Elite 11 Finals after Day 1
The Elite 11 finals are going on right now, and Greg Biggins from 247 Sports put out a list of his top performers (LINK). If you don't want to click the link, Michigan commit Cade McNamara didn't make his top 11 but was one of two "Honorable Mention" players. MSU commit Dwan Mathis (from Oak Park/Belleville) is #10.
Dwan Mathis might play well enough to end up in Columbus
I read that in Charlie Sheen voice
I know you are sort of joking, but this is the loser mentality that losing leads to. We should be 'neversatisfied' with less than winnning. Because the alternative is losing, and ultimatley being losers.
.....which is:
Losing football games in college is not the way to determine an ultimate winner or loser, especially if those said players go on to be doctors and successful businessmen and productive members of society and shit.
I'm sure there are plenty of College Football (mythical) National Champions who are rotting in prison today......you must be soooo proud of those "winners".
Of course, maybe you still have Aaron Hernandez poster on your wall, who knows?
I'm honestly shocked there is still a Hernandez fan, admire the dedication.
Of course, as Yogi said:
"2 outta 3 ain't bad".
And when one outta the three jeopardizes the other two, you know which one I boot.
that Dan Antonio outcoached Harbaugh in all three games thus far.
Theres also a better argument that he didnt.
You can easily make that argument?
You mean with labored stretches of reality?
MSU was out played, out coached, and out scored
I'm not sure about that, but certainly there was some problems offensively, but that seems mostly in large part to the o-line & QB and how that limited the play calling. But, there shouldn't be any concerns about the defense. And, I would think that HS kids could see the larger picture of recruiting success over the course of Harbaugh's tenure vs MD's and see that UM would have the long term advantage once they get over the hump of this o-line/QB issue. Maybe that's wishful thinking.
Here's to hoping a good year offensively and the change of Drevno to Warriner & the addition of Patterson coupled with a win over MSU (and some other qualitys teams like Wiscy, PSU, ND, & OSU) can change some of that perception. There is still plenty of time to shift the perception with a good season for the 2019 class of guys we are both after.
Well, Trent Dilfer ranks himself in there, which bumps everyone else down a notch.
But for real, I think there are 24 quarterbacks invited to the competition.
Rattler at #1 isn't a surprise, as he's the #1 pro style QB in the class. But for that, his offer sheet isn't as impressive as you'd suppose the #1 QB's would be.

Isn't Cade McNamara's offer sheet just as good, maybe a tad better?

I said it wasn't loaded?
Cade MacNamara is the #10 pro stle QB, and the #258 player.
Spencer Rattler is the #1 pro style QB, and the #42 player.
Shouldn't there be a noticeable differene in their offer sheet?
Here's the offer sheet for Davis Mills, 2017 #1 QB recruit. Do you see a difference between his offer sheet and Spencer Rattlers offer sheet?

Great players are still offered and pursued after they committ. Teams are still pursuing Cade McNamara.
even remotely correlate with the rate of success of these QBs in college?

Here's a list of Elite 11 participants and MVPs. Winning MVP at Elite 11 isn't a good indicator of college success
Since the Elite 11 started in 1999, I looked at all the MVPs and from a quick rundown, I'd say less than 50% of MVPs have what I would consider a solid college career. Being MVP doesn't really mean a whole lot
........or the rival's guy from the state of Mi. that will never play for UofM.
I predict a close race.
