Hopefully nobody here was among the folks booing yesterday. That doesn't help the team and that certainly doesn't leave a good impression on any of the recruits (in many sports) attending the game.

CJ Stroud is visiting M this weekend. He's a fast rising QB. However, Georgia and Ohio State are heavily involved and M is playing catch up. So, if UGa and OSU are involved you know he's been offered roughly $250K. M is already way behind in comfort and relationships. So, HARBAUGH!!!! and GATTIS!!! are going to have to really sell him on how spectacular M is to overcome the manifest recruiting inequities M faces. Obviously, if he chooses M then money was not a factor and, of course, if chooses anywhere else he was bought.

I was reading about him last night, Harbaugh and Gattis visited him. The late start is because Michigan QB recruit JD Johnson football career has ended due to complications stemming from a coarctation of his aorta, a heart issue, that cannot be treated through surgery.

Yes, I know why they are in on him late, but they still are. And Georgia and Ohio State and their respective armies of bagmen were in much earlier. So, I'm not sure why M is even bothering given the manifest institutional inequities they face in this situation.

Anyway, Stroud is real good.

Gattis doesn't have enough of those 'burner' cards Liney was talking about for us to have any real chance.

Michigan's recruiting situation is fairly simple. They have to keep trying. They're likely to strike out more often than hitting a grand slam, but they have to keep trying.

It is what it is.

I just find it interesting that HARBAUGH!!! is recruiting a player with such poor character that he's obviously taking money.

Gattis doesn't have enough of those 'burner' cards Liney was talking about for us to have any real chance.

I doubt Gattis is the one giving them out, but maybe he is.

If I was a rich M booster, I'd probably do the same thing. M needs the help.

Alabama bagmen already have a commitment from a 5-star QB or we would be plying him with pork skins and Miller High Life.

Let's make one thing perfectly clear -- college athletes aren't just going to benefit from their likeness. They are going to benefit from their performance. There will be no enforceable cap on what a recruit can be paid, which means that any amount of money will be thrown around with a straight face that it is for your "likeness", an autograph, etc.
