UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[Mike]

Excellent! I hope there's more

[Da Geezer]

Silas Redd is the prize. He is talking about USC.

[Optimus Prime]

In addition to Douglas, the Detroit News suggests a few PSU others:

Douglas might have some company in the 2013 class, as three other Penn State commitments received scholarship offers from Michigan out of high school: four-star tight end Adam Breneman, four-star offensive lineman Brendan Mahon and three-star receiver Zach Bradshaw.

[hack]

Yeah. So in need to RB talent, esp. with Fitz potentially on the fritz.

[Mike]

I think Adam Breneman is going to ohio.

[iam416]

No.

[Optimus Prime]

I think Adam Breneman is going to ohio.

This clearly is Urbie's baileywick, yet he remains conspicuously silent? I suppose from a potential recruit's perspective, why jump from the pan into the fire?

[Rob F]

No.

Talento-what are you hearing about any of the potential PSU decommits? Any likely to go to ohio? What about current players, including Redd?

The PSU fallout seems to be rapidly changing and developing, from the little time I've had to look around on the net today. I didn't even know til just a minute ago about that PSU decommit CB Michigan is apparently scooping up.

[Da Geezer]

WM: You said a while back that UM has 6 walk-ons who will get the remaining scholarships. Why would UM not go after known D-1 talent and instead give scholarships to walk-ons?

Another question: USC is on scholarship limitation as penalty themselves. How can they "pick up" an extra scholarship for this year. I understand Redd being able to go where he wants, but shouldn't the penalty imposed against USC mitigate against them "adding" another player. USC is getting to be the Kentucky of college football.

Fitz really screwed us badly.

[Mike]

No.

Good. Just going off some rumors floating around the PSU boards yesterday. Apparently, the family made an official "no comment" statement and went underground. Sounds like he's done with PSU at any rate.

[hack]

Didn't he blow out a knee?

[*JD*]

What the F--- is Fitz thinking. Is there any precedent we can look to to see how long he will be out. Probably miss the Alabama game.

How long was Stonum suspended for his first DUI and was that under RR?

I wouldn't be surprised if he missed all of September.

[Optimus Prime]

He missed a single game against Illinois I believe, appears RR was partial to the drink!

[Hannibal]

I thought that Breneman is a PSU fanatic and he has reaffirmed his commitment(?)

[iam416]

I don't know if Brenneman stays or not. But I've read that if he leaves, it won't be for OSU.

The only PSU recruit OSU is probably interested in and has a shot at is Dorian Johnson, but I think that ship sailed.

A lot of the kids PSU got OSU looked at, so meh.

Interesting move by Hoke on Douglas with the numbers he has.
