SHREK !!!!
Wahoo! Detailed Beaver coverage!!!!!1
At the end Brian said Jason Forcier instead of Tate Forcier.. Mistake!!!!
Maybe Brian was too busy looking at the Maria M pics to care about Forcier family given names.
TATE Forcier, Brian, not Jason. As in Tate Forcier and the Tight WRs, a band of high school football players that also solve crimes and sing hit songs
TCU fans = pissed as all hell
I thought it was Tits Forcier.
"I'm scared shitless about our recruiting efforts up to this point. tOoSU is piling up recruits and we're sitting pat on running backs and shit. Where are our QB's... wait, what's that? We just signed a QB named Beaver? Holy Tap Dancing Jesus Fucking Christ we're all saved. Rejoice! Rejoice!"
Signed
-All the people freaking out 3 weeks ago
still no post from Brian on boren transfering
I think the no Bor-infant post is for a reason. Fuck that guy. I'm working a 10 hour day, I'm going to be saying fuck a lot.
The Borens still haven't scheduled a moving truck to transport his gut and his hot pockets back to C'bus
still no post from Brian on boren transfering

and there wont be one..that situation is over
word from the forciers is that we're willing to take 3 qbs and he's the guy at the top of the list for no. 3.
Never happen.
Wow.. a fan of TCU's argument to why Beaver should have went there:
"To the best of my knowledge TCU has not lost to Appalation State."
I'M GLAD THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED ON JASON FORCEIR BUT TATE CAN STILL COME TO ANN ARBOR.
Appy State will haunt you FOREVER....
I'm going to UCLA.
Ummm ... guys .... I'm white ..... so apparently .. I won't be your new QB...
From what I saw at the Elite 11, Beaver looks to be seriously muscular in the legs though he looks thin in his upper body. Someone correct me if they have seen him in person or in the shower.
Btw, I like the pick up. I think he is just another under the radar sleeper that will shine when given the chance.
"To the best of my knowledge TCU has not lost to Appalation State."
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
AHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
AHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
What an idiot. A funny, funny idiot, but an idiot nontheless.
a couple of thoughts.. anyone else think we'll see Newsome & Beaver on the field at the same time? i bet RR comes up with something for both of them. and also, i love that we are getting dual-threat QB's but w/ all the RBs and slot/split WR's we will be having out on the field is it even necessary to have a dual-threat QB? it seems like a pro-style QB could easily get the ball to whoever since they are so many damn athletes on the field. but anyways, i love that we got these guys.
Hard to call a 4* top-250 QB an "under the radar sleeper"
I've seen him in the shower and all I can say is yummy!

