On Friday afternoon, Thomas Wilcher, the Cass Tech High School football coach, sounded off on Urban Meyer and Ohio State's recruitment of running back Mike Weber, who signed his letter of intent to play for the Buckeyes Wednesday.
Thing is, the man who primarily recruited Weber, running backs coach Stan Drayton, is leaving to take the same job with the Chicago Bears.
Below is a compilation of tweets from that interview as documented by Michigan beat writers Nick Baumgardner of MLive.com and Angelique Chengelis of the Detroit News:

Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher asked on @DSports1051 if he's upset at Urban Meyer, he says "that's where it starts."

Wilcher says it's his understanding that if Ohio State releases Weber, he won't have to sit out. He's not commenting on any of that further

Wilcher: "My efforts now are not going to be with coach Meyer (and Ohio State), they'll be with Mike Weber, trying to get his spirits up"
