UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

...... do you mean Kozan will go to Iowa if Diamond chooses M?

I just don't get that kind of logic. You either like what you see or you don't.

I just have to wonder who is talking to these young men in any kind of serious way about their futures, educations, about the kind of character they need to show.

[WM Wolverine]

I dunno what is going on in Kozan's head but imo if Diamond chooses M, Kozan will see even more competition for playing time in AA. He MIGHT be waiting to see what Diamond does before he commits.

[SeattleLionsFan]

As I understand it Kozan and Diamond are very different players.

Boelema and Alvarez have made an official complaint to the Big Ten offices about UFM's recruiting tecniques (2-2-7:00 pm)

[WM Wolverine]

Ohio probably all ready self reported those, they are great at that.

[Chuck Mallory]

I don't get waiting past singing day either. Whats the point of NSD if you can wait til later to sign? Like I said earlier...its too much damn hoopla.

[Chuck Mallory]

BTW, Urban f'in Meyer is a crook! Can't wait til he has osu on probation! There I said it!

Why would they self-report non-violations?

Inside joke, Talent, knew you wouldn't get it...

[Chuck Mallory]

serious question talent. Do you think coaching staffs look at rivals and scout to find information or watch film? Or even to see what other schools have offered the athlete. It does seem like those sites would be helpful for them.

Anyone know when Diamond is announcing today?

[Hannibal]

7 PM CST supposedly.

[Optimus Prime]

Neil Devlin reports that Kozan is "taking his time and hoping to make the right move," so this could be a situation that takes a few days to be resolved. Michigan is likely more than willing to wait, as landing Kozan when all is said and done would be a nice surprise. If Michigan somehow managed to land both Kozan and Diamond after National Signing Day, then some recruiting rankings would likely need to be revised. Each player is a four-star recruit, and Michigan would likely receive a bump in the rankings if it can land even one of them.

Thanks Hanni

Wow .....

If Kozan were a highly rated skill player that was likely to leave for the NFL early, I could see the value of his "right move" thinking. But he's on offensive lineman for God's sake. It's going to take him 5 years to develop into an NFL ready player.

I doubt there is a substantial difference between the S&C programs and OL coaching at Iowa, M or any of the programs that have offered him. So, to me this is a guy who likes the limelight ........ interesting shift in character for the typical hog that plays in the trenches.
