With a name like that, he has to be good. -
M makes Armani Reeves CB (4*) top 3. M's got to make up ground it lost when they told him they were full at DT a month or two back. IMO the staff might've took Standifer's commitment as a corner before later deciding he was a free safety.Comment

M turned away Tommy Schutt DT (4.5*, from Illinois) from visiting this weekend. He wanted to commit to ND but got beat by Sheldon Day...
Tough to turn away talents like Schutt (top 50 kid by most recruiting services) only if your very confident who else your recruiting is going to choose you or already has. Pretty likely at least one of the DT's on the board told the staff they are going to be a Wolverine. Tea leaves says its likely Pipkens since he's more of a NT with Danny O'Brien more likely a 3-tech...
It was also confirmed earlier in this week by TomVH that Matthew Godin is being recruited for the 3-tech DT position, not SDE. He's already ~270 lbs so that is where I had him projected after his redshirt season anyway...
Still unsure how many more interior d-line players they are taking; could be one more, could be two more (preferably).Comment

After reportedly turning away the commitment of Se'von Pittman, I really hope these guys know what they are doing.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" KobayashiComment

I really hope that isn't true. What's the harm in letting a kid visit? Why not take Schutt and another DT? It's not like we have an abundance of good defensive linemen. Schutt has Penn State and Wisconsin on his list, and Pipkens might commit to Alabama.Last edited by Rocky Bleier; August 5, 2011, 08:01 AM.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.

Rumors say M has told Pipkens and O'Brien that they will only take 1 more DT in this classAtlanta, GAComment

Well, if both want to come to Michigan, then Hoke needs to find room for them."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment

Seems pretty universal at this point that nobody understands why they won't take 2 more DTs.Comment

I'm not particularly high on Godin; I'm firmly in the camp that would love to add two of Pipkens, O'Brien, Schutt and Shittu. Loss of Terry Talbott should've made it possible to take a 3rd DT. Wormley and Stroebel are both potential DT's down the line yet imo both are much more likely to stay at 5-tech, SDE.Comment

In '13 recruiting news, Dymonte Thomas ATH (safety imo) probably won't last too long before joining the Wolverines... Not sure how good of a prospect he is (he should be pretty good to get an offer this early) but the better news might be he is Bri'onte Dunn's cousin. I still see Dunn as a Buckeye unless Ohio gets more than a slap on the wrist; otherwise M will likely battle PSU for his services...
Back to Dymonte, possible M was recruiting Thomas to help them with Dunn; its happens all the time where coaches will recruit a kid in one recruiting class to get a foot in the door of a high school of a blue chipper in the next class.Last edited by WM Wolverine; August 6, 2011, 06:58 AM.Comment

Is Thomas an elite/borderline 5* guy? That's what I'm hearing about him. Of course, it's from the same people who said that Ricardo Miller and Chris Wormley were 5* guys, so I take it with a grain of salt.Comment

He's not even a junior yet so, how can you accurately say what he's going to be. But the speculation is that he will be pretty good.To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" KobayashiComment
