn't/won't, so you don't.

We've landed two or three 4 -stars in a row and now a 2 -star who is surely to rise for what it is worth.

Let's put this in a meaningful context.

No B1G team landed a "5 Star" recruit last year except Hoke with Chris Clark and of course he bolted when the F wad was fired. Harbaugh had a whole 2 weeks to almost White Knight him.

Ohio will claim a late 5-Star signing last season but consensus rating service averages prove otherwise, 4 to 4.5 ish.
