Yes, they will win some in-state battles. Yes, they have increased in profile and prestige relative to a decade ago. And yet -- they still aren't getting the kind of prospects Michigan is, as reflected by rankings and head-to-head results. I stand by my point that Michigan is far more prestigious of an offer.<br /><br />On Tennessee, I agree. They are right up there with MIchigan in prestige and have the advantage of being in the best conference (bowl results notwithstanding.)<br /><br />So Kelly has one other believer...who happens to be from Michigan.<br /><br />Modified statement:<br /><br />Michigan would be his most prestigious offer by a significant margin (besides Tenn).Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-48101550259128699642015-01-15T12:03:58.991-05:002015-01-15T12:03:58.991-05:00"Michigan would be his most prestigious offer..."Michigan would be his most prestigious offer by far."<br /><br />I don't really agree with this statement. Tennessee has a good history, and Michigan State is in a better spot with their program right now. While I agree that Michigan has a better history overall than either school, the "by far" modification seems out of touch.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-50531073046288255762015-01-15T12:00:43.330-05:002015-01-15T12:00:43.330-05:00score?score?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-86097929659456820432015-01-15T11:54:03.863-05:002015-01-15T11:54:03.863-05:00I hope he picks Tenn.

Another RB doesn't seem like the best use of a scholarship right now, and if we pass on them in this class, I think it will help get an elite back in '16. <br /><br />Nothing against Kelly, who seems like a fine prospect, but the reality is that he would come here instead of another player. Maybe they see him as a special-teams contributor a la Norfleet or Hollowell, but I'd rather go for someone who has a better chance of developing into a starter. At RB Kelly would be buried for at least the next two years, maybe longer.<br /><br />I think if he was from Toledo instead of Oak Park we wouldn't be discussing him, but there tends to be an irrational/emotional desire for fans to hold on to in-state recruits.<br /><br />There's nothing wrong with taking a 3-star kid, but a lot of coaches have looked at this guy and passed. Michigan would be his most prestigious offer by far.<br /><br /><br /><br />Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-40004243178412118872015-01-15T11:02:03.439-05:002015-01-15T11:02:03.439-05:00Chris Warren.Running Back; Rockwall, TX (Rockwall)...Chris Warren.Running Back; Rockwall, TX (Rockwall); Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 240 | 40: 4.62<br /><br />I wish Harbaugh would look at this kid. It's a little late and this dude never received an offer from the old staff. However, I'd take him any day over any of the backs UM is recruiting. Watched him play and he is legit.

I know it's only a one game sample, but it gives a nice head to head comparison of Weber and Kelly. In my opinion, Kelly is the better back in that game. I'm not saying let's throw in the towel on Weber, rather, Kelly is no slouch himself. To me, he's the type of underrated 3 star that goes to State and destroys us for years. I'd take him in a heartbeat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-51141256422477505762015-01-15T09:28:47.813-05:002015-01-15T09:28:47.813-05:00IMO you're displaying inappropriate impatience...IMO you're displaying inappropriate impatience.

The 2015 recruits haven't reacted with the enthusiasm that I thought they might. Maybe we should just bank a few scholarships for what will probably be an epic monster class in 2016.
