UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[iam416]

Ok. Enough. WM is going to be pissed. This thread is the single thread that should stay on topic.

We should take our elevated discourse elsewhere.

Thinking that for awhile now.

Hate to Break up this Black Panther party but it's not a knitting circle for you subversive types.

[WM Wolverine]

Not too much news till the BBQ where I think M lands 2-3 commits.

ironic/iconic -- I see what you did there. Also, I like the idea of a safe space when confronted with GBOD charges. All good.

Now if we can just get Baron Browning, the GBOD issue will be resolved once and for all.

Hunter Echols decommits from UCLA, #97 OVR DE. I'd expect M to get back in with him and it'll be interesting to see if he visits on the 6th.

[WM Wolverine]

He's a recruit M has recruited heavily and is a top target.

Hunter Echols less than a week ago:

“I’m thinking hard about the Buckeyes,” Echols said. “I’ve always been a fan of Ohio State, just from growing up watching football. Playing for them would be awesome.”

“I talked to a lot of their guys out there [at the Opening.] They were just telling me that they want me to get offered so we can ramp this recruitment up."

“Their coaches have been on break. Mark Pantoni says just wait. I love what they have going on over there and hopefully I can be a part of it.”

Quotes from a kid not particularly settled on UCLA. Good news for M is I don't think OSU has space.

Sounds like Marvin Wilson's quotes on Michigan before he left them off his top 35.

[lineygoblue]

lol .. top 35

[iam416]

OSU isn't in Echols' top 11. Heh. Then again, he doesn't have an offer and probably won't get one. So it's a little different than Marvin or, heh, Dylan Moses. Lol.

Btw, Oracle, I'm open to running our wager back for 2018.

[The Oracle]

Jeezus, we haven't even settled year #1 and you're looking that far ahead. I mean, probably, but hasn't crossed my mind.

A Lannister always pays his debts.

Lynn Bowden really showed out last night. He's really good. I still think M will eventually get involved, but that's my own pure speculation.

The story behind how Michigan gained commitments from Aubrey Solomon and Otis Reese.

http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2016/07/how_michigan_landed_a_commitme.html

This part of the article surprised me a bit.

Although he's committed to the Wolverines, Solomon plans on taking all five of his official visits, to Michigan, USC, Oregon, Clemson and Georgia. That's because he was encouraged to do so. "Michigan wants me to take my officials, see what other colleges have to offer, compare and contrast," he said. "They definitely want me to go take the visits, so I am."
