'14 MI WR Drake Harris (Michigan Verbal)

  • Ahh tbh just read it and it sounds like just a fee idiots rambling off about some sort of inside info they don't really have. That's not really character assassination that's just a few idiots. Most of the posts just say good get for msu

    Already happening on the Um fan front. Mass character assassination of Drake and his father is underway over on UM blogs. Most common comments now from UM fans are (1) he's vastly overrated in both sports, and (2) his Dad is crazy = we want no part of him. Comments also now bleeding over to his OL teammate whom Hoke offered....now, the story is the OL is overrated and no one was really that high on him anyway.

    Where are you reading these gems?

    Agree with Spartan Jag - Why do some of you people spend moments of your day trolling UM boards then posting their idiotic comments on this one? What do the comments of random internet UM fan posters have to do with anything? And why does every thread get polluted with this crap?

  • He actually does not play a grade down. He just happens to be young for his grade. So in aau they go by age and not grade.

    mgoblog, of course. They have been destroying the kid and his dad. I would hate to think that Drake is reading those comments. What if he was planning to commit to UM? Awkward...

  • Actually they are pulling he is not a Michigan Man, and if Drake was he would know the difference between U of M and MSU.

    ha in know, i love it as much as the next guy too (especially getting at those i go to school with) but this conversation would be better held in the 2013 thread.

    frankly i don't care that i am going to get downvoted for this, but i can tell you this is not true and may represent one or two insane fans. 1. Nobody believes Harris is overrated.. What our boards agree upon is that he may be a more valuable player in football, however can make an instant impact in both sports. We also do think there is a shot that he may outgrow his WR position, but that would only make him a much more valuable basketball prospect. 2. If anything his dad is the only thing that kept us in this race because he seems pro michigan. We have dealt with many prospects with some over involved parents, but if a parent wants to help his child make the biggest decision of his life, then more power to him. As for Doles, I haven't seen this at all. My guess is that if Hoke offered him this early, is that he really wants him, and needed to get in early on an msu lean to even has a shot. I'm not saying he is going to automatically be a five star or high four star, but to offer a guy who may seem like a long shot shows Hoke wants him.... Again, I know this goes both ways, because I have seen countless u of m posters claiming msu posters do the same thing, but most of us u of m fans feel the way i do, and a couple immature fans think any prospect we don't get we didn't want. any questions, and i would be glad to help

    No confusion here, this board operates the same way. There are a few of us, and I'm one of them, who on occasion take it too far. Whada ya gonna do, fan is short for fanatic.

    mgoblog is full of morans so it's hardly surprising.

    Being called a sunshine blower is not insulting to me and I'm proud to be one.

    You forgot to mention the part where they say the UM staff was cooling on him.

    UofM 2014 class is already full at WR...

    Your average UofM fan and I have something in common, neither of us went to UofM. Though we do share One major difference, I got Accepted.

    Yeah, there must be some things I am not seeing. It seems the coaches and recruiting gurus that cover UM were very high on Harris as a WR and said he is a special talent. There are probably a few wacky posters that say negative things (although I have not seen those yet) when it appears things aren't going to go UM's way but I think the vast majority of followers agree that Harris is very talented, UM would love to have him and that it's a very strong get for MSU (assuming he goes green). By all accounts I have seen, Harris was borderline spectacular at UM's camp. I am sure the UM coaches told him that we was wanted and I am sure the MSU coaches did the same.

  • Do you guys think he will be a basketball player that plays some football on the side or the other way around? Eventually he will have to pick one sport, this isn't like playing football and running track.

    He's so good he could play both every year if he wanted. If he really blows up in one sport, where playing at the pro level is very likely to be an option, than I suspect he will ultimately stop the other sport to concentrate his efforts.

    If both teams are doing really well, and Drake is playing, he won't want to quit either team. I'd bet part of the reason he's headed to E.L. is the chance to play on two championship caliber teams.

    Welcome to Sparta Drake!
