LordJeffBuck;1387057; said:When Michigan starts getting "good recruiting classes", then maybe you can make that argument. And by "good recruiting classes", I mean kids who can actually play, and not kids who are highly ranked by some recruiting guru who has seen five minutes of highlight films.
Maybe you should consider all of the out-of-state players who have transferred, were booted, or busted out recently - Sam McGuffie, Ryan Mallett, Matt Gutierrez, Pierre Rembert, Jeff Zuttah, Jason Forcier, Eugene Germany, Quinton McCoy, David Cone, Zion Babb, Jason Kates, Max Martin, Avery Horn, LaTerryal Savoy, Brett Gallimore, Grant DeBenedictis, Doug Dutch, Marques Slocum, Jeremy Ciulla, Keston Cheathem, Johnny Sears, and you can probably add perennial problem child Adrian Arrington to the list of players who were not exactly welcomed back to Ann Arbor....
Now consider that most of your best recent players have been from Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, that is, your local recruiting area - Braylon Edwards, Gabe Watson, Jason Avant, Willis Barringer, Jake Long, Prescott Burgess, LaMarr Woodley, Shawn Crable, Chad Henne, Tim Jamison, Will Johnson, Mario Manningham, Zoltan Mesko, Terrance Taylor, Brandon Graham, Obi Ezeh, and Morgan Trent....
Yeah, maybe you've got a point - it just doesn't matter where the kids come from....

I heard he verballed to UM but they rejected him because his high school was too close to UM's campus....

Whatever do you mean... Pitt - West Virginia is a pretty big deal too you know...Jaxbuck;1388168; said:I know its not real scientific but I have a 2-10-1 record from a certain outsider coach that I'll put up as proof of why I believe in this for players and coaches.
Woody vs scUM: 16-11-1
Earl vs scUM: 5-4
Coop: 2-10-1
JT: 7-1 and counting
You either grow up indoctrinated in our culture and understand what The Game really means or you do not. I think players can be brought along to a certain degree but coaches set the tone.
As soon as RR started trying to downplay The Game as just another rivalry game I knew we had our man.
