I generally agree with your stance about how people happily buy into the whole recruiting drama thing. But you go too far. What are you accomplishing by posting this stuff every time? I mean, you're dedicating just as much time to down-talk others in a very nasty way.

Which is worse?

Again, I have a similar perspective on the whole thing, but I don't feel the need to denigrate everyone who enoys following the process. You can make your point without being so god damned venomous about it.

Sorry man, it's a free market and that means there are opposing viewpoints. The homeristic posts on this place are bad enough when it's warranted but when it goes off completely unbridled over absolutely nothing real it's completely obnoxious. This place has been and should be better than a bunch of 14 yr old fanboys with no realistic understanding of the process trying to hang on to anything and everything just "because Michigan". I get that my posts about the stuff are caustic, it's even more obnoxious to see people continually denigrate other schools or programs because they're not Michigan especially when we don't even have the high ground in many of those situations. To make comments about what a terrible mistake an 18 yr old kid is making going to play for Bama because of educational reasons as though they are signing on to go to school at some third rate for profit college is ridiculous. It makes our fan base look completely uniformed and honestly pretty shitty and deserving of my scorn. Is Michigan a world class university that rivals the best in the country? of course. Is there not a good argument for a kid who is deciding to play football with his life to go to Bama? I mean give me a break. It's not at you man, I get your point and I'm cognizant of it. But there are plenty of people who should take some pause before posting (just like I do because someone makes a sane argument like you did, which I appreciate). So that's my side, if that makes me "that guy" okay I'll bear that burden. For you I will sincerely make an effort to try not to be as defamatory or personally attacking, but I'm gonna remain sarcastic, deal?

If Solomon's mom said "my boy is going to Michigan or he's not going anywhere," that would be news. If his HS coach said he's coming to Michigan, that would be news. If Solomon committed to Michigan, that would be "news."

I don't call some recruiting guy's opinion "news."

Not really relevant to this topic but Lorenz just posted an update on 247 saying the prospects of Newsome playing next year are basically 0, but long term the staff expects him to suit up again.
