Not that it matters, but if yuri is kicked out of school, how does he graduate and move on to colorado?

He enrolled in a public school the day he got the boot and will graduate on time...one of the (overlooked) aspects of this kid is that outside of his twittergate experience, he really is a pretty good kid. Decent grades, no kind of previous behavior issues, looked to as a leader etc...

Again, despite needing him, I'm glad that ND isn't risking any side-show distractions. Otherwise, I wish him well at Colorado.

Happy Birthday almost old fart!

Unfortunately, RichGOD may pull Davonte Neal, who is most definitely not a 3*.

Don't worry about SAT scores or high school transcripts, we'll print them "in-house" during your official visit to Rich's World!

Gotta like it, Mattison's NFL largess in action! Conversely, Meyer had Reeves in his office for quick 10 minutes, kid couldn't help but "admire" the life-size portrait of Urban Meyer hanging behind his desk....just a whole lot of vanity.


His relationship with Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison, cultivated during the trip to Ann Arbor, will be a huge boost to the Wolverines’ chances to reel him in.

“Coach Mattison didn’t really leave my side the whole visit,” Reeves said. “We got to sit down and watch some of the Ravens game. He was talking about some of the players, Ray Lewis and all of those guys. The fact that he was sitting right beside me almost every little thing I was doing, I could tell he really wants me. He really wants me to be a part of the program.”

Michigan head coach Brady Hoke was in Reeves’ home on Saturday, and head Buckeye Urban Meyer on Monday. Mattison made the final impression on Reeves with an in-home visit on Tuesday night. Reeves plans to make his final choice between the Buckeyes and Wolverines by Saturday.

M has certainly poured everything they could into Reeves. Will be interesting.

[Jamie H]

We need CB's really bad.

[iam416]

Correct. OSU doesn't. So Reeves doesn't get the Noah Spence-Platinum Treatment from UFM. Anyway, the kid has done a great job keeping his intentions secret. I haven't read anyone who thinks they have a good read on him.

[SeattleLionsFan]

Lol. I like you iam. Probably has something to do with our chosen profession.

[iam416]

Our profession attracts a disproportionate number of complete f'n assholes. Heh. Apparently, we are the exception. Stan, unfortunately..... :-)

Anyway, on Reeves, OSU wants him. They sort of do need a CB in this class. But they desperately needed OL/LB/DL. And that's were UFM focused is efforts. They sort of almost feel into Reeves.

They sort of almost feel into Reeves.

So THAT'S how they do things at osu, huh? Creepy.

Stanford insiders are liking there chances with Garnett, not sure what this is based on.

[WM Wolverine]
