UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

Even if we only land one of Darboh, Diggs, and/or Payton, I'm feeling better about our receivers for 2012 than I was a few months ago. The Stonum suspension and the emergence of Jeremy Gallon means that we'll probably be okay next year. Add in one or two freshman guys on the outside along with Jerald Robinson and Jeremy Jackson and hopefully, we can move Roundtree back inside with Gallon and Dileo.

I hope this is Sam's stomach talking.

[Rocky Bleier]

No, more like his opinion.

so, we would like to finish this class with Diggs, Dunn, Wright, Darboh, and Banner?
Did I get our wish list right?
If that's what transpires, I presume we would end up with the #1 class?

[The Oracle]

Yeah, but Banner's prolly a long shot.

That sounds like an ideal finish. I think that puts us in the Top 5, but not at #1. At least not on rivals.

Speaking of wish list, is there any indication about where Gunner Kiel is leaning? I really wish we had a QB in this class.

[The Oracle]

I've seen ND lean around the net.

[Chuck Mallory]

That group would have to put us at #1. Don't see Banner,or Diggs. I'll take Wright,Dar Dunn.

Rivals reporting that Diamond to Michigan is warming up again. Catch is, Diamond wants to announce on signing day and Michigan's final OL slot may be gone by then.

[Rocky Bleier]

I'm so tired of these kids and their look-at-me drama. He'll probably do the three card monte hat thing too. Pick a school, back everyone else off, and be done with it.

McGary's announcement was really kinda silly.

[Paul L]

McGary's announcement was really kinda silly.

I don't see how it was silly? None of the "three hats on the table" nonsense, no announcing with hundreds of family/friends/teammates/mascots in the background, wore a suit and appeared to be grateful and a class act.

[DennisT]

I'm with Rocky.

[hack]

McGary wasn't a clown about it, but if it's such a big deal that it needs to be announced live on TV, that implies there should be some sorta of reaction when it is, moreso than an anchor carrying on the conversation. It wasn't gaudy or obnoxious, but it was kinda weird and awkward.

[lineygoblue]

I blame a lot of that on the sports outlets like ESPN. If they didn't pander to these kids, offering them national air time to announce, they wouldn't make such a big deal over it. ESPN WANTS those kind of announcements. Shoot, the "Under Armour" and "Army All American" bowls are nothing BUT venues for "announcements".
