OT Jordan Diamond will announce tonight at 8PM ET, between UM, Arkansas, Auburn and Wisconsin. It's hard to say where he's going, but I'm not as confident as earlier in the week. Hopefully UM will land one of Kozan and Diamond, but really in recruiting there is no guarantee. A couple months ago I picked him to go to Wisconsin before UM came back into it, but maybe the SEC has lured him in?
I'm going to guess Arkansas because Wisconsin has lost a lot of staff, and Auburn isn't a very good program when they don't have Cam Newton leading them.
There will be no live blog for fear of disappointment.
Come on Benji!!! Have some faith! Didn't you seen the grin on Hoke's face when a reporter asked him if he was expecting anymore recruits in this class?! Have faith in Coach Funk and Hoke!
ReplyDeleteWe lost out on a recruit because we were too far from home, here's hoping we get one because we AREN'T too far from home. GO BLUE!!!
ReplyDeleteI have hope but not a lot. UM could really use both Diamond and Kozan. If I had to guess it's 50/50 between UM and Sec. I am not real sure what he meant by his tweet" I will shock the world".
ReplyDeleteI think he means that he won't pick any of those teams and he'll go to Slippery Rock instead, THAT would shock the world. SLIPPERY ROCK REPRESENT!!!!
Deleteif we dont get diamond im going to rageee
ReplyDeleteI'm raging either way, had two roommates turn 21 this week, gonna be crazy!!!
Deletehahah damn sounds like a good time man, If diamond goes Blue tonight we all need to cheers and drink a beer for the 12 class and the upcoming 13 season
DeleteAfter listing to Sam Webb this morning I don't have high hopes.
ReplyDeleteAny chance Kozan is waiting to see if Diamond picks Michigan? Maybe he's worried about too many OL in this class?
Kozan will be the only C we take this year. He shouldn't be worried about playing time when he's the only one at his O-Line position in the class.
ReplyDeleteHave no fear, Chucky Gruden said:
ReplyDeleteDiamond = Blue,... watch & learn.
Look at this BS! I say we get the University to officially take the "state" off of ohio on everything the UM produces including all scoreboard graphics! Go Blue!!

It's amazing how every expert and UM fan had Diamond as a UM lock on Tuesday. Friday comes rolling around and the experts and some UM fans jump ship. I also love how TomVH, Allen Trieu and Sam Webb get our hopes up for all these recruit one minute only to let us down the next.
ReplyDeleteI think we sign diamond, kozan to auburn. How many 5* guys do u think we will get in 2013?
ReplyDeleteI say they both go to Blue Mountain State because Thad decided to stay for his senior year. JS!
ReplyDeleteThad was a senior when the show started.
DeleteActually he was a junior. There was/maybe still is a second season where Thad returned his senior season. He was just a captain his junior year. I got so excited when I seen a second season. My thoughts was if Thad was not in it it would not be worth watching but he was! LOL
DeleteAnyone know if it is true that Chris Bryant is attending the Diamond announcement? I think I read that somewhere the other day. It would be a good sign.
ReplyDeleteThom is back - must have your nutz repaired there huh sonny boy ?. Or are they implants. Yeah I said Diamond to Michigan because of the Bryant factor.
ReplyDeleteNot going to back off. If I whiff, then let it be. Unlike you, pretending to be a UM fan. Oh yeah.
Chucky,
DeleteMommy let you out of your room. Does mommy know what a bad bad mouth you have. Poor little man, trying to act so big and grown up. Someday you might make it. Until then the rest of us will have to put up with your rantings and fits. Little Chucky,
have a nice day little man.
ackleyrobbie are you having a bad day like Chucky. Cheer up things could be very very bad for you - you could be Chucky's little playmate. Chucky would like a playmate.
DeleteCould be worse you could be a OSU fan. Thats a real bad day.
DeleteHey, Chucky found another playmate. You boys be good or I might send tigerman after you.
DeleteSeriously? That's some awesome smack talk! LOL. Oh brother.
DeleteI'll pick Diamond to Michigan for another reason. Last year (June) there was an interview on MGoBlog with TomVH and Mrs. Diamond and it just continues to make me believe that we are #1.
ReplyDeletehttp://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-ol-jordan-diamonds-mom-updates-his-recruitment
I know that much has happened since then but........
