Since Holbrook became pres, she changed the academic standards for football. Every year UM takes a kid that we won't even offer b/c of academics. Greg Mathews is this year's example. This is a football only thing. Trust me, I'm not rubbing it in your face that OSU's academics are superior to UM's. I don't like losing these recruits one bit. Just telling you how it is. We're a state university, for goodness sake! Our goal is to provide education to the masses, not to deny all but the elite! It's pissing me off b/c the football program is being singled out and held to a higher standard.George12345 said:i totally respect Cstyle and his knowledge but to be quite frank he is wrong here....so i wont be wasting any time....its a joke to think that academic standards at OSU are higher than U of M.
Matthews, a current UM commit, wasn't even allowed to visit OSU, let alone get an offer.The question lately is: can we live through the Holbrook Era of false academic elitism? This has been a period marked by athletes, though cleared through the NCAA for admissions, being denied access to the state university and ending up enrolling and playing at places like Michigan State, Minnesota, all the SEC schools and, yes, Michigan.
In the past few seasons, OSU lost the talented Javon Ringer to MSU despite the fact that he was eligible, he wanted to come to Ohio State and the staff wanted him. More celebrated cases included Dajuan Morgan and Miles Williams. We will never know all the admissions losses because some weren’t even eligible to visit on an official recruiting trip! Think that’s not true? Take the current case of Top 100 WR Greg Matthews, who was initially turned away by the “screening committee” at OSU for a campus visit, but then was accepted for admission at Michigan…
Since the start of the JT era, UM has finished ahead of OSU in the recruiting rankings (I believe) every year but 2002. It hasn't done them much good on the field. I've seen JT coached 2 and 3 star kids out perform other schools' 5 star kids many times. Which is why I'm happy when we get a 2 star kid like Gant. If JT offers then I want the player. I'm willing to bet that JT has more national titles than any of the recruiting "experts" ranking these kids. You can see it on the field (not to mention in the nfl draft) that his talent evaluation skills are fantastic.George12345 said:which in my estimation should vault us ahead of you guys in the rankings but we will see.....coudnt be happier right now though

Right now OSU's academic standards for the football program are at or near the top of the Big Ten. Which sucks.
Ummm, a link was provided. It was only scout.com, you know, one of the biggest recruiting sites in the country? Just them.George12345 said:Greg Matthews did take a visit to Ohio State and to FSU after he committed to us....so im not sure where you got the info on he wasnt allowed to visit....trust im sure on this because all of Wolverine nation was worried he was taking an OSU visit after he comitted to us
Rivals being better than scout is pure opinion.George12345 said:ok and it was also all over Rivals that he did take a visit...probably the bigger and better site over scout
Right, tomorrow. My bad.George12345 said:isnt wednesday signing day???
