Yes sir, I fully understand the sacrifice of parents as we travel with my daughter a lot in soccer. I also hope this entire experience, should she/we be blessed to have that opportunity, prepares her to make the decision on what will benefit her in her career. I know this is nothing compared to football, so maybe my thinking isn't rational. I do understand what you are saying though and I will definitely be more careful with my words before I speak. I don't want someone to think I am calling them selfish when I don't even know them. Hope you have a great weekend!

Likewise to you but know you said nothing wrong ij want you to understand the what, why, and how because it can be very complicated to understand based on common sense or lack of knowledge of the game of recruiting

@Weezer @Devo182 he failed miserably at the recruiting game too. The reason being we were competing with Cincy and the little brothers vs Bama and UGA or Flawda. Notice the difference between the recruits with Pruitt vs Butch. The new kids are Bama Clemson Fla Oregon etc. under Butch they’d tk a cb from Fla w/o a Mia, Fla, or FSU offer likewise in Ga

Good morning I understand what you’re train of thought is just understand that the sacrifice of a parent during the kids doing what they enjoy is just as much a weight on them too. The training, game night, practices, buying equipment, college visits, etc. Meanwhile kids grow up around parents who went to certain schools and learn to love them because of this. For instance my son loves UT and the Steelers because of me. I grew up around TN St and the Steelers but won a lil league game playing for the Flatrock Vols and went to Neyland and saw a game and never looked at another team until it became mainstream as I grew up. I knew where I was going based on that. It was parental influence. Nowadays that still happens despite different circumstances whether winning, benefits, or whatever it is.

Tons of truth here.

I figured as much. People get so caught up in signing talent, that they forget there are real people with real stories caught up in the middle.

Id love to have Colson. He reminds me a lot of Trenton Simpson 5 star out Charlotte in 2020.

With that said, I really like what we signed in 2020 and have committed in 2021.

Martavius French is a real prospect. Good leadership.
Bryson Eason is 6'2 260 and runs like he's 230. Willis and Lewis of 2021 are both runners and strikers that will play at 230 in 2 years.
Crouch could be a star there beside Henry To'oto'o if he is allowed to focus there.

Of course Colson can play any LB spot in any defense...

Had no idea he was even announcing. Guess it's all wrapped up and done (for now) if av and metal are mia in this thread. Not that I was expecting anything different. Lock up Mondon...best lb class in the nation.

There was talk of us playing Meechigan last year in a bowl game. Given JG's performance and how we played overall vs INDIANA...I'm glad we didn't. Maybe this year will be better to see them in a bowl game, but by next year and HB year 2 or Salter year 1...100% ready...

Maybe he can help them beat Ohio State. Extremely doubtful, as is the idea of Harbaugh being his coach all 4 years, but hey, maybe...

Only reason Harbaugh hasn’t been fired yet because he’s in the Big 10 and able to win 8-9 games but he’s not able to beat their rival Ohio St.

He’ll feel the heat after this year, guarantee it.

Callhan has said we will continue recruiting him regardless, so you're probably right...just gotta show something on the field this year or hope Michigan falls flat on their face again.

Michigan is not going to do anything and Harbaugh will be gone soon.

Unless Michigan doesn't play, I doubt he flips. With his parents being Michigan alum, I expect he's locked in.
