  • He's all M.
    Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
    Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.

    • Lots of smoke surrounding LB Asmar Bilal right now too. A commitment might be imminent.

      • Could also soon catch fire. Or maybe he's just onstage at a concert.

        • Pelini has a good idea:

          CHICAGO -- Nebraska Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini caused a stir last month when he brought up the idea of eliminating national signing day altogether.Several coaches in the Big 12 and Pac-12 told ESPN.


          This would surely lessen the "feel good" offers that get extended by Alabama and Ohio.

          • No signing date = Great idea. All offers should be binding. Wouldn't that change the game?

            Urban Meyer: "Son, I see you just received an offer from Michigan. We'd like to offer you a scholarship to Ohio State."

            Prospect: "Can I borrow your pen?"

            Urban: "Let's not be hasty, now."

            • I think that it would be mostly unenforceable though.

              IMHO one rule change that they really need to make is four-year schollies + no oversigning. Make everyone play by the same rules.

              • Yeah, I agree.

                • Yup, Asmar Bilal is a M vs ND battle that apparently there is good information out there among insiders that he's likely to be a Wolverine.

                  • Pelini's idea is so simple, that it might just work.

                    • Good idea but not going to happen ...... Why?

                      Because the SEC is structured to advantage itself in the current recruiting environment.

                      Pelini's idea ends that advantage.

                      • Michigan, apparently, only has 4 outstanding offers out there because Hoke would never offer more players than he has room for. Heh.

                          STFU .... you know there's more to it than that. I know you know that I don't need to 'splain' that to you, Lucy.

                          • c'mon Talent. You are better than that. This idea is simply "offer and acceptance".

                            I can place an offer on three separate houses as long as everyone understands that the first to accept is the only one I am obligated to take.

                            Pelini's idea is a nightmare to the SEC and to "certain other schools using SEC tactics". Scholarship offers should not be used to puff up a student's ego. Actually, the college could offer a kid, but state clearly that the kid couldn't accept before a date certain (like February 1).

                            The more I think about it, the better I like it. Schools could categorize the football and basketball players as employees (give them $ 3,000 per semester to avoid Title IX), and then let schools extend 105, five-year scholarships for football and 17 for basketball.

                            Talent is quite right that there is almost a total correlation between recruiting and on-the-field success. I think Pelini's idea levels the field against the cheaters.
