You know you're in a good position in recruiting when you can turn down recruits of O'Daniel's caliber.

And maybe an unknown WR, which would make KoobJoe right after all! 8^D

That's exactly what i'm thinking too... McCray seemed pretty sure they were taking 2 LB's, and he obviously felt like he was one of those 2. I have been wondering if they're turning away the other LB's simply for Levenberry. I don't see why they would tell McCray that and then sign 2 more LB's on top of him.

Simply isn't that bad. He's kind of like Pitbull. You would never tell your friends you like him, and you know he thinks he is way cooler than he really is, but sometimes you just find your head nodding when he says something no matter how much you don't want to do it...

or just plain S.T.U.P.I.D, yeah I'll go with that one.

Yeah i agree about not turning anyone away, but we should steadily be recruiting these guys. Lets say they do give a verbal, it's still not 100% until they sign on the dotted line, we shouldn't be burning these bridges with the other elite LB's that hold Michigan in high regards just in case someone does not want to come to Michigan. God forbid that happens. We should always stay a head of the game and be prepared for the worst.

As for a pipeline to good counsel...its been stated that they send guys all over,so that shouldn't change

Isn't that what happened with Reeves last year? We burned the bridge and tried to get back in at the last minute.

Why did you retards even go to nc game then? Should of just quit the year after winning the big ten. Oh wait you did by getting your sgit pushed in twice. The world would be a better place if ohio fell off the map and every buckeye had at least a speck of intelligence

From the look O'Daniel's tweets, Reeves didn't take it as personally as he did.

Also, I think that Good Counsel and O'Daniel might even respect Michigan for it in the long run. Sucks to be rejected, but it will help O'Daniel that he is not being strung along as a backup plan without knowing it. Now he knows where he stands and can look towards his other options.

If I were Good Counsel, my opinion of Hoke goes up by this. Other coaches may have strung him along because it's good to have a backup plan.

The coaches are professionals, so I agree with where you were going with your post. They aren't going to call up O'Daniel and say, "yo, hope you didn't book that ticket yet because we don't want you coming to campus." They likely told him they are pretty sure the spots will be full before he decides, so if he wants to still come that would be great, but if he wants to save his money they understand.
