BISONATION Recruiting Updates

If we lose a recruit to Michigan, that tells me the staff is spot on.
Trust the process

Tru can go anywhere for free as he's on his father's GI Bill, so Michigan and NDSU would be the same in that aspect. I think Tru ends up at Michigan.

How so......have things changed since I served? I received the GI Bill and it was for me only...nobody else. Also it wasn't a "full ride"...just a monthly check that certainly didn't cover all expenses. I served 3 yrs active..... now it could be if you made it a career maybe you got more but I don't remember anything like that but I sure could be wrong.

According to this, it's changed.

While Kelley looks decent, I'd like to see him get a little lower on his drops/backpedal. Seems a little stiff in the hips, but then again he is a 6'1-2'' FCS safety. Like Kermit already pointed out, he reminds a lot of Chris Board. On one of his highlights/picks, he got badly turned around by a simple in-breaking route. He still made the play but in the FCS that's a first down completion 9 times out of 10. I didn't watch the entire highlight reel because it's...well...a highlight reel. With that said, I obviously trust the evaluation process by our coaches. Seems like a thumper and good fighting off blocks at the point of attack in the run game. Definitely like that he's a long athlete as well.

Just my quick amateur 0.02.

Disappointment? Are you talking about losing kids lately to FBS Buffalo and Arkansas State? Everyone wanted them, as we felt they were difference makers that we recruited for a LONG time, we didn't have a 6 day relationship like Arkansas State did, but those difference makers came from positions we are LOADED AT! I mean loaded. Do you realize who we redshirted at DE and are READY to play next year? How about the O line. The O line already has committed 4 scholarships in this class. THe DE is full on scholarship money, those kids would have been icing on the cake. without being rude, I hope people dig in on the kids we have coming. We have never won so many recruiting battles. Our success has caused our camp to explode. These kids want to come to our camp, and we are getting kids earlier and earlier. I think people are only remember the last couple of weeks, and not the crazy success we have had early. Guys always wanted a taller receiver? Well, how about Sean Engel. Offers from Bucknell, Cornell, UNI, USD, SDSU, SIU, Wyoming, Western Illinois. 6'5 and going to play right away. Jabril Cox with a ton of offers, etc. This is a small class, small # of seniors and we loaded up. Very excited about this class. We are fortunate that when we lost WBK to Arkansas State, it was at a position of strength, not need.

I'm not dissapointed with the current verbals. I'm dissapointed from a spoiled fan perspective that watched the past two seasons beat two B10 schools as well as Pitt straight up for guys as well as a handful of G5 schools. This year it didn't happen (was there anyone other than WY?) and I clicked on here a number of times only to see guys I was really excited to see play here flip schools. The difference is, the past two years I loved clicking verbal names and the recruiting thread to see the next interesting Q&A or next big get whereas this year I clicked on the same with more trepidation and more of a "crud what now" feeling. Probably an overreaction on my part and I am excited about the guys verballed, a few in particular. I'm not going to share why though until after signing day

One thing I have been curious about if anyone that knows cares to answer: what is the desire of this incoming class in regards to playing right away if they are able vs redshirting. I ask because whoever redshirts gets to play Oregon in 2020. Does that factor into a guy that could play this year preferring to opt out even if they could?

Reynolds commits to SEMO. Leaves us with Koonce.

Does anybody actually expect Harbaugh to stick around Michigan long enough to see his recruits actually play?

I expect he'll retire there

I expect he'll retire there

I bet he wears out his welcome
