Breck???
Cake-eater.
Any post at this hour is awesome. Brian= Peanut Butter Jelly Time.
suweeet!
Very Nice to have some info to read at this hour...is this actually official though?
Awesome.
Another excellent get!
OL-DL-DE exclusively from now on!
a few more DB's might not hurt either
WETBALLS!!! sorry, just had to...
Holy Crap I can't believe I'm still awake.
At least it was worth it.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sounds like a great pickup. Now for some defensive recruits...
Pete Fiutak at CFN (yeah I know everybody hates him) has a ranking of the best players for the '08 season who will get lots of looks going into the '09 draft. Not much love for Michigan— nobody in the top 125, and only three overall, way down the list: Jamison, TT, and Trent.
This is just scary. Look at year's past and the dates of commits vs. this year. We could have this class filled out by the start of the season.
Craig Loston is going to Clemson, he is the #1 S in the country. This will really help with the kid Holloman, who know really likes us, and was condidering Clemson. He's not the #1 safety, but he is #2. I would take that.
Ikn-
Better watch out Tiller will be offering to all of'em
Precious! What a roll!!! What's next!?! Hopefully, RR can get deadly DE and SUPER-STUD OL. We need to keep up with this early attack, in order to maintain against gay ass OSU. But i have to say we're step by step with them in not sitting notch above. This is great...strickly loadin' pistols! Can i get a Mcguff4heisman this early in the mornin'? Hail to the Champions of the West...ye ol' leaders and best!
Can't we land another player who's surname is slang for a sexual organ ?
Dammit !!
Gents, the grab at the 1:22 mark is strickly gangster shit...reminds me of J.Avant's jedi circus grab. WTF? WARLORDS UNITE!
tim brewster sure can recruit.
who was mcneals qb in high school....he looks pretty sick
18!
also mcneal cant pronounce rodriguez....good stuff
"Scout is considerably less enthused, giving him three stars and ranking him #40 positionally."
--------
scout has him 4 stars and 15 positionally
I went to bed at 10 and this is the great news that I wake up to. I am going to bed early from now until August.
It was late, I think we can allow for mistakes on this one.
Looks to be a bit premature on the McNeal commit.
Yeah, I'm not ready to believe 100% yet... Brian's usually right, but Scout and Rivals are usually right on this stuff, and I don't see anything on either of those sites.
I'm definitely hoping he's right, though.
Then again, Scout has Shavodrick Beaver listed as the #43 wide receiver (that rhymes)...
Well a Beaver usually is a wide receiver
Zing!
DickRod is 28-24 without Pat White.
Great coaches don't rely on one player to be great.
The Vest has won with different styles at QB.
The next couple years before DickRod gets fired and exposed should be lots of fun!
from Josh Helmholdt on Rivals
"I talked with Bryce on Sunday. I have kept in contact with him via text since. There is no commitment forthcoming. This is a bunch of people getting excited about his MySpace page and creating something that isn't. When, if something happens I'll let you know.
Is Michigan looking good? Duh. But he has been very clear about a timeline and still is sticking to it. Mom has to get on campus first before a commitment is made. Stop reading these MySpace pages. They are taking you down a path you do not want to go. I know why his page looks like that, was not surprised to see it. Does not mean he committed however."
Think it's a bit premature. From everything I've seen he hasn't committed yet.
DickRod is 28-24 without Pat White.
WVU before pat white, SS == EMU.
i would assume the myspace page means he received an offer from michigan and obvs has M at teh top right now.
Am thinking that scout and rivals will be looking for some payback for the Carr retirement scoop.
Whatever. If he hasn't committed already, Michigan is clearly in the catbird seat and unless RR exposes himself to Mrs. McNeal, he'll commit at some point.
In related news, I am not 80, despite my use of the phrase "catbird seat."
Agree. A MySpace page may mean nothing, likely means M is his favorite, but until he makes it official it means nothing.
LOL @ Scout getting scooped:
"(**MORE**) Minn. wide receiver Bryce McNeal (Scout.com's #275 Jr.) visited U-M for a spring practice back in March with his dad. Suddenly, however, there are rumors circulating that things have gotten very "Blue" for him ... what's going on? Unlike bloggers, the press has to be responsible for what it prints -- so we went to the source!"
DickRod is 28-24 without Pat White.
Great coaches don't rely on one player to be great.

FearTheVest | 05.01.08 - 9:18 am
that would be relevant if some of those games came after PW was on the team. it's not because those are RR's first 4 years at WVU including a 3-8 first season. his second year they went 9-4. idiotic buckeyes.
I think that blogger comment was aimed solely at Brian.
That's messed up.
When you get payed to blog, you are subject to scrutiny.
Get over it.
You also get payed to spell correctly. Apparently, GBW hasn't received that memo either.
What's "payed"?
Arguments about journalistic intergrity, ala Brian vs. The MSM in the Carr debate, and ethical standards, ala Deadspin vs. Bissinger, are the worst parts of the blogosphere.
The Facts, actually, are that since we live in the United States, you can write basically anything you want and I don't give a shit if Brian posts something about a HS football player that hasn't been vetted by nine outside sources. This isn't fucking Watergate, it's college football recruiting.
@MRG,
Grandpa? Is that you?
What exactly is "catbird seat"?
The catbird seat" is an idiomatic phrase used to describe an enviable position, often in terms of having the upper hand or greater advantage in all types of dealings among parties.
The fact that I know how to use the ebays proves that I am not 80. Now, where's my Reader's Digest?
BSD has the bob costas deadspin thing, it's on youtube. pretty brutal.
Actually, the fact is you can hide behind the "im just a blogger on the internets" argument while getting paid like an actual job... and then use it to act righteously indignant "it's for the pplz lol"
Regardless of what Brian's ethical duties are (and I don't really care what they are or aren't), this story should be taken down. He didn't commit.
Really, though...if our news sources relied on Myspace backgrounds for their info, that would be pretty ridiculous.
Like I said, I'm hoping he becomes a Wolverine, but...
Scout must have revised their rankings overnight. Teric Jones gets four stars now, and Toussaint gets three.
Newsome is now a five-star
McNeal had a star added and is now a 4-star.
Same players... more stars. Do you get the feeling that the star system is reactive to offers? (that was rhetorical).
The Facts are that in our system I don't fault anyone who gets paid doing something they enjoy. I don't understand your holier than thou point, The Facts. Brian provides a service. People enjoy this service. By supplying his service, he is feeding the demand for his service, and is compensated by someone for that. This isn't a hard concept.
Do you write angry letters to Access Hollywood about not being responsible journalists?
Are there rules to blogging? I must've missed that.
Nowhere does Brian suggest that everything he puts on here is 100% accurate 100% of the time.
Plus I'm not sure where Brian said he actually committed...he referenced his myspace page changing, and he referenced others who said they texted him and he said he committed.
The header is "Bryce McNeal to Michigan", not "Bryce McNeal COMMITS to Michigan"....maybe he just meant that McNeal was coming in for a nice visit??
I fucking hate people.
On one hand, you all come to this site to get a deeper insight to the program than the MSM will offer (I refuse to call sites like Scout and Rivals, with their horrendous records, "Main-stream Media" - they're glossy rumor sites).
On the other hand, Brian actually, you know, POSTS shit that you won't find in the MSM, and people start hand-wringing about his ethical/journalistic responsibilities?
I don't want to rehash the insane Buzz Bissinger (who I actually really like as a writer) vs. Will Leitch fight, but 95% of what exists in blogs are rumors, and noted as such, or opinion. If you expect more than that, you don't understand what you're reading.
