Aubrey Solomon, Otis Reese Commit To Michigan
Always good to get a guy from Batman HS. [Keith Neibuhr/247]
247's Steve Lorenz reports Michigan, currently hosting a huge group of prospects for their camp, has picked up commitments from a pair of Georgia teammates:
2017 Top100 DT Aubrey Solomon and 2018 4* S/LB Otis Reese have committed to #Michigan; story coming: https://t.co/gepMEhzSS4
— Steve Lorenz (@TremendousUM) June 18, 2016
Both play for Leesburg (GA) Lee County, where Michigan co-hosted a satellite camp with Georgia earlier this spring. Aubrey Solomon is ranked as the #6 DT and #94 overall prospect in the country.
Otis Reese, who Lorenz reports is being recruited as a SAM in Don Brown's defense, is an early four-star ranked by 247 as the #117 overall prospect in the 2018 class.
I'll have Soloman's full commitment post up as soon as I can get it together. Reese's will go up tomorrow.
Mickey Rooney's great grandson, welcome Rooney!
and Solomon and Reese too!!!
A big ol' southern boy that can move and hit. Harbaugh taking recruits from the south and eventually beating SEC schools with them is like making the metaphor of, "ripping off your arms and beating you with them" a real life practice.
Maybe they have a point . . .
It's a joke, son.
They are scared to death of Harbaugh, and apparently for good reason.
Give credit to Saban for being the canary in the coal mine about the Harbaugh threat, even if he hid the real reason for his concern behind some fake "Think Of The Children" bullshit.
He's a lying hypocritical dick, but nobody ever said he wasn't a smart man.
He's worried about the SEC's fertile turf, and rightly so.
You hit the nail on the head my man.

No reason for their coaches to worry. I like the Leesburg coach, good attitude.

for every player at the camps to be prepared. What have you been doing today? /s
Great pick up for Harbaugh. Things are coming together.
is the absolutely greatest one I've ever seen.
It captures perfectly what Harbaugh is in the eyes of SEC fans everywhere: the living, breathing personification of The Grinch himself.
It's probably even worse for them, though. The Grinch takes what he wants on only ONE day a year.
Wheatley is #3
Partridge is #4
Well paddle my ass and call me Judy - some sweet Sat afternoon news right out of left field.
Funny because on twitter, before his visit to Michigan, Soloman was talking about how Georgia was his best visit and he was sure to go back. That must mean that his Michiigan visit was awesome!!
Also, Reese was 75% crystal ball to Georgia.
Michigan is stealing those recruits from Georgia.

Why don't he say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Woof Woof Woof!

At least we have plenty of Grade A eggs to count.
You know who has to worry about counting their chickens? Alabama. And Auburn. And Georgia.
Harbaugh is gonna have some SEC scrambled eggs for breakfast.
cheer for good news? We don't need anyone to remind us that it isn't LOI day yet, that not all highly ranked recruits pan out, etc. Seriously, who doesn't know that? I'm excited to see us adding a couple of talented players from Georgia. DT is an important need in this class.
Welcome to the Maize and Blue Aubrey and Otis!
Thanks Mr Miggle, for voicing what most of us are thinking. I dont need my dad to give me a reality check. Recruiting is imagination land.
Maybe Kirby shoulda shown up to the Georgia camp on time? Or stayed longer? Or tried a little harder? Haha

Wait until Nico Collins, #1 player in the state of Alabama, commits to Michigan, then you can listen to that show. That will be glorious.

But . . . but . . . I thought Finebaum and Malzhan said that we would never be able to get a recruit that any of the big-name SEC schools actually wanted.
They were just looking out for us stealing kids from Louisiana Tech and South Alabama.
Bless their hearts.

How does this fit into the SEC narrative of "Michigan won't poach players southern schools actually want"? See Malzahn's quote (granted this about Alabama, but the statement still applies IMO):
"The chances of a team up north coming into our state and a player that us or Alabama wants are slim to none. So it was just a matter of that was the big story. Our league right now, if they're going to keep doing it, we've chosen to be a part of that. So we'll see where that goes."
Better ask Nico Collins about them chances! If he commits too - woooooo boy. Something something something non-commitable offers, or something.
The 2018 class now consists of 4 players. 2 from Georgia and 2 from Ohio.
New story line is Michigan can't recruit in Michigan. /s
He's doing really shitty in New Zealand too.
The man just can't recruit.
Georgia was the one SEC school willing to host a camp with us.
#SorryNotSorry
It's a dog eat dog world, my friend. If you don't put in the time, then someone else will, and you'll always be on the outside looking in.

Cause I don't ACTUALLY feel bad. But I do give a kind of "aww man, couldn't it have been Bama or Auburn or Ole Miss?" for 1.5 seconds just because Geogia didn't jump in the sat camp bashing and they hosted with us.
But regardless, I don't care...1.5 second has been up, I'm glad these kids are blue - I hope we can keep them both. GO BLUE!
It may have been more a case of Smart keeping his enemies close than actually "co-hosting" with Harbaugh..
Kirby Smart wasn't willing to host a satellite camp with us. He was willing to show up at our camps for a little while and do a little scouting, no coaching. The only Power 5 school that was going to host us for a camp was Baylor.
Other SEC schools have sent coaches to our satellite camps too. Miss St. was at Pearl, MS for example.
