If it were Michigan, a guy like Rosenberg would break the story at the worst possible moment (on purpose) and then we would look like wimpy assholes apologizing for it.

The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.

C'mon Talent, you are better than this.
The really objectional thing that UFM did was to threaten to pull Alabi's scholarship if Weber re-committed to UM. Why include Weber's classmate in the mess, and why treat that young man (Alabi) like a chunk of meat. And your reaction was something like "Alabi will be fine in Miami", and "I figured he was the weakest recruit anyway". What kind of sick coach threatens a third person in order to get a commitment?
As for Weber, he protected his friend. And he learned that if you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.
UFM might learn something from John Bielien about honoring verbal commitments with scholarships even when circumstances change.

Stupid fucking M slappy apologist.
Andy Staples from SI.com answering questions on recruiting, and the first questions is about UM.
From @Jon_Star: Michigan's recruiting classes have had fewer than 20 players in each of the last two years. Just disappointing or yiiiikes?
It's almost as if the Wolverines had a coach on the hot seat in 2014 and a new coach with a little more than a month to fill a class in '15. Oh, wait. That's exactly what happened. Neither situation is ideal for recruiting purposes. Now add in the fact that Brady Hoke's staff brought in a combined 52 players in the '12 and '13 classes. The Big Ten has the strictest rules against oversigning; schools may never go more than three over the 85-scholarship limit -- even if they expect to lose more than three to attrition. Michigan's '14 and '15 classes were never going to be huge.
Jim Harbaugh left Wednesday with a few scholarships open, and that's understandable. He could use them on transfers like former Houstonquarterback John O'Korn, who tweeted on Thursday that he was headed to Ann Arbor. Harbaugh can also pocket a few of those scholarships for early enrollees in the class of 2016. He is already recruiting those players, and is going to have a better chance at getting the ones he wants once he has time to build relationships. The first recruiting class is always a scramble, and Harbaugh faced a steep climb with the members of the '15 class. Since Hoke was a fired coach walking for much of last season, many of the top recruits who normally might've considered Michigan wrote off the program because they didn't know who would replace Hoke. By the time Harbaugh got hired in late December, most players' decisions were made.
Given Harbaugh's history of winning, it shouldn't be difficult to get 2016 prospects interested. It makes sense that he wouldn't use every available scholarship now.

Weber should just get a lawyer and challenge this LOI business once and for all.
"I think Urban Meyer will have to step his game up; we're going to have to talk," Cass Tech football coach Thomas Wilcher told Detroit Sports 105.1 on Friday. "He has come to my school and got the No. 1 athlete two years in a row.
"You cannot come over here, come up to the north and walk out of here with your pockets full and not give us respect.
"That's not gonna happen again, I can tell you that right now."
Wilcher told 105.1 he has talked to Weber several times, and that Weber is not happy at all.Wilcher was asked by 105.1 host Matt Dery if Weber would be sticking with Ohio State, and he wouldn't say that.He said Weber is talking things over with his family and figuring out what his options our [sic].
I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.
