I know the guys were joking. So was I. Just going to have to wait and see as always. Not tipping his hand. Should be a good one to follow.

What other LBs are you looking at? If Ifeadi an OLB or DE in the coaches eyes?

What I have read has Ifeadi as a LEO (DE).

James Ross

6'0", 209 lbs.

Linebacker

Orchard Lake, Michigan

Ross is probably the top prospect in the state of Michigan for the 2012 class. He has been racking up the offers lately, and recently received a verbal one from Ohio State. James and his father recently visited Ann Arbor before the Best of the Midwest combine so they could get a better feel for the new coaches. His father (also named James) told me about how that trip went.

We've been up there quite a few times, but I wanted him to meet the new staff. The staff was actually trying to get him up there as much as I was. Everything was smooth, everything they said was what he was looking for.

I'm not sure I even need to say this any more, but Greg Mattison has again left his mark on a recruit.

He fell in love with coach Mattison. I never paid attention early on to coordinators that much, but that guy was great. He was kinda funny too. He and coach Hoke broke it all open for him. We were there close to three hours just talking about football with Mattison, and more conversation with Hoke. Hoke's like a good ole boy, it was refreshing.

so, not to dwell on this too much, but I think I have come up with a good analogy for why this is so weird to me

Brian Kelly is to being interested in a players family as Eric Cartman is to being nice... they just can't quite figure it out and it ends up being more creepy than genuine

Advisor: the best thing isn't to act like you are interested in a player's family, the best thing is to be genuinely interested

Brian Kelly: okay, how do you act genuinely interested?

Advisor: I give up, why don't you just break down film of his younger brother?

Brian Kelly: that's a great idea! I will wear a nice sweater too!

Definitely creepy. You have to ask yourself how they found the film.
