Excited how? We're just making fun of the idiot fanbase that acted like they just grabbed German JJ Watt.

We just remember the scUM boards creaming themselves over "the number one recruit in Germany" This on the heels of hyping Michael Bennett as, and I quote, "a thicc Curtis Samuel."
You don't fit into what I'm about to say, but... they have a type. These sort of player evals fall right into that "type."

They don't learn either. They equally hyped up the "EDGE" prospect from France they got this year, that seemingly nobody had even heard of until scUM offered him out of nowhere (only other offers ended up being Buffalo, Vanderbilt, East Carolina and Uconn) #1 PLAYER IN FRANCE!!!

It's kinda like them just now acting like they learned their players talked trash about TCU after they lost.
Despite them being huge fans of it during the revenge tour, any time against MSU and Ohio State especially when they win they revel in it.
It's who you are guys. You guys talk trash leading into the game win lose or draw have as long as I can remember it

These type of guys give credence to the joke that Harbaugh just throws darts at a map and says "get that kid from there" because he doesn't really like actually recruiting that much.
Frenchie and Germany are last minute flyers and class fillers if anything at all for other "upper level" programs, not seemingly priority guys who get committable offers well before signing day. They are priority guys for Harbaugh and scUM.

Oh for sure; and quite frankly I wouldn't care normally. But talking as much sh*t was we talked and then unveiling a game plan for TCU that can only be explained by a total lack of respect, or peeing down your leg in fear, is pretty unacceptable to me. One of the problems with this program for a long time is that it indoctrinates the idea that just by being a Michigan player, you've arrived - and even when coaches try to fight that, it doesn't seem to change.
It's all cool, I didn't entirely realize the folks above were talking about forum slappies; I hate those guys too, or I wouldn't be here. The truth is that this recruiting class was a near disaster, and that's why we're taking a flyer on some guy from France. Although the 2018 class turned out better for us than the numbers said it would, it was also a terrible class on paper so we took a flyer on a 6'6" German guy. These are not important recruits for us at all, but hey, it's a meritocracy, if the guy blows up, he'll get his shot at Michigan.
My only pushback would be "everyone thinks their developmental recruits are going to hit, that's just being a college football fan." You guys might be unfamiliar because you don't have to take developmental recruits, but you'll see this same sh*t on Sparty forums too. If you cant win battles for four and five star recruits, you're more or less stuck going full Dantonio and grabbing a bunch of guys you think MIGHT work out in your system, two or even three years down the line. Lots and lots of those guys are going to bust, or develop into totally mediocre players; but you only need to be right on a few of them each class to outperform your recruiting rankings.
But I mean I get it, teasing Michigan fans for pretending our recruiting classes are "competing with Ohio State" instead of "Sparty-esque" is fair game; the slappies are only doing it to themselves at this point. Right now, our program really does feel like the Dantonio Spartans; we can punch above our weight and get into the conversation, but we're turning back into a pumpkin once we get to the dance. Very few Michigan fans seem to grasp this is where we are at the moment, however.
I just misunderstood why you guys were laughing at us right now, because that dude has clearly been a warm body for three years now and we're not gonna miss him at all.

Ill give that Welschof was more of a actual flier considering he didn't commit until December 20th. The French guy this year committed in JULY though, that's not a flier. That's a guy Michigan coaches "really wanted" in the class. Even though the rest of the country basically had never even heard of him. The message board slappies met him with the same hype as they had for the German guy back then. The Michigan forum slappies seem to get a bigger stiffy for clearly developmental guys than any other fan base of other "upper level" schools.

This. We've been saying it around here for years. No need to work. Play college ball for a few years and go to the League.
Ohio State posts video of grueling workouts. Scum posts warm up rep dance videos

He's a 3.6, and that might even be composite. The German guy was a 3.5. They are the same guy.
I'm not sure you've looked at how trash our class this year actually was, but I assure you offering this kid in July didn't change a single thing about how we recruited the rest of the class or what we offered the kid from France to come here.
Edit: like are you aware that our QB for this class is... Ronnie Bell's brother? And that his major qualifications appear to be, yes, being Ronnie Bell's brother? He's probably a mid-ass WR, but in this class, he's our QB. Recruiting went HELLA bad for Michigan this year and the rankings don't do it justice - we made up on volume, the prospects are for the most part, meh as hell.
