Come now, guys.... RR stealing players from Tiller was just a reason to hate RR before we really got to know him.

The second he signed the UM contract was reason enough. Everything since is just icing on the cake.

If it's a bridge over a mix of money and WVU fan tears, you can bet your ass I would.

Maybe Joe wasn't mad at RR for recruiting one of his commits (which I think everyone will agree is relatively commonplace) but rather "selling somebody something of little or no value" which is what it means to be a snake oil salesman. He didn't call him a thief
Maybe RR was selling a WR recruit (Roundtree) of the TSUN WR legacy and how many receivers they send to NFL compared to Purdue...when in reality a receiver in the RR offense is underutilized.

I don't think there is a thread for Seastrunk, but there should be. I saw his sophmore highlights video a few months ago and it's probably the most exciting I've seen since Noel Devine. |

$cout - Forcier down to 6 with no leader (WSU, UF, PSU, Oreg, UM, ASU). Mention he was offered before Newsome/Beaver and still being pursued by UM. Doesn't think that both would stay committed if he verballed there.
Tate, I think you were supposed to keep that quiet

Newsome's switch from Western Branch to Hargrave, though, might not be his last move. Former Bruins coach Lew Johnston, a close family friend of the Newsomes, said colleges have continued to recruit the talented quarterback even after his Michigan commitment.
Virginia Tech, a team Newsome grew up rooting for, is among those suitors.
"I thought when he picked Michigan, he jumped the gun a little bit, and I was disappointed," Johnston said. "I told him that."
Johnston is not a big fan of Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez, who told Newsome he was "their guy" and then continued to recruit several other top quarterbacks. Michigan received a second QB commitment just days after Newsome's pledge.

Big Ten: Michigan
Slocum off team, Grady in limbo
Rodriguez says tackle didn't live up to U-M's standards; tailback is suspended indefinitely.
Angelique S. Chengelis / The Detroit News
CHICAGO -- Kevin Grady is indefinitely suspended from the Michigan Wolverines, and Marques Slocum is no longer on the team.
Grady, a backup tailback from Grand Rapids, is no longer working out with his teammates after being arrested earlier this month for allegedly driving while intoxicated, according to Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez.
Meanwhile, Slocum, a defensive tackle who played one season for the Wolverines after transferring from a prep school and sitting out a year, did not "meet the requirements" to play football at Michigan, Rodriguez said on Thursday, the first day of Big Ten media days.
"Several issues, academically and football-wise," Rodriguez said when discussing Slocum.
As for Grady, he apparently has a long road to work his way back into Rodriguez's good graces. Grady sat out last season while recovering from a knee injury.
"He's working out on his own," Rodriguez said. "Still attending classes. It's kind of on a week-by-week basis on him getting back. He has to do certain things internally within the program to get back on the team. And then once he does that, there will be some playing-time penalties as well and then he's on a strict kind of a watch. He has to earn his way on the team, and we'll take it from there."

translation:
You're going to sit the first series vs Utah and you better not get arrested between now and then.