that is correct, im sure however that if they played that would change
meh...the Appy State game will one day be seen as the enema that flushed our great program of the old stale regime and ushered in the upcoming 20-year SPLENDOR of the RichRod Era.
so yeah. remembered, but not haunted.
They do have SOME rational fans though..
"I agree I don't think Shavodrick really understands the cold he's dealing with...but its Michigan...name alone is gonna be nearly impossible for TCU to beat."
LJ, by the looks of who offered, his rating/ranking hasn't yet taken affect.
App State has LSU this year ... if only ...... man, would that be fucking awesome.
120 people online? 20 minutes ago it was like 60. Is there some "New Post Batsignal" I don't know about?
But, then, I'm sure there'sd be some sort of SEC rationalization: "They beat you first", "down year in the SEC", "lost too much talent to the NFL", etc,etc, etc.
I want sum o that shit Scalz1 be smokin.....
Guys,
Please give me your thought on this. But in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Harry Potter movies, did anyone notice that the new Dumbledore sucks?
I mean, he is not really tough, kind of a bad actor, and not really compassionate towards Harry or Hermione.
This detracts from Rowlings portrayal of Albus in the books greatly.
I'm a bit hurt by this.
Dumbledore sucks...as do you fucknuts.
Did Dumbledore wear a sweater vest?
LOL .. the only thing I smoke is fools in Call of Duty 4.
Actually, I was buckeyechamp.
haha
Did someone actually complain about having too many athletes on the field?
All I know is that the chick is legal and worth $20 million.
beantown -
I doubt it. If both are in the backfield, one of them will have to pass block. That would be an exercise in futility by a quarterback.
WTF
talk about football.
Time for RichRod to focus on some DEFENSIVE PLAYERS. This is where he should model Tressel, who already has loads of talent on D.
they can both run though, one passes to the other and then they repeatedly lateral back to each other for an easy 95yd score
I think the speculation on having 2 QBs in the backfield needs to end right now, it sounds asinine. though it could make for some cool gimmick plays.
I agree with you completely Hank Hill.
All that I know is that RR wants to make sure he doesn't end up having the problem of having only one QB to run the offense like he had last year as well as Oregon. You don't want your starter getting injured only to find you have no one capable of running things.
Toney Clemons SHOULD be a great WR, based on what I've seen. Let's see if RR gets him the rock.
And for what it's worth, I've never seen a Harry Potter movie, but I'd gladly be "creepy old guy" and date someone 16 years younger if she's worth $20 mill.
Is anyone here excited about the Red Wings vs Stars matchup?
I sure as hell ain't.
Penguins vs Red Wings would be even worse.
And yes, I have no shame.
Defense?? You mean they play defense in the Big 10? Shit I'm screwed. Hey Beaver, I meant cornerback, not quarterback.
H4H--that discussion ends immediately.
yes it does.
I'd rather have a killer D over a killer O any day.
Fortunatley I think we've hired two insane genuises in R2 and Shafer, so we should have both.
Beaver lines up in a wide open spread position and makes a quick toss to Mike Cox who busts thru a gaping hole created by the tight end.
Hahahahahaha....
lets see what we have learned about wvu since: dirty gov got his daughter a fake degree"same gov heavily involved in wvu ad" , racist coach" stewart was forced to resign from his last job for making a racial slur", and wvu education dept is shady and corrupt " handing out fake degrees"
"I'd rather have a killer D over a killer O any day."
See: 1997
yes but griese will live in infamy
im pumped for a wings v. stars matchup. old rivalry would bring good numbers. wings v. pen.'s would be about the best cup matchup there could be. anything to fill the seats at the joe...lookin a little bare...
"yes but griese will live in infamy"
For being drunk and tripping over his own dog.
that's neither here nor there
I wasn't drunk and it was the dog's fault.
So then where is it?
I've been getting handle jacked a lot recently. This is my first post in this thread.
Wings/anyone in the east WOULD (key word!!!!) be a great matchup for the NHL. Fuck California hockey.
Hey !!! I've finally made the big time. I've been handle jacked. Suh - weet !!
easy jack mfing johnson is out here
BGH
How do we know that this is really the real BGH?
How come there is no highlight video of the Beaver? I thought all top prospects had them.
You might not know if it's the real BGH or not. For instance, this is really Ninja proving a point. Duh-duh-dunnnn.
@ludachris
there is a video of him up on rivals
There's free video of Beaver over at Rivals. Not much, but 4-5 minutes worth I think. I was confused by the statement that there was only the 2 pt conversion vid.

