In all seriousness, it will definitely be an adjustment for the moralists among us, and I count myself there. Brian did cover how Harbaugh treated some Stanford commits he wasn't interested in anymore, and I didn't like it. When you stick to the rules but aren't all that nice to the kids, I guess you get to hold your head high in public but is that really fair? I don't know. And we don't know what he's really telling them behind closed doors. So I can't say I'm entirely comfortable with it, but, then again, the world's a nasty place, nice guys finish last, etc. etc. There looks like there very well may be some uncomfortable moments in the future.Last edited by hack; January 19, 2016, 04:57 PM.

Drumfour better clinch it for Gary.

Huge recruiting weekend coming up, most of M's top targets that haven't already taken an official should be in Ann Arbor... Closer to this weekend, I should have a pretty lengthy list of all the visitors this upcoming weekend...
Eddie McDoom WR/ATH is looking at M again after decommitting from Oregon. Good chance he ends up a Wolverine...
M is loading up on WR/ATH types, staff wants to mold some of these guys into safeties and linebackers once they get on campus. McDoom fits the bill as does Brad Hawkins, Ahmir Mitchell, Curtis Enis along with other targets like Pie Young, Donald Stewart.

Brian comes off as asshurt. Why care about OSU's megadeal? But if you do, 15/169 vs 15/252 is rather clear. I guess he'd rather get $100 than $25 + a new car because CASH! But in the real world goods have value.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.

Curtis Enis? Heh.
Yeah, if they take Gary'S friend he better be a lock.
Re Swenson, IMO it's clearly a matter of being recruited over late in the game. JH had ample time to tell him to look elsewhere. Hoke offer or not.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.

For '16? No... M is going to have to live with who they already have (caveat being a grad transfer), I don't think it's as bad as some fear but the LB position is far from being a strength...
In '17, yes. After a year in S&C and learning the defensive playbook, LB assignments , LB is a position where you can step in and be ready in year 2. I'll be quite impressed if Bush Jr., Gil, etc. can be more than competent in year 1...
M is recruiting a couple safeties Khaleke Hudson and Isaiah Simmons who are a decent bet to move down to LB at the college level.

M's deal is 11 years, $122mil... They'll re-negotiate before the option years, still it shows that the Buckeyes 'brand' has eclipsed M with the programs going in two different directions. M sold as much apparel as anyone in the early-to-mid 2000's...
All thanks to two ELITE coaches at OSU (Tressel and Meyer) and two all-time worst at M (Hoke and RichRod).

For every $100 worth of equipment/clothing gives OSU (RETAIL PRICING), Nike actually spends about $28.50 manufacturing in sweatshops in Indochina.
Of course the formula is far from perfect but you get the idea.
Nike's average costs for a $100 shoe
Per Shoe Cost Income Statement Percent of Revenue
$25.00 Factory FOB Cost
$1.00 Sea Freight and Insurance
$2.50 Duty
$28.50 Landed Cost (57% of Revenue) Cost of Goods 57%
$15.00 SG&A 30%
$2.00 Tax 4%
$4.50 Profit 9%
$21.50 Mark-up (43% of Revenue) 43%
$50.00 Wholesale Price Revenue 100%
$50.00 Retail Mark-up (100% of Revnue)
$100.00 Suggested Retail
