TomVH: DE Jordan Jenkins Offered
Georgia DE Jordan Jenkins (6'3", 233 lbs) was offered by Michigan today. Defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery called him and offered him. Jenkins has 13 offers now including Alabama, Auburn, Florida, and South Carolina. I'll have his quotes in the Weekly Update on Monday.

Not that I see anything wrong in offering a kid with those caliber of offers, but we seem to be offering a lot of DEs. I haven't seen much on WRs and other areas of need.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
Michigan has offered somewhere around 11 wide receivers and 5 tight ends, compared to offering around 9 defensive ends so far.

Happens to the best of 'em
February 18th, 2011 at 10:24 PM ^
Those damn facts get in the way again. I hate that.

Well thank you, I just haven't heard much about it. And ok I realized I got pwnd, no need for the repeated reminders.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:51 PM ^
You just received a proper backlashing.
February 19th, 2011 at 12:06 AM ^
You just got Tom Rolled

Did we offer this many high level prospects at this time (or any time) last year? I just may not have noticed it, but it seems like this year everyone that we offer is an elite level prospect; its nice to see.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:39 PM ^
Just my thinkng here, but with all of the speculaton over 2010 being RR's last year, there were a lot of kids (of the blue chip perusasion) that wanted nothing to do with us last year because, who wants to go through a coaching change.

You don't understand, brah. Rodriguez offered 3 star diamonds in the rough who were destined to be the equivalent of 5 stars in his system! Totally, dude.
February 19th, 2011 at 11:45 AM ^
Will not comment on last year - the past is the past. But I like the observation on this year. WE SHOULD offer the best and brightest that fit with Michigan. If we truly believer that we are a premier program, we need to offer premier talent and try like heck to recruit them and coach them up.
February 19th, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
let's not all start sucking each others dicks yet. We've put out a lot of offers to elite guys, but it's not like we've seen commitment after commitment (not that we should expect to see many at this point). Last I checked, we're a year away from signing day, and there's a possibility that none of these guys end up blue.
I'm as excited about the potential this new staff is showing on the recruiting trail as everyone else. I just think people might be getting ahead of themselves with the comparisons to the prior staff -- we haven't even seen a full recruiting cycle out of Hoke/Mattison & Co. yet.

Drop in Monty. That broadcasting school is really paying off.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:46 PM ^
"Take over Monty. I'm, in the bag..."
"Me?.....Fly ball.......Caught."
February 18th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
Anybody got insight on whether or not Hoke plans to hit up Lifeskills for some prospects?
February 19th, 2011 at 12:10 PM ^
he ONLY picks cream of the crop academic all-americans. Like Thomas Rawls.
February 18th, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^
Awesome as always Tom!! Hey, any info on how the visit for James Ross went today?
February 18th, 2011 at 10:43 PM ^
Do you have any info on Ross possibly leaning towards tosu, or if that rumor holds any truth?
February 18th, 2011 at 11:07 PM ^
I heard from another board(Scout) that he wasn't leaning toward anybody at the moment but not much more detail after that. I was hoping Tom might have some more info on the matter?
February 18th, 2011 at 11:10 PM ^
What are YOU drinking tonight?
February 18th, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
TomVH only drinks the blood of his enemies, and occasionally a strawberry Yoohoo.
February 18th, 2011 at 11:42 PM ^
What enemies does Tom have? Who could hate Tom?

Open the Franklin County phone book and start reading alphabetically.

Hey Tom. Any news on possible offers to DT Jonathan Taylor and his friend who is a DE/TE out of Georgia? I watched their film and although they both looked great Taylor is an absolute beast and apparently they are interested in Michigan and a package deal (which i know falls through sometimes but thats a different topic). I was just wondering where you thought Michigan stood on these two and what are chances are of getting them to even visit or even commit if offered? Thanks
February 18th, 2011 at 11:59 PM ^
I had an update on these two yesterday, right here. The Michigan coaches know about them, I plan on calling their coach next week to see if there's any movement.
February 19th, 2011 at 12:09 AM ^
Wow alright thanks. You are great, unreal how quick you replied. Appreciate it but I guess whats your gut say on our realistic chances on landing these two now that I read your update?
February 19th, 2011 at 9:05 AM ^
As the saying goes, "You have to be in it to win it."
February 19th, 2011 at 3:41 PM ^
Any new news between Michigan and Bam Bradley, I'm curious as to why everyone thinks we have such a good shot with this kid Bradley as well, because everything I have read so far says he likes Michigan State more than us right now...not even bringing tOSU into that comparison. Any information I'm missing?
As for my own personal information... thought i would let you know that I have heard from a strong source that Jordan Diamond is really enjoying his Ann Arbor trip so far and getting to know the team and some coaches well. I still do NOT expect an early commitment as I have explained earlier.
As always thanks Tom for keeping us updated
