Also, it looks like Zach Harrison is going to be a Buckeye. And Quavaris Crouch is SEC bound to be a Vol.

You can smell the future transfer from here

My thoughts exactly. This already feels like a headache for Michigan fans. Wishy washy kids like this aren't very successful at the next level.

Ahhh, mgoblow....don't ever change.

What's the over/under on how much longer Harbaugh has left? Not saying they're gonna necessarily oust him, but I'm curious how much longer he sits there with his seat hot without deciding to bail.

Harbaugh has a blank cheque at UM, he isn't going anywhere until he decides he is. He is their Messiah. If they fire him, where do they go from here? He was their mountain top. Now what? My bet is that he could literally murder someone and bury the corpse at the 50 yard line and be just fine.

Everything in that is true though. One day a decade or more from now we'll be watching the 30 for 30 on Alabama's rampant violations. The house will come tumbling down probably after Saban walks off into the sunset and the golden goose is gone.

I don't know if it is all true, but some of it has to be. You don't keep signing the top classes year in and year out without some extra help. Saban's shining personality alone isn't enough to convince the top kids every year that Bama is the place to be.

With the signings of previously uncommited Cornelius Johnson, WR, and the flip by Daxton Hill, S back to Michigan, three recruits commited to Michigan have not signed.

They are: Quinten Johnson, S, George Johnson III, and Amauri Pesek-Hinton. George J. and Amauri P-H are listed as Ath by 247.

The Johnsons commited in the summer after their OVs to Michigan. Amauri P-H commited in Nov. and has not taken any OVs and is h.s. teammates with Graham Mertz. Quinten J. is a four star S., who said four days ago that he was "100% commited" to Michigan. The other two are three star recruits.

Harbaugh, 2016, after notable scholarship offers to commited recruits were withdrawn on signing day -

“We may have people that can’t get into Michigan and we don’t know that because they haven’t finished their senior boards or grades,” Hackett said. “We find out that people have been terminally injured so they can’t pass a physical here. With those people, in some cases, we’ve offered to pay their educational (expenses). Third is, they didn’t perform. The recruiting started so much earlier that all the discussions of our program and competition is such that you’ve got to continue to earn a position on the team. If there’s somebody where that’s declined, there’s lot of conversations with them. It’s, 'Is there something wrong, is there something going on in your house, is your girlfriend mad at you?' Those are the kind of things you wonder about. Because we’re seeing a drop-off in performance. That’s communicated more to the high school coaches. …

Former commit Swenson: U-M told me not to come

Michigan has twenty-four signees. Wth Devin Bush declaring for the NFL, their total count at this time is eighty-five.

 

[ulukinatme]

Scumbags. Swenson took the high road, and that's a shame. He was the first recruit in his class, and he stuck with them after Fred Flintstone was fired? At least he landed in Oklahoma and made their two deep this season.

That crap about continuing to earn your position, that's just some bullshit that translates to "We found someone better, no offer for you anymore. Hit the bricks."

Devin Bush and Karan Higdon are skipping Michigan's bowl game to prepare for the NFL draft, joining Rashan Gary. Their starting CBs Lavert Hill and David Long may follow. Bush, Hill, Long and Gary are Juniors. Chris Evans, second string RB, has 74 carries this year. For perspective, Shea Patterson has 66 carries. Higdon has 224 carries. Bush has 67 total tackles, second only to Tyree Kinnel, CB, by one. Bush has the highest number of sacks with 36 with Winovich second with 33.

Harbaugh is not happy.

the trend is getting worse and worse.

at least we have something to play for!!

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Hope Florida rolls these pansies. Cue the "we played with our second team" excuses.

I still don't know how we beat them with Wimbush at QB in game 1, where their defense was already at a high level because they all started together last year.

What a freaking awesome win, because they're losing a ton this year and we might just win that game in ann arbor next year too.

LOL this is going to be great.

Wimbush played like a man that day for sure! Defense was awesome in the first half. Crowd was off the charts...mainly because I was there.

 

[Valpodoc85]

gonna be a long off season if they lose the bowl game.

It was because of the green-out that you started. You got the crowd into it, which fueled the team.

Losing the bowl game is just another sign that the dynasty build is coming together as planned

Interesting local radio stat today.

Harbaugh has brought in 105 players in 4 years vs MSUs 85. Welcome to Alabama North.

Is Winobitch sitting out as well?

They're at risk of losing this game based on ~5 key starters calling it a day.

I think he said he was going to play, but I could be wrong. I think Patterson is playing too. It would be delicious if they both change course and decide to sit out though.
