UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Jeff Buchanan]

Maybe .......

I was pissed after the November, 2015 beat down in AA at the hands of M's hated rival.

That it happened in JH's first game against osu/meyer made it sting more. If I was pissed and hurt by that game, can you imagine Harbaugh's experience?

I think that translates in some meaningful way going into c-bus next season. I have a hard time believing that it won't. And, yes, I know there is still a talent gap and jimmys and joes are more important that x's and o's, emotion, all of that.

But Harbaugh got his face rubbed in it. I don't think osu under meyer will ever ass-rail M like that again.

At the very least, some lube is in order.

24/7 says Peters & McCaffery represent the best back-to-back duo in country for 2016/17.

[WM Wolverine]

Really, really like McCaffery; probably a 5-star. Very good athlete too, he's a threat to pick up a first down and then some if his receivers are covered. He's going to help recruit and some blue chip WR's have taken notice of his commitment. They'll need a blue chip offensive tackle or two and DPJ and the offense is nearly set for the '17 class...

They are in some 'national' recruits at running back though it's a lil' early in their recruitment. Hopefully M can pair a super, athletic running back with Kareem Walker. Kurt Taylor makes me think of a more athletic De'Veon Smith, which is a compliment however I see limited upside...

Stritzinger is probably next most likely to commit, along with probably Corey Malone-Hatcher DE. I assume they'll bring in Stritzinger as an athlete and find out his position later, it's debated what his best position is at this point and what position he projects best at.

[WM Wolverine]

Quite a few new names on the recruiting board that are long shots till we get them on campus but they've shown mutual interest in M. Hopefully M can close on a good number of in-state kids in March, April when they have their junior days, spring practices.

College spun ranks schools by the caliber of their head football/basketball coaches combined. MSU is # 1, OSU #2, UM #4

[Mike]

I'm still amazed at how much love Beilein gets from the media and other coaches. I would think if you combine one of the best coaches in the country with a major athletic program with brand new facilities, you would see... you know... a really good basketball team.

[hack]

Somebody ought to make a meme-y flowchart satire of all the ways certain Michigan fans have to arrive at the conclusion that Beilein is an elite coach.

Well shit I tried to do it using ASCII art but this forum fucks with all of the spaces.

[Rocky Bleier]

McCaffrey is the next Tom Brady. Not really, I just wanted to post the new avatar...

[lineygoblue]

Rocky, you got me in trouble with my wife not long ago. She walked behind my computer one day while I was sitting there and said "What are you looking at?"

[jaadam4]
