Steve Lorenz: Mailbag questions
Hey guys,
After talking to Ace and Brian for the last few weeks about it, we agreed on me coming on to do a weekly mailbag on Michigan recruiting.
I believe the plan will be to run it on Tuesdays. I am assuming the MGoAudience may have some different style recruiting questions they want to know about and I think it will be fun to cover some different angles on the topic.
My plan is to take five-ish questions each week with some fleshed out answers for you guys to chew on. Anything recruiting related is really open game IMO, so have at it and I'll have something ready for Tuesday.
- Steve

We're officially back!

Now that the rest of CFB has seen what Harbaugh can do with a simple recruiting calendar event such as National Signing Day, many of the other majors will now be rushing to do their own productions. How does the program plan to follow up on last year's successful event?

It's a fair question - recruiting oriented and involves significant exposure (and is pertinent to all of our incoming recruits, not just one or two guys). This is UM setting (another) trend in CFB which will be picked up by others for certain.

Fair question, but maybe let's hold that one for after bowl season...
But Michael Jordan.

Got something better or are you just being an ass?

Has Harbaugh historically recruited kickers and punters, and if so who is he looking at? We know about last year's sleepover, so he does have some precedence.
September 8th, 2016 at 4:42 PM ^
What were the incentives (and from whom) that Jim Hackett mentioned Gary receiving in his recruitment?
September 8th, 2016 at 5:00 PM ^
Cutting straight through to the good stuff.
September 8th, 2016 at 6:05 PM ^
To be precise, Gary was OFFERED incentives. I seriously doubt he ever actually RECEIVED any alleged incentives.

Well, you know, it's easier to be good if you're there with your mom... ;)

Without getting into any names....what is the most scandelous recurting story you can't really repeat....but maybe could give some vague details about (women, cash, gifts, etc).

Or you could email it to the Ole Miss compliance department.

Stop slandering young men

WTF with all the negs?
That was also part of Freeze's quote!!!
Shake's fist.
September 9th, 2016 at 1:49 PM ^
You forgot the /s.
September 8th, 2016 at 5:54 PM ^
They have a compliance department?!
September 8th, 2016 at 8:02 PM ^
Better would be his office space in the basement...

I had a kid at work the other day give me the most sincere compliment on our stapler. It's your basic blue stapler. This may be his future.
September 8th, 2016 at 4:57 PM ^
about Shea Patterson?

Actually, ISIS/Al Qaeda cells supposedly used PS4 and the PSN to coordinate the Bataclan/Paris attacks.
Supposedly, you can use VOIP or communicate in-game (like CoD), with almost complete anonymity.

I once heard that Artavis Scott (remember when he was a strong Michigan lean and then suddenly committed to Clemson?) once received a few pairs of Jordans, a gold necklace, and some diamond earrings (if I remember right) on his visit to Clemson, and that's what prompted him to commit.

How are jersey sales in Ohio?

Is Biff Poggi doing recruit analyses for us ? Or maybe opponent analyses? What is he doing?
September 8th, 2016 at 4:59 PM ^
in the press conferences? I swear whoever that is, is fishing for some sort of NCAA violation. He even asks the players if he is giving them any hands on Coaching.
September 8th, 2016 at 5:15 PM ^
Or he's trying to do a support staff puff piece and can't get the damn quote he wants.
In a vacuum, I'd lean towards what you posted as the motivation. Reading this lazy-ass press gaggle week in and week out, investigative reporting seems unlikely.
September 8th, 2016 at 6:58 PM ^
I'd lean towards fishing for something shady. There's really no reason to go through that much effort for a puff piece. And no disrespect to Biff, but who really cares? And if no one really cares, why try and go around the proper channels and spend weeks/months on fishing for quotes about him? You don't need that many quotes for a puff piece.
September 8th, 2016 at 7:23 PM ^
I doubt that. Whoever it is would have to have a great burning interest in support staff to keep doggedly pursuing this week after week, both with coaches and players. I had the same thought about fishing for a violation, especially given the way Harbaugh has shut him down.

The only problem that I see is the reporter, whoever it is...

It has been asked since summer, not just the past two weeks.
