Even if your search is only Jethro UM (synonymous terms, really) it's still #1.
fwiw, we're also #1 if you search Jethro Barwis. Fantastic.
Great read here. Wonder why RichGod bolted from WVU for Michigan after turning down the Alabama job???

I hope they're right. I heard today that Pryor may actually wait now to decide until he has time to take all the visits he wants to take, meaning we WON"T know his decision one week from now.
Come on.
The things they said in that clip are true. NOWHERE else can he get the immediate starting job, the best offensive scheme for his talents, and a prominent school. Seriously, nowhere else. Every other school after him can only give him 2 out of 3 at best.
But now I guess I just have to trust that RR will find someone that can make his offense work. If not Pryor, then someone. However, Pryor would come with expectations of National Championships. Another QB and we'll have to see the development.
I seriously, seriously think Pryor could win a championship THIS upcoming season at UM - even if Herbstreet thinks UM will only win 6 games this year.
when asked how many football championships michigan would win in pryor's 4 years if he enrolled, barwis set the over / under at 4.5, and then took the over.

Jethro: Allow me a little "poetic License" with regard to Pryor.
He's probably going to end up at Oregon. I think that if even an INKLING of all this shit is true, OSU is going to be deluged with reporters and detective types who are going to spend the next four years prying under every rock, turd, and corvette in the entire state. It could possibly be that even for Jim "Al Capone" Tressel, that would be too much. If Pryor goes to Michigan, he bring some baggage.
I think he WANTS badly to go to UM. I really do. However, if even an INKLING of this shit is true, he is beholden to OSU. Oregon makes sense. UM then takes the kid who is committed to Oregon now (Harper) and BJ Daniels, and Pryor goes on to become a Duck.
logical, assuming OSU is / was cheating.
so is it safe to assume that if pryor goes anywhere but michigan that extraordinarilly foul play was involved? i think so.
PRYOR TO MICHIGAN IM TELLING YOU TRUST ME ITS ALL BUT A DONE DEAL
I seriously don't want Pryor to come, just so I can laugh at you.
jk

