Hudson to M.

[Rocky Bleier]

I am ticked. All of this recent negative publicity is killing our recruiting!

[Mackenzie]

Is that the same as saying our recruitng is killing?

[Prime2]

With 25 commits, I assume M has 5 more left for a whopping 30. Adding Gary, Lavert Hill, Chase Allen, Connor Murphy and Khaleke Hudson gets them up to 283.85 points.

I also assume Quinn Nordin is in the class (he adds roughly 0 to the total).

How is it possible to add the #1 kicker in the nation (4-Star) Quinn Nordin and NOT see a bump in the mythical points, team/school rankings?

[Rocky Bleier]

Gary is not taking an official to Bama this weekend(great thing), but Clemson instead(no biggy). I believe HARBAUGH!! still has an in home with him as well. Would be one of the all timers if he went other than M on NSD.

I wouldn't totally discount Clemson, though I wonder how much room a school can make up when they get their official visit 5 days before NSD. Gary has been to Michigan about 4 times, I believe.

So, we're currently at 26 recruits. Does that mean we're in for more "pulled scholarship" articles in the next few days?

Has Nordin actually made it official yet?

247 has a story that quotes his mother saying they're visiting Clemson and Alabama this weekend. Has that changed?

[Rocky Bleier]

Nope...

I just as soon see them squeeze in two visits in a weekend than stay in one place.

Scout has him at a 4, the other three services list him as a 3-star. It stretches credulity that the #1 ranked player in the nation, at any position is not assigned an arbitrary and capricious 4 or 5-star ranking. LOL


Nordin is the No. 1 ranked kicker in the nation by a number of recruiting services. In all, Nordin has received 23 Division I scholarship offers, with recent offers coming from Baylor, the University of Southern California and Alabama

As a point of reference, Hoke's 2012 class was 275.85 and his 2013 class was 289.15.

To put those in context. Hokes 2012 class had 34 commits and averaged 85.17 on the composite. Hoke's 2013 class had 35 commits and averaged 86.22 on the composite.

Harbaugh is currently at 26 commits with an average of 89.63 on the composite.

All he does is kick. He doesn't run, pass, block or tackle, which is why kickers don't get much respect, though a good one is really valuable.
