JLH was never in any of the Scream movies, she was mentioned as "Jennifer Love Huge-Tits" as the actress would play Sidney if a movie was made of her life, but she never appeared in any of them.  Neve Campbell was the star of that series, along with Courney Cox and David Arquette.

 

JLH was in the "I know what you did last Summer" series.

That’s great!!! At least he didn’t decide to back out at the very last minute!!!! In all serious, this was a great get and I’m glad he decided to be a Wolverine.

to pull a kid out of their home state where the local school just played for the NC.  Sure not the greatest class and we didn't have a good season, but no reason to throw in the towel yet. 2018 should be a big year and it needs to be. If we get it turned around we already have a great start to 2019 recruting and could end up with a top 3 class when they sign in a year.

Fan and posting stupid things on their blog. Some people would say this behavior is pathetic, a waste of time, and beneath common dignity, but despite all that, it is worth it. It makes me feel better as an MSU, OSU, ( fill in blank) fan to spew negative sentiments not based on fact. To make myself feel even better, I hide behind an anonymous name. It takes a lot of back bone to walk in the Lions den in the comfort of my moms basement to shit on a college team I don't like. I feel really good about myself. Does anyone want to visit the local bowling alley and make me a trophie? Please make sure to dip the trophie in vinegar because I am such a doushe. Thank you, that is all

It is disappointing that they missed out on so many top targets and the class lacks anyone from the top 100, but the class is still ranked #19 and the 2017 class was top 5 while the 2016 class was top 10. As long as they rebound with the 2019 class, things should be just fine.

At the very least, Harbs and staff could post all the enumerous comments on this and other boards to motivate the incoming class. Probably enough there to wallpaper over the pink lockerroom in Iowa City.

I will say this - if you asked me which one was more difficult to explain between the overall makeup of this football recruiting class or the inability to make a free throw on a consistent basis, I would probably be throwing the majority of the resources into finding solutions for the latter.

Do NOT rule out Barrett playing viper.  I was legitamitley shocked from watching his tape at linebacker.  It felt like i was watching Eric Berry at times.  Hes got some amazing instincts for defense and his agility is intriguing.  Hes been my favorite player for this class based on his tape.  Wether hes at RB or viper he will make a big impact in the future.

in the change to the recruiting narrative. Until we get back to doing the things we do well nothing will change that. Michigan is entering into 2018 as the "No Excuses" year and I fully expect the team to be different and coach Harbaugh to be different. There is more than enough talent for us to be successful. I will trust that a coach of Harbaugh's pedigree can fix what is broken and will put the people around him that can help him do that. All the whining on this board about a 4* kid not signing with Michigan will have very little bearing on the outcome of 2018.  We will win with what we have now not with what would be walking into the door this summer. Go Blue!!

To me. 2017 was a no excuses year. There were reasons we were bad. Some of them point directly at the coaching staff, and some even at Jim Harbaugh. We can all agree 8-5 was bad. 8-5 was our worst possible expectations, and we were never close to going 7-6. IMO, it's a positive that Jim Harbaugh has elevated the program to 8-5 being the absolute floor though. It was a BAD blip, but shows that he is building a strong program.

that type of label on such a young team. Too many losses and some of the older players were bypassed on the depth chart due to talent and work ethic. I think Harbaugh knew exactly what he was in store for this past year. You could see how he was handling the team. That is the reason this year should be more indicative of what and where we are truly at from a development standpoint. Onward and Upward. Go Blue!!!

But I like a lot of these players in our class. Cam McGrone and Hutchinson are going to make recruiting sites feel like they missed big for not making these guys unanimous top 100 recruits. Sims too. Our blocky/catchy types are super promising, and I'm a fan of the RBs.
