Seriously, look up the term straw man.Originally posted by SpartansNation:
I thought you hired the rockstar of coaches? Relationships? You guys claim that "Michigan recruits itself". And, "we don't rebuild, this is Michigan for God's sakes!". Urban Meyer came in and kicked royal ass in a very short time period. Harbaugh spent two weeks doing victory laps... Most people aren't surprised at Harbaugh not getting recruits for just showing up.

I'm not blaming Urban for that, but no doubt it helped him.
Oconner was a PSU commit. Spence was going to PSU. That makes 5 out of 12.Originally posted by Heisenburg:

Your post got me interested...
Recruits that committed to Urban in 2012:
Adolphus Washington - Committed before Urban was hired, but said he wanted to play for Urban Meyer when he pledged to tOSU - nothing to do with PSU
Ricquan Southward - Nothing to do with PSU
Se'von Pittman - Nothing to do with PSU
Tommy Schutt - PSU Flip
Noah Spence - Could of been a PSU guy
Taylor Decker - Notre Dame Flip
Joey O'Conner - nothing to do with PSU
David Perkins - nothing to do with PSU
Camren Williams - PSU Flip
Armani Reeves - PSU Flip
Kyle Dodson - Wisconsin Flip
Jamal Marcus - nothing to do with PSU
So 3 of the 12 were flips from PSU and 1 more was a possible PSU guy. None of the PSU guys have done much since.
Gee guy, way to go. Being your usual self I see. You just don't know how to make a common decent comment do you?Originally posted by SpartansNation:

5 out of 10 --- given Washington & Southward committed prior to Urban being hired.
