DFBIA going out if the way to try to dunk on other schools over the smallest of recruiting “wins” is a nice window on the deeply engrained arrogance that cripples their program regardless of the coaches or players involved.

Reminder that this is the #551 prospect with offers from basically no other notable team outside of Auburn. When a Florida player doesn’t have a single offer from the big 3 Florida schools it’s clearly a highly coveted player /s.

Dunk away, DFBIA.

They're dunking on an 8' rim - and they're not doing it in any particularly impressive fashion.

Soooooooo is every 3 star they get a "3.5" star? :lol:

If there was such a thing i'm not sure i'd call the #714, #685 & #586 rated players that.

Also gotta love that "high floor QB" is the new standard. They've come a long way from claims that the QB whisperer was going to be pumping studs out left and right. "just be average and not terrible and you're ok"

There’s a lot of absolute nonsense in that article and the comments but this line of thinking from the comments is peak DFBIA:

Seth also did a great job giving voice to my vague intuition that Michigan has done a lot of work for the benefit of schools on higher rungs of the recruiting ladder. The frequency with which Michigan has found and cultivated prospects that turn into blue chips and get poached by OSU, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, or Clemson suggested that those schools have effectively outsourced some of their scouting. Michigan prospects in the film mines only to have college football's metaphorical overseers take the best of its haul.

and

If one believes that recruiting is the lifeblood of college football and championships are won on signing day, I'm not sure what the fire Harbaugh crowd is hoping for.

Michigan hasn't been able to really compete in the current format regardless of how hard their head coach works. Harbaugh (and his staff) have been outworking Ohio State, Clemson, and Alabama, but simply can't offer guaranteed playoff spots or $100k in cash for the cream of the crop 'Jimmys and Joes'. Matt Campbell or any other coach at Michigan can't either.

That’s next level delusional.

Haha oh yes everyone else outsources their scouting. Michigan coaches are personally going town to town across the country to pluck all the diamonds.

I’m sure The university won’t pay for it either so I like to imagine the coaches having to take the greyhound bus from area to area. “Little billy we gotta go pick up coach Harbaugh from the bus depot he wants to give you a look”

I already debunked this shit earlier. In the two examples I’ve seen them point to of doing a superior job offering talented players first (Olave and Fitzpatrick), Ohio State was the team that offered first.

I’d love to look into the timeline of any other player they think this has happened with.

Meanwhile, their classes are absolutely littered with lower end players that don’t even sniff an offer from top schools.

Stupid and delusional is no way to go through life.