I do not know why everyone is saying Kozan is waiting to see where Diamond is going. Then go somewhere else. They don't even play the same position. The only thing I can think of is that these two just don't like each other.
ReplyDeleteHere is a thought...
DeleteIf Diamond is going to "Shock the World," maybe he called Coach Ferentz at Iowa and said he was going there and they took his verbal. Due to that decision, Kozan feels there are too many linemen in the class and is waiting to see if Diamond follows through. If Diamond goes to the Hawkeyes then he goes to plan B,C,D. Just a thought.
If Kozan wants to go to Iowa then he would have committed there on NSD. Not wait a few extra days and let Diamond steal his spot. This still make no scents they don't play the same position. Center, tackle and guard are all different positions.
DeleteBut what if he means by saying shock the world is that maybe he talked to Kozan and they both decided to go blue.. Something happened that Kozan didn't sign with Iowa and for awhile I was thinking what Caleb put but either way the kid is 18 years old and you can never take a kids word cuz they change their minds like they do there underwear....
DeleteI believe that Diamond was going to tell the coaches where he was planning on signing and if for some reason Diamond chose Iowa, maybe that took Iowa's last spot. Idon't know just a random idea.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOne thought I have heard is that Kozan wants to go to Auburn, which only has one spot available. Auburn is telling him that they would prefer Diamond. Therefore, if Diamond goes elsewhere, Kozan goes to Auburn. Accordingly, Kozan has to wait for Diamond.
ReplyDeleteOf course this is merely speculation based on the radio silence from both camps.
Now that I can believe.
DeleteThat's what I heard also and that Auburn thinks they have Diamond.
DeleteDiamond is going to Auburn...book it! As to your comment about Auburn not being a good program w/o Cam, they did have a down year this year b/c of losing Cam, Fairley, and 29 seniors, but they were certainly a good program before Cam came and they will continue to be good in the future (2 top 5 recruiting classes the past two years). They've certainly been a much better program than Michigan over the past 10 or so years.
ReplyDeleteWrong my friend - SO WRONG about Auburn being much better that UM over the last 10 years or so. 3 Rose 1 Sugar Bowl - Auburn has not been to 4 bcs bowl games since 2005 - so do not get that confused.
DeleteHave they been more stabled since the RRod regime to present date ? - Absolutely - that I will grant - but don't give me that crap about them being better than UM since 2000 or 2002 to present date. BS !
Let's see here Tim Michigan vs Aubrun right now who you got... I've got Michigan all day son....
DeleteEither of them.are going blue the 2012. Lass is complete it is time to do us on the 2013 class who h will be even better then this class.
ReplyDeleteAnd Auburn has only been. Erred then Michigan during the rich rod years not before and not after get your facts right.
ReplyDeleteBetter not erred
DeleteGoBlue2002,
ReplyDeleteLets say your right and both want to go to Auburn. If that's the case then that means UM should land one of them. Unless Diamond goes to Ark. Then UM loses both.
I am not getting a good feeling about Diamond. But I do keep thinking about what his mother said over the summer. She said academics will be a big factor in where he goes and she wants to see him play. UM is closer then Auburn and Ark.
Either way I believe Gibbs gets a offer on Saturday.
Optimus PeeWee Prime @PeeWeeUofM9456
ReplyDeleteHey #GoBlueFam I don't want to see you guys get down on Diamonds decision like we did with Garnett how about we jus Tweet about the #team133
---
That's not a good sign.
This is from Peewee,Diamond isn't coming thts a fact keep ur heads up. On twitter
ReplyDeleteDid anyone see the article about brett bielema taking about urban meyers recruiting.... atleast we're not the only ones who recognize his shadyness
DeleteI commented the other day about UM 2013 needs. I was wondering what everyone else thought UM needs are? Please feel free to post them.
ReplyDeleteDont forget that when scout.com predicted the commits they had Diamond going to michigan....they got almost every prediction correct
ReplyDeleteKozan set to announce within the next 36 hours....
ReplyDelete7 times in a row and ten times since 2000. That's how many times Michigan has been ANAL-PROBED by Ohio State! War Damn Eagle! Come on guys, come back with some of that subjective crap like, "Auburn sucks without Cam" or some of that mess, but you can't pull out the facts cause they aren't there. Auburn has 30 wins in 3 years and 5 SEC West titles since 2000. That is the hardest division of any conference in football! Michigan blows! 7 in a row to Ohio State who went on to get blown out by SEC teams in bowl games! WAR DAMN EAGLE!
