I stopped counting at 60 hours to go. :)<br />Benji- We've had so many new top athletes (mostly linemen) say they have Michigan in their top 5. Most of them are well out of driving distance and will have to make an official visit to get on campus. Do you have the D.L. on which top recruits are likely to visit 2A?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110824687189541761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-1555881905423012642011-05-27T18:18:26.744-07:002011-05-27T18:18:26.744-07:00I am a "mgorecruit" head and I need my f...I am a "mgorecruit" head and I need my fix.

Take that however way you wish. I can't seem to find out if Morgan is the silent commit or if there's another one out there.<br /><br />2. Dwayne Stanford and Adolphus Washington won't be visiting A2 this weekend; they'll be rescheduling. This info comes from @TomVH.<br /><br />3. There was an incident involving Tate Forcier hanging out of a window in a locked apartment in Grand Rapids last month. I guess it was kept hush hush. No confirmation on exactly what he was doing.<br /><br />4. Se'Von Pittman's top five schools are Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, MSU, and Ohio State. Says Ohio State not best for him "as I've matured." LOL.<br /><br />5. Speaking of Ohio, the SI article on them comes out 5/31, hopefully more details will leak before then. It's going to be juicy. If Tressel keeps his job, I'll eat my hat. And for the person wondering who'll replace him on 3 months notice, they'd probably install an interim coach from his staff - somebody not connected to the scandal(s), if there is anybody. Double LOL.<br /><br />6. OL Joshua Garnett (6'5", 275 lbs), the 22nd ranked prospect in the nation has Michigan in his top five. He won't be committing anytime soon. Michigan is in on a bunch of big time studs on the offensive line, so I'd expect this position to fill up last in this recruiting class.jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403277834081290974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-26991462769812327132011-05-26T23:01:24.882-07:002011-05-26T23:01:24.882-07:00With how public all this has been, and these other...With how public all this has been, and these other players now coming forward and this forthcoming SI article which apparently is suppose to blow the roof off of Tressel pulling up all sorts of things (remember the writer is a Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist, he's not messing around.

So Max Tuerk might find himself sitting even with a thin roster. They did take 3 solid DT's (2 were 4 star kids,) and 4 solid DE's the best playing SDE last year so Arik Armstead may very well be asked to stop rushing the passer and start wrestling blitzers as well. I wouldn't say that will disgruntle him, but you can consider him to be seriously less than gruntled in that situation. They overloaded with WR's last year even though they only took 2. 1 was a 5 star #3 overall wideout and the other was a 4 star # 13 overall wideout plus 2 RB's a FB and 2 QB's so at this point I would say Jordan Payton can reasonably expect to not play much if he keeps his commitment.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110824687189541761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-11298061138453904812011-05-26T15:19:30.789-07:002011-05-26T15:19:30.789-07:00The best thing about osu is that their two "g...The best thing about osu is that their two "greatest" coaches will be remembered for <br />1.punching a kid in the head<br />and<br />2.being a lying,cheating scumbag<br /><br />stay classy osuWormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324390503254243601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-21523050037171201182011-05-26T15:14:00.217-07:002011-05-26T15:14:00.217-07:00WR Jordan Payton. 6'2" 200lb.

The offer was received well by the, well, receiver. He said: “We’re offering you a scholarship to the University of Michigan, Hail to the Victors.” I’m really excited about it, and I’m excited to take a trip out there in April.

Verbally committed to u$c in early February (one of the very first to do so). Extreme longshot for him to rescind his verbal, unless the coaches are mad they'll play him as a 3 tech DT.

They have had several upperclassmen transfer and are now limited to only offering 15 scholarships for the 2012, 2013, and 2014 classes. They already have 8 verbal commits, only 7 scholarships left, serious needs to fill at several positions, and a bowl ban. the 13 seniors in the Trojans team are allowed to transfer without sitting out a year and the "coaches" can do little to replace them. I think it's time we looked at the current u$c verbal commits who hold Michigan offers.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110824687189541761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-28558879173313460052011-05-26T14:25:34.838-07:002011-05-26T14:25:34.838-07:00Agreed......they don't have the balls to let h...Agreed......they don't have the balls to let him go and their fans don't care how tainted he becomes!!GoBlueNorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893745417245905594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587812383588742150.post-11930988583818455942011-05-26T13:15:14.720-07:002011-05-26T13:15:14.720-07:00Over, and that's the bad part (for them.)
