UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Rob F]

would it be wrong to tell Liney and Stan to "get a room!" ?

[madootra]

LMAO......no. Seems only polite....

[hack]

Someone likes a bit of abuse mixed in, it seems.

In case you weren't aware, Jeremy Clark S is already committed; was a grayshirt, now a class of '12 commit. Tall, skinny frame not unlike Jarrod Wilson FS (who imo has 'coverage' ability to play corner) but not quite as athletic/explosive.

Brian did a mea culpa today over the Ringer rumor.

Over eager "media"

[lineygoblue]

Big rumor last night at Rivals that Jordan Payton visited ND over the weekend and was "blown away" and nearly committed there on the spot.

But, apparently he has returned home, without committing. Michigan was his clear leader before the visit, but now, it appears to be 50/50 with the Irish.

I believe he's announcing tomorrow. He may be just building up some suspense, according to one Rivals contributor. But then again, maybe he's going Irish.

We'll see.

[Hannibal]

Turns out -- Clark's scholarship came from Greg Brown, who has left the team.

[Rocky Bleier]

Sam Webb should speak to Payton tonight. Keeping fingers crossed.

Didn't Greg Brown receive a lot of praise from the coaching staff prior to the season?

Over eager "media"

With instant reporting on anything and everything these days via internet blogs, there is more of an emphasis on reporting things quickly than on reporting on them correctly.

Reporting on this wrong only requires you to issue an apology. Reporting on things slowly, even if you are accurate, means no one ever reads your site.

I'll go out on a limb and say he puts off his announcement.

Payton doesn't seem like a big deal to me. The dropoff between him and other wr options doesn't seem that great. As opposed to Yuri and Banner and Garnett and O'Brien and those types.

[Hannibal]

My prediction -- he'll announce for Michigan as expected.

[Hannibal]

I really want Payton. It'd be nice to have a good enough crop of outside receivers to put Roundtree back into the slot next year. Darboh and Payton might give us that ability.

Who are these other options? Darboh is supposedly a Wolverine lean, but I haven't heard of a plethora of other options. Losing Payton would hurt.
