I'm still dumbfounded that Wheatley isn't a lock.

Also, I know 2016 is a long time out, but I'm surprised Lavert Hill verbaled to PSU. I had him down as a M lock. That said, I don't think M may still win out in the end, but it's certainly an indication that he's no lock.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

As I said earlier, he has to dominate the state. It's not a huge haul, but every year there's 3-6 kids that can really play. He should rarely miss on those kids.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Frankly, M football's ability to advance the value of guys who want to play at the next level is not established. I'm confident that will happen but its going to take a while.
I also don't think you can underestimate the pull of how a kid feels/fits in with/about each staff, other players that he visits on a commit decision..... and it can be fleeting in young men like this.
That explains a lot of head scratchers and has little to do with how well or how poorly a staff does on getting a commit from a highly recruited player and keeping him.
Its a total crap shoot in some cases.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

There are outliers but over the course of time a really good recruiter recruits really well relative to his resources. End of story. Hoke and his staff were very good recruiters.
No one should judge JH (positively or negatively) on his 2015 class. It's absolutely an atypical effort. But starting with 2016 and going forward it's on him.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

They produce about what you'd expect, in terms of top talent. Look at Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Virginia for states that the state does much better than. Illinois is similar. Ohio is an exception in terms of producing football talent as that states football culture is like that of the SEC which that culture spills into Pennsylvania.

UFM's 2013 class is a huge reason he just won a national title. Bosa, Bell, Barrett, Apple, Elliot, Marshall and.....Darron Lee. Consensus top 2 class (Scout had it at #1).
Obviously, it can be done. And, btw, of those 7 players, only 2 are from Ohio.
I think UFM's 2016 class will rate higher, but who knows if it produces as well.
JH has some work to do. It's not the pre-UFM B10 (thank you, Dave Brandon!).Last edited by iam416; February 1, 2015, 01:26 PM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
