RichRod is a theif...the good kind.

It's official. 4-star OH RB Michael Shaw, once committed to Penn State, realized the error in his ways and committed to Michigan. This gives Michigan 4 RB commitments for the class of 2008. Depth concerns still exist at QB with only Justin Feagin signing with the class of 2008. Expect possibly one more non-Pryor QB pick up today to fill in at the athlete QB position. Otherwise, the unreliable return of Antonio Bass or a position switcheroo (possibly S Brandon Smith) may occur to help fill this void if Pryor were to sign with that hick school down south.

AHHH!!!!

Sam McGuffie is above the rules today too, putting off his season to sign a letter of intent to Michigan because none other than Tedford at Cal has been up in McGuffie's ear. Where the hell did this come from??!?!?!?!?! Happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

Signing Day Goodies.

First of all, Ryan Mallett and his parents are idiots. Making more headlines after his transfer from Michigan to Arkansas, Mallett has appealed the process to sit out a year after transferring from one D-1A school to another. The point of this rule is to avoid players swapping teams at will and keeps kids from all stockpiling onto one team and to keep coaches from recruiting kids away from other schools in order to stock up for the present season. Mallett in NO WAY, is an exception or in any sort of "excused" situation in order to break these rules which are in place for "short-comers" like himself. He simply transferred. This is an embarrassing waste of time and unneeded extra media attention for a kid who has yet to even prove himself to be special ON the field.

Regarding things that matter to Michigan, Rich Rodriguez has already proven this recruiting season to pull magic 4 star recruits out of his ASS!!!! Whooooooooooo! Signing day today has already seen Rodriguez pull away 4-star OL Ricky Barnum away from Florida, 4-star WR Roy Roundtree away from Purdue (haha!!!), and possibly Roy's teammate, 4-star WR Michael Shaw, away from none other than Penn State. (1pm announcement) Dual threat QB Justin Feagin as well as 4-star WR Terrence Robinson are two other recent commits that Rodriguez has landed to help round out the class of 2008. Terrelle Pryor's announcement may never come as he is waiting now to take an official visit to Penn State. Again, rules are there for a reason. This is National Signing Day where all recruits must sign letters of intent to a particular school. This is another case of a kid being above the rules because he is already labeled as "something special" before proving himself on the field at the college level. Let's hope his head doesn't turn out as bloated and misaligned as Mallett's.
