Yes I do.

You're a ****ty UM fan. And a big part of the reason RR failed here.

Like I said last night ...

I have been encouraged with the signings this year so far.

The big need for this class remains to be a star WR and DB if you ask me. Perhaps they think Funchess or Thompson can be that, I know that Thompson is very highly thought of by this staff. The need for defensive backs continues, though, and that seems to be the one position I just don't see them having many options right now.

Its good to think about, but a potential class of:

OT Ben Braden
OG Caleb Stacey
LB Royce Jenkins-Stone
LB Kaleb Ringer
TE/OT AJ Williams
TE/WR Devin Funchess

TE/WR Ron Thompson
OT Jordan Diamond
DT Sheldon Day
DT/DE Matthew Godin
DE/OLB Mario Ojemudia
LB James Ross
DE/DT Chris Wormley
LB Joe Bolden

To me... that is a class of 14 that is about 10 guys with the possibility of four stars with probably another 6-7 guys to still add. And it is very realistic, too. Add a quarterback, a receiver, 3-4 corners/safeties, 2 more OL -- there's a class of 21 that seems like a possibility

Tellin you right now... Don't count out Richardson.

Josh r u conceding O'Brien to UT?

If he was picking today, O'Brien would go to Tennessee. As Josh has said in the past, the longer O'Brien waits, the better chance of him going to Michigan.

[Josh2Blue]

I was just listing people I thought have a >50% chance of ending up at Michigan in my eyes. As of right now I don't think thats the case with O'Brien so I excluded him.

I've heard him say that, but what is the reasoning (just curious)?

[digitalv]

is Elida (OH) QB Reggie McAdams getting recruited by the new staff? I know RichRod was interested while he still was in A2, but is Hoke and staff interested in him too? I guess he's like a Gardner clone (from what my buddy down in Elida says), so he'd be able to fit into any offense

[Josh2Blue]

Reggie McAdams might be a better basketball player than football player. I don't think Michigan is recruiting him.

And on O'Brien the reasoning is that Tennessee's biggest lead for him was probably a couple months ago when Michigan fired RR and had no coach. Ever since then I think their lead has been narrowing. Adding Godin potentially being a Wolverine and I think you've got even more momentum towards Michigan in that recruitment.
