SIGNING DAY - Why all the hype?

I don't follow recruiting that much, but with all the news outlets and everyone talking about "Signing Day" as if it were the NFL draft, it's kind of tough not to catch a few snippets of what is happening here and there.

Yes, Gatorland, the great Urban and company, appears to have landed the best recruiting class of the century or perhaps the millenium. And they haven't even played a game yet! Let's see where they are 3 years from now....

Anyway, for anyone that wants to know how Michigan did, the Maize and Brew blog did the best job of capturing and summarizing the recruits in one spot. mgoblog has these player broken down in almost insane detail which, quite frankly, bores the hell out of me. However, once these players don the Maize and Blue, I'll be looking and seeing what we've got.

Until then, sigining day is just that. Signing day. Michigan hasn't won another game, yet.

P.S. The Dorsey situation isn't worth commenting on, even though the Freep believes that this kid is "evil incarnate" and that Michigan has sold it's soul in order to win football games. Frankly, I believe if the kid deserves a shot and the coaches have talked to him, his parents, and they believe they can keep him in check, why should anyone challenge that decision? Unless, of course, it blows up and they have to throw the kid off the team - read Boubacar Cissoko.

Adieu.