From the blog ethics:
If rumors I report as likely to be true in fact turn out to be false, I will create a new post and tell you that explicitly. Hopefully that doesn't happen at anything approaching "often" but it'll probably happen once in a blue moon. Remember, I am not a journalist. I don't feel I'm doing readers a service by holding off on something I believe to be 99% likely based on internet scuttlebutt. This allows me to post on things earlier than the MSM and the Scout/Rivals sites about things like Jake Long's ankle injury or Mike Brown signing with the Canucks. The tradeoff is that I could be wrong, and that erodes the trust I've built up by not being wrong. It's a fine line. I will always identify unverified voracity to be what it is, though. No bold pronouncements of truth when I don't know something to be 100% true. You'll get "probably" and "likely."
http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2006...of-
mgoblog.html
Probably could have been couched in more "probably" and "likely" terms. And apparently this wasn't solely based on MySpace, but with additional information from readers that made direct contact with McNeal. Maybe these readers failed to articulate the situation properly. Still, I don't understand the indignation.
@ Afrocalypse
This is about as close to saying he committed as you can get without using a form of the word "commit":
"The larger picture: McNeal is the first outside receiver in this class and will probably be joined by another guy at his position (Texas's Josh Gordon?) and one or two more slot guys depending on where Teric Jones ends up. He's Michigan's fourth Rivals 100 recruit this year."
Blue in PA:
I agree that the star rating systems could be influenced by the offers extended to recruits.
I've got to believe that coaches who have been around football for decades know more about scouting talent than some dudes that have been running recruiting websites for a few years.
I did not mean to suggest these posts need to be 100% accurate and true... that is not blogging.
I was responding to the earlier post suggesting that snarky comments made by rivals or scouts are messed up. Blogging is not journalism, so don't hide behind the regular joe blogging argument to act all offended.
Dex is right: Brian writes things. He is paid to write things because a large enough number of people frequent the site to read the things he writes. If you don't like/enjoy/approve of the things he writes, don't frequent the site - his hits, and, consequently, his pay, will drop. Nearly all of what he writes is opinion, with the hap-hazard passing on of a rumor. He is not, nor does he purport to be, the New York Times. If you want to hold him to the same level of "journalistic credibility", you don't understand what you're reading, and should probably read this:

FearTheVest | 05.01.08 - 9:18 am | #
I love how Bukkakeyes don't know how to add. RR went 80-26 at WVU. He didn't lose just 2 games with Pat White; otherwise WVU would have won an MNC by now.
And OMG, he won with two great players on offense who were only rated 3* each when they were recruited. So he made good use of players who weren't even highly regarded. So that means that he really is a bad coach but we just don't know it? Does that mean that Pete Carroll is a bad coach because he really just has talented players doing all the work for him? Or what about your boy Tressel?
Worst argument ever.
bluewolverine,
I agree and think that, if D-1 coaches love a kid, it means he is good. However, doesn't this artificially reproduce the team rankings every year? For example, "USC is a great program (i.e. they get a top recruiting class every year). If a kid is being recruited by USC they must be really good (give them 4/5 stars)." At the end of the recruiting period, OF COURSE USC has a top class... it is self-fulfilling. It is good by virtue of being USC's. Michigan has benefited from this, too. It seems inherently circular to me.
Brian is paid in units of joy from providing needy Michigan fans with the info that they crave.
If you run a website, companies sometimes will pay money to put ads on your website.
This website has ads.
Ergo, Brian gets paid.
(That's very simplified, but you get the gist.)
It would be wrong to suggest that Brian should take this post down. It's not derogatory or demeaning, so there are no legal ramifications for spreading rumors.
The ramification will be that if he puts too much wrong information out there, then he will probably lose readership and/or credibility.
That being said, I don't think it's wrong that people question his information on this board. Just as he is free to spread rumors, we are free to question them.
And if the companies that place the ads are horrified that Brian reported McNeal is committing a few weeks too early, they will withdraw the ads and Brian will be unpaid.
