Sounds like it's sometime during the week. He has an official scheduled for Clemson this weekend.
January 25th, 2016 at 5:45 PM ^
Also, nice note on twitter... Brice Marich: NJ CB Jordan Fuller on Michigan recruiting New Jersey: "The effort they're putting in to get Jersey guys means something."

Well Venables likes him so that's a good sign. Looks like they are doing an in house tonight.
Clemson offered on 15th and UM on 16th - must have turned some heads at Semper Fi.
Sort of hilarious seeing Kansas lead for any top 300 prospect in crystal ballz - thats like Rutgers thinking they are going to pull a top 500 kid out of their own state. So cute.

A varsity jacket?

hence the varsity jacket.
In the SEC, though, it is a pro sport where special pants are apparently needed to keep your pants up from the weight of all the money.

Great that they got an official since there was a time when it didn't sound like he could fit Michigan in. Not great on the timing with a midweek visit and then a weekend at Clemson right after but getting him on campus is a great first step. He's not a hybrid LB the way Hudson would be, just would be a long athletic LB.
January 25th, 2016 at 6:02 PM ^
It would be hard to imagine though getting both Fuller and Simmons. I would LOVE to get one of them though.
January 25th, 2016 at 6:05 PM ^
We could semi-realistically have a DB class of Long, Hill, Fuller and Hudson. That doesn't even include Simmons or any of the guys currently committed who could play either WR or DB.
January 25th, 2016 at 6:04 PM ^
Lorenz seems pretty confident in getting Hudson, so I don't think Simmons has any bearing on that.
Also of note is that Harbaugh and Partridge have an in-home planned with Fuller on Wednesday, same day Simmons takes his official.
January 25th, 2016 at 6:10 PM ^
Luckily, Harbaugh has already met Simmons. So this OV is likely for him to see campus and meet DC Brown. Hopefully, it wont be an issue that they aren't there.
January 25th, 2016 at 6:51 PM ^
January 25th, 2016 at 6:07 PM ^
Great news, as I recall trying to get him to officially visit was an issue, if this is happening it's definitely a good sign.
January 25th, 2016 at 6:15 PM ^
These guys at the last minute?
His name has been out there, but never connecdted to Michigan.
The machine is working overtime.
January 25th, 2016 at 6:18 PM ^
January 25th, 2016 at 6:20 PM ^
We worried about Hudson, maybe it's Hill we should worry about.Maybe he visited yesterday to tell the staff he going to State.

People are reading way too much into this stuff. Not every offer/recruit by the staff has to do with another player. The staff just likes Simmons as a player. His recruitment may/probably has nothing to do with any other player.
It makes sense too. If the staff really likes Fuller and Hill and Hudson and Simmons, why not go after all 4? That way if one commits somewhere else, you're already pursuing all of them. And then if all of them want to commit, that's a good problem to have.
Even if that staff likes a guy like Hudson/Fuller more than Simmons, it makes no sense not to recruit Simmons now. If we end up missing out on one of them, we have a better shot at Simmons if we start recruiting him now so he can take an OV than if we start if we miss out on Hudson on Wednesday. And then if Simmons wants to commit, the staff can take him or slowplay it a bit to let a guy like Fuller or Hudson commit first if they need the space for them.
January 25th, 2016 at 9:20 PM ^
Those players are not mutually exclusive. With a bunch of guys graduating soon, we need all the quality DBs we can get.
January 25th, 2016 at 7:22 PM ^
Serious question...Why neg the OP?

I think Hudson goes Blue. Penn State is struggling to keep a class as everyone is decommitting. Did you see the way they used Hill as a prop during the hockey game, and skating on the edge of an NCAA violation?
The guy already decommitted. How thirsty is that??????
