2020 ttun Shenanigans, Arguments, and Surrender Cobras (Confirmed COWARDS!)

That is the culture up there: telling each other how fucking special they are. And that is why they fail.








And you'll notice I saved the best for last.

Candles and Excel spreadsheets... what is that guy the MS paperclip?

I cant wait for Schiano to supplant them.

Picked on is kind language. Very kind.

I guess " Made him his bitch" would be more accurate.

In which the Ministry of Excuses tries to make sense of their lousy (primarily Don Brown) defensive recruiting. *Spoiler* It ain't pretty...and it ain't getting better.

The most fun is reading them trying to convince themselves Josh Matellus was a good player.

Those twats would be better served adopting the Mark Dantonio strategy of going after some higher rated three star and low four star players in Ohio rather than raiding football powerhouse Massachusetts.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

I'd like to see a comparison between Ohio State and tsun on who hits more frequently with 3 stars. You could use several metrics: drafted in first 3 rounds, All B1G etc. I'll bet that we have more hits with comparatively fewer overall 3 stars because of coaching, culture and competition within the program.

Maybe Jim Harbaugh is producing mentally weak teams. One fumble and all a sudden it's a trainwreck? And yet, that's exactly what happens.

This team is physically and mentally soft.

Man, if hitting on a 3-star is Metellus, I hope their secondary remains full of 3-stars they hit on for years and years to come.

The main point of the article seems to be this: "Sure, our three-star guys suck, but our only other options were different three-star guys who also suck." Basically, trying to convince the DFBIA that chicken shit is really chicken salad.

The valid question is one of evaluation: if they [scUM coaching staff] do go after #44, does that mean #44 should be #5, or is something else going on? Maybe history knows.

History lesson: Ohio State has the #5 guy. Michigan has the #44 guy. Ohio State has won 15 out of 16.

DE/DT CARLO KEMP was the scion of an NFL house, a low four-star or high three-star projected to SDE despite DT'ish characteristics because of his size, a low-floor type who had an early growth spurt and was not expected to get much bigger than 280, meaning the ceiling was a Jibreel Black or Greg Banks. He became a well-liked program guy, too-undersized NT who shined against Army and got abused by Ohio State last season, his first at nose.

This somehow qualifies as a "three-star win" in the eyes of the DFBIA.

FS JOSH METELLUS is a good way to know if the person you're arguing with is worth bothering. A mainstay for three years in Michigan's secondary, Metellus's physical limitations did cost Michigan in alignment, but that was a small issue that was never really about him so much as the other safeties he played with. Small and cornerbackish, he didn't have the truck stick hits nor the flashy plays that recruiting sites look for, but for what he provided he's one of the most underrated recruits in recent memory.

In those three years, Ohio State scored 159 points (53 points per game) with 11 TD passes (3.67 per game).

DT MICHAEL DWUMFOUR was a first step in search of a football player, a close friend of Rashan Gary, and a PSU commit. He came extremely raw player with a ceiling of "Mo Hurst but big." After super-hyped offseason in 2018 that turned out to mean bupkis, Dwumfour battled injuries and was surprisingly not offered a 5th year, which suggests the coaches were seeing things our scouting was not. What we saw was a terrible run defender and promising pass-rusher.

#TrustTheCoaches

WLB DEVIN GIL was Flanagan's other safety, but a real flier recruit for Michigan as a guy they hoped would be able to pack on pounds and play a safety-ish OLB role. This Gil surprisingly managed, and in 2018, as a redshirt sophomore, Devin got the majority of snaps from platoonmate Josh Ross. Our scouting thought this should have been reversed, and last season Ross and then Bush-like Cam McGrone passed Gil, who will play his final year of eligibility for USF.

47 tackles, 3.5 TFLs in three seasons, then a transfer to a mid-major. But count Devin Gil as a win for Dr. Blitz!

KWITY PAYE is the most similar to some of the 3-stars Michigan's grabbed since, but nobody can say he hasn't been a major success. Not a great pass rusher, Paye has been adequate at that while matching Rashan Gary for run defense. He's also a coach favorite and likely team captain. Didn't start playing football until late so maybe not exactly like the other questionable East Coasters.

scUM definitely needs more "major successes" like Kwity Paye.

CB GEMON GREEN ... SDE TAYLOR UPSHAW ... SS SAMMY FAUSTIN ... CB VINCENT GRAY ... DE/DT JULIUS WELSCHOF ... ATH MICHAEL BARRETT ... FS GERMAN GREEN

Dr. Blitz's 2018 brood of three-star wannabes. I'm guessing that most of the scUM fanbase has never even heard of these guys.

Just look at this list of SDE-like players since the 2018 class:

• Julius Welschof, 6'6/248 (was 278 as of last year)
• Taylor Upshaw, 6'4/240 (265)
• Michael Morris, 6'6/260 (262)
• Gabe Newburg, 6'5/230 (250)
• Braiden McGregor, 6'6/248
• Aaron Lewis, 6'5/235
• Kris Jenkins, 6'4/239
• T.J. Guy, 6'4/230
• Dominic Giudice, 6'4/250

Just look at all those 50 burgers that Ohio State is going to put up.

I think the lesson here is Brown intends to build his defense like Clemson's: a solid base of players selected for specific traits he needs, mixed with superior athletes.

Except without the superior athletes part....

and all a sudden

this one could've used some online classes.

Metellus was a mainstay in TDs in The Game. Only Brandon Watson outshined him in this regard, but once he graduated, Josh was unmatched.

Except without the superior athletes part....

Christian Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence, Clelin Ferrell, Xavier Thomas, KJ Henry, Bryan Bresee, Myles Murphy.

All 5-stars, except Ferrell. All on the DL. Meanwhile Michigan doesn't bother to recruit DTs.

That list doesn't even include their many other DL studs like Capeheart.

Paraphrasing an interaction I saw recently which I enjoyed.

DFBIA #1: we’re great at developing 3-stars, look at how many become starters!

DFBIA #2: well no shit they become starters, we literally don’t have any other options

 

[buckeyemania11]

They should absolutely keep trusting the coaches.

 

[jwinslow]

We'll take Dax Hill if they want to keep Metellusing.
