Yes, a top 3 of MSU, UM, and ND. From what I've read, it doesn't sound like this is a gimme for UM.

Seems like most of our Midwest recruits have a top three of ND, MSU & scUM.

i saw the tape of St Mary's state final game vs Muskegon this year, a big grudge match but full of crazy turnovers that St M managed to win 7-0. If I remember Ross played both ways LB and TE

SCUM

I'd guess Harbaugh waited until Werner chose ND before accepting Ross' commitment.

I don't think that's it. Michigan needs a lot of LB's this cycle. They just lost a bunch and will lose some more after this year. Plus one of the LB recruits they got from Alabama in 2016 still hasn't cleared admissions. They need the bodies.

This kid did not like DJ Durkin, his style of defense, and the diminished role his brother had under Durkin. He would've committed a long time ago if Don Brown had been the DC. He finally got to spend time around Brown and pretty much committed on the spot after meeting with him and breaking down film and talking in detail about how Brown uses his LB's and how he'd be used.

He's a lot bigger at the same stage as his brother, not sure he was quite as good a high school football player, but he's bigger and probably even more athletic, he does have some potential. James Ross was a heck of a HS player, never really reached his full potential in college and was always a little too small IMO.

Wow, cuts schollys/commitments and gets guys that are questionable in regard to admissions...... We are talking about scUM and not the SEC, right?

Harbaugh as well as Meatchicken has both sold their souls for the long awaited return to some kind of glory. Harbaugh is a walking douche, and in the reality of where things stand, is no better than the liar in Columbus.

douche or no douche, the guy has won a lot of football games as a head coach.

I'd say Urban and Saban are both pretty big douches, and they are the two best coaches in the college game.

show me a great coach that isn't a bit of a douche. I don't think ya can.

Huge difference between a bit of a douche and Harbaugh. I mean, really, this guy takes the cake for coaches that are tools. This has nothing to do with him being a good coach or not, I just feel very lucky I don't have to cheer for that guy.

Saban isn't a douche. He may be a lot of things, but a douche isn't one of them. Harbaugh is definitely a douche. Meyer is worse than a douche.

 

[Wingman Ray]

Saban isn't a douche. He may be a lot of things, but a douche isn't one of them. Harbaugh is definitely a douche. Meyer is worse than a douche.

Saban may not be a douche but he is a big time liar and lacks integrity. Multiple times he has pulled scholarship offers 1-2 weeks prior to signing day from recruits that have been committed for up to a year and offered a grey shirt or walk on. Everyone knows grey shirts never actually become a scholarship anyhow. He just has a full class the next year and you are SOL.

But Harbaugh is a major jackleg with a mouth that wont stop. I used to favor Mich somewhat vs OSU in the annual game but now, I hate to admit I cant simply because of that guy.
