Every night my wife and I smoke lambs breath. Bob Marley's fav. Ironically enough, my company specializes in building, designing and more specifically the HVAC for a lot of grow rooms commercially and residentially. So yeah, super excited.
Reality is that we have one of the biggest fan bases that subscribe to 247 or Rivals recruiting services. No one gets excited about landing a 2 or 3 star. Some Michigan commits that should drag down the recruiting class overall ranking usually ends up getting the proverbial additional star bump, taking them from a two star to a three star. Another thing that matters a lot is roster management. Developing depth with eligibility gaps between players. Roster management just seems tad bit off. I understand going for the best players on the board at positions of needs, but when you strike out you have to have a back-up plan recruit that can at least be developed and contribute to the team a few years down the line. Good example is from last years class with DT. We missed out on all our targets and didn't have any late offers to plan B or C kids? The rebuild process is going to take longer than expected but that's ok. Will always be a fan.
The coaching staff wants to run a pro style offense. But the reality is that high school programs across the country are running spread offenses (different variations) with basic route tree concepts and reads that put the ball in the hands of their playmakers. So when we get these guys on campus we literally have to break those ingrained tendencies and style of play and teach them a new much more complex scheme.
I know that people will point out Wisconsin and MSU and say they can do it. These programs have proven to be vastly better at identifying guys that fit their system and develop them over a few years before hitting the field. We don't have the luxury having them redshirt and sit for a few years and absorb the playbook. The team is heavily relying on young guys to contribute.
I've never cared about many stars a guy has. Does he fit the system we have. Will he fit a certain role on the team. Bobby Bowden and Mack brown both stated that they had a roster full of four and five star guys but they were obviously weren't the right guys for their system. I think the coaching staff has done a great job identifying defensive recruits. The verdict is very much out if the offensive staff can do the same.
Scott frost is coaching two teams. And he's going toe to toe with a very good Auburn team with scheme and coaching. After Michigan lost to Kansas St in the prestigious Buffalo wild wings bowl I created Coach Harbaugh and replaced Brady Hoke, thus setting the laws of attraction to make it happen in real life. I've come to the realization that I clearly am a bad person and that's why Michigan football is cursed.
The type of offense he wants to run isn't exactly the best for allowing high school players to transition easily to college such as an offense like Penn state or ohio State which majority of high schools are running spread Concepts. Running a pro-style offense requires so much more development within the system. It is what it is
I am glad DTR is probably going to UCLA. Personal opinion, way overated. Would rather have Milton 10 out 10 times. Milton has crazy upside. DTRs film is very lack luster.
I hope dpj makes an immediate impact but pro style wide receiver route tree and responsibilities are very different from what was asked by Treadwell or Watkins. There are so many more subtle nuisances to the wide receiver position for a wr at Michigan than at OSU, Clemson or Auburn.
Draymond green is a boko haram member...fuck OSU and lebron..I'll be staring at my white wall like the king pin in daredevil, waiting for football season to come.
01 Farmington Harrison
Charles Stewart Michigan CB
Drew Stanton MSU QB
Marcus Woods Mizzu RB
Dave Condeni WMU TE
Ajim Shabai MSU WR
Terrel Mayberry Bowling Green CB
In total 7 or 8 division one guys
And a hand full of d 2 guys
It was a blood bath..as in we got destroyed.. Livonia Franklin..best collective team I ever faced..ended up being ranked 3rd overall in the entire country..I don't know how they determine national prep rankings but that's what we were told after the fact.
On a side note I made coach harbaugh the head coach in EA sports NCAA football 2014 right after the bowl loss to Kansas state, which is almost to the one year mark of his actual arrival. So I just simmed every game and the crystal ball is telling me 15-0...book it!
My source is the Xbox.
I was in a very heavy state of Michigan football depression and could not cope with real football so I found solace in the video game, I have issues...
My bold prediction...jabril peppers will be re-evaluated and coach will move him to offense to be a slot/ HB weapon. He would instantly be the best offensive weapon on our team and then precedes to make big plays after big plays. He is so fucking dynamic with the ball. As a staff, how do you not try to get this guy at least 20 touches a game either through punt returns, kickoffs, jet sweeps, passing game, or wildcat formation. Every year there are a few recruits that come out and you know they will be absolute studs that will be playing on sundays such as, Julio Jones, or clowney, watkins, ha ha clinton dix, or furnette. Even without playing one down in college, just by watching their high school films, you just know they are a cut above the rest and not even an underperforming coach could screw it up. I get that vibe from peppers. He gonna burst onto this season and make a huge mark.
Tyriq Thompson can't be contacted by our staff anymore. He has already signed his LOI with MSU and will be enrolling in winter semester. Its against ncaa rules to contact a commit once they have signed their LOI. In regards to Kelly from Oak Park, MSU offered him a scholarship to play corner. As much as I hate Dantonio, if that guy wants you as a cb then you probably should take a hard look at him at that position as well. Side not, Garret Taylor camped at MSU and their staff was not impressed with him and did not offer, so for those that we upset about his decommitment, maybe we just dodged an overhyped guy that won't do much, but time will tell.
shane morris throws one of the prettiest deep balls there is, but its his accuracy, it is not even close to being there.
Having a cannon for an arm is great for 7 on 7. But what seems to wins games at the college level and nfl level are guys that are cerebral in their approach to the game. Guys that are just heady and take care of the ball. Great examples of quarterbacks in college that possessed this quality would be Craig Krenzel, Drew Breeze, Russell Wilson, obviously Tom Brady and Payton Manning. Go figure that they also make great pro qb except for krenzel. Having a cannon for an arm is a good trait but it is very overrated. I'll take the guy who can read a defense and check down anyday over the guy who can launch a pretty spiral 70 yards downfield. Andrew Luck or Dan Marino are good examples of guys that possess both attributes but they are once in a generation type players.

I watched it and it was a constant gut punch. Themes I took out of it...
1) if you are poor, good luck with the legal system
2) they seemed to care more about getting a conviction rather than the right person
3) tons of corruption within that police department.
Great watch and yeah....
