Wilton Speight Doing Work
The M Block has some info out on Drake Harris. In it included this quote from Drake:
"Wilton was just like, 'I want a top receiver like you to be able to throw the ball to.' He also said that I should hit him up sometime when he's in Ann Arbor and maybe me and him can meet up and throw. I will probably do that when he comes up here."
Wilton also told Coach Brown that he promises he can get Drake to commit. And I don't believe it's too far fetched. Drake said he's very interested in the University of Michigan, and obviously the depth is going to look really good for an elite prospect.
The best news may be Drake Harris' reply to Wilton earlier this week about him coming to AA.
S/O to @WiltonSpeight he's one of the best qb's in the 2014 class go follow him!
I'm hoping we can get Drake Harris, and it looks like Wilton is doing his best to convince him. What do you guys think? Wilton sure seems to be following in Morris' footsteps well.

It's always refreshing to see your school's top commits tweeting at other top prospects instead of the wannabe recruiting coordinator fans....

Edit: No luck on a fourth try.

Confused about the last tweet at the bottom...

quote good stuff?
February 10th, 2013 at 5:08 PM ^
The rest of it says 'then I guess you haven't been to AA.'

Thanks, for some reason the tweet won't embed correctly. And if I try to post any comments after it, it just deletes them. Maybe give it one more try:
Edit: Nope still doesn't work at all.

love the confidence to get a top receiver, even if we can't land Drake it would be great for him to attract ANY blue chip reveivers at this point

The quote from the Block M article is actually pretty interesting to me - you have to admire that Speight is apparently willing to at least try and close the deal on Harris, if you will, by personally staking his skills. I like the cofidence certainly.

So, since Shane isn't a student at Michigan yet, is he allowed to have contact with Wilson? Specifically, can Shane teach the kid up on his recruiting techniques?
February 10th, 2013 at 5:38 PM ^
Wilson?
About time Hoke got in on him.
February 10th, 2013 at 5:47 PM ^
Witon. Proof read. I'm a moron.

Wilton Speight has some big shoes to step into...
February 10th, 2013 at 5:48 PM ^
Not exactly sure who those ohio recruits are, but if they're DBs, I'm thinking they might have issues in the future of letting receivers get behind them without realizing it.
February 10th, 2013 at 6:27 PM ^
I'm not sure who they all are, but one of them is Cam Burrows, who is a CB.
So this is good news for us then.

Virginia has an excellent crop of players in 2014 - Hand, Andrew Brown, Quin Blanding, Nyquan Harris, Caleb Henderson, Jalyn Holmes, etc. I hope Speight can recruit a few of those guys...
February 10th, 2013 at 6:32 PM ^
Adoree' Jackson? He was talking about playing with Wilton and Ferns. Really wants to be the next Charles Woodson it seems. At least that's what I gather from his comments. He really wants that number 2 jersey.
February 10th, 2013 at 6:49 PM ^
He's a five star on Rivals.
Here's the tweet:
Adoree' Bomaye @AdoreeKnows I could see myself being #Michigan #Wolverines next Charles Woodson
He's alluded to it a few times since then. I'd say he at least has a strong interest in Michigan.

He better start talking with Malik McDowell. Per Allen Trieu, McDowell is a Notre Dame lean and visiting Ohio next weekend. If we lose 3 of the top 5 in-state recruits to Ohio and ND, it will look bad for us. You would think guys like Marshall and McDowell would love to play for Hoke and Mattison, two coaches who specialize on the d-line.

If we bring in all 5 of those (unlikely I know) that would be amazing .
February 10th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
I feel good only about our chances with Peppers. McDowell visiting Ohio next weekend worries me.
Hand, McDowell and Mone are all SEC-caliber defensive lineman and if we want to compete with the big boys, we have to land them.

Hand has named the UM coaching staff as his favorite and we're in his top 5. We just pulled Derrick Green. I don't understand why there is such level of pessimism and self-defeatism.

"It makes us look as if we're not grounded in reality."
Line of the year when it comes to recruiting.

Does nayone have a guess as to what kind of ranking Speight is going to have?
February 10th, 2013 at 6:56 PM ^

Stop. Stop it.
