Dude above is a stud
Waiting for Michigan and ohio to officially wrap up recruiting, then I am going to do a piece on both teams. Seems that Meyer is taking some heat for flipping kids from different programs. What's the problem? Seriously, if your favorite teams coach was flipping kids like flapjacks, not just any player either, top notch talent, you would be elated. As a Michigan fan I would love to sit here and bash Meyer for what he has done but I cannot do it, it's too easy but not worthy of ridicule. What he has done is what coaches do and will continue to do in the everchanging world of recruiting. It is more evident today than ever how big and popular college football recruiting has become. I can tell you for a fact that there will be thousands of Michigan fans glued to their computers at 7:00 PM to see if 5 star OL Jordan Diamond will choose Michigan over Auburn and Arkansas. Though I think Diamond is overrated and not worthy of 5 stars, I will be also because it lifts their team ranking.
Star rankings are the madness behind recruiting rankings and personally I think some of them are way off. I see kids on film that are 3* players that blow my mind and some 5* that have me scratching my head. Give me 4 - 3* LB's over 2- 5* anyday. The reasoning is you have a better chance of one of the 3* players producing simply becuase there is more of them. Take a recruiting class with 25 kids and in four years a little over half may still be around, a few in jail, some have no discipline or work ethic. Of those 25, 10 have produced at the college level, 8 are really good players and five go pro. That is the reality of college football and expectations.
I obviously stole this picture off of one of my favorite sites which is mgoblog.com. This is Michigans current 2012 class without two more possible commits. Seven all-Americans and a slew of all state standouts make up this excellent class of recruits. I would like to dive more into it but saving for big blog I will do next week.
