At least we have James Hudson
Oh crap
October 28th, 2018 at 9:33 PM ^
Too soon, too soon my friend.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:27 PM ^
That which we call a Maizen
By any other word would troll as well
October 28th, 2018 at 10:57 PM ^
Bluey was a diaganal enigma.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:28 PM ^
Fire everyone
October 28th, 2018 at 9:29 PM ^
Okay.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:29 PM ^
not a surprise; Benhart was expected to choose the Huskers... disappointing for sure however...
October 28th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
We already have 5 commits on the offensive line for 2019 that Warinner likes. Perhaps that dissuaded him some.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
Also, his parents wanted to be able to drive to see him play. Only in the trolliest of minds does that somehow represent a recruiting “enigma.”
Best of luck to the young man.
Going up against Michigan’s d-line, he’s going to need it.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
Playing time was also a big factor. He will probably be the starting LT without much competition once he arrives on campus.
October 28th, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
I heard he also thinks Wendy's corporate twitter is hilarious and wants to see more Scott Frost burns.
October 28th, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
Don't we all?
October 28th, 2018 at 11:59 PM ^
Do any of the 5 happen to be early enrollees? I don't think we will be playing any of them to start the year, but can't hurt to have the extra time in the weight program.
October 29th, 2018 at 8:32 AM ^
The o-line is set for next year-in a very good way...a return to greatness of old. Four starters returning...Mayfield, Stueber and Filiaga ready to go-and possibly Hayes and Honigford...with other juniors and seniors ready to back up the top tier players.
OT: Higdon's graduation will be a big loss. However, I just watched a clip from one of the sites entitled something like "The most physical back in the 2019 class". It was all Charbonnet...and it is OMG!!! I think Michigan will be fine with the returning RBs...but this Mr. Charbonnet is an elite talent. The lights are bright at Michigan and it looks as though the seas are parting. No reason for pessimism here.
Edit addition: Regarding Mr. Benhart, he would have been a nice addition. My eyes, ears and head continue to inform me that Ike is the best of the three that were in play. If Michigan can add Ike and or Keegan this 2019 o-line class can be up-graded from very good to great. With Jones and Rumler Michigan can be assured of two high performing starters...and Barnhart, Carpenter and Stewart may well become just as good.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
Thanks Maizen
October 28th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
shutter the program
October 28th, 2018 at 9:32 PM ^
So I just Googled this dude and it seems UM wasn’t a serious player for him. Why post where he committed?
October 28th, 2018 at 9:33 PM ^
1. Because it's Maizen
2. We actually probably finished 2nd or 3rd here, we were "a player"...but Nebraska was the heavy favorite and expected pick all along.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:42 PM ^
I think it's funny that you think I'm Maizen but I must say hijacking every thread that I post in with this stuff is getting old. You can speak with ClassofLSA2000 if you'd like that confirmed but I think you need to move on and find some new material instead of accusing people of being other posters every time they deliver news or an opinion that you don't like, thanks.
Also to the poster above, I posted this because he was arguably UM's top offensive tackle left on the board. Sam Webb just went down to see him in Minnesota and interviewed his entire family. He's not doing that if he didn't think UM didn't have a good shot or was a serious player. But you "just googled him" so clearly you know something I don't.
October 28th, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
The consensus was/is that Keegan is our best shot at another OT and that Benhart was probably going to Lincoln. This is a mild disappointment, not a major setback.
October 28th, 2018 at 11:22 PM ^
Keegan would have been committed by now if he was favored to come. He's looking south first.
October 29th, 2018 at 4:54 AM ^
Couldn't you say that about Clemson also? If he really wanted to go south, he would have committed already?
October 29th, 2018 at 5:43 AM ^
This is the case when there's thought to be a clear favorite. Was Michigan ever a clear favorite for him?
October 28th, 2018 at 10:31 PM ^
Hello Maizen Diagonal Bluey,
Your obsession with concern trolling is disturbing. Your responses are textbook to what has come to be expected with any account you post from. The name may change, but the content is always the same. I would recommend that you read the FAQ before returning to posting, but I know you are well aware of the FAQ so it wouldn't really help you out much. As for now, you can add this account as yet another one of your accounts that is banned from posting. Have a great night!
mgowill
October 28th, 2018 at 11:16 PM ^
Perfect. +1
October 28th, 2018 at 11:32 PM ^
He'd probably stop calling you Maizen if you stopped sounding exactly like Maizen.
October 29th, 2018 at 7:28 AM ^
You are fucking pathological and need a mental health intervention asap.
October 29th, 2018 at 11:08 AM ^
How would speaking with ClassofLSA2000 confirm anything? Does he/she know you personally?
