TomVH: One Last Time

Submitted by TomVH on
I apologize to everyone that sent me congrats and well wishes that I didn't respond to, but I wasn't able to comment at the time. I have accepted a position with ESPN and will still be covering Michigan recruiting. I just wanted to thank everyone for the support and help along the way. It's bitter sweet to be leaving MGoBlog, but I'm excited about what's ahead. We're moving to Michigan this week so if you see me around say hi. If I don't get around to thanking you all I'll just say thank you here. We just got back from South Carolina for a friend's wedding yesterday, moving truck is coming today, and we drive back to Michigan for three days on Wednesday at 4am.

Thank you so much Tom. I stumbled on this blog sometime ago and never looked back! I will miss the anticipation on a TomVH post. Best of luck to you at ESPN. At least youre coming back to the Murder Mitten! Drive Safe!

Thanks for all you've done for this blog and its readers Tom.

Hopefully, you can still drop in and talk with us some time. Not necessarily about recruiting, but just about Michigan football or life in general.

You going to ESPN is probably the only thing that could've convinced me to get an insider membership.

Congrats and good luck!!!

Tom, will miss your valuable information and frequent scoops.   A class act all the way.

Can you tell us a bit more about your new gig at ESPN?   Most importantly when we might expect to see your first content published?

I didn't have a lot of time to get to know you but I've appreciated all the hard work, info and crypticism.  Best wishes to you at ESPN and with your wife and JuniorVH.

ALL THE RECRUITS ARE GONNA  DIE!!!!

OK, maybe not.  But thanks for doing a 24/7 job with class, and in a way that did Michigan proud, in the dirt sandwich world that is recruiting.

I'm coming with you, Tom!  So many of us (myself included) have despised ESPN for various reasons but this is just another example of the WWL making another amazing business decision.  ESPN would never have seen a single dollar of mine unless the absolute best Wolverine recruiting guy was headed over there.  But now, whatever the price, it'll be worth it.

WHat exactly is TOm going to do at ESPN?  This confuses me since he now works for espn but says he will still cover Michigan recruiting.  Is there some puzzle piece i'm missing?

 

Good luck though Tom!  ESPN's recruiting service is my least favorite of the big 3-4 but if they start hiring guys like TOm it will definitely shoot up in quality.
