If Harbaugh came out and said in a class of 23 we were taking 8 OTs I would stand and applaud. Make it a numbers game.
Its obviously not going to happen, but our current OT recruiting is this staffs only failure, in my opinion.
I think we have a few offensive positions with talent. That talent just isn't seasoned enough to produce yet.
QB - likely contentious, but 2 top 100 kids gaining experience and waiting their turn. Admittedly, I hope Peters isn't waiting long.
WR- we just brought in the best WR in our history. Even Crawford, for his faults, is still young and highly touted.
TE- you mentioned them above.
Centre- Ruiz is one of the best C prospects in recent memory.
I would have high hopes for next year if it wasn't for our guards and tackles. It is my only complaint about the team, and likely our undoing.
But secondly, how did everyone feel about Ulizio?
Based on this video i thought he was ok, which is a pleasent suprise, as I was expecting a well lubricated screen door at RT.
Sorry to hyjack, but I believe as an mgolurker I haven't accumulated the points to start my own thread.
I was at the gym on saturday and they randomly had a Gryphons game on.... I want to say they were playing either Western or Mac and holding their own. If I recall correctly thats pretty good, since both have strong programs (again, I could be completely wrong... not a big CIS guy)
We're in Cambridge, Ontario and we're driving over to Fort Erie to have dinner at a haunted restaurant and take a ghost tour. I'm a nerd for such things.
I've also somehow convinced her this is her idea, which makes things even better.
Prior to this I assume I'll be doing household chores.
Any Canadians out there know anything else to do in Fort Erie (or Americans I suppose as well)?
If you told anyone we'd be here now (2/3 full class in May with all the 4 stars) we'd all take it.
Now we need to start pulling some RB's with that kind of profile (4 star, highly touted) and we'll be all set (and the succesfulQuon well, but he is fairly likely at this point).
But it seem's you beat me to it... Now I must kill you.... Unless that hurts the Kate Upton Party's image, in which case I'll make it look like an accident.
Helmholdt said he wasn't due for 2 more weeks... Consider my Rivals subscription cancelled.
<br>
<br>Honesty, beautiful wife and baby... All the best and God Bless!
I wish we could go back in time and hear the intelligent things that came out of your yap when you were 18. I'm sure you blessed the world with some real gems.
I don’t think we can forget that these are still kids who are excited because they just made a huge decision, and possibly the first grown up decision of their lives.
This kid is pumped to go to Rutgers, as he should be. Let him have his fun, and wish him the best.
Rolls need to be slowed a bit.
<br>
<br>He's a kid who is about to sign an loi, he's all jacked up on teenager hormones.
<br>
<br>Let him be excited. He never said Michigan sucks, he said Rutgers would win.
<br>
<br>Didn't Kalis say something similar?
The first heartbreaking moment of my Michigan life was A-Train's fumble... I saw that game on espn classic or btn a while ago and got all pissy again... Amazing how butthurt like that doesn't go away.
He will be in Ann Arbor is spirit... but Physically playing NCAA 12 on PS3 with his friends...
Now what we need to know is which team is he playing as? I'd say if he plays as Michigan, he's a lock to go blue... if he plays as another team, he's trying to build up his team to get an offer to be Michigans coach, in which case he also goes blue... If he plays Call of Duty, I don't know where he'll go.
Whatever happens, lets hope this kid attends a top notch school where he'll get a good education, play good football and graduate with a degree that will help him in the future... that is to say I hope he doesn't go to ohio or sparty. If that school happens to be Michigan, that would also be great.
He got beat like a drum all week at his All American game. Obviously I wasn't there to see it, but that's the rumor.
<br>
<br>Apparently his body lends him to the safety position more than the CB position, and we want a corner.
<br>
<br>Also, apparently the raging tire fire that is PSU might be scaring Reeves into our welcoming arms.
<br>
<br>So bad week + tire fire = no more Yuri.
<br>
<br>Hope it all works out for the kid though.
2 scholly TE's is playing with fire... Especially when considering 1 hasn't been a game changer (Moore) and the other is a position change (Miller).
<br>
<br>Bringing 1 in is almost a must. Borges loves 2 TE sets and won't be able to run them without an influx of talented players.
<br>
<br>I bet if gorgeous Borges had his way, we'd bring in 2 or 3 this year.

