From his twitter butt claims his dad is in love with Michigan right now.

Goes to show you can't rely on anything you read.




I think Jake is a TE even know this clip is of all defensive highlights. He is a standout basketball player, he is a great athlete and has hands to go with it. He has the ability to play DE with some weight gain but doesn't have that killer instinct of a SDE of doesn't look to be a pass rusher. I noticed he gets stood up and pushed back before he can get off his blocks and make plays. I got a feel that TE is where he wants to play as well. His dad loves Ohio but had nothing but great things to say about Hoke ( he focused on the Hagerup muffed punt during the Ohio game, Hoke took Hagerup aside and consoled him and told him to shake it off ) that type of coaching is respected by people and parents also. He pointed out he didn't like the way coach Kelly screams at his players, even know Jake likes ND quite a bit. Jake's mom said she was headed up for this weeks visit and loves Ann Arbor and coach Hoke. Her quote was " I have not found a flaw yet about Michigan ". It seems that Michigan is favorite currently but when I asked him about ND, he said " if they would offer me I might go there".

Tuley-Tillman wants to make an announcement on twitter, not expecting big news but this weekend isn't over yet.

[WM Wolverine]

So far:

*1 QB, 1 RB, 2 TE, 3 OL...

*1 DE, 1 CB, 1 S...

Everyone is a 4-star other than Hill TE.

Need some receivers and a stud RB

[Paul L]

What a weekend for M athletics; just fantastic.

Patience grasshopper

[lineygoblue]

The "stud" RB that we all want will probably be either Deveon Smith or Ty Isaac. I think we get one of the two. We could get both, if they want to compete for the starting job against each other.

[DennisT]

Not worried about getting skill guys at all. They'll be lining up at the door with all the good trench work getting done.

[iam416]

If they could get LTT in that would be huge.

Also, there's a big difference between Smith and Ty Isaac.

[lineygoblue]

I agree re: difference between Isaac and Smith.

From what I've been able to gather about both, Smith is a straight ahead, downhill type runner, while Isaac can run with both power and speed, and is more of a "franchise" type RB. Of the two, I'd obviously prefer Isaac, but its going to be a long wait, and there are going to be a lot of suitors in the crowd.

[iam416]

Yeah. It will take Smith several years before he contributes. I think he's a "safe" offer for Hoke because he knows he's a lock. But, meh, they can do better. JMO.