October 29th, 2018 at 11:44 AM ^
I think it's funny that you think you're fooling anyone into believing that you're posting in earnest.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:59 PM ^
Maybe there’s a mix up between the names Barnhart and Benhart? Michigan didn’t lose Barnhart. Benhart was always going Nebraska.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:33 PM ^
I have faith that Warinner will get the kids he wants, and I trust him with turning low rated kids into NFL draft picks.
October 28th, 2018 at 11:08 PM ^
I just hope Warinner stays with us long enough to make that happen. My fear is that we're just a stopover until he can find another OC gig.
October 28th, 2018 at 11:12 PM ^
Hey...Another Minesota resident. You in the Twin Towns? I live in Northield.
October 29th, 2018 at 3:20 AM ^
He definitely needs a million dollar a year multi-year extension.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:38 PM ^
Ok. Get Keegan and/or Ike.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:51 PM ^
AND please and thanks.
October 28th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
Getting Keegan seems too good to be true. Ike likes Ed Warinner. I’ll just be neutral, and be very happy if either commits.
October 28th, 2018 at 10:16 PM ^
I think Keegan is the most realistic. Never thought we has a real chance with Benhart. I like Ike better than all of them.
October 28th, 2018 at 10:58 PM ^
Me too. I believe Ike is going to end up being the best of the 3 remaining OT targets...really like the kid from all sides. Would be great to get both Keegan and Ike.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
Maizen will reappear under his actual user name when we lose out on a big recruit we are favored for, or we lose a game we shouldn't.
In times of success, he disappears.
October 28th, 2018 at 9:41 PM ^
Maizen...Maizen...Maizen. Trying to create drama. Dude was always a Husker lock.
Hope he enjoys Frost's mommy.
October 29th, 2018 at 3:50 AM ^
All you geniuses screeching “Maizen!” are just as bad as any possible critical spin on recruiting. Yeah, we get it...Maizen tended to be critical now anyone who posts a criticism is labeled Maizen. Do us a favor, read the comments before you subject the entire board to 100 ”Maizen!”’s
October 29th, 2018 at 4:59 AM ^
It’s not that the post is critical, it’s that it’s entirely asinine.
1. We have two 4 Star tackles committed
2. Benhart was always going to Nebraska
3. We likely lead for Top 150 OT Trevor Keegan
4. OT recruiting and recruiting in general is not an “enigma”. It’s going extremely well right now.
October 29th, 2018 at 9:52 AM ^
1. We have one. Trente Jones. We've currently got one 4* (Jones) and two 3* (Barnhart, Stewart)... and both those 3* (along with Filiaga) look to be guards at the next level.
4. OT recruiting is not going "extremely well". Alabama with a 5* and two 4* actual tackle recruits is doing extremely well... we're just doing ok, and still taking a few too many inside guys and not enough tackles.
October 29th, 2018 at 10:24 AM ^
Have you seen what Warriner has done with Runyan Jr over the course of the season? I'm not worried about the perceived imbalance of interior lineman to tackles in the recruiting class. I have much confidence in Warriner to get the guys he wants and coach them up in the right positions on the line.
October 29th, 2018 at 12:02 PM ^
" Have you seen what Warriner has done with Runyan Jr over the course of the season? "
Yes - turned from a MAC level turnstile into a mediocre P5 starter.
Considering what he has done with Runyan - what do you think he could do with Jonah Williams, Greg Little, or Dalton Risner? Maybe a touch better than he could do with Runyan?
October 29th, 2018 at 12:24 PM ^
Making the "Would you rather have two good things vs. one?" argument is fairly dumb. Of course having the best coachable talent with the best coaching is preferred, however, recruiting doesn't work that way (unless you are Alabama, Georgia, etc which apparently can walk into the recruiting store with their no spending limit credit card and the NCAA doesn't care)
For Michigan, the pool to pick from starts smaller. It takes significant effort to find the right recruits. That is why I trust guys like Harbaugh and Warriner to be able to find the right matches for all five positions on the line and turn them into a cohesive unit. That means there will be a fair share of 3* big tight ends and tweener guard/tackle prospects who turn into very good college tackles.
October 29th, 2018 at 1:53 PM ^

Harbaugh and Warriner think those 5* guys are the right recruits - or they wouldn't prioritize them over the 3/4* guys they have been getting.
In general, Harbaugh/Warriner aren't prioritizing the lower ranked guy - they're settling after they fail to land the bigger fish.
In cases where the coaches believe the lower ranked guy is better - I trust them. In cases where the coaches believe the higher ranked guy is better but settle for the lower ranked guy - I still trust their evaluation that the 5* guy was better.
October 29th, 2018 at 5:28 AM ^
Hi Maizens mommy
October 28th, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
I will be happy with this years O line recruits to see Danielson Ike commit here. Apparently Alabama and Michigan are his final 2.
