Weekend Visitors
Can we compile a list of who's confirmed/might come?
I thought I saw somethiing on Twitter saying that Darboh is taking an official to Wiscy this weekend. Over UM-ND? Interesting.
Any word on Dunn?
Scout is saying the list is up near 40. Recruiting Roundup should be good tomorrow morning.

Erik Magnuson - Commit
September 8th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
Also, Magnuson is reportedly coming on an unofficial, and returning for his official for the OSU game with Josh Garnett.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:11 AM ^
Garnett? Hopefully this is the building of a monsterous offensive line for years to come!
September 8th, 2011 at 11:28 PM ^
that Magnuson bit scared me, i thought maybe i missed something

Darboh's visit choice is a bit concerning...
September 8th, 2011 at 10:04 PM ^
Meh, I'm not too worried about it. He was supposed to visit last weekend IIRC and had to delay due to a family conflict. For all we know, he already had this other visit booked at that time. I'm sure he'll make it down sometime soon.

Sam Webb talked about Darboh and his need to get his family on campus on today's recruiting roundup, issuing a provisional gut feeling about him:
I have a gut feeling that once he gets his guardians on campus that Michigan won't be caught. That's just my gut feeling on the matter. . . . If he gets his family up in a reasonable amount of time, my gut feeling is that they'll [meaning Michigan] get him.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
He doesn't want Brian Kelly to turn purple and scream at him from across the field.
September 8th, 2011 at 9:36 PM ^
Kind of bummed that Garnett won't be attending. He and Magnuson seem to be getting close as friends, would have been nice to have that connection.
September 8th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
They are visiting together for the OSU game. Magnuson's visit for this game is an unofficial. Also Dunn is a definitely maybe to attend The night game.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:15 PM ^
Garnett is waiting to take his officials until after the season, so I wouldn't get too disappointed. He's taking an unofficial to Washington this weekend b/c it's his hometown team. With Banner - his good friend - taking an official, I like Michigan's chances of landing one from Garnett.
September 8th, 2011 at 9:36 PM ^
I was hoping to see Dunn there :(
September 8th, 2011 at 9:43 PM ^
Read on twitter Shaq Wiggins is attending the UF game this weekend.

Darboh isn't coming...maybe someone is silent or planning to commit? I really liked Darboh but that doesn't sound good for the Wolverines.
edit: Or maybe he made previous plans to visit Wisconsin..hmm.

I find myself completely at ease about recruiting at this point. This offseason has proved to me, that thus far, the coaches have a pretty damn good handle on the recruiting front. So if people are taking other visits, or delaying visits at this point, I'm not gonna worry to much about it. I think the prospects that have waited this long probably are not as concerned about ending the recruiting process early. They'll take their visits, and in the end, I think we end up with a very good class.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:16 PM ^
Good point, maybe I should start thinking that way.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
I think Jordan Payton may be planning to commit this weekend.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
And I for one, would be more than happy to have him. I know some people think he's overrated, but I think he's very polished. Not explosive, but still have some elusiveness a la Hemmingway. He did put up 1000 yards as a sophomore and 900 as a junior while missing two games. Four years of starting at a big time high school should have him more college ready than a more raw prospect like Powe. Payton would be a perfect pairing to a deep threat like Powe.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:54 PM ^
One newspaper reported that Payton had 9 catches for 103 yards and a TD in an OC loss.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Huge Hypothetical - Would the coaches take a commitment from Garmon this weekend? Or wait for Dunn?
September 8th, 2011 at 10:53 PM ^
just saw on twitter that Dunn is visiting Penn State this weekend. per 247
September 8th, 2011 at 10:55 PM ^
September 9th, 2011 at 10:22 AM ^
I was high on Garmon early on but haven't been following him since we dropped out of his top schools. I know he was big on UNC. Does anyone know how far we've moved up with their problems? I'd say a visit this weekend is encouraging.
As far as Dunn, I'm far from a recruiting expert but I get a Brandon Saine feel from him for some reason. Big back, great speed but little wiggle and elusiveness.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:58 PM ^
September 8th, 2011 at 11:15 PM ^
but how can you not want a DT named Poet?
September 8th, 2011 at 11:28 PM ^
September 8th, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
You remember how excited wel all were when we got BWC? He was supposed to eat people at DT. That hasn't panned out yet. I'd hold off on the #1 jersey talk
September 9th, 2011 at 9:01 AM ^
In soviet Ann Arbor, people eat BWC.
September 9th, 2011 at 1:37 AM ^
that Dymonte is coming, he will have to tell brionte how amazing it was.
September 9th, 2011 at 5:47 AM ^
I'll be disappointed if we don't land a commit! This game has all the ingredients to be a commitment bonanza
September 9th, 2011 at 10:03 AM ^
It seems like a lot of people are overlooking the fact that Jordan Payton will be there this weekend. As we all know, WR is a huge need for us at this time. I wish Garnett was going to be able to make it but I think right now it's more important that Jordan Payton will be on campus than anyone else, with the exception of Dunn.
September 9th, 2011 at 11:00 AM ^
ill be there with pom poms in hand