On a serious note, we need O Lineman and DE's. Is Michigan leading for any top O Lineman or DE's that might commit soon?
Not a lot out there yet on OL and DE's, unfortunately.
Does everyone suggesting some sort of routine double QB backfield understand that to have an extra QB on the field we need one less receiver or running back that can actually block, and that having both out there is basically asking for them to both get hurt? Just wondering.
Dude, there's tons of free beaver video on the internet. That's what the fuckin internet was made for.
That is a little scary. I think we have filled our top need, now we need some good DE's and a few O lineman.
UOS seems to be focusing on defense this year. I guess they can since everyone except Gholston returns on defense this year, plus they did really well with offense last year.
Is that possibly what RR is doing--focusing on offense this year and focusing more on recruiting defense next year? I personally doubt it because Michigan needs rebuilding at certain positions. It's quite a different situation from that of UOS.
I think we have a ton of RB's and Slot guys that we don't need another QB on the field. Let's let Carlos "Santana" Brown throw the rock on a trick play.
CAUP, your description of the App. State game as a needed enema is dead on. Every program needs a high colonic from time to time. PSU and FSU are in dire need right now. If they're smart they'll administer a coffee-halapeno solution.
I think it's just a matter of time before we get a DE. I smell it in the air. Or is that the overwhelming stench of a shavodrick'ed beaver? I can't tell.
i think now that he's got the QB situation taken care of, and a few additional RB/WR recruits, he will shift his focus to OL and defense
Everyone needs to remain calm. There is no need for panic. I have a master plan in place. Trust me.
People I wanna see commit -
-Marcus Hall (never in a million years though)
-Chris Freeman (has a bunch of teammates in the 08 class)
-Any DE w/ a pulse
-Bryce McNeal (we need as many WRs as possible)
-Some southern DB with a cool name
There is a Pakistani on North Campus? Is this allowed?
As much as everybody likes to bag on Lloyd Carr and thinks RR will be 20x better then him, just think of some of the things that would have happened if Lloyd didn't retire.
-Arrington said he would have stayed.
-5* Dorian Bell and 4* Corey Brown would have committed to us. (Bell committed to OSU and we're still in Brown's top 5)
-Utah would be our MWC version of Appy State
Just some things to think of..
I like what Rich Rod has done so far with recruiting. Am pretty sick of the Detroit News media's circus-like attitude surrounding his legal affair with WVU. Angelique has been reassigned to covering Nascar. Fantasize about ass-clown Sharp getting locked into a weight room with Barwis (minus the garbage pails)
I hope the fans will be patient through next season--it could be a rough transition year. The kids RR is recruiting are buying into his system, it seems. Innovative/explosive offense coupled with playing in the nation's largest stadium trumps idiotic notions that kids only want to play where it is warm.
I have no doubt of our ability to compete well with OSU in the years to come for the Big Ten title. Praise be to Barwis--better, stronger, faster!!!
(Good riddance Boren.)
Uh, correction. Second largest stadium.
People complain Rich Rod doesn't have any recruits when he starts.
Solution: A grab bag of well regarded prospects sign with us on Signing Day
People complain Rich isn't signing keeping up with other schools in recruiting for 2009
Solution: Touisisssiant and Tetris and Isiah commit
People complain that even though we have started recruiting we don't have a QB
Solution: Newsome and Beaver commit within days of each other
See where I'm going with this? Rich Rod, might, maybe, just a bit, know he needs lineman. It's a hunch.
Two good videos on Sha... B.. :
http://michigan.rivals.com/viewp...=1&
pr_key=69828
...can anybody ever recall a time were Michigan got two highly quality qb's in one week? What a ride this week has been! GO BLUE,BABY!
...spot on dex. The next "Look,the sky is falling" alert will be the the lack of O & D lineman...go figure!
i like him, he looks good...
but there were a bunch of tunnel screens that he threw in that highlight.....
he looks to have a good arm though, him and newsome
You know who runs an offense with two qb's on the field at once?
Me, in my 7 on 7 5-8 grade co-ed after school flag football team at the Boys & Girls club.
I actually do run this and I have adopted the spread out of it. We will dominate the pussies from the Lynden Club on Friday, mark my words.
RR will never run it, if he does, it means that I had the idea first and am an offensive genious.
What's wrong with Michigan?
Every year Ohio high school football produces super prospects, whereas we produce jack.
It's changing a bit tho
Uh, don't look now, but we have no DE recruits signed, and the sky is falling.
In Ohio, there is a much larger emphasis on HS football than ANY other sport. MI and IN usually produce way better basketball talent. Also, Ohio has a larger population so its natural that the raw number of prospects coming from Ohio will be greater than Michigan.
