"Everyone will be following Vandy's lead now!'

Great news - this kid is like a lottery ticket with good odds to pay off!

I noticed a Vandy offer - normally that is nothing to write home about but since they hired Barton Simmons as the "General Manager" of Vandy, that means something to me.

Barton was one of the top guys at 247 and Vandy brought him in to play some moneyball.

In reply to Michigan is about to become… by BoFlex

Going the international route might actually work. We have had success in basketball but that's not comparing apples to apples, since American football isn't as big on the international stage as basketball and there isn't a lot of competitive football programs for them to sharpen their skills. They're probably thinking that recruits outside of the top 250 that actually do pan out are those who have taken to and benefit from great coaching. They believe they have good enough coaches to coach these guys up to the point where they can play at this level. If they are scouting for speed, athleticism, and strength, they can teach technique. It's a great strategy particularly if you refuse to throw big $$$ in NIL deals at recruits. If they continue to win over the next 3-4 years, everyone will be trying to copy the model.

:lol: Yes everyone is going to be rushing to bag up all the international players because Michgian is leading the way!

Speaking of basketball. I see them also keep for some odd reason comparing these guys to the Wagner brothers. Problem is even if Football and Basketball were even close to the same in this scenario. The Wagner's were both 4 star top 150 recruits.

The odds of these guys panning out are much closer to 0 than 100.

Basketball....a sport that had a literal Dream Team travel to Europe and put on display how awesome the sport of basketball could be way back in the 90s. Slowly, the world made strides and have almost caught up to the US, but still not really.

Football.....a sport that not one single other country plays anywhere near competitively. Where the NFL has forced the trashiest of trash teams to play in London for the last handful of years and that's it.

Yeah, these are comparable.
