Jeez. They have four top 100 WRs committed in 2020. #3 player in class among them.
Speed in spades.
October 26th, 2019 at 1:47 PM ^
Maybe that's why Harbaugh is still winless against OSU. #starsdontmatter

Closet OSU fans are equally as annoying of the socalled reasonable OSU fans who jump on here.
Cynical a view point as it might seem, it's way easier to be reasonable and magnanimous if you are rooting for the team dominating the situation like they have.
Spare us and find something else to do with your time. You add nothing.
I think the real reason you are here is to take pleasure in the situation as it currently stands.
Day might be Larry Coker or in that category. He might be great. We really honestly won't know that for a 3 or 4 years because they are that loaded currently.
We keep finding a million different ways to restate the obvious: they have obscene talent like never in their history.
Someday they'll whiff on a coach and/or the NCAA will grow a pair and enforce rules for their non-student athlete/recruiting shenanigans.
Until then, more annual rough sledding.

Yeah ohio state musf be cheating. Wisconsin too, they wwre up on us 35-0.
Every school in the nation is cheating besides Michigan
October 26th, 2019 at 3:58 PM ^
I've invested my hope in the NIL rights. Maybe it's ill-founded, but I truly believe it came at just the right time for us (and the rest of the NCAA). We were getting on pace for the majority of the talent to all go to approximately ~6 teams. I don't think college football could sustain a situation like the NBA or college basketball where there's hardly any parity. Viewership and attendance would just go down. In the NBA it's more of a national sport and people enjoy watching the best of the best dominate. In college basketball the tournament works as a great equalizer.
Personally, the only college football playoff game I ever watched was OSU-Oregon the first year they had it. Needless to say, it was disappointing. People watch the basketball tournament games because they're exciting and even though you have the consistent powerhouses, they're often upset and there are all sorts of intriguing matchups. College football needs parity to be exciting and without it the sport will continue to cannibalize itself. NIL might be just the thing to reinvigorate college football and break up the talent sponges in Columbus, Tuscaloosa, Norman, and Clemson. In every playoff except the first one three of those four teams were present (and in the first one two of them were).

I can tell you that's not why I joined up. I find that on a lot of boards (e.g., Black Shoe Diaries and yes, this one) there's often a reasoned and literate take on such a passionate, visceral sport and that intersection is really interesting to me. (Plus, I just love me some college football.) But I can see where you could feel that way, esp. given recent history.
So good luck with everybody except, of course, OSU. Hope all your peeps stay healthy.

Two 5 star DEs
Two 5 star DBs
A 5 star LB and another as a backup.
Offense next year will be insane, they could start 7-8 5 stars on offense next season.
October 26th, 2019 at 2:31 PM ^
It’s crazy. OSU has 5-stars just waiting to crack the two deep. While UM has half of each class transfer and is forced to play underdeveloped 3-stars who are years away from seeing the field
October 26th, 2019 at 2:26 PM ^
I’m going to lose my mind if we don’t double team Young on every play.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
Do it....then Zach Harrison will kick your ass. We dont rebuild we reload.
October 26th, 2019 at 6:09 PM ^
Not real hard when you have 14 players drafted every other year and 9 in-between the great years.
October 30th, 2019 at 5:06 PM ^
especially when the money is right too, you pay me enough ill live damn near anywhere
October 26th, 2019 at 3:03 PM ^
This is the best schematically thought and executed OSU offense I have ever seen.
Ryan Day looks like an upgrade. As does Benedict Mattison.
This OSU team will win the national championship.
We are royally fucked for the foreseeable future.
Never say it can't get any worse. It has.
When does basketball start.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:18 PM ^
Ohio State will basically be able to beat us as bad as they want. Score 50? 60? 70? Itll be up to them. This is going to fucking blow
As a UM fan I want to believe we have a chance in every game but its not looking very hopeful vs OSU this season at all
October 26th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Remember 1969 - I was there....
October 26th, 2019 at 3:15 PM ^
it's what you accumulate when you cheat your ass off. . .
I'm getting so sick of this shit. That team needs to go down in the worst way.
Meanwhile we're in the weeds scrapping against Army and walking away with moral victories against Penn State. . .
October 26th, 2019 at 3:21 PM ^
Please explain how they cheat? You sound like such a crybaby bitch
October 26th, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
What an old pile of shit you bring.
I hate aOSU as much as anyone...but haven’t heard of meter/day paying anyone to go to aOSU.
4&5 star kids want to be coached by legends. We may hate Urban Liar...but he, Johnson and Mattison are excellent.
is it remotely possible that Michigan’s success has more to do with Mattison and less to do Brown?
October 26th, 2019 at 4:55 PM ^
So how does da Ohio get fields over a racial slur from a baseball player. How does this invincible team get Penn St n Wisconsin at home while Mich plays both on road?
October 26th, 2019 at 6:11 PM ^
I guess that’s why Harbaugh signed ZERO top 100 recruits in the 2018 class,lol,ZERO meaning not a one.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:17 PM ^
Chase Young is what Rashan Gary was supposed to be. Dude has 13.5 sacks already this season alone. Gary had 9.5 in 3 seasons
October 26th, 2019 at 3:19 PM ^
GaRy WaSnT a BuSt
6.5 of those 9.5 were against Rutgers and Indiana...he was the most disappointing player we’ve had in a long time.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:20 PM ^
Urban recruited them, so yeah probably.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
He meant at least one 5 star per position group. 1 in the secondary, 1 in the linebacking group and 1 on the d-line.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:33 PM ^
The underlying point if all this is, they are so much more talented than we are and the gap between the two programs is widening. That last Saturday in November will not be pretty. In my 55 years I don't ever remember the talent disparity being so blatant and obvious. As a program we are not close to being where OSU is.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:47 PM ^
Which is even more of a reason why its complete bullshit that Fields was granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA
Remove Fields and OSU's best QB would've been Tate Martell and he isn't even good enough to start in Miami
With Fields OSU's offense is the best its ever been
October 26th, 2019 at 3:50 PM ^
Hello,
Remember me? Only 34 days until we meet again.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
How lame do you have to be to catfish as a player and go on an opposing teams board and post as if youre him.
October 26th, 2019 at 6:02 PM ^
Pretty lame.
October 26th, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
announcers are just star gazers
October 26th, 2019 at 4:59 PM ^
That defense is insane. I don’t think they lose this year unless Fields goes down and even then I’m not sure they are losing. They are just that good across the board this year.
October 26th, 2019 at 5:02 PM ^
Our only chance not to get blown out will be to move the pocket early and often. We won’t be able to run and forgot about dropping back and passing. Just quick, short throws and see if our receivers can get some yardage. I just don’t see us staying on the field with them this year.
October 26th, 2019 at 6:15 PM ^
No your best hope is the OSU team bus breaks down and OSU forfeits.
October 26th, 2019 at 6:17 PM ^

October 26th, 2019 at 7:02 PM ^
They had a starter out ,senior DE Jonathon Cooper did not play because of a injury.
October 26th, 2019 at 7:32 PM ^
It would not matter if OSU had 2 star talent at every position. Their coaching staff has an uncanny ability to develop talent, something the UM staff has no clue how to do. UM is where stars come to die and stars are born at OSU.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:28 AM ^
I think if you’re looking at it, they have at least one 5-star player in every defense positional group:
DE: Young, Harrison, Smith, Cooper
DT: Vincent
LB: Browning, Hilliard
DB: Okudah, Wade
I’m sure there is more but those guys could all be on the field at the same time and most often are. What’s even crazier is the same amount of guys they have that are top-100 players who fall just outside 5-Star. That’s this, doubled.
