2014 Recruiting Thread (Updated 03.20.2013)

    I know the bad recruiting news is getting old at this point, but some Mikale Wilbon quotes from a site that shall remain nameless:

    "To be honest I think Ohio State will be the first to offer between the two. I talked to Coach Vrabel a lot and the running back coach likes me. At Michigan it feels like no one is interested. "

    "I use to love Michigan when I was younger. I always wanted to go there and play Michigan ball, but after that visit it kind of made me not like them as much. They are really showing my teammate Jamarco Jones more love. We visited together and one coach thought I was his cousin and not a recruit. I came to visit and an offer didn't come so I felt like I'm not good enough or something. I feel like the visit didn't go very well."

    One would think Michigan was stocked with RB. I just don't understand.

    From reading the updates on Tremendous and M Block, it was clear that Wilbon really wanted the Michigan offer.

    But to read that a coach/assistant didn't know who Wilbon is or what he looks like is very disappointing. Shades of Brian Cushing's unofficial visit to Ann Arbor. (I've always wondered if that was true.)

    ETA: I'm sure Michmania will be upset.

    What happened on Roid Rages' unofficial to AA?

    That's not good news, any idea if this would affect Jamarco as well? Would hate to lose both.

    The story goes that he came to Ann Arbor on an unofficial visit with his highlight tape in hand hoping for a Michigan offer. Supposedly, he grew up a Michigan fan and dreamed of wearing the Maize and Blue.

    When he showed up, our coaches had no idea who he was and hence weren't prepared to host him and therefore didn't offer.

    That didn't sit well with Cushing who felt disrespected because he was a known commodity.

    I'm sure it will and if true completely unacceptable on the coaches part.

  • Isn't he a smaller kid? Coaches may very well not be interested

    He's shorter, but that doesn't mean much. See: Mike Hart.

  • He said he wants the coaches to show him the love they've shown Jamarco. He's still interested and he said he's not sure if it was a coach or not who didn't recognize him. Given M has been relatively slow with their regional offers at most positions, I don't think hope is all lost. They have some ground to make up though.

    That's good to hear then

    What's the difference between jam and jelly?

    I know where your going....its better to substitute marmalade for jelly, because more people percieve an actual difference between the two, and its somewhat esoteric....it works way better. By the way, this is one of my go to jokes

    Don't read into this (or the title) too much.

    They would like to be a package deal but won't let that decide the school. I think we're in solid shape, hopefully Scott hates ND.

  • McDowell sure looks the part in the state title game.... Chased a RB down from behind with no angle... Quite impressive... Paul Ingram a SO LB for Loyola is quite good as well... Better hope Drake Harris never suits up for Sparty... He has quite a bit of talent.

    Harris is a top 5 WR in the country.... no doubt. He was unbelievable yet again.

    Cole and McDowell are leaning towards ND IMO. Words and actions are speaking loudly right now. It is a long way to go, but ND and OSU will be tough to beat on recruits.
