  • Every current BigTen coach has tried to recruit a player that has committed to another BigTen school, except Northwestern. That includes Tiller, Tressel, and even newer coaches like Dantonio. In fact over 200 recruits decommitted this past year - singling out Rodriquez, for what you yourself has done is hypcortical sour grapes - pathetic really.

    What people are also missing is that Roy Roundtree's dream was to play for UofM. Carr didn't offer him, Rod did, and gave the kid his dream.

  • You mean like the signing day offer OSU extended to Patrick Omameh after he verbally committed to Michigan? Your team does the same thing.

  • At 1:22 he puts his hands in his pockets when he says he feels pretty proud of how they recruit. hmmmm, doesn't quite take a trained FBI agent to figure what that's about.

  • RR acts more like an angry fan than a head coach. No wonder so many recruits are breaking their verbal commitments...

  • I think it so ironic that Fraudriguez is talking about a "gentlemans agreement"...I wonder if he had to let his agent/ lawyer / accountant, and his wife sit in on the discussion about this too ???

  • it was 8 wins 4 losses

  • I tell you that McGuffie kid is probably the best back you have in terms of talent!And he's a white boy!He leaped over people in high school and he jumped over T.J. Shugarts head!He is our 6'7" freshmen o-linemen!So he's pretty big.

  • And look: if Brown DOES get tired easily, we can always trun to Minor, Grady, or McGuffie.

  • True, but Brown WAS a 4 star prospect and was rated as one of the top 10 runningbcks in the class of 2006, which was beanies class. And he looked damn good in his 3 games as a starter last season. I'm not worried about him.

  • Yeah but Brown wasn't All Ohio and the number 1 running back in his national recruiting class.Wells was the best RB coming out high school.I'm not saying he won't do well but there isn't no Jake Long at Left Tackle now.

  • Chris Wells easily made the transition from sub to starter after Antonio pittman left, and I ahve no reason to believe Brown won't do the same.

    Also, we have Mathews, Butler, and Hemingway to throw to, as I've explained already. I'm not worried at all about our wide receivers. I like them alot.