we should focus on football then. forget basketball.
A few quick point for the paranoid annoying UM fans out there. I've read a lot of comments on multiple sites and that's where this comes from.
-Stop bitching, just stop.
-You don't know who will be better, Newsome or Beaver. You don't have a fucking clue.
-Don't bitch about how forcier would be the Tebow and Newsome be Leak or any shit like that. There not comparable.
-Don't say "Beaver won't even sniff the field until his sr. year" how the fuck do you know?
-Stop bitching about any recruiting at this point. I'm pretty sure RR has more experience and expertise than your country bumpkin ass.
-Stop bitching about recruiting until signing day.
I don't mind speculation and comparison of one kid to another but don't make negative definitive statements that you have no evidence about in regards to 17 & 18 yr olds. It's annoying and creepy.
I don't think there is some sort of MHSAA directive on where to focus talent and coaching in regards to creating college prospects, just like I'm sure the Ohio equivalent isn't sending out memos reminding schools to focus on football, so really I'm not at all sure what the point of that discussion is.
@ Keegan
Attaboy. You tell 'em. The whining needs to end NOW.
to my knowledge App St. had more players drafted than TCU. Just sayin.
It probably boils down to there being very few states in the Union more fucked up then Michigan. Just throw high school football into the mix of Michigan fucked up ness.
What is this? UM fans whining and bitching. I don't believe what I'm reading. BTW, you can start the play clock now. Ha ha.
I'm bored.
Whomever said that RR may have a plan, and detailed that plan is genius, and I've been saying that for over 5 years now.
First: Make WVU a winner
2nd: Turn down Alabama
3rd: Take Michigan job, and then BUTT RAM JIM TRIFLE INTO NEXT THURSDAY
4th: Win 18 national championships at Michigan
5th: Donate 247 Million to Michigan to build the Rich Rodriguez Center for BUTT RAMMING OHIO STATE INTO NEXT TUESDAY
6th: hook up with Miley Ray Cyrus and retire in Spain
6th: Remember to turn off BOLD
You U of M idiots are too dumb and liberals.
We spartans have class and love and Sereal.
my name is my name.
Draft 9 QB's and platoon them on the OL. God I'm a genious. No one will be able to stop us.
Dex: I'm not talking about an institutional directive from, let's say OHSAA or MHSAA. I'm just saying that HS football in Ohio exceeds the popularity of any other sport and more kids play it. Subsequently, more schools spend more money on their programs which, unsurprisingly, produces more and better polished prospets.
That's all.
I know what you were saying, bgh, I was responding to the comment "we should focus on football then, fuck basketball" from Henne.
I'M BBBBB-BATTTT SSSS-SHIT CRAZY!!!!
You guys may think my patented Rich Rodriguez 18 Year Success Strategy sounds crazy, but you've got to remember that in 19 years, Miley Cyrus will only be about 40, maybe not even. And Rodriguez will be 63. Think about it.
Ah, gotcha.
One sport i think all schools should not focus on is wrasslin'. No offense, but the world needs less cauliflower ear.
Every year I try to get the MHSAA to adopt WWE rules for High School wrestling but they never let me in the meetings.
reasons why michgan highschool football isnt as good as it could be..
a shorter offseason period and actuall season which means less time playing and practicing football...
coaching pay is not to par with ohio and other places....
school systems empahsis football more in the "football" states, offering advanced pe football, and football specific classes to help develop football players,
typically football is seen as a "way out" for many rural kids in the south and in rural areas of penn and ohio, and that tradition continues...
High school football has become big buisness over the years in towns accross the south (and yes southern ohio is the south) and kids grow up dreaming about playing for their local highschools in some places more so then playing in college...
gsimmons:
I would agree with your assessment. For example, in Cincinnati, we have two major private schools which actively recruit and one public school which recruits locally as well. A couple years ago, the big time public school - Colerain - actually rented a helicopter to hover above the field so as to dry it off.
The thing that would prevent Michigan form duplicating Ohio High School Football is the same thing that affects Michigan in just about every other aspect: No vision, and when there is vision, there is corruption.
I have a vision for Detroit.
Dammit, you just beat me to posting that. I couldn't find his name.
We need help on the O/D Line...
*waits for recruits to commit*
COME ON IT WORKED FOR EVERYTHING ELSE!
lol
If you want to be slick, you gotta be quick. That's just how I roll.
Just because Michigan got Beaver, don't think they're going to forget about Tits. Michigan still loves Tits.
Tits is expected to come out this summer and will be welcomed with open arms.