Here's the word on Pryor's latest drama:
Pryor may push back college choice
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
High school football players can sign a binding letter of intent with a college, starting next Wednesday. But Jeannette quarterback Terrelle Pryor might not sign with anyone that day.
Pryor had planned to announce his college decision live on ESPN next Wednesday. But he said today he might wait at least a few days to make his choice.
"I'd say it's about 50-50 that I'll push things back," Pryor said.
One of the main reasons Pryor might not sign next Wednesday is because he is thinking about making an official visit to the University of Oregon some time next week.
Earlier this week, it seemed the race was down to Ohio State and Michigan because Pryor wasn't going to visit Oregon. If Pryor visits Oregon, the Ducks will still have a chance at landing him.
Pryor also said yesterday Penn State is not out of the running. Penn State coach Joe Paterno visited with Pryor at Jeannette yesterday. Paterno's son, Jay, Penn State's quarterbacks coach, and PSU defensive coordinator Tom Bradley also were there. They also visited with Pryor's father at his home.
Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch and Pryor's mother were in on the meeting with the Penn State coaches at Jeannette. Batch is helping Pryor in the recruiting process as a mentor.
"It went OK," Pryor said of the meeting. "I just don't know about the area up there. I don't know if I'd like being in that kind of area."
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel and Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez plan to attend Pryor's basketball game Saturday night and meet with him afterward. Jeannette football coach Ray Reitz said Rodriguez is planning to bring seven assistant coaches with him.
Did we stop recruiting Vaughn Carraway? It seemed like he was a huge UM lean for a while and the new staff was interested, I thought they even helped our chances with him.
Then I see today that he picked Temple. Temple? I didn't even know they had a football program.
In other WR news, I see that TJ Lawrence apparently made a decision but I have no idea where. I really love articles like that. Biggest story on rivals page but no indication of the choice. You go to the player's page and it isn't updated yet. Thanks for dragging it out one more day because I'm not a subscriber.
Well, If Pryor wants to drag this on AFTER feb 6, I say screw him...Get after BJ Daniels...Im really getting sick and tired of the perceived Prima Donna show
Jethro:
TJ Lawrence has pretty much been conceded to Florida by Scout. The best hopefuls for UM right now appear to be JT Floyd and Terrence Robinson. Beyond those two, even Perry seems to be causing some concern for Scout at least.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Perry is going to go Green. Part of the problem seems to be that UM has thrown a monkey wrench into alot of the recruiting with the new hire. By that I mean that RR has gone out and talked to alot of kids that weren't targets before, and some other schools are of course going after UM recroots (like Brandon Moore, who seems to be up in the air right now between Michigan and Miami).
Of course, the recruiting services need to keep the people on pins and neeldes with teasers, so they are adding fuel to the fire.
Tahoe is doing all he can to gather the info as it comes in for you guys, but somehow, even TAHOE can't seem to get any answers these days! It's a circus!
It appears that UM has somehow arranged a visit with Harper (though that is not confirmed yet, but Tahoe is on it), the Oregon committ at QB, and BJ Daniels and Justin Feagin are coming in this weekend.
JT FLOYD commits to the BIG BLUE MACHINE gotta love it GO BLUE JT is a big score for Rich. Now if we can only steal a few more we will be looking at a superb recruiting class
THIS JUST IN
It seems pretty apparent now that JT FLOYD has indeed committed to Michigan
EDIT
Just confirming what thetwins has already reported.
In case you don't know Floyd, here's his profile. This could get the old snowball rolling. It is RichGod's second recruit (Hill), and he stole this one from Phat Phil Phulmer of Tennessee.
http://scoutcombines.scout.com/a.z?s...=1&nid=2434182
A question..Someone mentioned above that this was a big score for RR....A 3 star safety a big score? Can someone give me an example of why I should be excited?
Here's another article about the Ryan Mallett situation, this time from Sports Illustrated.
Let Tahoe know what you guys think. The next couple days aren't going to be too eventful on the recruiting trail, so it's time for some Michigan Football talk to fill in the down time.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...ett/index.html
The ugly parting of the ways between West Virginia and former coach Rich Rodriguez continues, longer and more drawn out than even the college bowl season.
It has been a bitter battle, with each side hurling recriminations at the other and haggling over money, as in any nasty divorce. The latest development is the offer from Rodriguez, who broke his contract with the Mountaineers to take the Michigan job, to pay West Virginia $1.5 million to leave him alone.
Seems like a reasonable attempt to settle things, except for the fact that his contract with the university called for a $4 million buyout.
But the two parties will eventually come to some sort of agreement, and frankly, we couldn't care less what that compromise is, since both sides have become equally tiresome.
Rodriguez is just another ambitious coach, a native son of West Virginia who swore his love for his state and his school before abruptly bolting for a higher-profile program and a bigger paycheck.
West Virginia is a big-time football program that ought to realize disloyal coaches are part of the business, instead of embarrassing itself by acting like a jilted girlfriend who keeps bugging her ex to get every last CD back. May they come to a meeting of the minds soon, because they're boring the rest of us to tears.
The only people to root for in this whole flame war are the players caught in the crossfire, the collateral damage -- most notably quarterback Ryan Mallett.
Mallett, a freshman, was supposed to be Michigan's next great quarterback, until the Wolverines hired Rodriguez to replace Lloyd Carr. Rodriguez's spread-option offense requires a quick, nimble quarterback who is as dangerous with his feet as with his arm -- not a classic dropback passer like Mallett.
It was telling that one of Rodriguez's first calls upon taking the Michigan job was to high school stud Terrelle Pryor, a QB who seems to fit his offense perfectly. Mallett didn't need it to be spelled out for him: his services at Michigan were no longer required.
He had essentially two choices -- stay at Michigan and quite possibly sit on the bench the rest of his career, or transfer to another Division I school and sit out a season. He chose the latter, transferring to Arkansas two weeks ago.
So next fall, while Rodriguez is coaching the Wolverines, and while West Virginia is battling to make it back to another BCS bowl, Ryan Mallett won't be able to do anything on Saturdays except sit and watch and wait.
It is grossly unfair that Rodriguez can jump from one school to another without missing so much as a snap, that West Virginia will get a few million dollars in return for his departure, while Mallett gets nothing but a year of inactivity. Forget the money that will change hands between the coach and the university, the one who is paying most dearly in this scenario is a player who had nothing to do with it all. But that's the way it is in Division I college sports -- teenage players are held to a higher standard of commitment than the adults who coach their teams.
Mallett, by the way, might not have made the wisest choice in heading for Arkansas, where his new coach is Bobby Petrino, who abandoned the Atlanta Falcons with three games left in the season when the Razorbacks came calling. Given Petrino's lack of regard for a little thing like a contract, it won't be a shocker if Mallett has another coach leave him high and dry before his eligibility expires.
In a perfect world, athletes wouldn't base their college selection so heavily on a coach or a system, but in the real world, that's often how it's done. When a player has the circumstances change as drastically as they did for Mallett at Michigan, he shouldn't be penalized by having to sit out a year in order to find a better situation, any more than Rodriguez should have to wait a year because he wanted a better job.
This isn't to say that athletes should be able to jump from school to school with complete freedom, but in the case of a coaching change like the one at Michigan, the NCAA ought to have the flexibility to allow a transfer without the requisite one-year waiting period. Let Rich Rodriguez pay for his decision to switch schools. Ryan Mallett shouldn't have to.
Of course, the reason for the one-year waiting period for transfers is to discourage players from abandoning a school before they have fulfilled their commitment to it. Gee, where on earth would they get the idea to do that?
[END]
Now this Mallett situation goes deeper than either A)him being a big crybaby, and B)him transfering because UM has gone to the spread.
As we all saw, UM ran a sort of "spread" at the Cap One bowl that seemed like something Mallett could walk into and flourish, possibly winning ten Heisman's and 18 National Championships in three years. No doubt that would be an unprecedented run of success.
But again, the other side of the coin is that Mallett, according to more than a few people Tahoe has stashed away in Ft Schembechler, has been a problem since Day One.
Here is some evidence as to why Mallett may be at fault, and Arkysaw is the best place for him:
A) Professors on campus were known to be very interested in milk cartons, in an attempt to see if Mallett was on any of them, since he was never seen in class.
B) The "on air" blow ups between Manningham and Mallett at the Wisconsin game may not have been Manningham bitching about not getting passes. Mallett was not well liked by the team, and there have been rumors of Mallett being generally regarded as a "Dick head".
C) Mallett, to me, seems not to have had an open ear for what RichGod had to say. It also seems Mallett's mommy and daddy were doing all of his talking. I wonder what would have happened had Mallett stuck around, worked hard, and learned the offense????
Here's one reason: Maybe you suffer some latent homosexual tendencies and you think he's really handsome? I'm NOT saying that is the case, but you did ask for ONE reason to get "excited".Quote:

Well, this appears to be a case of a RR type of athlete that Barwis can turn into a monster.
Here's his Scout evaluation:
Floyd has a knack for always being around the ball and making big plays. He shows good instincts and great anticipation. Floyd has good cover skills and is fearless in the middle. He's strong in run support and can cover a lot of ground because of his great speed and reaction time. Offensively he shows excellent hands, body control and concentration. He can make the defender miss or run right by him. Floyd also has good vision and a burst.
Now, first, he is from Souf Carolina, and area RichGod might want to open up for Michigan. Could be partly a legacy recruit.
Secondly, if TWO schools in the SEC go after a guy (probably more, but his final top three were UM, Tenn, and SCar I beleive), he's GOTTA be good, right? LOL
I think it shows that UM is going to be a heavy playa in the souf. But your right, though, a three star may not be all that exciting.
Now tommy, that is your "I Question RichGod and Barwis" mulligan.
Next time you question RichGod, be sure you have a bag to put your teeth in.
TY......Quote:

According to Scout, it's OVER between BJ Daniels and Michigan. The feeling seems to be that there were "reasons" that his final two are Memphis and Southern Florida.
So now what? RichGod is turning his efforts toward the Oregon committ, Harper

Well, well. It's looking more and more like it's gonna be Steven Threet at the helm next year!!!
Sorry twins, Pryor is NOT coming to Ann Arbor.
Fuck it, we recruited Threet at some point thinking there was talent there. Lets see what Rich and He-Who-Is-Called-Barwis can do with him.
In a way I'm excited about seeing Threet there. Why? Because I want him to put up big numbers in the modified spread, bigger numbers than Mallett ever puts up.
Kind of an "F You Ryan".
Just throwing this out there and feel free to answer or not........
If we go into next year with Threet at QB and no "Black Ass Dual Threat" QB to speak of does this hurt us or help us in our '09 recruiting of QB's???
I'm thinking its a good thing that there will be less competition, but I wonder if a QB sees our offense (I'm thinking Henne in the bowl game) and wonders why we aren't the same 'read option' offense they saw at WVU?
