2024 Recruiting Thread

[Honestbuckeye]

Jeem has been 'crootin' this EDGE Brian Robinson- a 4* top 150 overall 'croot from Ohio- and these other two jokers in the pic with him are EDGE and DT 'croots, brothers, and 4* top 250 overall 'croots that are Michigan commits that went on a visit to Kentucky with this Robinson fellow this past weekend. Jeem might actually win the B1G three years in a row, make the playoff three years in a row, and then lose these fcking kids to motherfcking Kentucky. Hey Michigan is winning conference titles and going to the playoffs a lot and putting DLs in the NFL draft a lot lately....hey you know what, let me go to KENTUCKY.

Yeah, can't say I blame him for bolting to the NFL if it happens. I wouldn't want to recruit a bunch of retarded 16-18 year olds year round. FCK. THAT.

OSU is NOT interested in Robinson.  Might be doing you a favor by going to UK.

Vince Marrow still holds a ton of sway there.

Fun fact, recruiting doesn't matter anymore.  It just gives you first crack at a kid.  But if you don't use him enough, or pay him enough, he'll leave.  The sooner people treat college football like the NFL, except with only one year deals, and no salary cap, the sooner we can realize what this is.

Kentucky has deep pockets, they'll pay for 17 year olds.  But when those kids perform, they don't have OSU, Michigan, Alabama pockets, for football, and those kids will leave.  Michigan is better off letting those kids go to Kentucky, and then decide if they are worth it

yeah but OSU also has like 5* EDGE commits and sh*t...they can afford to be picky. I have heard that Robinson is a physical specimen but is pretty new to playing defense and that his dad is a complete head case and was actually such a problem that the coach of Robinson's HS team told him to find another school- and then the dad went all Soccer-Mom psychopath all over Facebook and social media trashing the coach and the school.

I don't know, I'd still prefer to recruit HS kids, develop them and then just use the portal sparingly on a year by year case by case basis to plug holes or fill depth needs here and there.

Yeah, but Michigan is in a place where they can just plug holes.  And that's the new norm.  Michigan will be plugging holes from mid tier P5 teams, like Kentucky.  So best to let those kids sort themselves out there

Not sure what the best topic for this graphic would be, so I decided on this one.

Some obvious ones here, and a couple of surprises...

I think that shows how helmets rank.  Keon Coleman took less NIL to go transfer to FSU, because he thought it was a better path to the pros.  It's not the 90s anymore.  FSU and MSU have the same number of current pros.

Iowa has more than I would expect.  Texas has fewer

my Iowa buddies love this stat

and it's great for their recruiting

I like to ask them why they don't win more games with all this NFL talent

look at all the current NFL OLs and TEs Iowa has churned out. you'd think they could score more than 24 ppg.

same answer. two words.

Brian. Ferentz.

unfortunately, no way to like that post 24 times

Yeah Texas has been struggling with developing talent and getting it into the League.  Tide may be changing though, this year we should put at least 6 or 7 into the draft.

But what really stuck out to me was how few Texas A&M has.  If you believe what the ag fans say, they've been out-recruiting and out-developing Texas for years.  They try to use that as a negative recruiting tactic.  The stats might indicate otherwise...

Texas is going to go on a run the next couple drafts of putting guys in the NFL. 

A&M is simple...they have a terrible retread of a coach who hasn't been good at his job in at least 10 years, took the $100 mil from A&M and ran away from Florida State and has checked out. They think they can buy coaches and HS recruits....and well, you can't. Can't buy winning culture, can't buy effort, can't buy discipline....and they have none of that. I legit can't believe they actually hired Bobby Petrino- another washed up retread like Jumbo. The game has passed both of those gumps by.

Jadyn Davis probably going to re-earn his 5th star imo...not that it matters. And if they get Underwood in '25, Davis is going to hit the portal bc he's not beating out Underwood.

Jeem better get on the phone with 4* WR Nick Marsh. Kid is a freaking stud.