Somehow, I don't think that's going to happen, unles JS-Kit is owned by Tom Beaver's brother.
sblue, Tim Waymen:
Brian is pretty up-front about the fact that this and AOL Fanhouse are his full-time job. AOL pays him, I imagine, per post, and a share of ad revenue generated by people reading his posts. This site, by virtue of having advertising, generates revenue.
but is it based solely on traffic? or does he have certain deals that provide him with meaningful income? sorry it just seems like you can't make a living on just one blog ads without a little help...
SIAP: But the Rivals moderators are adamant that he has not committed and will not until August.
I was going to be critical of the wording of the blog entry - it would have been improper to flat-out say that the kid "committed" - however upon a re-read the entry was worded perfectly. All that was reported is that the kid's MySpace page went blue, and a couple of readers claim to have heard directly from the kid on social networking sites that he's committed.
He reported FACTS here: (1) the change to the MySpace page, and (2) the contention by a couple of readers that the commit was confirmed with the kid.
I come to this site because I want to read information like this before some imaginary threshold of "journalism" is crossed which makes a committment printable, and I'm enough of an adult to take this information for what it's worth.
Buzz Bissinger and the folks at Scout need to grow up.
I have shit for brains.
Magnus - yes, people should look at everything with a critical eye - from Brian's posts to stories in the New York Times. It's perfectly fair for people to question the veracity of what he writes.
However, the "YOU CAN'T POST RUMORS YOU HAVEN'T 100% VERIFIED THIS INFORMATION!!!" hand-wringing is, in my mind, idiotic.
sblue - I haven't seen his tax-returns, I don't know.
@ "Magnus" @ 10:33
You have no balls. Handlejacking is the pussy-est act that a pussy can perform.
@ chitown
Agreed.
Brian doesn't get paid by this site, he gets paid by AOL for that stuff. I thought he said the Ad Council ads were forced upon him?
Regardless, if this is true...holy shit, we have lots of offensive skill position players.
Blue in PA:
Recruit ranking absolutely has some circular aspects inherent in the process, and the snowball effect also applies.
So when are we going to recruit a kicker?
Snowballing. Awesome.
I was just curious, thanks everybody
Magnus:
Hahah.
Poor choice of words given the events of the past few days.
@ "Magnus" at 10:37
You're still a pussy.
This happens everytime Brian "breaks" a story. Morgan Trent has a broken hand. Carr is retiring. McNeal commits. The pay sites get all excited, and rightfully so, because they're paid to have the information first, so out come the knives. Sometimes Brian is right (Trent, Carr), sometime's he's wrong (apparently, McNeal on technicality). The pay sites also do this dance with each other. It's all an effort to protect their turf.
As always, this is probably best settled by a dance routine/knife fight, West Side Story style.
I wonder if anyone out there is still ready to lynch Jeremy Bonderman?
@ "Magnus" at 10:37
I did your brother.
BUT THE FIRST INNING!!!!!!!! ARGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!! CONSTERNATION!!!!!!!!!
Brian's monetary efforts:
http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2007...site-
stuff.html
Did Scout really attack Brian? Or was it some slimy shot at him?
How much traffic does Scout get per day?
1. Why would they be concerned with what Brian writes?
2. Are they scared he may have a better base of readers?
So some some joker on Scout or Rivals criticizes Brian and it's supposed to mean something? Come on now, everyone who frequents this blog undertsands it for what it is. Part rumor mill, part humor site, etc. We enjoy it. I mean, mgoblog has a pretty sizeable readership. So, if Rivals and Scout don't like it/the work Brian does, screw them. He isn't and should not ever be beholden to the self-prescribed recruiting afficionados at Rivals or Scout. If Rivals/Scout really want to be considerd mainstream media, why don't they hire some copy editors and people who actually know how to write. Just a thought.
Seriously...the handlejacking is ridiculous. I'm not even angry. If you don't realize how lame you are, then that's enough satisfaction for me.
And you obviously don't.
I think we need to ask Brian to post his tax returns before we can vote him blog president.
chitown:
Last night I was overly excited the Tigers managed to trade Grilli to Colorado.
For prospects even!
@The Facts
You're confused. No one is suggesting that "Blogging = Journalism", I just find it comical that the Scout header was directed squarely a Brian. They are jealous because he doesn't have to "play by their rules". That's too bad.
@Magnus
Turn your sarcasm detector on. I obviously understand that Brian is saying he's committed.
This post reminds me of a City Council meeting.
Wait, you mean the Tigers didn't trade Bondo, cut Sheffield, bench Polanco, and decide to sit out the rest of the season after a bad start? You mean they might actually be good? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE I WAS TOLD IT WAS TIME TO PANIC OH MY GOD THE PITCHING SUCKS AND WE CAN'T HIT AND THE BULLPEN CANNOT POSSIBLY EVER HOLD A LEAD ESPECIALLY ON THE ROAD AGAINST THE YANKEES PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC

you're hired.
I personally am unsettled by the fact that we're recruiting an LB with the last name Lattimore. I can only hope that he isn't hepped up on roids.
The Rivals/Scout consternation does strike me as weird. On one hand, I understand that if Brian scoops them, it erodes their value, as they are pay sites, and this is not.
On the other hand, roughly 75% of the information he forwards to us is sourced to Rivals and Scout, and he refers readers there a fair amount. As one of the larget College Sports bloggers out there, I'd think that business isn't completely inconsequential.
This comments thread went jubilant and awesome to extremely gay.
Journalistic integrity doesn't exist, by the way. Not in a world where Drew Sharp, Shaugnnessey(fuck if I care how it's spelled), Plasche, Mariotti, Hat Guy, Heyman, Peter King, and others make the big bucks. Mainstream media is GARBAGE. You can't argue otherwise.
To be fair though, about 98% of blogs are also garbage.

The Colorado papers are just mad that their has-been squad of Joe Nutsac, Adam Farte, and Floppa Foreskin can't get it done anymore and the future of the Avs organization looks bleak.
That's what happens when you luck out trading an overrated player, pull a Baltimore Colts, don't apologize for a dirty hit, and have Bettman jobbing everyone in your path to the Stanley Cup.
doesn't Tom Beaver look like a Grizzly Adams wanna-be?
after watching the highlight video (di anyone else?) the kid is fast and has good hands. but he got a lot of mileage on flanker screens that will be three yard pickups for him just like they were for Mario Manningham. He looks a lot like MM.
i also like the fact that the last few plays on his highlight film show him blocking downfield (!) and making a td saving tackle against an interception return.
@ Fred
Hopefully Rodriguez's screens are more effective than Carr's.
We'll be seeing a lot of bubble screens in this offense. I'm excited about that.
I fucking hate people.
To be fair, about 98% of humanity is garbage.
agree x2.
IANAJTITP, morons.
I'm just not sold on the bubble screens. they are like rolling the dice over and over again until you get a "7". Most of the time, when the tackling is decent, they are the functional equivalent of a cloud of dust.
the bubble screens on the highlight video are really fun to watch because he catches the ball then runs straight through 2 stockstill defenders who are only a couple of yards away from him for a 60 yard touchdown. that won't happen when he's playing against Big 10 speed.
Big 10 speed
This just made my head explode. Don't you mean SEC?
Considering Minnesota has used the bubble screen effectively for a decade now in the Big Ten, I'm not worried about RichRod's offense utilizing it correctly.
Also considering how bad we figure to be with the downfield passing game next year, it's important that these guys master the quick routes and screens.
Big 10 & speed 2 things that never go together.
@chitownblue 00,
Are you me or am I you?
