Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I feel a bit bad for Bell. His last year was my first and that knee injury just ruined him. He was just awful that season.

He also had that punt at Michigan hit him. Too bad he's remembered for that.

I was there and I was really excited to see UW beat Michigan, until that happened. 

Michigan's Top 10 All-Time recruits are...

1) Rashan Gary, DL (#1 player, 2016) - 1.0000 - he's tied with Jadeveon Clowney, Robert Nkemediche, Vince Young, and Ernie Sims as the highest rated recruit in the history of the recruit rankings. Was an All-B1G 1st team player and #11 overall NFL draft pick. 

2) Jabrill Peppers, ATH (#3 player, 2014) - 0.9992 - All-B1G 1st team player, Heisman Trophy finalist (lol), and 1st rd NFL draft pick.

3) Ryan Mallett, QB (#5 player, 2007) - 0.9978 - was at Michigan for all of 5 minutes. Went on to be really good for Arkansas. Not so great in the NFL though.

4) LaMarr Woodley, DE (#4 player, 2003) - 0.9972 - All-B1G/All-American 1st team player, 2nd rd pick (should've been 1st) - dominant college player with a very good NFL career. 

5) Prescott Burgess, LB (#5 player, 2003) - 0.9970 - solid college player, not All-Conference caliber, but startable. 6th rd NFL draft pick. Most definitely did not live up to the hype.

6) Kelly Baraka, RB (#12 player, 2001) - 0.9944 - was one of the most hyped RB recruits from the state in forever, broke Tyrone Wheatley and Charles Rogers state track records....dude was a freak athlete and a big RB. Fast as all fk and not a little 5'9/5'10 guy...6'1, 200+ and could fly. Major disappointment. Was at Michigan for all of 5 minutes, got kicked out for smoking the ganja and other off-field issues. He transferred to some JUCO I think once he got kicked out of Michigan and got kicked out of the JUCO as well. Head. Case.

7) Brandon Graham, DE (#16 player, 2006) - 0.9930 - if there is a most underrated 5* ever- if that's even possible....it's him. Graham was a dominant college player an All-Conference, All-American player and 1st rd NFL draft pick who has had an amazing NFL career. He kind of gets slept on and people don't realize how good he truly was because he was on those god awful RichRod teams. IF the guy had played his JR/SR years for Carr or Harbaugh and was on winning teams he'd have lot more RESPKT on his name. 

8) Daxton Hill, S (#14 player, 2019) - 0.9927  - All-Conference type player and 1st rd NFL draft pick. Stud defensive back.

9) Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR (#12 player, 2017) - 0.9925 - freak athlete but he was better as a punt returner than he was WR....speaks volumes to Harbaugh and his offensive staff turning the best WR recruit that state of MI had produced in nearly 20 years into an afterthought. Good college player, is projecting to be a better NFL player.

10) Will Johnson, CB (#15 player, 2022) - 0.9924 - only a true frosh but the early returns are highly impressive. 1st team Frosh All-American and was honestly Michigan's best CB by far- as a true freshman. Ceiling is super high and he's got 2 more years and then he's off to the 1st rd of the NFL draft imo.

I'd say they hit 6 out of 10 with Gary, Peppers, Woodley, Graham, Hill, and Johnson. Baraka and Mallett were flat out busts for Michigan. And Prescott Burgess & DPJ were solid college players that never lived up to the hype.

Someone do this:



Clearly #1 is a bust.

For Ohio State he certainly was. Jury is still out on him at Texas, next year is his put up or shut up year imo. We should cut him some slack, Sark is his coach and he was banged up/injured this year. Very talented player, but he’s going to be losing the best RB in CFB, which is tough loss for any young QB. 

Pryor was so good at Ohio St that it’s hard to say he didn’t quite live up but that might be the case. Tattogate obviously derailed his career which with all the NIL crap and teams like A&M openly buying ‘crootin classes- just seems laughable now that he got pinched for something so ridiculous. Still feel like he went to the wrong system going to play for Tressell, dude was tailor made for the spread/zone read option. 

Ted Ginn was fkn awesome. Still might be to this day the fastest human being I’ve seen play football live. It’s either him or Percy Harvin. It’s close. Harvin probably more bouncy/agile/electric whatever you want to call it- Ginn just faster than all fk when he had a lane and hit top gear. Probably my favorite OSU player ever.

All-time commits per 247. How'd they work out for your school?

link for this or do I have to dig?
might not be worth it for a Husker fan

Marlon Lucky - not bad, but not NFL material - good pass catcher out of the backfield
Chris Septek - forgettable - bust
Aaron Green - no Ahman Green - transferred out - bust
Baker - I actually tailgate with him, his brother and famous father - decent solid career - not bad, but nothing special
Suh - better than expected obviously - all time great~
Cortney - solid career - nothing special
Tyjon - bust
Turner - started at left tackle as a true frosh, moved to right tackle - hasn't been dominant - jury still out.  Hopefully a big season coming up

Nebraska added its 30th scholarship player for 2023 and its 23rd overall high school/junior college addition on Tuesday. Four-star edge Cameron Lenhardt of IMG Academy officially committed to Nebraska for a second time during the Under Armour All-American Game on ESPN.

The NCAA rule that allowed all of Nebraska’s June visitors another opportunity to visit Lincoln and meet the new staff ended up being huge. Of all the repeat visitors, only wide receiver Barry Jackson didn’t end up a Husker. After Lenhardt’s repeat visit to Nebraska, you could tell things looked very good for the Huskers.

Lenhardt now becomes the fourth high school/junior college edge player NU has added to its class of 2023. This was a clear area of need, and you can argue the Matt Rhule coaching staff addressed it as much as any position on the roster.


This is the second 2023 recruiting class addition Nebraska has added from IMG Academy in Florida. Lenhardt, along with defensive back Syncere Safeeullah, both played at IMG this past season. Before this year, the Huskers have only signed one player from IMG Academy – offensive lineman Broc Bando.

Lenhardt is from the state of New York. With his addition, he’s now the 13th different state represented in Nebraska’s 2023 signing class. You won’t find very many programs if any, in the country with this type of state representation in a recruiting class.

6'5, 225-230 lbs, legit 4.3-40 and 10.2-100m speed. Yes please.
