Star-Crossed Top Recruits of 2005 More Likely to Be Arrested Than Drafted


Star-Crossed Top Recruits of 2005 More Likely to Be Arrested Than Drafted -- NCAA Football FanHouse

That means there have been 11 draft picks from the 2005 five-stars. Amazingly, that's less than the number of men who have been arrested, 14. If you ever doubted whether being obsessed with college football recruiting was fool's gold, keep this stat in mind: In 2005, five-star recruits were more than twice as likely to be arrested (14) as drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft in 2008 or 2009 (six).

Yes because Dick Rod was such a disciplinarian at WVU with Chris Henry and Pac-Man.

Grady's pretty expendable at this point.

The boys who blew err I mean...in blue failed to break 20 points 7 times and lost to a worse MAC team than Kent State.

Maybe the Delaware State vs scUM matchup is more even than people think.

He shouldn't. Michigan doesn't need him or players like him. He has been given too many chances. I hope he grows up and stays out of trouble though.

This statement could also be made about RR. Damn it, I want my rivalry back! What RR has turned Michigan is a pathetic shell of its former self.

UM is back in the mix for TX dual-threat QB Jeremy Johnson after a staff visit from AA. WVU still leads, with UM & Baylor trailing (both offered). Will decide this summer.

I've been waiting 27 years to see an offense that employs 4 quarterbacks, 4 RBs, and 3 slot dots. Thank god for dick rod.

Keep It Close And Lose In The Fourth Quarter | mgoblog[quote]Keep It Close And Lose In The Fourth Quarter
By Brian — May 15th, 2009

A lengthy but interesting look back at Carr's style of football at UM

Michigan entered 18 games over that period of time [2000-2005] with a lead smaller than ten points and went 8-10 in those games. They were under .500 when entering the fourth with a small lead! When tied or facing a similarly small deficit, Michigan was 6-1. In all games in which Michigan trailed by any margin they were 8-8. Michigan had a better chance of winning if trailing by any margin entering the fourth than they did if leading slightly.

That was always Carr's style playing not lose instead of stepping on the opponents throats.

You mean we have to wait until RR takes the lead into the 4th quarter of 18 games before we can do a comparison?

Talk about job security.
