Regarding Shea Patterson not even signing as an undrafted free agent, bump:

Also, this gem that might be better suited for the ttun recruiting thread:
Those Massachusetts 2-stars will be committed to the team, the team, the team and won’t complain when we don’t hold any highly rated player we manage to convince to come here (probably based largely on a sense of entitlement and undeserved arrogance) to the same standards.
The beauty of this self reinforcing locker room poison is a wonderful thing to behold - they can’t get talent unless they have attitude problems, they can’t correct the attitude problems because that was the appeal of coming to Michigan in the first place, they can’t get talented kids without attitude problems because they don’t put them in the league and don’t win games, they can’t win big games because they “corrected” this issue by recruiting 2-stars from Massachusetts, the 2-stars and the talent resent each other because they are treated differently by the coaches, they can’t recruit because their locker room atmosphere is trash... and their coaches suck, can’t recruit, and can’t develop talent... and they don’t win big games or develop players for the league...
The layers of suck are remarkably complex. And it shows in the 1-12 record against top 10 teams. And things are only getting worse as their recruiting falls off a cliff and this cycle spirals ever deeper.
