2014 Recruiting Thread (Updated 03.20.2013)

    No offense but part of this also has to deal with the media in MI. I mean you guys have owned the state for a while now and MSU hast had a positive success story since the 60s (not counting the 88 season). most of the media in MI sees michigan as the goody 2 shoes, MSu as the evil little twin, and the CMU/EMU/WMU as the red headed stepchild that is completely forgotten. The bias in media was considerably noticeable, and now that MSU is doing good, they dont know what to do.

    While i agree that Dantonio is kinda gruffy, but by all accounts if you meet him in person, hes the nicest guy ever. But media in michigan makes a big deal out of everything dantonio does that it makes him look evil. Cmon you cant tell me theres no bias? For the first time in ages, hes standing up to you guys, and you guys dont like it. Hes not just going to roll over and be your punching bag

    it has nothing to do with him standing up to anyone. its that arrogance that is ever present. His is a super sore loser and he was in a verbal altercation with a student football player....cmon man, grow up. he is like a child that didnt get his own way all the time.

    great coach, and he deserves respect , but i just can not give him anything because of his arrogance and ego.

    you guys beat us last year, and i have shut up because i cant say a word when we lose. but i cannot listen to how state was so amazing when we couldnt recruit a single kid in this state or beat toledo under rich rod.

    Dantonio isn't underrated on this board. He just isn't respected because he acts like a douche.

    +1 thats exactly it

    agreed, him shouting over coach Heck at the recruiting thing they did for hs coaches was not him "standing up to" coach Heck, It was him actin like a d-bag because he's mad about Michigan gettin the guys he wants.

    Agreed.

    Was Dantonio "standing up for MSU" when he said "get the hell out of here" to the guy who greeted him when he got off the bus in Ann Arbor in 2010? No. He was being a POS.

    I also don't buy the "MSU's beaten us four years straight, so we can't say anything" nonsense. Dantonio being a scumbag has nothing to do with anything on the field. Don't give a damn if MSU beats UM for the next 10 years or if UM beats MSU for the next 10, Dantonio's an ass either way.

    absolutely, i can understand some of the comments he makes when reporters are constantly asking him about Michigan, gota be frustrating for the guy but that one pushed me over the edge and killed any kinda respect I had for him. It was completely out of line and they can spin it any way they want but he acted like a petulant child hearing something they didn't want to.

  • OK guys let's move the Dantonio discussion out of our 2014 recruiting board. I've set up a separate thread to go at it.

  • Sounds like the staff will prob take 4 OL in the 14 class... I would imagine the DL numbers will be the same... Have to love their approach that every year counts with quality and quantity... I would not mind seeing both line littered with "RS ...." next to their class

    yea thats always the best situation to have, the lines are the area where the rs is most critical for developing the guys.

    #Michigan offers Pennsylvania LB Brenon Thrift.......

    24/7 recognizes the offer too. I know there is a thread on it but I'm just adding it in here. Man, I wish I could be in the war room to hear the reasoning for the order in which offers go out.

    "Character, it all starts with character."- (a recent quote by one of the asst., on recruiting) Funk or Heck

    shrug Maybe, this is why C Garrett does not hold an offer yet? shrug

    I think this is exactly the reason Garrett doesn't have an offer yet. You can't deny he's talented, but Hoke's pattern so far has been to fill the class with guys with no character questions. Nobody wants to repeat Florida's mistakes.

    Who knows why he doesn't have an offer yet? There are, what 3-4 LB offers out to the 2014 class? And one already committed. Whatever they're looking for, they're being extremely selective.

  • "Maybe", Did you read that part? We dont know the reason he doesnt have an offer. I am pretty sure that he is a very talented linebacker..so, something is amiss.

    My twocents? Who cares.

    We already have 1 LB for '14 in Ferns. He is a high 4*, #1 or #2 player in Ohio, and will probably be a 5* after his senior year.

    The coaches can be very selective with the 2nd LB for '14, as Ferns gives the luxury. If the coaches do not offer Garret, I am sure reasons are valid based on their criteria. It does not mean he is not a great player. It just means the Michigan coaches are looking for something else in the 2nd LB spot.

  • while i agree its none of my business to talk about your recruiting, but I find it funny that since you guys didnt offer him, you have to slender the kids' name. let him be. Just because your team didnt offer him doesnt mean theres anything wrong with the kid. god you people are so...
