Urban Meyer and Rich Rodriguez Don't Collaborate Anymore

As we all know, Rich Rodriguez has made it a point to recruit Florida pretty hard these past couple of years. We also know that the State of Florida is coach Meyer's backyard and that Michigan has gotten a couple of recruits that other wise were probably headed to Gainesville.

With Michigan in the Big Ten and Florida in the SEC, I'm sure that doesn't bother Urban too much, right? Well... this is what Urban had to say in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel. Urban is speaking about coaches that he collaborates with regularly: I could go on and on and on. [California's] Jeff Tedford. He's one of my great friends. We always do it. Rich Rodriguez? We used to do it all the time [when he was at West Virginia], but now he's at Michigan and a competitor in recruiting so we don't anymore. [Rutgers'] Greg Schiano. I could go on and on. Mike Leach at Texas Tech. We often have conversation. [Utah's] Kyle Willingham and I talk twice a week."

Oh well, hopefully we will see the Gators in a BCS Bowl in a couple of years.



Ever wonder what would happen if Phil Knight was a Michigan Grad? Maybe this:


Just kidding. These are U of M Flint's new club team jersey designs.
  • 2010 North Carolina QB Christian LeMay received a Michigan offer last week. He will be headed to the elite 11 QB camp in California in July.

  • 4 Star DE from NY Dominique Easley (who has a Michigan offer) is going to take his time to make a decision: A decision on a school is not imminent, but over the summer Easley and Gambardella are planning on narrowing the list of likely destinations to five or six so that the distractions don't get out of hand when the fall contact period arrives.
