Eleven Warriors

Ohio kids who are not good enough for OSU need a better alternative.

Honestly, great weekend for Michigan, but like others said, while there's a lot of solid guys who committed, only a few stand out to me as "wow, that kid is elite. I'd love to have him".

And, I could easily see us having a few days like thins around or after the Spring game with guys like Foster, Zaire, (Gibson and Heuereman if they haven't committed by then).

What hes saying is no one in your classes really sticks out like "WOW" they're just blue chip recruits(which is good, im not putting it down) but signing day is a year away, and these kids minds can change all the time, as for ohio states class, we won't be able to go out and sign as many as you guys but i think that will make it a even more solid class because no "maybes" or "buts" are getting in, just solid, proven recruits.

M Man, I live 10 min from Pickerington, and I played Soccer with a bunch of kids from Pickerington and the schools split when I was in high school. Their is a rivarly not sure how much it is though. I think it is more a social thing now to what I know about it, Central is where more lower income people live compared to Pick North, you can tell a difference if you have ever been around Pickerington. The North side has Huge houses and more keep going up. Also Jacoby maybe went to Central because they are usually better at Football, they made it to the state championship game this year right?

I think Chris Fox is a WOW type player plus the other recruits all seem to be 4*. TSUN will most likely be able to take more players than us, so I expect that Urban is being really cautious right now. All of the players that have commited to OSU are definetly WOW type players.

I have no doubt that Urban will come out with a top notch class.  History proves that.  From our perspective, though, it's nice to know he's human and can't land every recruit out there that is on the radar.  We're not even a month removed from signing day and our class is (probably) at least half full.  That's a long time for kids to mull over their commitments.

@Alex  I think Treadwell and Levenberry are very likely to sign, Pocic and Isaac are higly possible (Issac - not anytime soon), and Fuller is hopeful, but won't be until Mid-April, at the earliest.  

I hope Michigan doesn't sign all those players, but I do want Michigan to be good, in 2006 it was awesome to watch  #1 vs #2 the last game of the season, I like when both teams are good it makes things mor interesting.

This is a much nicer respectful banter thread, thanks to the school up north fans who bring a opposing point of view to this site.

Agree Alex, I think we all appreciate it when it isn't the trolls. Opposing points of views are always nice when it's respectful.

You know what?  Tressel signed a lot of nice classes that were top 10, and it was enough to win the B1G, but not enough to compete with the USC's of the world.  So, Hoke can land  a lot of nice classes and be the coach of the 2nd B1G to make the BCS every year.  Meyer will land better classes and be competeing for bigger things than a B1G title.  

Meyer was critical of the class he just signed.  The number 4 class he just signed.  Anything but a top ranked class is coming up short in his eyes.  Michigan is killing it right now, and good for them, and I'm not going to say these aren't guys Ohio State wants.  I will say though, that Meyer hasn't whiffed on anyone in this class yet.  The first 4 in this class are awesome.  The next few are going to be equally good or better. 

I'm not here to downplay what Michigan is doing, but is it really surprising who they are landing right now?  When Meyer loses a Jalin Marshal to Michigan then I'll start to worry about the classes they are landing.  They are going after the class they want and Meyer is going after the guys he wants.  We'll see how it shakes out in the end, but something tells me Meyer's class is still going to be a higher ranked class.  If those guys pan out we'll see.  Michigan has fine recruits for 2012 and are off to a great start in 2013.  Meyers haul was better in 2012 and will probably be better in 2013, and he's a better coach, that's all I care about. 

I have a hard time seeing Michigan getting any more top offensive linemen given the number of solid commits they've already got in 2012 and 2013. If these top commits have aspirations to get playing time and eventually move into the NFL (which I assume most top prospects want) then they would be better off looking at schools where they can play.

Ohio State has recruited well at OL as well, so perhaps that precludes us as well, but not to the degree that it should preclude Michigan from obtaining more top OL commits.

in an interview with someone related to UM, Pocic has dispelled rumors of having a top three, let alone one that excludes Michigan.