ReplyDeleteIf I was Benji I would not let losers like you post comments on here...
DeleteOf those times when Auburn beat Alabama. Alabama sucked, so don't tell me you beat the best team in the country 8 of 12 years. You also lost to Alabama 4 of those times most were when they sucked. And losing 27 seniors, isn't it about the team? Just because you lose seniors doesn't mean you can't compete. Good teams have players that can step up and that is why your program is so inconsistent. Since that 1994 season you bring up we have won as many national championships as you have. So shut the fuck up and take that shit back to the Southeastern Cheaters Conference. Oh and why don't you pay a couple players to come in and fill in for you since you lost 27 seniors. That's what you did with Cam Newton right?
DeleteTigerman, you may be right, but we still beat the SEC's greatest player Tim Tebow in a bowl game while Ohio was getting blown out. Post this stuff on the OSU board instead, cuz here you're forcing your point. May I remind you Florida dominated the 90's in the SEC? It all goes in a revolutionary pattern, Michigan's time is coming back. And we beat Ohio this year, history now means nothing. Also, Ohio was cheating during their decade of dominance while Michigan wasn't. Take your arguments elsewhere, they mean nothing. Thank you, GO BLUE!!
DeleteWar Eagle lol. You know you guy suck without Cam Newton. Hell Paul Finebaum said you guys are a better fit for the sunbelt conference. I believe him. For the record the last sec team that we played was Florida with Tim Tebow. I wasn't to impressed. I really thought the sec was a legitimate conference until then. My guess is if you'll played up here for bowl week you probably wouldn't win a game. Well good luck next year hope y'all stop inbreeding. Go Blue!
DeleteTigerman,
ReplyDeleteWhile much of what you posted is true, you exhibit the level of class one usually associates with fans of the National Champion Crimson Tide. The best team in Alabama.
We need Diamond and Kozan, but if they don't commit to us, so be it...we want them true BLUE!!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder people poison your worshiped trees. Take Thom and go back to your own sites, or won't they let Thom and you in.
ReplyDeleteTigerman,War Damn Eagle, Auburn = ALABAMA'S BIAAAATTTTTCCCCCHHHHH!
ReplyDeleteTigerwoman, you are a HOMO!!! Like Alabama say's F auburn!
ReplyDeleteEvery team gets a little success on occasion enjoy it because Michigan is on the rise and just like in past decades will make Auburn appear like the average program they have always been outside of a good season here and there.
ReplyDeleteAuburn Sucks. If I remember right i think they pay their players too. SEC conference is the worst if you want more proof go to oversignings.com. They do not discipline anyone didn't LSU players get arrested and only sit out 2 games? Stonum was red shirted for a DUI then thrown off the team. Get out of here and go back to the Sucks equally conference!
ReplyDeleteI guess one way to "shock the World" is to make everyone believe you're going to Auburn and then switch to...
ReplyDeleteI don't really care which one we get as long as we grab one of them. The depth on our OL is scary.
On a relate note, recruiting drives me crazy. 17-18 year olds are the most inconsistent, insecure, indecisive people on the planet and yet we "expect" them to make a decision and stick by it, or better yet, just make a damn decision.
Also known as Somebody Else Cheating conference. Remarkable that Auburn and Michigan State have a lot in common. "Little Brothers to Alabama and Michigan.
ReplyDeleteAnd Michigan is Ohio's little brother. All one little happy family
ReplyDeleteI realize I am repeating myself and this won't do any good but can we please stop responding to the random posters just trying to get a reaction. If they get their enjoyment out of coming onto another teams website and taunting the fans, that't fine, responding only encourages them to do it more. Don't feed the trolls.
ReplyDeleteWhile I would love Diamond to go Blue at this point I would rather have Kozan because I think Michigan needs interior lineman more. I am not 100% on the depth chart, but how many scholarship interior lineman does Michigan have beyond Omameh, Barnum, Miller, Bryant and now Kalis?
jgrubbs, I agree. However Thom and Tigerman are so fun to f with. It's hard for them to start a war when they have no ammunition upstairs :).
DeleteDon't need ammunition, you guys supply it. We have all the fun.
