Looks like New Jersey 4* DT George Rooks may be making a decision within the next week. Between Michigan and PSU, though Michigan holds both CB picks. Michigan has really recruited NJ well lately.......us, not so much.
Could really use a DT commit in this class.

You’re clueless. Last 3 classes Michigan has recruited one 4 star, a few 3 stars, and a 2 star out of NJ. Penn State has recruited three 4 stars and a 3 star.
Michigan got both RJ Moten and Jordan Morant last year -- both composite 4* kids. They lead for Rooks in this class, and they lead for Jaeden Gould in 2022.
So, you didn't even get the basic numbers right.
Clueless. If you go back 4 years add a 5 and 4 star to PSU from NJ. Nobody to UM. Still say PSU hasn’t recruited NJ well?? Stick to crystal ball picks.
Resorting to childish insults is your schtick. But when I say "lately", I'm referring to the past few years. If you want to make your own claim with your own time horizon, be my guest and post something original for a change.
I've seen 4-year-olds behave more maturely when confronted with an opinion they don't like. Grow up.
(Funny you mention CBs.......I still recall the way you insulted people who mentioned the Wiltfong CB pick for Rucci and the suggestion that he was onto something. So, do you really want me to "stick to crystal balls"? Or only when it's something you want to hear?)
It's kind of weird though. Michigan almost seems to do better with kids that are more geographically removed from the program perhaps because they can't smell the stench from the outhouse or perhaps because they don't have constant reminders how weird Jimmah is.

The good news is, I think Trautwein is going to do great things with the O-line.
Obviously we've had our asses handed to us in OL recruiting this cycle. It is what it is.
Who else is on the O-line board? Are we a player for Yousef Mugharbil? I seem to recall him mentioning us awhile back.
Not an OL prospect, but whatever happened to Yulkeith Brown? Wasn't he on the verge of committing to us a few months ago?

Dunno - I don't get too worked up about recruiting anymore. I deleted pretty much all recruiting related items from my twitter feed a while ago but must have missed the 247 one; I didn't see it posted here so I thought I'd share.
I just read online that Diego Pounds silently committed to Penn State back in August (last month) and then decommitted to the staff last night in order to announce for UNC today. Very unfortunate.
Actually makes a lot of sense, then they whispered the silent commitment to the recruiting guys, which, lets face it, have an inside
Pounds also gave interviews earlier this week detailing why he committed to Penn State.
The possibility exists that this year's OL turns heads and perhaps an OL recruit like Pounds flips to PSU.
I would guess the staff isnt interested in Pounds anymore
I don't see an OL recruit "like Pounds" flipping. Not out of the question, but I believe it more likely that a more local OL recruit (PA/NY/NH/VA) that has already been to PSU and that is already familiar with the program and game day experience might reconsider and want into this class if the staff branches out their interest now that another target is committed elsewhere. Once a NC player commits to UNC I just don't see him coming north to a place he's not familiar with..........
Pure speculation, but maybe a player like Bennett Pitcher out of MA who already shows up as having a PSU offer and does not show up as "warm" to any program yet but still a decent offer sheet.........
Or maybe try and flip a Pitt OT commit such as Brandon Honorable out of MI that the staff's contacts in MI would know about. Although that would not be very honorable on his part to flip.......
Or maybe CJF just takes the best available players to fill the class and with the slim pickens at OT just goes after 4 top 300 OT's in the 2022 class.

No matter how you slice it, this has been a very disappointing year...as defined by CJF...and this just adds to the disappointment. Hopefully we can catch a positive bounce or two on the recruiting trail...before the signatures are affixed.I don't see an OL recruit "like Pounds" flipping.

Not unless we have a bag man who can outspend the NC bag man who suddenly convinced Pounds to change his mind.
Now that there has been time to grieve Pounds choosing UNC, what's next for the 2021 class? Which PSU target is next to commit? Rooks?
Can't see this thread being on the 2nd page.....

OT that committed to Louisville in April(never visited). Has recent tOSU and FSU offers.
Ryan with a FutureCast pick today for Dinkins/PSU.
I think with all the recent misses he became a "take". I think we are getting down to best available athlete for the last few slots for 2021.
I'm not getting excited about CB's any more.
I'll get excited after they fax in the LOI.

Gotta love when recruits put "4 star" in their bio when they are not even ranked in the top 600 in the country.
Already offering our back-up plan to our back- up plan to our back-up plan players and it's still September. Not a good sign.