Hell no we're not allowed on North Campus. It's out of fear that we get jobs in the nuclear engineering department and "empart" some of our education to those in the motherland or that some kind of ethnic clash will take place between Indians and Pakistanis.
North Campus was a powder keg...it was tough avoiding the Neo-Militant-Mao-Talibani Death Squads while walking from Willow Tree to the EECS building each day.
Can we stop calling him tits? Because we have a player whose last name is "Beaver", and his first name starts with "T"?
Don't bitch about how forcier would be the Tebow and Newsome be Leak or any shit like that. There not comparable.

Two of the top 10 picks in the recent NFL draft were product of the Michigan high school system. (Long, Gholston)
bgh-
Not sure if you kidding about "rasslin" but the best HS F-ball players in OH usually "rassle" in the off season (esp OL & DL guys) Rasslin programs are the most intense conditioning of all HS programs and if the kids stay in shape in summer they come into fall ready to rock. If coach doesn't have to work on conditioning in the fall, they can start on playbook right away.

Brian,
Can you write a post explaining the BCS decision to not go with a tournament format? It seems like people all over the country are upset with the current, almost-completely arbitrary method of determining who goes to the national championship game.

Are you trying to say that winning a playoff doesn't mean you were the best team?

How the St Louis Cardinals think they would have won the world series in a one game elimination tournament is humorous.

Theseats.com actually provides a great recap of the 2007 Rose Bowl:
The 2008 Rose Bowl was a great game as both teams competed with hard work and determination. The Rose Bowl was held at Pasadena, California that featured two magnificent teams composed of the University of Southern California Trojans and University of Michigan’s Wolverines. The Michigan Wolverines had a hard time during the 2007 Rose Bowl. The University of Southern California Trojans used a variety of offenses, basically on first down, to put Michigan Wolverines in second-and-long and third-and-long situations. In addition to this, the offenses also caused two big second half turnovers.
The Rose Bowl of 2007 was full of excitement as players like Brian Cushing, Dwayne Jarrett as well as John Booty showed outstanding performances. The Rose Bowl tickets also had successful record of sales as the Rose Bowl fans and supporters waited for the grand event. One of the Rose Bowl event highlights was Dwayne Jarrett’s performance as he out jumped a pair of Michigan Wolverines defenders for a 29-yard gain midway through the fourth quarter. Furthermore, after a few plays, John Booty threw his fourth touchdown pass to Steve Smith, who finished with seven catches for 108 yards. The thrilling Rose Bowl made the University of Southern California Trojans took control during the early third quarter when, after three straight handoffs to Mike Hart, the Michigan Wolverines tried a screen pass that Chad Henne threw into a crowd, only to see it land in the hands of Lawrence Jackson. The previous season of the Rose Bowl ended with a 32-18 victory of the University of Southern California Trojans over the Michigan Wolverines.
Though the University of Southern California Trojans was quite frustrated because they fail to pursue their third straight BCS title game due to an uncharacteristically flat effort against the University of California, Los Angeles; the Rose Bowl of 2007 gave them much inspiration to go further and strive for more. Both teams of the University of Southern California Trojans as well as the Michigan Wolverines had an excellent time of spending it as a qualifying team in the Rose Bowl event.
The Rose Bowl was indeed one of the great events in the history of college football. The Rose Bowl tickets will surely continue to sell out as college football team fans eagerly wait for the much celebrated event.
The Rose Bowl tickets will provide a great sports viewing experience and a quality entertainment for young and old alike. The next season of Rose Bowl will give you another fun, exciting, entertaining, outstanding and excellent game. Grab some Rose Bowl tickets today and don’t miss the great event of Rose Bowl.
The Rose Bowl is called the "Grandaddy" of all the Bowl games. It is perhaps the most anticipated college football game ever.
There was no celebrating a traditional matchup in the Rose Bowl — at least by the participants. Those associated with the game are
There was no celebrating a traditional matchup in the Rose Bowl — at least by the participants. Those associated with the game are overjoyed. Southern California and Michigan will meet New Year‘s Day in the granddaddy of ‘em all, with each playing in the game for the third time in four years.
"I have to say that along the way, we had some doubts as to whether we were going to be able to achieve that. We‘re very excited about having these good friends back in the game," Dorger said, pointing out that USC and Michigan ranked 1-2 in Rose Bowl appearances.
USC and Michigan had their chances. The Trojans (10-2) entered the weekend with the inside track, but a 13-9 loss to crosstown rival UCLA on Saturday knocked them out.
In the Associated Press poll, which is not used in the BCS standings, Florida also passed Michigan, moving into second but held just a three-point advantage. USC fell from second to eighth. The Wolverines were third and the Trojans fifth in the BCS standings.
"I don‘t know exactly what the voters were thinking. You‘d have to ask them."
But, he added, there‘s no way he could feel anything negative about playing in the Rose Bowl, even if he didn‘t agree with the way it came about.
USC will oppose Michigan in the Rose Bowl for the eighth time. The Trojans have a 5-2 record against the Wolverines in the game including a 28-14 triumph three years ago, when they were bypassed for the BCS title game but won a piece of the national championship.
Carr said his players were OK, but disappointed, when he gave them the news.
Trojans coach Pete Carroll has said from the time he became USC‘s coach following the 2000 season that the team‘s No. 1 goal every year is to win the Pac-10 title and play in the Rose Bowl.
Carroll said he understood how Carr felt since USC was bypassed for the national championship game three years ago despite being ranked No. 1 in the human polls.
The BCS system has been tweaked since that time.
"I know it‘s challenging to have to live with the results of it," Carroll said. "I admire his respect for this game and this matchup.
"They‘re loaded, they‘ve had a great season. They came up a couple points short of winning their conference championship."
USC has played in 30 previous Rose Bowl games, going 21-9, while Michigan has played in 19, going 8-11. The Wolverines beat Stanford 49-0 on Jan. 1, 1902 in the first Rose Bowl.
The Rose Bowl contracted with the Big Ten and Pac-10 before the 1947 game. Representatives of those conferences played from that time until the 2002 game, when Miami beat Nebraska to win the national championship.
I'm sure that it was a dusky experience was for all present.
The one good thing about the BCS is that it never fails to furnish us with controversy. You know, the stuff we bitch about with our co-workers or on blog message boards...
It's not an ideal system. But it's an endearing form of inefficieny and inequality. No?
No.
PS- we have no DE's and THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!
Maybe some DE's will fall down with the sky...