DeleteSee ya all after Diamond goes Blue, Blue Hens that is
What are we....12 years old and delusional. First off this blog is attracting the likes of fans on Bucknuts with the profanity and stupidity. This blog was never like that. We were all Michigan fans that came on and shared in intelligent dialogue and information. Some of us are starting to sound like unintelligent, ill informed jackasses.
ReplyDeleteTigerman has his opinions and he can express them until Benji bans him but in the meantime why are some of you lowering yourself to his level.
Unfortunately I agree with some things he says. Like it or not, Auburn would be a tough game for us right now. We were good this season but not great. You need to look beyond W/L records and some of the stats and look at our overall play. If you do that and take the goggles off I think you'll see that there was many things that we could have done better (as individuals and as a team). I don't know who would win if we played Auburn next week. I really believe that they might. The difference is how clean each of the programs is and what kind of ethics and integrity our coaches are instilling in our young players.
Please. If you're going to talk about Michigan Men and the Michigan way stop sounding like a$$holes.
Finally a voice of reason. Thank you. Someone says something you doesn't like then the foul mouths take over.If you don't agree with what someone says, just ask them to explain what they mean. You don't have to f this and f that.
DeleteI had fun pulling a few chains the last few days to make a point. I think I did.
Now it's off to another site.
I mean, we'd probably be "as good as auburn" if all we cared about was football.
ReplyDeleteThom, you can't talk, Tressel cheated every year he was there. Clarett even called him out on it and no one believed him because "Tressel is a stand-up, honest, great man." Woops, your last decade of football means nothing because you got caught scarlett handed CHEATING. Michigan dominated you in the 90's the right way, Ohio is Michigan's little brother, you know, the jealous one who does bad things to get attention. Man you Ohio guys just don't make sense. Michigan rocks and you know it, why, cuz you're on this site and not your own stirring up trouble. Take a hike and see you next year! GO BLUE!!!
ReplyDeleteTigerman -- is it your point that Auburn has the better TEAM, or the better PROGRAM? It can't be the better team because the last time Michigan and Auburn stepped off a football field, one left as BCS Sugar Bowl Champions at 11-2. The other stepped out of the Chic-freaking-filet bowl at a woeful 8-5. So by the last measure, the better team is Michigan. It's MICHIGAN.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, you must be trying to make the case that Auburn has the better program. And in making your case, you seem willing to go back into history. Fine, we can go there. For example, you proudly note that "Auburn has . . . 30 wins in 3 years."
You call that a program, chump? A program looks like this:
• More all-time wins than any other Division I-A school (877)
• Leads the Big Ten with 42 league championships
• 124 All-America first team award winners
• Named National Champions 11 times, including 1997
• 33 consecutive postseason bowl appearances
• National attendance leader 35 of the last 36 seasons
• 223 consecutive Michigan Stadium home games with crowds in excess of 100,000
• First college-owned football stadium to seat over 100,000
• Michigan is the most televised program in NCAA history with 406 TV appearances
• The Wolverines have been ranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll in 37 of the last 42 seasons
All-Time NCAA Division I-A Wins
Through 2009-10 Season
Place School Wins
1. Michigan 877
2. Texas 845
3. Notre Dame 837
4. Nebraska 826
5. Ohio State 818
That's a program, son. You don't see Auburn mentioned on the last list because it is way down at number 13. We've never even been number 2, let alone 13.
Now take your foul-mouthed schoolboy rhetoric and your delusions of program grandeur and kindly leave our board.
Nicely put dg62!!! I think Auburn should now learn the words to "Hail to Victors" and sing it!

DeleteI'm pretty sure Michigan has 895 wins. I could be wrong though.
DeleteIn the end, Michigan Men will make a difference in the world we live in..., Auburn - probably, not so much!
ReplyDeleteI dont think Diamond goes blue, but then again anything is possible. Its a good class already... Its a improvement from last years haul, which has netted us some quality talent. I think that 2013 will be even better. I have seen consistent improvement the last two classes. Best wishes where Diamond chooses to go, but with or without him I am pleased with this years class bottom line.
ReplyDeleteits ok guys
ReplyDeletetigerman is just upset that his cousin left him for cleetus beecuhzz he dunn got him a fancii nuu traylerr.
war eggill bamalama lamabama yeee hawww bamlama
I remember Blue kicking the crap out of Florida, and beating Auburn last time they played!!!
ReplyDeleteI think we can probably take down the most valuable recruit poll on the home page... We didnt get any of the four lol! Go blue diamond!
