2022 Worthless Recruiting Thread

Arch Manning recruitment: Steve Wiltfong updates latest after Georgia visit (247sports.com)

Wonder if he's any good. Lol.

[Mdot21]

Michigan lands 247Composite 3.5* DT Kenneth Grant (6'4, 335) out of Indiana. Grant was one of the top guys on their board at DT. One of the top recruiting guys over at 247 Steve Witflong says Grant is due for a ratings bump- and had been saying this before he committed to Michigan.

Other guys on that board are 247Composite #1 player in the nation 5* DT Walter Nolen (6'4, 325) out of Tennessee and 247Composite 4* DT Deone Walker (6'6, 350) out of Michigan. Nolen will be a battle to the end and tough pull, but his family is originally from Detroit and still have a lot of family there. Walker goes to Detroit Cass Tech and is leaning towards Michigan. 

Oddly enough, landing Grant and Walker would actually improve Michigan's chances with Nolen. He's clicked with those two on visits and he's looking to come in with other top prospects in the DT room. He's specifically said he's not looking to come in by himself and do all the heavy lifting and get beat up.

So Grant was saying that he was due for a ratings bump?Cocky Bastage,looks like a good pick up,perhaps a Taco in the making

I presume so, don't really know except the obvious and he's highly rated.  The 5 star guys do tend to end up being quite good across positions.

UW really wanted him. Great pickup.

It was a joke lol. Kid is a Manning. Grandpa was an all-time great college player and #2 overall NFL draft pick. Uncle Peyton was an all-time great college player, #1 overall NFL draft pick and HOF QB. Uncle Eli was a very good college player, #1 overall NFL draft pick and 2x Super Bowl winning QB. 

My guess is the kid is going to be pretty damn good.

I knew you were kidding about his pedigree, but the truth is, other than that, I don't know a thing about him beyond his rating.

4* ATH Dillon Tatum commits to Michigan State. Nice pick-up by Sparty.

MSU WR commit Jaron Glover from Florida just got a bump to a near 4*.  The good news is that he took a visit to FSU for the loss to Jacksonville State.

He's undersized, but is a favorite to win the state title in the 200 and 400 in states come fall.  Give me the fastest kid in Florida, and let the coaches figure it out.

Even the MSU writers who admittedly say they have no UM connections said the bad blood between Tatum and Clinkscale ended this one.  I'm not sure I've ever heard that before.

That's what the Michigan writers have been saying. Tatum apparently really liked Don Brown and Mike Zordich but then obviously they both got fired and pushed out the door but he was still feeling Michigan, especially after they hired his high school coach Ron Bellamy. Tatum was still all good to go and apparently really liked new Co-DC and DB's coach Maurice Linguist and was seemingly going to commit to Michigan in April. Linguist then takes the head job at UofBuffalo after being at Michigan for all of 5 minutes, Michigan hires Clinkscale- and then Tatum decides to hold off on his commitment and backs off the April date. Apparently Tatum just did not vibe with/click with/trust Clinkscale at all for whatever reason. Must be some kind of real bad blood there, considering he was all set to commit to Michigan in April, two of his best friends & high school teammates Makari Paige and Donovan Edwards are at Michigan, and his former HS head coach is there as well coaching safeties- the position he'll likely be playing in college.

For the Michigan State fan(s) here (@ELA), I noticed the recruiting profile of one of Sparty’s football commits is also a basketball recruiting profile. Tre Holloman of St. Paul Minnesota, ranked as the 51st CB is also the nation’s 10th ranked Point Guard, as recruited by Tom Izzo.

I’m guessing he’ll be a two-sport guy? Which I’ve hardly seen as a featured thing since the 90s/early-2000s. Think McNabb at Syracuse or Peppers at UNC.

two sport guys don't work out. takes so much to become great at one sport- but especially football where the best players are usually the ones with best fundamentals & technique and that can formation read and guess tendencies and read plays before snap and react before the play happens- and that takes A LOT of hard work & study. Impossible to dedicate the kind of time it takes to become a great player in football and then try to do another sport.

He is only being recruited for basketball.  If he plays football down the road, I'll be surprised.  Two current members of the football team (Keon Coleman and Maliq Carr) might try to play basketball