Didn't Barwis mention something about a tornado???
bgh
The only explanation for that last comment would be that there are high concentrations of crystal meth in the drinking water down in Cincy.
There is one thing that toilet paper has that neither beaver nor newsome does. what you ask?
They both lack top-end stupidity.
We can NEVER beat fO$U is the departments of stupidity, thuggery, cheating and uselessness.
Dude.
I don't know if anyone mentioned this so I thought I would throw it out there. I don't think that Beaver can play at the D1 level if he can't convert that two point conversion. I mean, there's no way he can hang in the B10 if he can't finish plays.
I'm not saying anything...I'm just saying.
big stuff happening down here. Should be on the news wire in an hour or two. Tressel caught in a sex sting with a Puerto Rican tranny, Katzenmoyer and a greased-up woodchuck.
Shit is seriously hitting the fan. We're toast.
I thought he would like the Cuban women more. That's my surprise for the day.
I wanna be an achiever.
man.
How's our shot with Gabe Lynn? He's a 4* DB who's one hell of a returner.

Plus, ESPN thinks that he will be moved to safety.
who the fuck cares? Fall can't come fast enough. Life's too important to worry aout 17 year olds.
This is probably old news, but Bryce McNeal??:

Yeah its time for him to just step up and pull the trigger
That's old news? If that's really Bryce McNeal's web page and it recent, then I would be shocked if he doesn't commit before the weekend.
It looks like McGuffie's Myspace page just before he pulled the trigger.
MCNEAL IS A STUD!!i guess he can see that even our worst recievers get drafted!
ehhumm arington
GBW says Craig Loston to Clemson. Isn't Holloman considering Clemson and UM?
Isnt Holloman pretty recent to michigan's offer list? is he really considering making a choice this soon?
Loston to Clemson? Tommy Bowden must have some powerful snake oil to keep getting these top recruits. Who wouldn't want to finish right around 3rd in the ACC every season?
what's the thought on scout rankings versus rivals? asking because mcneal is rated a 3 star in scout and a 4 star, top 100 in rivals.
video of the guy looks great, but does scout just tend to grade harder?
Harder to get into the top 100?
actually i believe at the end of the year usually scout ends up with a lot more 5 stars than rivals...rivals is actually pretty selective w/ their 5-stars and other higher rankings. Personally I like Rivals' rankings more, but they're usually not that far off of each other for most prospects anyway.
And when I say I like their rankings, I mean I trust them more and believe that they're more accurate than scout. But anyway, it's all subjective but thats just how I see it.
@kgh10
thx!
I agree with what KGH said - Scout seems to have more 5*s than Rivals.
IIRC Mcguffie and Boo-Boo were both 5* on scout but 4* on Rivals.
Personally, I like scout better, but thats just me.
People complain Rich Rod doesn't have any recruits when he starts.
Solution: A grab bag of well regarded prospects sign with us on Signing Day
People complain Rich isn't signing keeping up with other schools in recruiting for 2009
Solution: Touisisssiant and Tetris and Isiah commit
People complain that even though we have started recruiting we don't have a QB
Solution: Newsome and Beaver commit within days of each other
See where I'm going with this? Rich Rod, might, maybe, just a bit, know he needs lineman. It's a hunch.