ReplyDeleteHi tigerdude,
ReplyDeleteDid that tree die yet?
BTW, Why do you use an LSU (tiger-dude) name but cheer for some kind of eagle?
DeleteGot out of work late. Texting you guys while driving. Hope I don't crash. Just want to know where I can tune in to hear or see the announcement?
ReplyDeleteNo matter where Jordan Diamond commits to I wish him well.
ReplyDeleteDiamond = Bookend Mauler. Hail Hail
ReplyDeleteany word yet?
ReplyDeletefeel'n a little greedy.., I'll take Diamond and Kazon.., thank you I feel better.., Go Blue!!!
ReplyDeleteDrum roll please......

ReplyDeleteIndeed!
ReplyDeleteAuburn =(
ReplyDeleteAUBURN
ReplyDeleteDiamond to Auburn...like most people thought recently
ReplyDeleteHey, anyone know when the diamond announcement is?
ReplyDeleteDiamond goes to Auburn :'(
ReplyDeleteAuburn, official.
ReplyDeletedamn...
ReplyDeletenot michigan auburn
ReplyDeleteHow does that shock the world? Oh well, GO BLUE!!!
ReplyDeleteHow is that a shock?
ReplyDeleteAuburn... lame. whatever we move on
ReplyDeleteMaybe when these kids say they want good academics they're just practicing their interviewing skills?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't buy that academic stuff for a second. Not ripping on Diamond, they ALL say it, freaking Demar Dorsey said that too. It's like a politician saying he cares about anyone who isn't rich. Hot air.
DeleteThink this will help Kozan with a decision?
ReplyDeleteThat Blows.
ReplyDeletewe struck out horribly to finish the recruiting season, very unfortunate, BUT we still have the #6/7 Class; Taylor Lewan / Kalis will be manning the tackle positions / Diamond might not have a had a lot of playing time. Really hoping for Kozan, but I think he was waiting to see if Auburn would've had a spot open for him but turns out it was Diamond who took it / he'll run back to Iowa. Time to forget about the past couple weeks (besides Norfleet) and move on 2013 where we will have a top 3 class, no doubt in my mind.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jordan Diamond is coming to Auburn! Sorry losers, looks like the only people that think Michigan is relevant to college football in any way or that Auburn is a bad program are on this blog! By the way, didn't you guys lose to Ohio State 7 times in a row? And hasn't Auburn beaten Alabama 7 out of the last 10 years to include 6 in a row? Yes, I think I have said enough. The defense rests. Wait one more: Boy Michigan is a pathetic program! Okay, I am done. War Damn Eagle!
ReplyDeleteTigerman,
ReplyDeleteRemind me again where your class ranked again? Thats right below Michigan. And Auburn is second only to the Canes in how many time your program has been on probation.
I wish Diamond all the best and I have no problem with Auburn. It's just sad that they have fans like you that are disrespectful to other fans.
Isn't it dumb enough that Bucknuts come on our blog? What kind of douscher goes out of their way to talk crap on a blog that is completely irrelevant to his own team. Michigan's chance to play Auburn is slim to none. Especially now that UofM is once again prominant and well, Auburn is not.
ReplyDeleteI now know that I will never pull for Auburn in any matchup due to this toolbox. Just goes to prove how SEC-like O$U is.
Don't let that guy get to you. I sympathize with him, he lives in Alabama, there's nothing to live for there but football. If talking shit to us is what makes him happy, let him do it. GO BLUE!
DeleteI tend to let the Thoms of the world slide because I understand that Ohio hates us just as we do them. But trolls are just obnoxious in general. Especially from schools I couldn't give 2 shits less about.
DeleteThe winningest program in history makes one bad hire and has a slide, hires a good coach and immediately jumps to 11-2 (mind you with players that do not fit their system) and Michigan fans need to defend themselves to an Auburn fan? I think not (history speaks volumes). I am happy for you and for Jordan Diamond. Give him a hug for me when he realizes that national championship Michigan wins during his time @ Auburn could have been shared with him. Let's face it, while Auburn is a respectable program, your chances as winning a championship before Michigan.... Slim at best.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNice blog post hear i like it......
Football betting
well I have to say that I read Diamond's reasons at Hostpph.com, and I do understand his decision and I support it as many of his fans do as well
ReplyDelete
