I don't see how we have any chance at Green. He seems all OSU or Clemson. If we did somehow land him though, he would be the big play threat our offense needs.

Wilkins would be a nice addition for depth and competition.

Well, those arguments are also true. In college football, gamebreaking athletes can make all the difference, and it's really hard to raise the glass football without them. Can you think of a recent national champion that didn't feature at least one gamebreaking skill guy on offense?

I know the coaches are not content with merely solid talent and are looking to bring in guys with real elite potential, as evidenced by how hard they went after Isaac and are still going after guys like Green, Treadwell, Bailey, Daniels, LaRue, etc. I'm not concerned about the coaches' mindset in terms of who they're targeting, I think they're totally on the right page in going after elite guys who could be the basis of a national title team. However, it should be concerning when we fail to land those guys. Especially when the athlete in question is Ty Isaac, who's been one of our top targets since forever, who's from the Midwest, who took a ton of visits to us, etc. It's totally legit to be concerned about that.

Hoke is into his second year at the helm. All these HS kids, before last year, all they know is we lost to OSU every year and MSU is 4-0 against us. They did not know Michigan, the same way when their parents knew Michigan. Why do you think Oregon is so popular now?

I may add that Hoke's goal is NOT to win the NC, but the B1G and all that comes with it. He will build this team to win teh B1G with hardnosed players that love Michigan. He'll take his chances with that team in the National picture after they've secured the B1G

Green would be fantastic. Keeping my fingers crossed.

lol i have seen this movie before. Poor kid will be in some mac school in a few years after getting beat out by another 5 star RB that SC brings in and being home sick. Never gets old. Michigan has enough RBs time to work on the D line.

Yeah but how many have we missed on compared to how many we have landed.

Wormley
Kalis
Magnuson

Morris

All grade out at 95 or above on 247 which is Isaacs grade. Then you can add in a handful or more that grade out just below 95 that we have landed in the last 2 classes. Hoke is hitting on a lot of his targets.

I kind of think that a couple of us are ready to prematurely jump off a cliff because of the loss of Ty, but I agree with this post by Mercury. We already know the defense will get better and better, but it would make the team that much more dangerous if the opposing defenses were to fear our offense on every snap .. because of the threat that any given snap could be a home run.

We'll be fine. Good luck to Ty. The homer in me thinks he made a bad choice .. but at the end of the day .. it was HIS choice. Here's to us seeing him in the Rose Bowl.

Sorry.

In recruiting that is just way to negative for me. Every school is going to miss on a good number of targets every single year. As long as you are hitting on a good percentage of those top targets then you are doing well. I prefer looking at the ones we land instead of harping on the ones we miss out on.

idk why everyone is so high on ty he isn't as good as people think. He plays against weak talent that make him look good. He is way to tall to be a back in college Trust me Sc will make him into a WR beside he wont be able to beat out the RBs they will be bringing in. He has bust written all over him. The kid will end up at some Mac school back in the midwest book it.
