Jordan Diamond not to Michigan per Ondre Pipkins
Per Ondre Pipkins, who I just spoke with, and his Twitter, Jordan Diamond is "100% not coming to Michigan".
EDIT: "his twitter" being Pipkins, not Diamond, just to be clear.
EDIT2: I am just going on what Ondre told me. I have no first hand sources with Diamond so I am only reporting what Ondre has said.

Devilishly clever. Everyone thought he was going to Michigan, then everyone thought he was 50/50 to Michigan. The only way to "Shock the World" is to get everyone thinking that he is not going to Michigan. Pipkins with the reset.

is peewee's twitter account gone now?
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:23 PM ^
Brady Hoke made him take it down because he was pissed about the Hoke Walk.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:27 PM ^
d'oh. he just changed his handle to PeeWeeUofM9456. i gotta get better at this twitter stalking thing.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:27 PM ^
add a UM between PeeWee and 9456. He updated it to show he's committed.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:23 PM ^
I know I should be happy with a top 10 class but if Kozan and Diamond both go else where it puts a real damper on this class
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:24 PM ^
It's still a top 10 class, regardless of whether they both go elsewhere or not.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
I'd rather have the #11 class with 5 OL commits
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:54 PM ^
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET. Boy you got it all wrong.
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:03 PM ^
Its times like these when I really miss The Wire...
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:03 PM ^
Logged in to up vote this and make you the scapegoat for the recruiting class

I would have kissed you if you had told me in January of 2011 that Michigan would land this class. Let's not lose the forest for the trees.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
It's a nice class. However, when a team goes 11-2 with a BCS win it would be nice if that paid off. So far it hasn't. That is what is disappointing about it all. Of course it may help with the next recruiting class, we'll see.
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:22 PM ^
Yes my statement was clearly flamebait, good call.

Actually, no, we couldn't.

STOP THE PRESSES!! CHANGE THE THREAD TITLE!

He lied to us... You've made a #GraveMistake (Optimus Prime) voice
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:25 PM ^
BuckeyeFlig tweet: Diamond NOT going to scUM according to scUM recruit RT "@PeeWeeUofM9456: Diamond isn't coming thts a fact keep ur heads up" #buckeyenation
Pipkins then tweeted this: Hahaha why are u disrespectin urbans initials lol
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:25 PM ^
then I'm looking forward to the HELLO post come 8pm.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:28 PM ^
Say it ain't so Pee Wee.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:29 PM ^
I think Chris Bryant will be happy for him wherever he goes, but its a long way to go home and be at the announcement event.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:30 PM ^
Following recruiting is kinda like watching the Jersey Shore. It's all drama and you always leave wondering why you bothered to follow it at all. But, in the moment it's hard to not pay attention. But, I'm getting a little of sick of following ever rumor and wondering are they coming? Are they not coming? At this point I'd almost rather close the doors & say no thanks to rest, you had your chance.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:53 PM ^
Holy crap dude, that is exactly -- word for word -- how I feel. Well done.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:30 PM ^
I never expected him to be Blue. If he ends up coming great, if not that's ok too. Same for Kozan. I'd rather have players that truly want to be a Wolverine.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:31 PM ^
maybe peewee meant we were lied to from the beginning?
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:34 PM ^
Odds are as follows
<br>
<br>Auburn 3/1
<br>Arkansas 5/1
<br>Michigan 8/1
<br>Wisconsin 12/1
<br>
<br>Something tells me he is going to Auburn or Wisconsin
<br>
<br>I'm still hoping though
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:08 PM ^
There's like a 40% chance he goes nowhere?
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:35 PM ^
I'm calling bullsh*t on this one, I think it's a ruse. That's what I'm sticking to until he probably breaks my heart :(
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:41 PM ^
i hope pip calms down wit twitter when he gets on campus.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
I recommend that we enjoy un-edited Pipkins while we can, because we won't get it after he gets to school.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:41 PM ^
...if he comes here great, if he doesn't come here our class is still great. Same with Kozan. I'm sure both of these guys are welcome with open arms by the team, but if they don't come, they know that the 2012 class is one hell of a class and 2013 will be just as good. Don't worry so much about recruiting guys. We have great coaches that know how to develope players and win.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:43 PM ^
This fucking sucks. No other way to say it.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:43 PM ^
no offense, but i'm a little annoyed at aquaman's stalking of all the recruits. without any knowledge of who he/she is, i picure eddie haskel every time i see the statement "i just spoke with ***** ****** and he said"
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
Tell us who you ARE!
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
Is it really stalking if they agree to speak with him and do the interviews?
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:55 PM ^
Does he really speak to them? From the sounds of it, he justs texts and tweets them. I agree, if he wants more credibility, he should reveal his identity.
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:03 PM ^
you don't screw with superheroes?
February 4th, 2012 at 12:37 AM ^
His "secret identity" is Arthur Curry.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
We're you irritated with TomVH when he was doing it for us?
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:09 PM ^
Aquaman and a few others run a TREMENDOUS blog that you should check out sometime. Nearly all of the players seem to generally enjoy their interviews, and we enjoy reading them. Also, WHERE IS YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE imaman im40!!!
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
Lets hope its a smoke screen and Diamond does "Shock The World"
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
His loss. He could have earned a world class degree.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:51 PM ^
Not in the know thank you for your support and information. Anyone speak with Jordan's mom?
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:51 PM ^
Call this trolling, but I think it must be said. This is getting a bit ridiculous. Pipkins, someone who has has actually spoken to Diamond, is saying he isn't coming here. Now we have people still speculating that it's a guarantee we're getting DIamond. Really people?
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
Pip also thought that Garnett was blue.
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
... could Ondre be punking us for funsies?
February 3rd, 2012 at 5:59 PM ^
Another rare post from a ong-time avid MGo stalker. While Diamond would be a good addition to the team talent-wise, I am much less excited about him, or Garnett (similar note re talent), person-wise and team-wise. It is clear to me that Garnett knew all along that he would be going to Stanford, and that he just strung out and lead on the Michigan fan base and, worse, fellow recruits for his personal enjoyment and aggrandizement. I have no idea who Diamond has meant to commit to all along and now. Perhaps it was/is Michigan. But it is similarly clear to me that he has been and remains most interested in his own personal aggrandizement, in particular his 'documentary' (if anyone should be interested) and his own look-only-at-me-post-signing-date announcement (going along with his similarly self-aggandizing coach), rather than 'The Team! The Team!' Give me Pipkins multiplied over and over again, instead, please.
