2018 Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter MilesBarkley
- Start date
Michigan now no longer has any recruit ranked in the top 100 in 247 composite, while PSU has 6 (assuming Walker commits) while OSU has 13
Crazy that Ohio State is about to close a historically good recruiting class and somehow Georgia is even better. The recruiting gap between OSU/PSU and the rest of the B1G really is staggering this cycle.

Right
Michigan is going to field a very talented team next year. The question marks at OT and QB are big, but maybe only two teams on Michigan's schedule (ND and OSU) will be more talented than the Wolverines.

This is not what recruiting looks like ...
in Year 3 of a program on the rise. Starting to look like Jimmy is in over his head.

Only two?
I don't think you can say only two are going to be more talented. MSU returns pretty much everyone, Wisconsin just reloads every year, and Penn State is no slouch either. Michigan's defense is obviously elite, but their offense is still pretty middle/bottom of the pack when it comes to the Big Ten.

Penn State had offensive
Penn State had offensive coaching too. It will be interesting to see how this season goes with their new OC. They have signed 3 5 stars and 11 4stars in this class though, currently ranked 6th
Franklin is looking better than Harbaugh at this point.

Your argument falls apart once you look at the teams results on the field. Look what Wiscy has done on the field and what Penn State has done on the field. Both have outperformed Michigan. Does this mean they have better coaches?

This was a bad class that was losing its top commits long before the South Carolina game. It was bad in August and got worse as the year went on. A win over the Gamecocks wasn't going to change much at all.
But I do agree they need to get some results on the field next year. There's a cloud over things now, and that's only going to grow and give opposing recruiters more ammo if they can't post a solid 10+ win season next year. I mean, if you can't beat your other Big Ten rivals to get a sniff at the Big Ten champ game, and can't figure out your offensive line in year four...what exactly are you selling to recruits?

Hey Harbaugh! Now is the time to earn that $9 million paycheck. Jesus. We’re getting dusted.

Lmao this is just funny at this point. How ridiculous. I've been pretty level headed when it comes to Harbaugh and Michigan, but this is just pathetic. Idc that the last two classes were very good. This is truly a reminder of where people think our program is headed. Yes we can have a a bad recruiting season, but this really bad. We can't even hold on to guys that were committed for over a year while allowing our rivals to snatch up our recruits at the last second.

I don't think I've seen UM and a coaching staffed get pushed around this much in a recruiting cycle. They got punked multiple times.
Make or break season for JH in 2018.

Urban just said in his press conference that they signed 26 in 2018 class.
Nicholas Petit-Frere who committed about an hour ago was #25...
Either Urban just slipped up on another possible commit or he can't count. I'm hoping for the latter...

Shaquon Anderson-Butts has gone the JUCO route, signing with Iowa Western. Best of luck to the young man, and maybe he’s able to find himself back at Penn State in a few years.
Nice sentiments. I don't know where Walker is going and in the larger scheme of things it doesn't matter. But allow me set you straight. What's crazy is how PSU can compete with Ohio with classes ranked below 20. Imagine what will happen now that the gap has closed! It should keep you up at night. And no, most of us don't hate Ohio. I predict the Ashtabula Miracle isn't long for Ohio. After we beat you a couple more times you'll be looking for a new HC. Why. Because Ohio fans don't tolerate losing and therein lies your problem with attracting a talented coach. Bottom line, the bar has been raised. F@ck TSUN. Your 'problem' is Penn State, not Meat.
Have a blessed day!
OSU will close with Javonte Jean-Baptiste from New Jersey as the final piece to the class. Once we lost Oweh to you guys Urban made it his mission and signed 3 more defensive ends inside the national top 250.
Go the main forum on Michigan Rivals hit forums up top when all forums are shown type in Otis Reese in the search bar and you will see all the quotes even from the paid board. Just plain fun.
I hope you are right! Saw another report this morning that Wray said Walker was texting him this morning asking about OSU.
You get Petit-Frere, we get Walker

When you look at the Michigan commit list, it's interesting that they could not get 1 player from oh-high-ya... Good number from MI, a few lower ranked from GA, and obviously a few highly rated from FL, TX...
An off year or a trend??
Jimmy doesn't have time to recruit. Too busy planning his team's Spring trip to Europe!
Look at the OSU ballboy trolling on the Michigan sideline in this gif

I heard he's ditching the Pope for the Dalai Lama and they're off to Tibet for spring break.

This should be relatively easy for Harbaugh; even with Meyer and Franklin in conference, he should be able to recruit Top Ten classes every year. It's really a miracle that he doesn't do better or win more (noting his pissy pants antics and general weirdness probably have a lot to do with his lack of success).
In the evaluation world of height, weight, wingspan, SPARQ, ...., IQ, which does help win games, doesn't get factored in. If it did their recruits would be higher rated.......
Wasn't Friday looking at michigan? As I recall, Penn State got into the game too late.
Did Franklin have a realistic shot at Boykin or Friday?
Boykin didn't have a committable offer from Penn State. Friday isn't a top level DE prospect. Some say he ends up at guard.
Thanks, Judge.
You know, this board would suck rocks without you. Of course, I say that with the utmost respect for everyone else here.
NW's class is only 16, that's a big part of it.
Accdng to Chicago paper, on a stars-per-player basis NW is higher than Rutgers, Purdue, Ill and Indiana and about the same as Iowa.
