Auden Tate re-tweets
I know these went out yesterday but I hadn't seen anything posted on them. I did a search before posting this and couldn't find anything on here. These are some retweets by Auden Tate and at the bottom we can see he started following Jim Harbaugh as well. It is going to be interesting to see what happens with recruiting when it is all said and done. I believe Harbaugh can still get us a top notch class.
Disclaimer: I do not have a twitter account and I do not tweet players but I do search them for recruiting tidbits. Also, I know there is probably a better formatting for this but unfortunately I do not know how to do it. Sorry.

Unreal - give the guy a break. The format was NOT difficult to read or understand. Some people around here are a little too coddled. The entitlement attitude lives on mgoblog.

Your avatar is pretty distasteful. It's like Willy Wonka, Teddy Roosevelt, and the Coca-Cola polar bears got together and had a baby. Can't you see how that might be offensive?!?!?!

I'm offended that you even brought it up!

What can I say? I'm a controversial character.

It's not you, it's me... I suppose it is difficult to watch all the complaining that happens on the site and not eventually respond. That's all it was. More directed at past misgivings than you, mgobleu. We're all brothers that bleed blue. It's cool. And you can insult my dog all day long. He has it coming...

The first reply and it's someone complaining. All too common around here. Nobody here really cares if somebody can't read twitter. There's no need to tell us about it. If you really can't stop yourself, then don't use words like awful and gobbedlygook in reference to the OP's post.

100% agree. The sense of entitlement of some on this board is ridiculous and a huge turn off. It's no wonder Michigan has been a divided house for almost a decade.
December 31st, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
Not sure why 26 people liked this post when it jumps all over a guy for doing somehting he really didn't do. His commentary was about twitter. This is obvious. Very cliquey. BTW, I totally agree with the general sentiment expressed in this post...just picked the wrong post/OP to address.
December 31st, 2014 at 9:57 AM ^
Don't be a cock. The guy is trying to post some good news. Give him a break for Godsakes. i'm tired of reading this kind of entitled garbage.
December 31st, 2014 at 10:29 AM ^
December 31st, 2014 at 1:37 PM ^
and the general tone that being able to read twitter or putting in 3 seconds of effort to figure it out is beneath you. Pretty sure that's where it comes from.

I will learn how to do this for future posts. Thanks for the advice. Do I have to do it in all caps though? /s

Harbaugh does not currently have a twitter
December 31st, 2014 at 9:26 AM ^
Somebody has a twitter account in the name of Jim Harbaugh. Even if it's not an official Jim Harbaugh twitter account...it's still a good sign that Auden Tate would follow it is it not?

plus I think it'll be vital for the next couple weeks until his staff gets to AA and settled.

Regardless of Tate, I think Harbaugh is going to have some nice surprises for us between now and signing day. He will assemble a killer coaching staff and, I bet, he will solidify this into a strong transistors so recruiting class.
December 31st, 2014 at 9:55 AM ^
For once, it should be a very interesting NSD.
I predict that there are going to be some big time programs that are going to be very mad at us on Feb 15th.

I do think Michigan should continue pursuing Auden Tate, but what I would really like to see is a guy who can stretch the field and/or catch-and-run. It seems like the last time we had a true burner was Mario Manningham, and Gallon was a great catch-and-run guy (and sometimes deep threat) in 2013.
December 31st, 2014 at 10:45 AM ^
But I understand what you mean, and completely agree. If Harbaugh can lock up one thing for this class I pray it's a truly fast WR.
Are there any updates whatsoever on Drake Harris?
December 31st, 2014 at 11:06 AM ^
Why is it that we don't seem to recruit guys who can catch out of the backfield? IIRC Kerridge was our surest option on the swing or outlet pass. On the other side of the ball we get killed by the dink and opposing RBs in space. Was it that much of a disruption to Al's or Nuss's offensive scheme?
December 31st, 2014 at 11:22 AM ^
Well, I don't think that's entirely accurate. We did recruit numerous guys who can catch out of the backfield, but we were unsuccessful in securing many of their commitments. For example, we went hard after Ty Isaac - who has great hands - but he chose USC. Obviously, he ended up at Michigan eventually.
I think it has just been kind of the luck of the draw. Al Borges didn't really seem to use the running backs in the passing game except for screens, but I don't think he specifically avoided those types of running backs. From what I've seen, Mike Weber is a decent receiver out of the backfield. Derrick Green isn't a good receiver, but oh well.
I think we have a couple backs who can catch. Hopefully Harbaugh will use that aspect of the offense a little more often.
