Doesn't matter. Michigan is a basketball school. At least that's what friends that are Michigan friends tell me. And, yes, I have friends who are fans. Even clients.

The folks on MgoBlig are now routinely trashing their own 3 star recruits on their "welcome" threadsquite a tumble for a historical blue blood when a fan says this about a committed player:

This is a great thread, and I have only one caveat, that isn't directed to anyone in particular. I think the "no disparaging recruits" dictum should apply to all recruits, regardless of where they've committed. Put the individual disparagement where it belongs, in the college football forum, after they've enrolled, or at least signed.

Even as a whole, if we say "Michigan's recruiting stinks," does that not extend to their recruits? I don't disagree with what you're saying. But I don't think post a kid's name & ranking is disparaging.

Yeah, it's a tough call. I'm inclined to retract my comment.

That's what I was wondering about when this thread was created. It's almost impossible to do our usual observance of the schools recruiting and not point out that a lot of the kids are lower ranked.
It's just a statement of fact that is going to come across as hating on the kid, which none of us really intend to do (unless he's a mouthy traitor type).
Not sure how we pull this off to be honest

I agree with the sentiment, but if you check their board they are saying worse things about their own recruits than we are.

I began this thread because a lot of Michigan recruiting talk was beginning to pop up in the Shenanigans thread in the CFB Forum. And of course, there are no restrictions in that forum, so Michigan recruits were occasionally getting bashed.
However, it is not bashing merely to mention that a recruit is ranked #494 (or whatever). Let's face it - Ohio State has some lower ranked recruits as well. Even in our epic Class of 2021, we have the #349, #393, and #404 ranked recruits ... each of whom, by the way, would be in the upper half of Michigan's class. Just stating the facts....
Often times, it's not what you say, but how you say it. Stick to the facts, keep it classy, and we're all good.

Can't put it much better than LJB. Ttun recruiting tends to make fun of itself, but I haven't seen anything in this specific thread from our recruitniks that I felt crossed the line (unless something has been deleted that I missed). As LJB said, just try to keep it factual and personally I don't see making fun of ttun by itself an attack on its recruits, unless you are specifically aiming it at the recruit. And I think a thread for the recruiting efforts of our rival is warranted and interesting to follow.
Ok, back to it. The talent gap is seriously running away from Harbaugh...imo, even if he starts getting better results on the field, years of recruiting at this level is going to be insurmountable for him during his tenure.
