Roller coaster! I'm enjoying the ride.

WM:

I think Hill is going to M, too. I could just see that cryptic message referring to him. I think the "surprise" part of the message is not the key.

[SeattleLionsFan]

Hill makes some sense. He's gonna be on campus this weekend (so he could silent) and plans to announce on NSD.

[WM Wolverine]

Sam Webb seems to think it's Vic...

I don't think Hill would be the least bit surprising or even fascinated... There was some push towards playing with his high school teammates at Sparty but he's always been a Wolverine.

The Class of '17 recruiting board should be up next weekend. I'll be hoping Isaiah Wilson makes the loss of Hamilton a small one.

[Rocky Bleier]

Just being a bit sarcastic about all the pearl clutching in the wake of the Swenson deal. At least M gave him six weeks to locate a backup plan. Hamilton gave us literally hours it seems like.

(If he was wavering several weeks ago, I doubt the Swenson thing even comes up. Real dick move by Hamilton IMO.)

I knew there was sarcasm. I just wasn't sure to whom it was directed.

Hamilton made his commitment on June 24th. You'd think he could have changed his mind a little sooner. He only took 1 visit - Ann Arbor on January 15th. I don't even see a Stanford offer prior to this weekend (below). Recruiting is nuts. That's why you have to recruit right up until Signing Day.

Surprised? Rules out a lot of people.

Fascinated? Rules out a lot more.

Pleased? Doesn't say much but doesn't sound like a HUGE pickup that many are hoping. Hopefully just not the best choice of words.

Could mean many things, perhaps a strong 5-star public commit considered a lock?

Conversely, a shitty recruit not worth mentioning, good thing we are in very capable hands.

[WM Wolverine]

Pleased rules out anyone we won't like but also imo rules out elite top 100 type talents.

[WM Wolverine]

IMO they would've/should've used another adjective other than pleased if it was a 5-star caliber recruit.

[The Oracle]

EJ Price I'd say could fit the description.

[Wellington_beefhouser]

Chirping of Will Fries (Penn St. Commit) also.

[Wellington_beefhouser]

Also, there is a crystal ball run on Nate Johnson sticking with M

[The Oracle]

I hope, I like him. But there's no way that's what the mystic tweet is about. Even if it's VV, it's an overblow.

[SeattleLionsFan]

Of course it's overblown. Saying it was a meh thing doesn't get attention.

[Rocky Bleier]

Let's take a break:
In case anyone thinks I don't like redheads...
