2009 TSUN News (football only discussion)

I'll agree to that. Sounds fair enough.

You have to admit that UM did experience some major setbacks from players not panning out, either due to academics, or transfers.
osu's weak 03 class was decimated by attrition. The majority of that class washed out, whether on the field or off of it. Their 04 class did not pan out well either.

Msu would have won 8 or 9 games last year with Nichol imo. He was a spartan until John L was axed. Hoyer was decent at times this year, but was worse overall than other sparty qbs like smoker, Stanton,
Etc.

Attrition is part of the game.

What I can't figure out is how um couldn't find a walkon to throw the football in practice. Sheridan is awful, cone is brutal, threet had no accuracy whatsoever. It seems like somewhere in the large state of Michigan they could find someone to execute simple bubble screens, swing passes and 5 yard bootleg passes.

Osu found an excellent guy for this in Siems. He can't handle the pressure and responsibilities of a live game, but he throws a very nice ball in practice situations. With only two qbs on scholarship, he was a big asset. Ross Oltorik as well.

Lo Wood committed to ND!!! OUCH!!!! Things are not going well with our neighbors up north. GBW acted like that kid was in the bag. 2our their top defensive recruits dropped the bomb on them.

Thats been commonly accepted up there for a while now and not a big loss at all really. If it was a DT or real LB prospect they felt good about , "ouch" might qualify.

Certainly a lot of information going out there. GBW reported one morning that UM dropped him, then that afternoon another writer reported the opposite. :huh:

Yeah, this whole recruiting season has been very weird. The way it's going, the final 8 months will surely drive some people bonkers.