*own head explodes
Fred:
I think he'll be a little different player than Manningham. Looks like he has a decent enough frame and, hopefully, will put on some muscle bulk. I liked how he seemed pretty unafraid to get physical near the sideline; if you watch the video closely, you'll see he's rarely tackled going out of bounds.
Hopefully, we can get Gordon, too. One would think the bubble screen game would be enhanced by outside WRs with decent blcoking abilities.
also, i just put some okkervil river live sets up on my blog, if anyone is interested in that type of thing.
www.patoralgenocide.wordpress.com
wrong link, whoops.
www.pastoralgenocide.wordpress.com
The hate for the bubble screen hate from WVU blogs and such is confusing to me. The main argument seems to be they don't go for TDs every time.
It never ceases to amaze me that fans exist who seem to think every play should go for a 50+ yard TD - if the bubble screen is effective at picking up 3-5 yards, it's done the job. If it's more reliable at getting those yards than handing off to your RB in some situations, what is the problem?
BGH, well done.
Dex:
I get the sense that WVU fans look at bubble screens the same way we looked at the dive left during the Carr era. Marginally effective but way overused.
Is "Westfall" involved?
Chitown,
I have a ton more that I will put up, including a bunch of Will Sheff solo stuff and some video.
Yeah, I think Westfall is on both.
I actually saw them play last week, they really exceeded my expectations.
Don't worry about the D. Shafer's plan is to blitz 11 converted QBs/slot receivers on every play.
mcneal's QB seems rather spry. nice to know we're already covered on the QB front though...
Lol, he has not committed yet and thanks to this story he and his dad are now very angry. Is he close? Of course, but he hasn't actually committed. Big diff
bgh:
Your use of logic has been deemed unfair by the comment referree committee. Consider this a warning.
@Huss:
I saw that guy on the comments last night when someone posted a link to McNeal's page. That's classic! While I'm crazy enough to check this site with alarming frequency, the "Thx for the add!" on MySpace is a little over the top. Granted, this is probably like a Star Wars geek calling out a Trekkie nerd, but you get the point.
i think Brian should take the post down.
1) the post doesn't meet Brian's quality standards. myspace? people who messaged McNeal over myspace? weak. i read Brian's site religiously because 99% of his content is better than this.
2) McNeal is a 16 or 17 year-old kid. let him dictate how he wants to announce any decisions.
Lol, he has not committed yet and thanks to this story he and his dad are now very angry. Is he close? Of course, but he hasn't actually committed. Big diff

The idea that he changes his myspace page to all Michigan stuff, then theoretically gets outraged that people may take that as an indication for something is pretty funny.
@ this guy
That's what I said about Carr's retirement announcement. And I was largely vilified.
Apparently there's no such thing as "on your own terms."
brian, please be right.
he has not committed yet and thanks to this story he and his dad are now very angry.
if they wanted no one to think he was going to M, maybe he should not have changed his myspace page. i mean really, if you don't want people knowing things about you & jumping to conclusions, then don't broadcast those things over the fucking internet.

Are you the same person who argues that Family Guy should be taken off the air because it may be a bad influence on children? Here's an idea: be a fucking parent and don't let your kids watch it. And if you're a big-time college recruit who knows fans look at your page (there's a 45 year old Charlie Weis clone in the comments sayin' "Thanks for the add" for fuck's sake) then don't get pissed off when people infer things based on a change to your page that's about as subtle as a flamethrower enema. Fuck. "On your own terms?" It's called tell your family or friends, don't put it up on a billboard when anyone with a phoneline and a commodore 64 can drive down that road and see it. I bet you were on the panel to award that lady $5 million when she spilled coffee on her lap after puting it between her legs, too, weren't you? Jebus.
@ Ninja
I was referring to the Carr thing. I'm pretty sure Carr didn't post his retirement on his Myspace profile.
Ok man sorry. You just have some crazy ability to push my buttons. Are you, by chance, one of my ex-girlfriends masquerading as a commenter?
I'll give you a hint:
I have a hairy chest.