<br>Leaving the office at 8 will drop you iq to the single digits, which I just proved.
<br>
<br>Keep calm and move along. Nothin to see here.
Say what you will about his skill set, but he is our best qb without a doubt, and from what I saw, it's by a significant margin.
<br>
<br>I'm all about helping a kid get to the league, but not at the expense of the team... And I think Denard would agree.
<br>
<br>Put him behind centre and hunt. If he lines up anywhere else, it won't be often. 3-4 times in a game occasionally to keep defenses honest.
<br>
<br>He can go to the combine and light up the stop watches and help his draft stock that way.
But I love this team. The Seniors went through something no other senior class at Michigan has gone through in 40 years, if ever. And we've got respectable and respectful kids, that are 100% blue.
I've been reading this blog for a couple years, but I only recently decided to post. The thing I hate most when reading is the posting police who have nothing better to do than correct every grammar, spelling or titling error.
Great player who had to deal with loads of BS he didn't sign up for.
<br>
<br>Glad his play is being recognized, but we should commend his leadership in holding this team together even more.
<br>
<br>Thanks DM!

That seems entirely unrealistic, IMHO.
I'd be less surprised if we won 10 games than if we won 3.
If we win 3 games it's possibly worse than RR's first year.
That said, i think your 9 win prediction with 1 against a rival is spot on. Thats what I've been predicting too.
We'll have Devin calling audibles by screaming "Buffalo Wild Wings"

They made the MGOBEWBZ policy and Kate is not welcomed as often as we'd all like.
When we get a hello post, we need to take advantage!
And still no Kate Upton?
Come on MGOBLOG, This is Michigan FERGODSAKES!!!
They told me there were still hero's out there.... I guess they were wrong...
Every time I watch he struggles, and every time I miss a game, I hear he was a beast.
For any struggles me may have in the future, i take 100% blame.
But it seem's you beat me to it... Now I must kill you.... Unless that hurts the Kate Upton Party's image, in which case I'll make it look like an accident.
But my point total doesn't allow for it....
If I could, I would foresake sports and throw my support behind Kate Upton and Her MGOBEWBS....
But I want to haz a vote!!!
Beating cancer and welcoming a new addition... Thats a hell of a year.
Stay strong and keep moving. My prayers are with you and your family.
I Want to haz moar recruits!
My Favorite part was when he told the ohio Players "they'll be poop in the diapers, and it won't be mine!" I heard bucknuts went banana's.
In all honesty, thats a good lookin kid... Congrats and God Bless!

In other news, water is wet and MSU is full of criminals.
From what I've seen and heard of the sports coverage on the worldwide leader, I'm surprised he isn't #1.
Kidding, thanks for the info!
Or I'd +1 you...
At least there was no serious bitching... Bravo for taking it all in stride.
May Brian have mercy on your MGOPOINTS....
But, you are correct, Shane is the man...
And vernors can be so hard to find here... And I've literally never seen diet vernors is a 100% no go.

I mean, his legend would be completely solidified if he went to South Bend right?
Winning 3 titles isn't enough... he needs to do it while handcuffed...
Notre Dame Fans are stoopid.
Right after you dumped her anyway.

<br>As a buddy once said to me as a chunky ex walked by... Good fold.

<br>My incompetence made me sad.

Can't remember another team I liked this much.

I'd love to know whose letter that is.
Quality post, as always.
<br>
<br>And the Meyer hate is strong here too. Hopefully the good guys can talk some sense into Dunn.
I bet MM was loved everywhere else... He left some pretty nice talent in the draft for the other 31 teams to select.
Great player who had to deal with loads of BS he didn't sign up for.
<br>
<br>Glad his play is being recognized, but we should commend his leadership in holding this team together even more.

Kind of classless.
