The adults do a really good job feeding the egos.

Quinn Nordin (#1 kicker, Michigan) tweets #GoBlue. M supposedly found room for him in the past few weeks.

[JRB]

Kind of tells you their confidence level in Andrew David, doesn't it?

[Rocky Bleier]

Aren't we supposed to be on commit watch this weekend? I hope it wasn't just Kurt Taylor. Nordin still listed as PSU.

[WM Wolverine]

Might've just been Kurt Taylor.

[Rocky Bleier]

Underwhelmed...

[The Oracle]

Who cares? Nothing has changed from earlier in the week. Looking up.

In spite of the loss, Isaac Nauta's visit went well.

With Wheatley Jr. around 300 lb's, doubt he stays at tight end. Need for TE goes up if he moves to defense/OT. A second TE is probably a good idea in '16 as they really came up empty in '15 if Wheatley isn't a TE anymore. Positive from this is whatever position group Wheatley Jr. moves to the 'need' there is lessened.

[lineygoblue]

I don't know a lot about him, but could Wheatley Jr. move to the DL?

[Hannibal]

Hopefully he will move to OT.

HARBAUGH!!! is clearing space for Walker:

Despite a successful surgery, recent conversations with the Wolverines have still left [Matt Falcon] with doubts about his football future.

"I want to play football and I can still play at a high level," he said, "but at this time, I'm divided because Michigan is only giving me one option. Coach Harbaugh told my mother quote 'if Matthew comes to Michigan, he will not be able to play football.' But they would pay for my college education for academics.

"I would have to sign a waiver saying I can't play even though top surgeons told me, my family and Coach Harbaugh I will be able to get back on the field and play at a high level."

He says he is not decommitted from the Wolverines. In fact, he wrestled with publicizing his status with Michigan in the midst of an early season surge that had the team ranked as high as No. 12 in the polls. With questions mounting about his commitment, the Wolverines recruiting other running backs and the team now on a bye week, Falcon felt the time was right to answer some of those questions.

"I just want to apologize to the Michigan fans. I've worked hard my whole life to hopefully be given the opportunity to play football at the University of Michigan, and at this time that's being taken away from me."

[Hannibal]

Wise move by Harbaugh. Only 2/3 of one season played his past three years of high school. By the time that he would maybe see time as a redshirt freshman, he would have played just a handful of games in the past five years. No way this poor kid would have ever carried the ball for us on a meaningful down. Harbaugh is doing him a favor.

Big boy recruiting.
