if we go 0/2 on Clark and Marshall I will be  disapointed, however geting everyone that Webb predicts would be a good finish.

on Michigan and UCLA. I think knowing that Harbaugh would coach him up to be a high draft pick TE in the NFL may make him go with his original choice! Michigan!

be just totally thrilled with this outcome!

I admit I would feel a pang when Marshall commits to USC. I had visions of an insane pair of DBs. :)  At this point, I don't think any honest coach could possibly do a better job trying to get him.

Hey guys, longtime fan of MGoBlog, first time posting.

But I'm wondering, why is everyone so sure Clark's goin to UCLA? Why would a beautiful location be enough to lure him away from Harbaugh when they don't even use tightends?

Did he actually say something?

Just my opinion, but I think Clark wants to go where he can be the tight end.  He is a top 100 recruit, one of the best tight ends in this class and is 100% justified if this is the case.  How many teams can spread the ball to two high caliber pass catching tight ends at the same time. I always thought it highly unlikely that we get Wheatley and Clark for this reason.I know that DE is a need for this class, but as hard as the staff was going after other DEs in conjunction with Wheatley/Clark, I think they prefer Wheatley as a offensive weapon.  I further think thatAliz'e Jones going to South Bend opened up an opportunity for Clark in L.A.  His trending UCLA blue, however, bodes well for TJ going AA blue.

several weeks ago, before his last visit to AA, he'd told several people he was basically going to UCLA (even before he visited, I believe), according to Webb. The visit with Harbaugh and co. helped sway him back near 50-50, but I think people are speculating that it's just not enough.

many times Webb mentions relationships with other recruits as a big factor. I didn't get the sense Michigan had that kind of push this year. It's understandable because of the coaching change.

I have 3 MGoPoints! I have 3 MGoPoints! And don't you bastards dare take them away!

But seriously, I hate to interrupt this conversation like a noob on WoW, but what do I do with MGoPoints?

It sort of works like an old-style stamp redemption center. If you get enough MGoPoints, you march right down to the nearest center and trade them in for a tasteful desk lamp or perhaps a cheap but serviceable end table. They are also redeemable in times of community need wherein people will donate points to those less fortunate.

Oh, you got it, I'll never talk about them. 

Speaking of which, do I get any pity points for going to MSU? I wanted to go to Michigan, but got rejected. After being a life-long M fan, being here is like being spoonfed poison.
