:roll2: Since logic isn't your strong suit, I'll extend an olive branch.

1) I didn't say it sucked, so quoting me is pretty foolish. I've questioned the 'beef' (trenches) recruiting, but that's a far cry from this hyperbole. I actually think RR is doing pretty well at certain positions, and last year's maintenance and close was impressive.

2) Even if I did say that, something happening now doesn't change the evaluation back then. When UM won 7-8 in a row, it didn't change how they were doing in early September.

It is all relative....sucks compared to OSU. :wink2:

BTW, lets wait till the kid at least visits to chalk him up on the UM board...whattayasay?

I think UM is doing fine on speed..but who is going to take care of the trenches? Even in the spread blocking remains kinda significant...Even RR can't coach hs way out of not owning the LOS.

Never said we were going to get Darius Winston , but some of you are going overboard saying our recruiting is terrible.

The only one I've seen go overboard is brutus2002 but even he has brought up some valid points. Dick Rod has shown he can get skill position players but I'd be very concerned about both of your lines if I were you. You're already thin this year and so far you only have one commit and from what I have seen, don't seem to be in on many other top linemen. Doesn't matter what scheme you run or how fast your receivers and running backs are. You need linemen.

You never said you were getting Winston and I never said your recruiting is terrible. I'll be damned...seems we have *something* in common.:tongue2:

So one decommit from another program listing you all as a favorite totally swings things? Did you all suddenly get an influx of OL & DL recruits? I've never said scUM's recruiting sucks outright, but I'm certainly questioning DickRod's strategy of loading up on any slot that will say yes.

No need to send him running for the dictionary.

I confess I have been very critical of Michigan's recruiting. I have some valid points that I have brought up.

Michigan has given out around 100 offers since last fall for 2009. They have 8 commits last time I checked and only lead for 2-3 players and now lead for a decommit from ARK.

If you look at the top 25-30 propspects ACCORDING TO THE RECRUITING SERVICES BY POSITION AND OVERALL RANKINGS Michigan has a legit shot at about 5 of them and the rest are pipedreams...thats not good my friend. Heck theres more players that will commit to OSU in their top 25 prospects than Michigan...go look if you don't believe me.

Michigan has little or no depth at DE...thats has to be every concerning. Your OL has to be a concern no matter if theres a new offense at Michigan. QB has to be a concern even though you have a commitment from Newsome because it will be a battle up until signing day. There are a few talented DB's at Michigan but the lack of depth should be concerning.
If your honest with yourself you will look at the roster and be concerned.

This year Michigan had better get on their horses on the defensive side of the ball. The current talent and depth of the overall defense of Michigan isn't all that impressive. I will admit last years linebacker class may help a couple years down the road.

Michigan better stop recruiting in the south and start worrying about their home state and the midwest. Recruiting Mississippi and Maryland will only get you so far.
