"I think Litaker is a few weeks out from a commitment and I like where UT sits right now. I've put in my Crystal Ball."

What happened to Thig? He used to be a great recruiter

He's still a good recruiter. He did the best job in last year's class out of all the staff members. He was big with Butler, Gray, Ignont and Reid. Those are 3 of your 5-6 highest rated recruits in last year's class. I think the Welton/Shoop factor may have caused a change in LB philosophy. More long-term reach/high ceiling type guys than instant impact types. I can't really come up with any other reason for some of the early marginal takes at that spot. Fortunately, I think they wised up a little bit by bouncing a couple LB commits late in the cycle. I still see some of the same though with how they are recruiting LB's this cycle.

That was Barton, not Brad. Brad doesn't know, he has the worst CB percentage of anyone who picks. Seriously, last. Last year was thirty something percentage. Barton, Barton is good.

Hell yea. Hoke basically recruited Michigan's entire draft class.

These recruits was watching the draft and they know Hoke recruited them and they saw Barnett go before any Bama DL plus these Recruits know now nick wears them out before they leave both ALLEN and FOSTER had shoulder problems and both dropped maybe these recruits thinking saint nick is all about his self instead of the recruits its about time, if you look at bama most of there high picks the last few years have had health problems nick is wearing them out before they leave and the NFL scouts have caught up to it.:rock:
