Interesting read...

Here's a fun one from '09:

Edwin Baker
College: Michigan State
Best recruiting experience: The (official) visit was great. Hanging out with Javon Ringer was the best. He was my host.
Why not U-M? They're arrogant.

Report suggests Jake Fisher will pick Oregon over U-M

Why is it just over U-M? Why isn't it over MSU and Florida?

I honestly think MSU or Florida were never "real" choices to be honest...Maybe im wrong..who knows.

Based on what?

Oregon will have taken two pretty decent recruits out of Michigan, two years in a row now.

Congrats to Fisher, but I am surprised he would want to go there, considering this:

His signature would finalize the best offensive line class perhaps in the history of the program (Andre Yruretagoyena, Tyler Johnstone, James Euscher and Jake Fisher)."

Figuring there is going to be a lot of competition to play. But then again, players get ragged on for taking the easy path, and choosing schools that are easiest for playing time. Obviously Fisher isn't afraid of the competition.

[Josh2Blue]

Oregon has 4 OT commitments from this year and 4 OL from last year.

He'd be on the two-deep at Michigan as a RS Freshman.

Ughhh.

Heap praise on Hoke for this class. He deserves it, but still disappointing that you had Michigan FANS in Frost, Zettel and now maybe Fisher all end up somewhere else.

I am willing to endure this class, which could be turn out good, rather than watch what RR was bringing.

Endure? This class is a very solid class. They are #27 right now on Rivals, and that ranking could even get better.

[Marklar]

Its not like LT showed the Michigan coaches any respect either. And its not like RR was only in Florida. Only time he ever went down there was for an in home visit. Its just the "perception" that the coaches in Michigan used against him.

Sorta like that dumb ass tight end a couple years ago who complained that Michigan didn't offer more kids in the state of Michigan...then his ass went and signed with Ohio State over both Michigan schools.
