Some folks up north are starting to pull their heads out of the sand and take a look around...

Re: More DE's off the board!
Maybe we should start a thread also titled "More O and D linemen off the board" next? Wonder if we'll see the entire offense as slot receivers and the entire defense as safeties?

Re: More DE's off the board!
Don't get me started. I'm really trying to hold out hope, but we knew coming into this season that DE was our most pressing need, even moreso than QB IMO. If we sign more WRs and no solid DEs I'm going to wonder whether the WVUers were right about him signing all skill players and shuffling off the practice losers to play defense.
Prove me right RRod! I don't want to agree with those clowns.

Re: More DE's off the board!
You can go back and dig up old posts I made before RR was hired expressing concern over his defensive abilities. I fear he really doesn't care about defense, so far, it's fairly disappointing on that side of the ball and falling right into my fears. I'm not AS concerned with the OL as we did land 6 in the 2008 class but what about DE and DT? Come on now. You can't win in the Big 10 without a defense, especially against the run.

Not to second guess RR... but wuts with all the 3-star recruits? Seems like we are getting only the leftovers from all this southern emphsis on recruiting. I hope that once we start winning, we'll start pulling in some big name recruits.

I read a thread on GBW where several(more like most) of the posters are getting worried about their DE/defensive recruiting. There was one poster that listed every DE Michigan has offered or is heavily recruiting...one...one of the 7-8 listed had Michigan in the top 3. In fact the poster acknowledged that Michigan was not even being considered anymore by 4 of these recruits. He also mentioned Carradine and admitted that unless tank gets his grades up it won't matter anyways.
There is another thread about their overall recruiting. Some of the posters are seeing more and more recruits trimming their lists dropping Michigan or committing somewhere else..."its becoming a daily occurance". One posters admitted this is the risk of neglecting your home state and region and selling out to southern recruitng/regions you don't normally recruit. Michigan is known for the OOS recruiting but their bread and butter has always been the midwest recruiting complemented with OOS recruiting. Neglecting their state and region is starting to nip them in the ass!! their fans are starting to see what we have been talking about...their starting to wake up.

Banish the thought, my confused friend. You're putting the cart before the ass here, because RR's ability to develop Big Ten AA caliber players is anything but established...
Instead, you should be hoping and praying that if you start pulling in some big name recruits, you might start (or have a shot at getting back to) winning!

Yeah, but we have a pretty good idea what Big East bastketball is all about, and their *take* on football isn't all that dissimilar.

Dissimilar - adj: unlike
Unlike - adj: Different
Different - adj: RR and JT
