14th Commit?
Go Blue Wolverine (Scout.com's michigan site) is now suggesting a 14th commit may be on the way. http://michigan.scout.com/a.z?s=162&p=2&c=1075691&ssf=1&RequestedURL=ht… . I dont know if anyone has any info on this i just thought id share the link.
D-bag at fox-sports toledo in his contridicting tweet
but completely clued it in between this and his next tweet
So with seemingly Gant and Morgan about to commit, who does that leave as far as DBs go? Do we only take one more, that being Armani Reeves?
Are most of u excited about gant? He seems good to me but it seems we should slow play him to get the higher prospects on out board. What do u guys think? I would be happy with him at UM but idk why we need to take him now
for mentioning slow playing and such, but I am in the camp of those who believe we have better prospects than Gant left on the board and am left wondering why he got his offer so early. There were a couple others who I thought were better, but the coaches could very well have some inside info that has lead them down this path that no one else is aware of.
Don't get me wrong though, he is a good prospect. I just like some of the others a little more is all.
Edited so the young man can have his announcement. TomVH didn't want us guessing so I'm editing it out.
report where a kid is going to school even though he tells them not to.
I wonder how many of you who want to slow play Gant actually have knowledge of his game or just go off of scout and rivals ranking of him? Just because he doesn't do the combines doesn't mean this kid isn't really good. I've seen him play and I'd love to have him.
since you obviously feel you are the authority on such things why not mention your credentials?
I based my opinion on a few things:
1) his highlight videos contrasted with other safety prospects we offered
2) the opinion of people on this board who have proven over time to be very good judges on talent (Magnus and a couple others)
3) (and least of all) recruting services information
Before you get pissy about my response remember, you asked and I answered. Just because someone has a different opinon on a prospect doesn't men you have to take it personally. No one said they didn't want him or thought he sucked. I (and a couple others) simply said we felt there were others prospects left on the board that are more talented.
No need to get so combative I was simply asking a question. I've seen many others who have been uspet with us going after Gant because of him not being highly rated. Most of these people had never watched his tape or attended a game of his in person. They also did not have knowledge that he and his family were not very concerned with attending recruiting combines. I never said that was you. I have been fortunate to see Mr. Gant in person and I was thoroughly impressed. I think he's exactly what we need in a safety.
He has an extremely high motor, great ball hawking skills, very good lateral quickness, good size, and a very very high football IQ. Sorry I don't see the need in questioning a kid that will be Blue.
Go Blue and welcome to the family Allen.
but the tone of what you said essentially called out those who didn't agree with your assessment of Gant and insinuated they must be recruiting site junkies who can't make an assessment without basing it entirely on recruiting sites information.
Again, no one said they didn't want him or thought he wouldn't turn out being a good safety at UM. What we said was, this early in the cycle there are more talented safeties (in our minds, anyway] out there that we are still in good standing with and taking Gant with so few slots left means there may not be room for some of those we thought might be better in this class.
Just because you differ with someone else doesn't mean they are an idiot who can't make an assessment on their own. That's all I'm saying.
I never called anyone an idiot. I simply said I wondered. Sorry for that. I think he will be a great asset to the team. I trust Brady on this one. Welcome to Michigan Mr. Gant.
Thanks for deleting that thread. You're a class act.
and thank you Tom for deleting the other thread for the respect of the Gant's decision.
Scout is now reporting a 15th possible commit by june 10 so there is some more speculation for everyone. Also it is saying that Dunn is still commited to tosu and that tressels departure will not be enough to make him decommit.
hes visiting on June 10th. but as Tom said above there are 3 making their decisions sooner than expected other than wayne morgan, so maybe chris wormley after that?
All 5 will commit from now to the end of June . . .
Wayne Morgan
Chris Wormley
Allen Gant
Erik Magnuson
Jordan Diamond
AAAAAAAAAANNNNNDDDDDD . . . whats this a bonus??
Ondre Pipkins!!!!!!!!
damn sweet for Michigan! Hoe you're right!
too.
Those guys are all from out of the state of Michigan, which I have on good authority is Sparty country . . . .
Can we get a Gunner Kiel in there too? Obviously yours are very likely all to happen, but certainly on a day like today I can afford to be slightly optimisic.
Toledo TV sports just anounced Gant Commited to Michigan!
And yet another news station ruins the announcement for a Michigan commitment.
d-bags why dont people respect peoples decisions.
