Anthony Solomon to Announce Commitment Tonight
December 16th, 2018 at 4:36 PM ^
This should be good news..right??
December 16th, 2018 at 4:38 PM ^
Yeah, I think the only question was if there was room if DeLoach decided on Michigan but he's sticking to his FSU commitment.
December 16th, 2018 at 4:47 PM ^
I assume he was the commit watch player from a few weeks ago.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:42 PM ^
Re DeLoach Webb says that may be premature.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:02 PM ^
How so? We didn't hear a bell type premature?
December 16th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
Good 'ol Sam.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
"Re DeLoach Webb says that may be premature."
Show us where Webb said that.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:33 PM ^
Big Boutros said this in the thread about DeLoach.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
Considering this is a good thing, I'm sure Sam said it. You know Diagonal would never make up positive recruiting news to post on this board.
December 16th, 2018 at 4:37 PM ^
Offer sheet is impressive. He looks small, but obviously plays big.
December 16th, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
It’s all about speed these days. He needs to put on weight but it looks like the days af the 6-3, 6-4 ILB are almost over. Only a few of the top 25 ILB recruits in the rivals rankings is more than 6-2.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
It's a shame he's also slow.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
I think it has been all about speed for a long time now. To me, the end of the big lumbering linebacker came in the late 80s or early 90s. One game in particular was significant in this regard for Michigan -- or at least it seems like it was to me because I was there. It was when Michigan played Florida State I think in 1990 or 91. I know it was a much hyped game since both teams were highly ranked. Michigan had a bunch of huge slow linebackers with neck rolls -- Erick Anderson and Steve Morrison -- good Big 10 linebackers but not super fast -- and Florida State had Amp Lee on offense and Terrell Buckley on defense. We were so slow in space that it was laughable. That's when the whole "speed kills" phrase got started I think. Anyway they scored like 50 points on Michigan's defense, which was thought to be great before that game. I know we were undefeated in the Big 10 that year and beat OSU and all that, but it revealed in striking ways a terrible disparity between the Big 10 and the "fast" teams from down south.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:27 PM ^
He'll look bigger on TV.
December 16th, 2018 at 4:39 PM ^
Another Devin Bush?
December 16th, 2018 at 5:15 PM ^
He's a slight big taller and about 20 lbs lighter than Bush at the same age. He will need a year or two to put on mass before he can be inserted into Bush's spot.
I like McGrone and Ross as the LBs with Anthony and Gill as the backups in 2019... Uche will be the SAM when in a true 4-3 alignment.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:29 PM ^
That is a lot of speed.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:28 PM ^
Deloach is the guy I thought looked like another Bush. Solomon doesn't look bad, but he isn't the heat seeking missile that Deloach/Bush are.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:46 PM ^
Lots of speed. But none of these guys are as good or as fast/quick as Devin Bush,
December 16th, 2018 at 4:42 PM ^
Hopefully, it's good news.
Otherwise, the snowflakes will require the blog to post blizzard warnings, I think.
December 16th, 2018 at 4:44 PM ^
Pumped to get him on the team. He sounds like the kind of athlete who can keep the defensive machine humming.
December 16th, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
The only thing cooler than him committing would've been if he would've said "Devin Bush said he will take me under his wing next year"
December 16th, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
He says "OUR short comings in the state game" in the article. He's obviously blue.
December 16th, 2018 at 4:58 PM ^
I think he was talking about his team in the state playoffs, but yeah it seems like he's going to the good guys.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:28 PM ^
Yeah, he is talking about his HS team. STA lost the State title game this year and he mentions his leadership.
“We spoke about our shortcoming in the state game and how my leadership on the field showed class,” Solomon said.
December 16th, 2018 at 4:59 PM ^
Let's get this young man to Ann Arbor as soon as possible. Don Brown needs all of the fast and aggressive players he can get his hands on.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:01 PM ^
100% of Crystal Balls are to Michigan as of this post.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:03 PM ^
I would expect 110% for what we pay Harbaugh.
/s
December 16th, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
You obviously don't demand excellence. Anything under 300% is unacceptable.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:10 PM ^
Fire Pep!
December 16th, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
Seriously though give one name of a coach that you think can do a better job here and is reasonabley obtainable. Jim Harbaugh is the best coach for this job in the nation and I hope he chooses to stay another 30 years and retire and old legend of a man.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:19 PM ^
But can he cover a slant or a wheel route?
December 16th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Too soon
December 16th, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
FWIW, I think this is how the class finishes out:
-Anthony Solomon
-Cornelius Johnson
-Late 3 Star Safety or TE
All the optimism around Harrison and Hill will evaporate right before they sign with OSU and Alabama, respectively.
No shame in the way this class wrapped up. Lots of high end potential and high ceiling 3 stars to build off of.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:45 PM ^
Lots of high end potential and high ceiling 3 stars to build off of.
I love how everyone thinks every 3 star has a high ceiling. You can count on one hand the number of 3 stars Harbaugh has developed into all B1G players (Higdon, Runyan, Hudson). 3 stars don't beat OSU and get you into the CFP.
I personally think the class will close better than you think.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:48 PM ^
Oooo. I get to neg you first.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:50 PM ^
and thank goodness you are here to tell us, otherwise....well everything will be fine and nothing will change. Keep up the great work, DB. Only you can save us from our opinions
December 16th, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
DB....so accurate
December 16th, 2018 at 5:58 PM ^
I bet you can count on one hand the number of friends you’ve had your entire life.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
Yall are worse. It's like a competition to be the cool guy to argue with him and add your own stupid ass comments. Posters like you are the ones who actually make this board unreadable.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
Definitely some dorks on here overcompensating for getting stuffed in a trash can.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:55 PM ^
Then don't read it...
December 16th, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Can't not read it when pages of interesting threads are dedicated to these people.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
It’s too bad that this website doesn’t have futuristic features like “ignore user”. I wish someone would come up with something like that. Maybe google research can crack that very difficult problem.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
I agree, that would be nice. It would be even better if you could do it for users that have different names but are the same person. That way, we could ignore both you and Diagonal Blue with one click.
December 16th, 2018 at 8:00 PM ^
this should not be negged
December 16th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
I bet you brag about your mgopoints to people.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:05 PM ^
I bet you cry in the shower.
December 16th, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
Why are you picturing me in the shower Sandusky?
December 16th, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
Look mom...no hands.
