Submitted by kb on
Just a reminder that Ahmir Mitchell is announcing his school today and making a commitment. Not sure what time the announcement is happening.

You are the only school left.  He is picking between 2 schools.  UM and OSU.  OSU has said there isnt room for him because they have 2 or 3 guys rated higher than him and have limited room.

So when your down to 2 schools and one is basically saying not now, that kind of only leaves one option.

I think honestly, he wants to go to OSU.  I think that is the only reason this has gone on this long.  He is hoping they come after him or one of the other guys goes elswhere so he has a spot.  That is the only explanation for waiting this long when you are down to 2 schools and one is saying no thanks.

For the record, I think you guys will be getting a good one.  I also think OSU likes him but not more than Binjamen, Myers, and Corley.  I would have like nabbing him and it's annoying you guys will get him.

I'm assuming your new staff will coach him up and utilize him properly.  I think you guys will be dangerous sooner rather than later.

Pre-congrats.  I don't like this too much. haha

Only a Buckeye takes 6 poorly written paragraphs to gloat "Enjoy our scraps."  Go ahead and generate another 6 paragraphs of internal dialogue pondering how little you add to this blog.

Of course the OSU coaches didn't come out and say that and I don't think they are even allowed to discuss recruits by name to the media. However osu insiders on 11w have been saying for a couple of months that osu would not take a commitment from Mitchell at this time. If he wanted to be a buckeye and they don't want him, he will make sure they regret that decision every time he plays them. I'm okay with that.

People like you that feel compelled to post backhanded complimentson rival blogs, mostly in an effort to hide thier gloating, really are pathetic little people.

Fair enough.  I really didn't mean it that way at all.

Good thing I don't make my living as a professional writer then. 

I was realy going for a sarcastic of couse he's picking you guys response to the "all signs point to blue" or whatever it was and then a sincere congrats for picking up a really good player.

That one backfired.

I don't get the excessive negging of my posts stating I was misunderstood and I didn't mean it that way.  Hell, I got negged for pointing out what you said was a fair point.

But whatever.  I can see now why it wasn't taken the way I meant it.

I don't try to go out and troll.

I fail to see how I was gloating. 

My tone wasn't, other guys are better so he sucks. 

It was "OSU has rated other guys higher and therefore won't accept his commitment."

Nothing in it was to say Mitchell was no good.  Quite the opposite.

He's going to Michigan, his offer to OSU is of the non-committable (sp?) variety, the staff isn't allowed to comment on him, and you won't change anyone's mind here any more than you would at 11W was the situation reversed. My understanding is that they view him as a TE rather than WR, and already have Farrell, Hausmann, and Alexander in the class. Alexander might be too big to play WR, even though he's listed as such (just like Mitchell).

I just don't see what they see in my comments at all.

I said OSU wouldn't accept his commitment due to the other 3 being rated higher, not because they think he sucks.

But that I thought he was a real good player and it sucks he was coming here.

no sarcasm at all.

backhanded compliment - you're only getting him cause we don't want him... I'd say something along the lines of: Congrats, he's going to be a good one, I hope we decide to make room and steal him later, just to twist that knife after Weber last year.

This ass went back to his O$U website 11 warriors to whine and cry about us when all he does over there is trash Michigan non stop. Look at his posting history from 11warriors, it's almost entirely consisting of cheap shots and shit talking Michigan. You're pathetic, and your obsession with Michigan isn't healthy.

So the posting history you speak of isn't me.  Not a whiner and I try not to troll.  Apparently I failed at that today.

I would point out I have a positive points balance (even after today) as "an enemy" and you sit at -19 as I write this.
