There are a few a year for which Michigan battles Stanford because the kid genuinely is into the academics, but those are few and far between. And Michigan isn't going to turn away players others would take based on academic concerns in the vast majority of cases.

There aren't a few a year. It's far more rare.
I reject recruiting as altruistic endeavor. Entirely. Others may not. JH does satellite camps for the benefit of JH and M.
I'm still unclear how one says M doesn't take FUMA players when they have, in fact, admitted a player from FUMA in the past. M has also had JUCO players in the past.
You remain remarkably wrong on this overall issue, Geezer. I respect your opinion. But when it comes to certain aspects of M, you suffer from the worst caricatures of M fans. You HC was absolutely correct when he called out M's efforts to "educate" football players. But, if you must carry on with the illusion that Rashan Gary and Kareem Walker and, Peppers, and, lol, Willie Henry would all get into M if they weren't athletes and are all outstanding students, so be it.Last edited by iam416; January 14, 2016, 11:29 AM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

WM Wolverine, our new DL Don Brown has been assigned the late recruitment of Joshua Uche, apparently has an official scheduled with Michigan but Miami, Auburn, Bama and Florida are the schools to beat.
Local Miami, Fl kid, Any traction? realistic chance?"Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."

Hanni:
By and large, JUCOs are not preferred by B10 schools. This is for 2007-2010:
Big Ten (3.4 per team over 4 yrs.)
Minnesota, 16
Indiana, 5
Purdue, 5
Illinois, 4
Michigan State, 2
Penn State, 2
Michigan, 1
Iowa, 1
Wisconsin, 1
Ohio State, 0
Northwestern, 0

As far as Ohio State goes, they've signed 1 JUCO kid under UFM -- Corey Smith.
I don't think Fickell signed any. So, since 2007, M and OSU have signed the same number of JUCO kids.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Heh. K-State signed THIRTY-NINE between 2007 and 2010.
Kudos to K-State for giving African-American students another scholarship choice, a choice certain schools refuse to provide. Bravo, KSU, for doing all you can to provide opportunity to black kids. And some white kids. Provided they can play ball.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

C'mon, Talent. OSU's scam is FUMA. Attached is a photo of Cardale Jones and Mike Thomas marching together. They were roommates.

You are correct in using the singular in saying UM has taken a player from FUMA. I was railing about blanket statements, then I make one. UM took one, Chris Perry. My bad.Last edited by Da Geezer; January 14, 2016, 12:18 PM.

Not sure what you mean Froot. Did UM have 44 seniors on senior day?
It would be my fondest wish that JH changes the handicap UM has imposed on themselves. I've always maintained that UM recruits with one hand behind their back, and I'd love for that to change. It's a competitive business, and it is high time UM competes on a level field.Last edited by Da Geezer; January 14, 2016, 12:24 PM.
