Mike McCray

  • Mich&RedWingFan said...

    Just remember, Michigan's recruiting success last year was a direct result of the turmoil osu had and Urban's track record of flipping players had nothing to do with a program in turmoil..... Logic no one can deny.

    Sure part of it was. It hasn't slowed down in 2013 so I think their turmoil had little to do with it. There's no denying he can flip players, but most of those were recruits wanted to go to Ohio but didn't go because of Tresselgate, or PSU players jumping ship at the end. When McCray comes out with about 5 tweets saying Go Blue, I'm not worried.

    A few OSU fans have posted on tBB that McCray will flip.

    So you're going to classify a fan base by the statements of the few?confused

    rumor I think his post was sarcastic in nature.

    Well i don't read bucknuts regularly and since said posters took the time to come to a national board or a Michigan board to post that McCray will flip, what would you like me to do?

    That's fair Willy. The information you had available to you led you to that conclusion.

  • Sarcasm doesn't travel well through the internet or at least I am bad at recognizing it.

    Yes, it's Kalis' fathers fault! Or is it really?

    Kalis' father looking out for the best interest of his son is a "dumbass" move? The Kalis family had concerns about what was happening in ohio because of the tressel-tattoo -ncaa investigations. Perhaps, if ohio and tressel did not commit wrongdoings and violations, then maybe Kalis' father would not have been a "dumbass" to make sure his son gets a better opportunity in Michigan......think a little, it's not difficult at all.

    There still committing wrong doings, I don't think we have anything to worry about. loco

    We have had 7 4/5 star OL recruits over the last year. Yeah, I'm not worried about Ohio's D-Line at all.

    How about Desmond, or Charles? Just can't get enough of these jokers.

    I do, and there are plenty more that think he'll flip.

    I love how all you guys think, we think he'll flip based off of one OSU fan. Many of our fans don't understand the offer. Many have stayed the course they've been on. The majority of us don't think he'll flip. If you read that we want him to, it's just to watch your guys reaction.

    Have you read this post the reaction and ridiculousness has clearly been poisonous.nono

  • It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I have to believe that he has been Blue too long to flip. I think if he would have gotten an Ohio offer a couple days or weeks after he committed to Michigan he might be more willing to switch. He should realize he wasn't on their radar until a couple of other recruits rebuffed them.

    So basically, the players Tressel would have offered would have committed is what you are trying to say??

    Why should he realize that? Michigan wanted him. Michigan told a couple LBs, including Anzalone, not to visit because they were full with McCray and Gedeon. Michigan obviously feels he fits into what they want to do and that he will have a great chance at being a very good player for Michigan. By not offering McCray until other recruits rebuffed them, Ohio obviously doesn't have those same feelings for McCray, at least not to the degree that Michigan does.

    Ohio wanted Anzalone and not McCray. UofM wanted McCray. Haha!

    Im not interested at all how it plays out. First off, the majority of the Ohio fan base thought he wasn't good enough for an offer since Urbs never extended one, and since Hoke cant recruit and he offered him and Ohio didn't, he was obviously an inferior prospect. Second, if he did flip to Ohio, the majority of the fan base didnt even want him, because Urbs only recruits SEC speed, and McCray apparently didn't have that earlier in the year, but does now? I know there are rational Ohio fans who were pissed they never offered when they should have, and all other fans completely downplayed him going to Michigan for various reasons, as stated above.

  • Can any of these trolls speak to what this says about Urban? McCray was a decorated legacy of a former captain and he was treated this way. You went with a national kid, risked shaming a legacy and now expect him to go back on his word

  • I don't usually like mentioning that other school... they don't deserve the time of day. But lately they have really done a great job of providing some comedic relief in this slow period.

    He wants the best player available to him, no matter if he's a legacy or not. He tries to get the player, who he thinks is the best prospect, no matter the location. He's trying to get the best.

    That's all I got. Maybe, this is McCray's spot on our board. Idj.

    Around that time Anzalone and Neals interest were very high. You know the rest. I know all of us tOSU fans consider Urban "God" but i dont think our HC saw that decommittment nonsense coming. If he did, im sure McCrary wouldve gotten an offer over them.

    Plain and simple, he thought those 2 and Jaylon were better. And we're only taking a couple this year. Nothing wrong with that

  • Neither one of you 2 even got close to addressing Rico's real question. Now that Urban feels the need to offer McCray, why should McCray now go back on his word to Michigan?

    Kind of obvious. He grew up a fan and his father wants him to go there. Good enough? As far as legacies go, words cant describle how happy i am that we offered, and got, Archies son. Especially with fewer scholarships
