UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

Really!

And, wow!

[Rocky Bleier]

Did I really just log on here, way on the west coast and see no mention of Drake Harris committing?? Really?

Thought you were being a smartass, but then I checked MGOBLOG...WOW!!!!

What a nice little surprise that is. Takes a little of the sting off Burke.

Shane Morris gets a top receiver to throw too. Big talent at a position of need, glad to have this one sealed up early. Hand's, McDowell's & Peppers' now the recruitments that should be most anxious (hopefully fun) to watch.

Love the Drake!

[DennisT]

Hope he sticks this time.

I saw Drake play in the state finals this year. The kid is very good. Tall, runs good routes, and has sticky hands. Definitely a good get.

The fun part will be keeping him committed until LOI day and then seeing if he sticks with just football.

[The Oracle]

He's an early enrollee so only til January. He won't play basketball. Future isn't nearly as bright.

[Rob F]

But I thought Hoke couldn't recruit skill-position players...then the meme was that he couldn't recruit RBs and WRs...and most recently, it was down to that he couldn't recruit WRs.

Is there anything else he supposedly can't do...

[Pasadena Blue]

I believe Talent/DSL indicated he can't beat Urbie.

[Pasadena Blue]

It's good that Drake is planning to be an early enrollee. We probably need him to play early on and he needs to put on some lean weight.

[Da Geezer]

That is really the best news we've had in 2014 recruiting. Great kid. I've watched him several times. Nothing to say that he could NOT play basketball.

Love PB's phrase "lean weight". If you wanted to see lean weight, you should have seen Taco Carlton in the spring game. He has gone from 237 to 267, and it is lean weight. All I ever put on is dunlop weight.

[Hannibal]

Awesome pickup. Thought it was a 50/50 shot for Harris. We definitely needed a big time blue-chipper after losing out on Treadwell and Webb.

[Optimus Prime]

Best part IMO:

"Fellows said Harris had narrowed his choices to Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State recently, saying he had eliminated Florida from the list because of the distance from home."

[Deuce]

Mike Farrell from Rivals just tweeted Jabril Peppers is a "heavy UM lean". I dont follow this as closely as some here but that seems like a huge deal, he is #2 overall recruit. Farrell also said OSU dropped on his list.

Later Farrell guessed as opposed to having a solid source on Peppers, that UM was the top threat with VaTech for DaShawn Hand, the #1 overall recruit. Jesus, settle down Hoke!
