TomVH: Quick Update
Just wanted to give a quick update, I had a long day today so I wanted to at least post something.
I spoke with Ohio RB/FB Alden Hill today and I'm not so sure that Michigan has a great shot with Alden. They're in his top five, but he has other schools ahead of him. He's likely going to make a decision before the end of summer so the coaches would probably need to try to get him back on campus to gain some ground. I don't know how likely that would be.
If he does decide to go elsewhere I would imagine the coaching staff would try to find another prospect. Either new offers or going after EJ Fatu (who is very high on Michigan) or Sione Houma, who still maintains that Michigan has a chance. This might end up being a position that they will have to wait to fill, or they might put out some new offers to gain a commitment.
Thanks Tom, any word on Dunn? Rumor is that we don't have much of a shot with him now.
Really? Since when does UM not have a shot w/Dunn? Where are you getting your info?
I have heard also that Dunn is a longshot for us. Not saying we have no shot at all, but the chances of us landing him aren't as high as most of us thought. The word is he had a birthday party over the weekend and had a Ohio State decorated cake. Seems like he might be staying put.
You know how ridiculous this sounds, right?
That is quite thw swing. Went from most likely to decommit and come north to a long shot in what two-three days.
Word is he was wearing Michigan boxer shorts when he blew out his candles
holy shit, Eureka!
quick, I need the home addresses of every 5* prospect and the number for a 24 Hr bakery that delivers.
you sounded so serious and to the point, i think i missed the sarcasm. Whether you meant an /s or not, this is one of my favorite posts in a while. Win.
for her birthday. Does that mean she wants to move to Mexico?
One of the Rivals paywall articles talked briefly of how Dunn isn't looking good for us
That's right. He's not looking good for us.
He's looking good for the ladies of Glenoak High School.
I don't know what to say, except that perhaps he's obtained a car and tatoo that makes him look favorable to the ladies? I have a hard time believing we don't have a realistic shot, given the comments from family. On the other hand, perhaps, he's looking for a painting job in the offseason?
That just went right over your head, didn't it?
Awesome update Tom! Thanks as always.
I hope we can land a big player here but I think Morris will be bringing in some studs with him in 2013.
How's DogVH?
for a good 5 minutes. Well played sir.
In all seriousness, I'm glad to hear he's doing better. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Rocky wishes a swift get well to DogVH - dawgs gotta stick together . . .
He's alright, thanks. He got roughed up pretty bad by the rottweiler. He got thrown in the air and bit on the neck a few times, but he just has some bruising and deep puncture wounds. He's doped up on morphine right now, so he has no clue what's going on.
That sucks, but I'm glad the little guy is okay. Here's wishing him a speedy recovery.
We'll be expecting an interview with your dog with his reaction and general thoughts on his vet visit.
Was going to txt you to wish him the best, but then saw the avalanche on your twitter account and decided to hold off.
Dogs are just like kids, except not as sneaky. And not as smart. And smarter.
At any rate, glad to hear he's okay, and hope you can now relax. Dog Zero is sitting right next to me as I post this, and if he was attacked I'd be plenty rattled long after it's over.
Hey TVH and DogVH I've got Dogbastard, more affectionately known as Woodson by my side. I'm with zero on the effect of a rotweiler encounter. Tell DogVH to hang in there, and just be glad he's not a kid, or she'd wake up crying and whining. In your case, you might hear a whimper or two, but ol' DogVH will probably try to hide anything bothering him anyway.
dog two summers ago. A pit bull chomped down on her neck, picked her up and just shook her around. Deep puncture wounds...almost didn't make it.
My friend had a dog which gotten eaten by a bear in New Jersey. Who would have thought?
Thanks, Tom. Hope the dog is doing ok!
In your opinion, would we take a FB and RB? LIke Dunn and Fatu?
sounds like he wants to be a feature back rather than a fullback.
Thanks Tom. Whats the scoop with in-state RB Dennis Norfleet? Has he been shown any love by the coaching staff?
I wouldn't get too excited about Norfleet. He already has a top 3 (I know MSU is one, I'm not too sure of the others) and I would assume that the new staff wants big backs like Dunn or Rawls instead of 5'7 speedsters. He's an elusive little guy, but I don't think he'll be getting an offer. Just doesn't go with our new offense.
Get lost among the trees.

You use that with all the ladies?
Well played!
Height has nada to do with the RB position, if it did some of the greats would of never made it out of high school. When you get a chance go look at Ronnie Hillman, the freshman who played for Hoke at SDSU and see how un-Eddie George like he is...
I would prefer to take 2 receivers if we can't get Dunn but Hill could fill 2 positions, so he would be a nice pick up. The only other puzzling question in this years recruiting class is QB or not to QB. If so who is the most likely? I can't see Mauk or Kiel being the one unless they visit again. Personally I would like to get Fuller?, I believe he is labled as an athlete, but plays QB.
Someone is not choosing to come to Michigan--Is he confused?
Hope your dogs doing better Tom. And is there any word on Dennis Norfleet? He seems like a pretty impressive RB and i even heard won co-MVP with Shane Morris at the recent tournament. Also do you have a highlight tape of EJ?
Thanks, by the way does anyone know if EJ is samoan?
He's Amish....
Ok yeah i guess that was a stupid question. I was just wondering because I think it would be cool if Michigan had a samoan.
Don't ever assume someone is Samoan when they might he Hawaiian and vice versa. I learned the hard way once...
Don't forget about the Tongans. There's no T in the Hawaiian language so Fatu is definitely not Hawaiian.
Hope it points you toward a conclusion...
I think we should just go FB if we cannot get either of those two, unless we are planning on taking a FB regardless
are that we're planning on taking both a RB and FB.
No need to buckle up on this one, huh?
Good luck with the pooch and thanks for taking the time to post.
FWIW 247sports has Illinois as "HOT" on his list, so I believe he may end up there without any changes.
Not surprising, he already made it known they're his leader.
because it increases the odds of me seeing the Rock and Rikishi roaming the sidelines with (Hollywood) Hoke Hogan.
