Possible commitment coming up soon? via 247sports (update)
Steve Wiltfong, one of the mods over at 247sports.com, just tweeted:
Just got a piece of news that's going to make Michigan fans very excited when I can release.#Wolverines

Rivals mentioned that it might not be McCray and suggested that it might be another top recruit we are after, don't want to mention who since the information is paywalled...think it might be time to
Update: According to Aqua, it is not Gedeon:
I just talked with Ben Gedeon, who said he has not committed to Michigan.

Gedeon?
I'd be surprised if it's Gedeon. Sounds like he's pretty intent on taking more visits. Then again, Levenberry sounds like he wants to take more visits as well.
so we get Gedeon today,McCray tomorrow and Isaac sunday??
McCray isn't announcing Thursday. Probably still thinking things over.
But Gedeon wouldn't make me "very excited", no offense to him. It has to be someone bigger, this could be Isaac. Like I said earlier, I'm hearing a lot of buzzz about him coming off the board soon.
he never said that. he has always said that it could happen early and it could happen late. he has no set time table. so i wouldnt be surprised if its him.
I would love it if it was Gedeon. That being said, Gedeon isn't in the 247 Sports Top 247 list. If Wiltfong is saying that its someone that Michigan fans would be "very excited" about, my guess he either means McCray or someone else like Issac.
Iv learned not to read to much into the "very excited" "big" type of talk...thats for new sunscribers purposes and they tend to do that on alot of recruits exciting or not .... with that said they got me because im very excited.
Each team only gets 15-25 recruits a year, so when one commits, I think it's still exciting and that's generally the idea recruiting reporters are going for with their tweets (especially since the recruits are often following the reporters and probably wouldn't do post-commitment interviews if they're tweeting "Hey #Michigan, get meh, you're getting a commit that will lower your average class star ranking").
I'd be excited for any of the people it sounds like may commit - Gedeon, McCray - or someone out of left field we're after hard.
How the heck do you only have 223 points? It seems every single time you post you get 3-5 points. You are the most popular non-michigan fan here!
Those points do not count anymore... unfortunately.
what would really be exciting is if Tacopants decided to stop being a punk and gave his infinite eligibility to Mike Martin.
Seantrel Henderson. Book it.
Hello ........Demar Dorsey?
RDT, don't get my hopes up too much, I have been dreaming for Isaac to drop for a long, long, time (in a noncreepy way)
Hello: Kelly Baraka???
God, what a waste. I was covering high school sports for the Kalamazoo paper during Kelly's junior and senior years. Damn shame. Kid was an absolute beast.
Yuri Wright is visiting campus this weekend right?
I have to do work sometimes, ya know?
GIVE ME JUST ONE WEEK TO DO MY JOB.
lol, lawyers don't work!
Blue in South Bend - I know you're an attorney from prior posts. What area of law do you specialize in? You in the Midwest?
What'd you do?
(And I use "Greater" geographically, not comparatively)
I'm doing mostly contract law stuffs for a corporation. Nothing too exciting.
"Nothing too exciting."
Not when you talk about it like that its not.
Soon like F5 soon? Or soon like check back in 1/2 hour? Dammit.
Whos the two? Its recruiting world so I have no guess. I mean I am not Sam, Ace, or anyone of the other good guys! All I know is its good for us!
I can't even read the lettering for the F5 button anymore. I can do this all day baby!
If I left out any of the GBW or MgoBlog guys I just followed Sam and Ace on twitter yesterday so their names are fresh.
My Guess is O'Daniel.
It is very hard to bottle feed a baby and keep hitting F5! Killing me!
Try breast feeding.
But how could he read this board with his face buried in his wife's....oh, duh. Nevermind.
teach the kid to hit F5 for you.
not sure how big name he is but gareon conley is a possibility
I think Conley could be a decent pickup, but the tweet said "Very Excited", and honestly, Conley wouldn't be too exciting of a commit.
Question: Why does everyone think Isaac is going to commit soon? Hasn't everything we've heard from Isaac suggest that he's going to wait and take visits? Is it just because of reports of imminent commits and Isaac visiting this weekend that people are thinking he's the one?
I don't think he's committing this weekend, especially after he said this after his ND visit:
“I’m not close to making a decision, but I’d like to cut my list to a top three or top five after some more visits,” he informed. “Notre Dame and Michigan are two schools I’m comfortable with and they’ll definitely make my cut.”
We're well positioned when he's ready though. It's just not going to be now.
Can only go by what these guys say, because they are generally right. They were right about Logan Tuley-Tilman and Dawson, And no one on the board believed me then either. Just one of those things.
If you are right and hope to god you are, I will give you a valient ROLLLLLLL TIDEEEEEEE. Just this once.
what blog/insiders have been predicting these things?
I know you said the same thing about LTT (it was clear Michigan was LTT's favorite), but I felt that the string of OL commitments forced his hand, even though he wanted to take more visits. Isaac seems to be indicating similiar things, but he doesn't seem to be under pressure to make a commitment like LTT was. If you're saying that Michigan is Isaac's favorite, then that's great. I wouldn't necessarily be surprised by it. I'd be more surprised by a commitment in the near future though.
Putting myself in a running back's shoes, I'd start my evaluation of a school with scheme and O-line.
I'm trying to be objective, but I think it's about even between Michigan/ND for scheme and a definite push for Michigan in the O-line department (at least thus far in recruiting).
