I'm not saying that Michigan CAN"T get elite talent. I'm saying that they HAVEN'T gotten any. And I said at the time Conry was hired is that: this is gonna take time.

I'm supportive of both UMich, and Conry. I'm reacting to the strawman that gymman is setting up........that Conry is failing, and HE is the reason Michigan isn't meeting gymman's wholly invented standard.

Conry needs time to get this very new program rolling. That's all I'm saying, and nothing more.

I was going to add that Conry is fine. Just needs time. It took coach Shay maybe 8 years before he had a .500 record at Yale. I was also just pointing out that once you win, they will come. You need depth of talent to win. 3 or 4 really good players isn’t enough.

Absolutely! Even with my high standards, by no means do I think that his job is, or should be, in jeopardy. However, with him being in year six, I think now, or very soon, is the time where overall improvement needs to start being shown. Will this be the season it happens?

I agree with more time, but please he has plenty of talent on this team, Army gets no 4/5 star players and they have winning seasons, I would also add character counts when recruiting a player not just talent.

The rankings are meaningless. Army gets good players and then develops them.

He definitely has talent. And this year, it will be much more experienced talent.

Theoretically, Michigan has a better shot at Virginia than perhaps they might later in the season. Virginia has a lot of guys banged up and out including Lasalla who may not play. Face offs should be an advantage for Michigan in this game. If they can control the ball, who knows.
