UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

Can't help it Chuck, my over-the-top nature. Spike although I am Irish, green no way, Santorini Black, Metallic....just be thankful you are not an OSU grad like DSL.

It's a shame your Dad will not have enough time to visit the Mayan ruins of chitzen Itza beyond remarkable, restoration is nearly perfect.

Yucatan peninsula, west of Cancun, 1/2 hr by plane or 4-6 hour drive, which is ill-advised, the corrupt Cops pull you over and shake you down for money because you've got a "yellow" tourist rental plate!


WM another question, Having a bevy of commits for such a long time -- U-M has received only three new commitments since early August -- has allowed the staff to use some of this month to work on 2013 prospects, any serious groundwork in this regard?

My Dad has a VW bio-diesel. Gets 45-50 MPG on the highway. It's a pretty nice car.

Sean, I dunno about where you were fueling up with the truckers, but around me (outside of AA) the diesel is just included on the same pumps as the rest of the gas. Different nozzel but same pump.

[DennisT]

Sorry about your wife but I just had to pee real bad and the bathroom was locked.

[SeanB]

Jamie, it was usually when traveling in unfamiliar places and you just had to make that stop where you KNEW there would be diesel. In our area, we knew where the good stations were!

M now has Daryl Stonum's scholarship available but they weren't going to need it this recruiting class anyway as they had room for a FULL 28 (25 + year EE's) for signing day and won't have any issue being down to a full 85 in August.

This situation would've helped more recruiting wise if Stonum were booted off the team before last season when they knew could sell a need at WR in '12 and could sell playing time to recruits.

Ondre Pipkens hinting on twitter, Jordan Diamond OL is (but hasn't yet) committing to M. He'd be OL #6.

[Optimus Prime]

IOW, Diamond told Urbbie Meyer to get bent.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Hoke ..... It starts up front. Something I don't think RR understood.

Look at Wisky. Average talent running/throwing behind a solid OL with lots of depth.

Made them pretty good under the meathead.

[DennisT]

Yuri has made yahoo main page.

Ondre's twitter made reference to jewelry so Diamond's name comes to mind first but could be Garnett.

[lineygoblue]

If Diamond commits before Garnett announces, would there be room for both of them?

Or would Diamond de-commit if Garnett commits?

... oh, the pain .. the pain ...

Damn, EXPELLED for those tweets. Pretty harsh. I figured it had to be more than just the tweets that got him canned.

[Hannibal]

Where do our OL guys that we have currently committed project? Are Magnusson and Braden the only guys so far who project solidly at tackle? If we pick up Sam Grant, would AJ Williams move to tackle? Sounds like Diamond and Garnett are both interior line types.

[lineygoblue]

I thought Kalis was projected inside, but Garnett was solid as an outside?

[WM Wolverine]

OG: Kyle Kalis and Caleb Stacey...
OT: Eric Magnuson...
OT/OG: Ben Braden & Brent Bars...

-

Uncommitted: Joshua Garnett OG, Jordan Diamond OT/OG & Alex Kozan OG...

[WM Wolverine]

AJ Williams caught 0 passes in his senior HS season, is 6'6" and over 270 pounds... As likely to end up on OL imo as stay at TE but we'll see what his weight is when he shows up in AA this summer/fall.
