    This^^^^ exactly why. It doesn't matter how big a kid is, or how fast he is they are in 8th grade. If a big school offers that early it goes to the kids head, he thinks he is a rock star. This leads to poor work ethic, conceited attitude, and not reaching their perceived potential. Offering kids that early is pretty risky imo.

    Nevermind he still has four years of high school classes to get past.

    Shutt attempted to commit to UM last year and you guys said no, I understand that was a little different bc he wasn't a need based on your situation at DT but it happens at most big time programs.

    If he couldn't commit, then he didn't have an offer anymore.

    Simple as that, this whole "non-commitable offer" is just hogwash. You either have one or you don't.

  • LOL Kurelic is an idiot.

    Congrats for "getting the jump" on a kid that I guarantee you Hoke knows all about. Let me know how that works out for you.

    I'll take Deveon Smith, Derrick Green, and Damien Harris

  • BTW if you're wondering why I said Hoke knows all about him. He's 2014 DE Lawrence Marshall's teammate.

    Good job ohio!

    I actually agree with the UM guys on this, you just don't know what a kid will look like in 3/4 years.What if he grows into a 6'4" 250 DE and doesn't project well to the next level because he looses to much athleticism or doesn't have the mentality to play on defense etc. With that said it doesn't really matter bc the kid couldn't commit even if he had an offer. We are just getting are foot in the door.

    8th graders are just starting to physically develop. They could turn in any number of directions after 4 years. The whole "non-commitable" is a joke. You either off/do not offer. You either have/do not a scholarship.

  • Lol hilarious that it's a 2016 guy, thanks for the info. Michigan goes into their state and takes highly ranked players, and some of the elite players in the state. But then a post is made by a "respected" Bucknut writer about coming into Michigan's backyard for a player that's just now hitting puberty. Since Michigan hasn't offered is this #scraps worthy?

    We were told many times that since we only had players that they didn't get offered from Ohio, that they were scraps cause their staff could see them a lot more and decided they weren't worth an offer, does that not apply here as well?

    Yes it is a slow news week, we probably would have never heard about it if it wasn't during the dead period.

    I am not a big fan of it but it works. Its just how things are these days. Anyone who says UM is getting scraps doesn't know what they are talking about although OSU is getting higher ranked kids and probably better talent.

    Is that why when the Buckeyes staff asked the coach what universities he was hearing from he only mentions MSU.

    I'm just saying seeings how scUM is considered among most people up North to be the college team representing the state of Michigan, that if the kid heard from scUM, it would have probably been the first school mentioned from the coach.

    Just because he hasn't heard from Michigan, doesn't mean we don't know about him.

    And knock off the "scUM"comments, this is our board and we don't tolerate disrespect like that.

    It does not work cause it does not exist.

    You have an offer or you don't.

  • 2 questions, and I mean no disrespect.
    1. Why is ok for some of your guys to come on our board and call us Ohio (although it doesn't bother me, Woody always signed things Yea Ohio!) O$U, Suckeyes and we don't BAN people for it. But I've seen you guys get upset on hear over TTUN and s*UM. I am being respectful and did not spell it out! I think it's silly myself.
    2. Someone said the bucknuts are desperate. How is that so? 24/7 has us @ 3 and you @ 5. Seems neither team is really desperate.

    I very rarely see people on this board refer to OSU as anything other than OSU or Ohio.

    Ok, then if some of our more uptight folks get there panties in a bunch over Ohio, why do it if you are "respectful" on your board. My point was more that you guys are quick to ban. Bucknuts lets a lot of that go, we get lots of UM and PSU fans that post on our board. I see a lot of O$U, Suckeyes, etc. Rarely hear of anyone being banned. Again, I am asking a question, not trying to flame, blast or disrespect anyone. I am well aware it is your board. I enjoy reading it (sometimes ;) ) and just trying to get some insight.

    Cause I don't run your board, I run this one. And we don't ban for it, we usually just edit the post or delete the post if it's bad enough.

    It's disrespectful to come until another person home and insult them regardless of who it is.

    That's a common misconception that people get banned for simply using slang terms against Michigan. Their posts usually include other trollish remarks or are just plain idiotic.

    Cause it is our board, our members pay to post among fellow Wolverine fans and they don't want to see a thousand posts with stupid insults against the school they cheer for.

    We try and strive for discussions here, and I don't care how good your point is if you can't say it without disrespecting our team.

    Like I tell every rival who complains about our rules, if you don't like them, then don't visit our board.

    Most of the ones who complain are usually not banned and are trying to get "cred", or posted nothing but flames and trolls and are actually surprised they got banned.

    Please know I am not complaining! Just asking a question, to understand the difference! Thanks for responding! Hope you guys pull it out tomorrow.
