Sounds like a script to me. He could have plugged a number of schools in there.

Sorry, not buying it at all.

Yea he stayed pretty neutral. I suppose you have to.

Nothing about when he will announce?

Not sure what you mean about 'not buying it'.

Think he means he would have said the same thing to any person who interviewed him about any team. Say a Alabama guy interviewed him, he should have said the same responses just about Alabama type thing.

I liked the interview myself, but I will not be looking too much into it until he at least commits. Ive grown tired of disappointments despite this sick class haha.

I don't follow O$U recruiting all that well so does anyone have the numbers on head-to-head recruiting that we've won and loss with O$U?

It seems to me that there is a difference between just getting an offer letter and being recruited heavily. I guess I could get the information online of the recruits that had offer letters from both schools but I want to know which recruits UM put some real effort into recruiting as did O$U and what the outcome was (i.e. Kalis)

Well, the problem with that stat is once a kid chooses UM over Ohio, the Ohio commitment becomes classified as a 'non-commitable' offer according to Ohio folks.

Puh-lease.

yea I guess this is probably a lot harder to track thanI though it would be. There are other factors as well such as position of need, style of player, etc.

For instance, O$U offered TE Marcus Baugh but even though UM wanted a TE they offered Jake Butt because his skill set and style of play best suits UM's offense.

Per Scout.com I see the following players that were offered by both UM and O$U that chose O$U:

DE Joey Bosa, S Jayme Thompson, OT Evan Lisle, CB Eli Woodard, DT Billy Price, CB Cameron Burrows


Per Scout.com I see the following players that were offered by both UM and O$U that chose UM:

DT Henry Poggi , DT Maurice Hurst Jr., OLB Ben Gedeon, RB DeVeon Smith, OG Patrick Kugler, OT Logan Tuley-Tillman, OG Chris Fox, FB Wyatt Shallman, S Dymonte Thomas


This list may not be correct though because I though McCray was given an offer by O$U. Maybe I'm wrong though.

When do you plan on making a return trip to Michigan and do you have a set decision date?
- At this point in time I don't have a set decision date in mind. I plan on making a trip up to Ann Arbor for a game this fall!

Missed that one. Definitely sounds like a late commit. I will say he will probably wait until Army All American game. Get comfy boys it's going to be a long ride.

I can partially answer this. Per Tom V-Michigan also now has 9 commitments that held Ohio State offers and 5 with Alabama offers. That still does not tell us how many OSU commits held offers from Michigan. Still impressive to see us with 9 guys that OSU was after and 5 that we were up against Bama.

Yes, McCray was offered by OSU last week (maybe the week before).
