What does this even mean? That's a garbled mess of nonsense. 

You really did put thought into your user name, but you gave yourself way too much credit. I'll make it simple for your simple mind...

Coach had lot talent this year from Harbaugh

Coach play bad with talent. Coach show nothing to say he knows how to build program 

Billionaire now buy more talent

Coach able to find right fit? Or billionaire just buy star ratings?

It was a fairly accurate synopsis of your prior two posts. That’s why you found it to be a garbled bunch of nonsense- because it was. You said he was an idiot for not having a QB. I said to look at the timeline when he got the job. At that time, 23/25 top ranked portal QBs were already committed. Not having options, does not make him an idiot as you claimed. The great players you claim that Harbaugh left him with weren’t there for the most part. They had 18 guys on the 2 deep at the combine in February. That means they weren’t on the team this season  There were some high level underclassmen that remained, but several of them were in and out of the line up with injuries. When I pointed out that calling him an idiot for these circumstances was a bad take, you switched up saying he’s just buying players regardless of fit. Players that he’s been recruiting for the entire cycle, but couldn’t compete for because Michigan’s recruiting NIL was virtually nonexistent 3 months ago. People now finally see what way the wind is blowing and stepped up to make competitive bids on players they’ve been recruiting. Underwood grew up a Michigan fan and wanted to go there - see his commitment video. He refused to come there after he felt Harbaugh prioritized QBs in the south early in his recruitment. There are reports out there that Michigan only got back into the picture after Moore took the job and prioritized him, but until recently, LSU made a much bigger commitment. The final figure it took to sign him was just great negotiating on his family’s part. The DE Marshall that just flipped originally committed to Michigan until Auburn came with an offer that Michigan couldn’t match at the time. Ellison changed that. This is his first class, so of course he’s doing things differently. It’s the first class he’s recruited as the head coach. Saying he sucks because he’s using a different strategy than Harbaugh without knowing shit about his methods is par for the course for you. I know speaking definitively on a subject you have no real knowledge or understanding of is common in this board, but you take it to new heights. Congratulations.  I can guarantee you that I’ve followed Michigan more closely than you. Will Moore be a good coach? TBD. Is he an idiot? Absolutely not.

Gerry made a point about their OC hire. Said he's from Washington State and has always been an air raid guy. His OL coach played OL for Leach at Tech and has been with this guy at several different stops. 

Does Fasusi really think he's not bringing his own guy? Does he really think air raid is the best system to develop him for the NFL?

Seems kind of stupid on the surface. 

From what I’ve gathered, the mom thinks Austin is the devil and doesn’t want him here. So none of that really matters unless she changes her mind.

That's weird since they live in Lewisville. Unless it's some political dumbassery and not big city

You really think that UCLA won’t be winning the B1G in 2 years if this is what’s required?

You do NOT want to get in an Asian Poon War with UCLA.

This has to be incorporated into a new thread title. I’ll offer “Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Calls and Asian Poon Wars,” but I’m sure one of you clever bastards can top it.

Calling my shot ...no matter where Fasusi goes, I predict he will be in the portal in 2 years.

I've watched his Hudl like a dozen times trying to see what everyone else seems to see and I just don't get it.  He's basically standing in his stance.  Why?  I'm guessing that he either lacks good knee bend or he's slow to getting out of a 3-point stance.  So, he either gets bull rushed if he's standing or gets run around in a 3-point stance. 

I get why Texas is after him, but I've never really cared one way or the other about getting him.  I'm way more bummed about losing Mills and his mean streak ...although I think he's a guard long-term.

I think they (Mills and Fasusi) may both be guards. But I haven’t watched a ton of either in pass pro.

Yeah, I could see that. 

If you go back and watch Banks in HS it was clear he was a stud tackle.  I just don't get that same feeling from Fasusi.  

And Mills, while seemingly too slow to be a tackle, plays with the fire and mean streak that you love to see in linemen.

But who knows, I'm just a wanna-be GM keyboard warrior.

UT has to have a hotter Asian alum who Ellison wants to bang. Just send him down to the PCL on a Saturday. 

I don’t know if I qualify but I’ll give it a shot. Plus I only live about 90 minutes from his office.

And unless SEC transfer rules change, he would be ineligible to come here without sitting a year, right?  He may redshirt anyway, but it would seem to remove any opportunity to play Year One if he’s capable and needed.

He could come here anyway because he'd be a redshirt candidate.
