can he play pass defense? Nice highlights though.
January 24th, 2011 at 11:02 PM ^
You want to talk about laying mother fuckers out.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
January 24th, 2011 at 8:32 PM ^
I appreciate everything you do for Michigan Fans! If it isnt concrete, I am glad you say it isnt.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
forgive them Tom. Most of us know. You don't want to spoil anything for the players.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
You know Tom; we've been through such rough times that now good news is hard to believe when we hear some. So can you make that a triple post, please? You know just to make us feel better. Thank you!
January 24th, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
I felt like the post was pretty straightforward (as much as it can be without saying it directly), not sure how it confused people. Maybe we should start calling you the riddler.
January 24th, 2011 at 10:12 PM ^
This policy sounds a lot like my girlfriend's
January 24th, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
but I am already loving Greg Mattison.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
Poole was supposed to be deciding tonight whether to take his last official visit to Pitt or Michigan--aka who rounds out his top 5 choices. Mattison pays him a visit tonight and now he has committed to Michigan?? That is some dynamite stuff. Forget snake oil and the pimp hand...Mattison may soon need a meme to trump all memes. That picture of Ray Lewis is already getting a lot of mileage.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
I love OMM
January 24th, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
Goes the mattison dynomite ! Explosive.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
January 24th, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
Well said, all Mattison has to do is show the text picture of R. Lewis blowing some running back up, and the recruit replies, were do I sign on my LOI !
January 24th, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
Great news!
January 24th, 2011 at 8:42 PM ^
Awesome!!
I'm ready to add another great player to my There are... posts!!
Go Blue!!
January 24th, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
Imagine if they had another week to work!
Tom who's next on the "Hit List"?
Is there a big O lineman on the fence anywhere?
January 24th, 2011 at 8:48 PM ^
Chris Bryant, as far as I know, is still likely blue.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:00 PM ^
Imagine if Brandon would've hired Hoke in December. We'd have a top 20 class for sure. Not to mention we might've put up a better fight against Miss. St.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:06 PM ^
If we hired Hoke in December, we probably wouldn't have Mattison.
January 24th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
+1 to you. Everything works out for a reason. God loves a Michigan Man too you know.
January 25th, 2011 at 9:34 AM ^
You might make DB look smart...
January 24th, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
Not to mention we might've put up a better fight against Miss. St.
No
January 24th, 2011 at 9:08 PM ^
Keep your eye on Ryan Nowicki, the T currently committed to PSU.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:38 PM ^
January 24th, 2011 at 11:16 PM ^
Any relation to former UM tackle Bryant Nowicki?
January 24th, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
January 24th, 2011 at 8:47 PM ^
Espnu has a note that Jake is nearing to a final decision. At the end it's going to be the Might AA or the little school out of EL. Come on Jake, go blue.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
January 25th, 2011 at 9:37 AM ^
According to ESPN, Oregon & Florida are still in it as well...
January 24th, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
Am I the only person who doesn't follow this stuff at all? I can't come close to keeping an eye on the whims of 18 year olds. I had to look up Antonio Poole on Google just to figure out who he was...
January 24th, 2011 at 9:04 PM ^
I follow it, but stopped allowing myself to become emotionally invested a couple years ago.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
Yeah, now I've just got to stop being emotionally invested in the football games and just enjoy them...
January 24th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
...with that. My guess is that spending the next few years in A2 will probably suboptimize any effort of yours to become unemotional about M football games.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
He seemed like a lock for Michigan for a while over the summer..but the offer never came. So this isn't the first time he's been on M's radar.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
No you are not alone. It has gone pretty far beyond reasonable, but if it gets folks pumped up go for it.
I did the exact same thing as you - had to google him..
January 24th, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
where we hang on the whims of 18 year olds.
Last year we were jump-up-and-down excited when 5* Big Will Campbell comitted to us after announcing earlier he had dropped us.
All that and he still hasn't played a meaningful down for Michigan.
Oh well, we're just having some fun.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:06 PM ^
January 24th, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
Any insight ?. At this rate we will eclipse the 20 recruit mark before NSD. Awesome.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
I don't think we have more than 20 to give out?
January 24th, 2011 at 9:53 PM ^
January 24th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
Tom is being like parents on christmas. You know, you start to be like "I really hope santa got ____" and your parents are like "well, you'll just have to trust santa."
Luckily Tom isn't fake, and linebackers are so much cooler than pokemon cards.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
Good to hear, and welcome Poole to the UM family. Hoke definitely doesn't seem to be afraid of hitting the recruiting trail hard, which is a positive. I still think this class will suffer because of Brandon's decision-making (and let's not bury RR here - some more public support from the AD probably would have netted more commits), but I like the passion shown by Hoke for trying to get as many good kids as possible for this class.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
To a great next few days leading towards NSD. 2012 is going to be out of this world. !
January 24th, 2011 at 9:29 PM ^
anybody tell me why the old staff didn't not offer this guy?I'm glad that are DC can recuirt.GO BLUE!!!
January 24th, 2011 at 9:31 PM ^
Probably because they had a silent commit from Army All American Kris Frost. Also, you should proofread things.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:51 PM ^
Should be avoided if possible.
