You're the only one making an issue out of it. I'm kind of curious how we "lose out" on a prospect we weren't actively recruiting. If every single recruit that goes elsewhere is a sign of the apocalypse, may as well drop both of us down to D-III right now. Otherwise, stop getting your information from five-month old sources.

I gotta somewhat, reluctantly agree with our favorite spinster here.

As long as it is remembered that when an Ohio boy, who wasn't offered or actively recruited by OSU, opts to go to skunkbear land that it too means OSU did not "lose out".

Hell, we didn't lose out on the last few traitors that had an OSU offer and went up north. I don't consider Crable, Burgess or MM a loss. Boren no longer has to fit that description as he appears to have seen the error of his ways and is coming back home to earn forgivness. :wink2:

Why are you still talking about Chad Henne in this thread? He'll be drafted in a few days. :wink2:

:lol: I think you are confused. It is understandable though. :wink:

Michigan recruits have no problem with Rodriguez's recruiting tactics

Interesting take on what recruits go through, especially with a change in head coach.

When Rich Rodriguez was the football coach at West Virginia, he recruited Trotwood-Madison High School receiver Roy Roundtree. The playmaker liked Rodriguez, but wasn't sure about the location.

"I think was thinking, 'West Virginia?' " Roundtree said, stringing out the end of the state's name. "I wasn't really feeling West Virginia."

Roundtree's dream school, he said, was Michigan, but the Wolverines and then-coach Lloyd Carr didn't show much attention. Wanting to guarantee a scholarship, Roundtree pledged to attend Purdue before his senior season at Trotwood began.

Then Carr retired. Michigan hired Rodriguez. Roundtree signed with Michigan and unintentionally provided ammunition to those who have criticized Rodriguez for his recruiting tactics, as Purdue coach Joe Tiller did in a USA Today story.

"You know what?" Roundtree said. "It was my decision."

. . . con't.

Newsome is high on you in April...GMAFB. When you pussies lose to Utah and have espn and every other CFB fan laughing their asses off at you again this year maybe his love for you clowns will die a little. My buddies in Bama are still laughing at you guys. Michigan was the laughing stock of CFB. Maybe the biggest upset in CFB history...if not damn close.
Man, I hope your Utah prediction is as spot-on as your instincts on Newsome.
