Harbaugh offers scholarship to 8th grader in Hawaii

[WM Wolverine]

It means we're in a battle for Jay Tufele. He's M's top blue chip DT target.

[iam416]

I think M was in a battle for Tufele no matter what. I don't think M has ever led.

I think it means OSU doesn't like Ewell enough or they feel really good about Tufele. We'll see. I'm not getting too worked over Tufele since he's not even top 50 overall. :-)

Joel Honigford adds to M's OL haul!

I like the kid. My only concern is that he plays total garbage competition.

it appears UM is cornering the market on 3* o-linemen

[Detroit Dan]

These are not the kinds of signings that indicate a pact with the devil. Rather, these commitments provide reassurance that perspective is intact. Remember the lesson of the Fab Five. Harbaugh is the hot commodity, but the recruits are still down to earth.

[lineygoblue]

I still trust Harbaugh.

I don't think he'd offer a kid that he didn't see as being helpful to the team.

[Pasadena Blue]

we've one zero titles in decades. Harbaugh is probably grabbing what he can, expecting that we will continue to play bridesmaid to many of the big fish.

this season is incredibly crucial to M's fortunes going forward ----make the CFP and have a good NFL draft and I think we will start to see more 4/5* clamoring to play for JH.

At least they know who he is now, and whom he works for.

OSU hires Joker Phillips.

Phillips was asked to "resign" after recruiting violations at Florida. Carry on, SEC North.

[The Oracle]

Already in the appropriate thread. Was ignored by our friends.

Herbert announces top 3 of M, Miami and Florida. Thought to be coin flip between N and Florida.

Nebraska in and Michigan out. What a turn of events.
