across sports. I like it.

This dude is a beast!

Arms race!

I know it's high school competition...but he can ball.

He runs like he's pissed off. Looks for contact. It routinely takes 3-4 ppl to bring him down.

We need Fred Jackson to give us his Hershel Walker-esque quote on him...

I'm sure it's something like...speed of a cheetah, power if a freight train, vision better than Dr. Rahmani...

The best players in michigan go to michigan.

I am excited to see that we filled another need with a highly touted Michigan player.

to the party but can't wait for tomorrow's full post! Go Blue!!

Now if we can get him to put the correct uniform on for home games we're golden!

  I was just thinking yesterday how it seemed like such a long time since there were new commits to drool over.  Today has been sweet.

 

  Burn a couch, friendo.

 

  Go blue!

Webber/Cole   Harris/Campbell.  I was so psyched when we had Harris and Campbell almost a year ago and while I am sorry to see them go, am very very happy to get Webber and Cole in our  class.  The RB drama has been so long it makes getting Webber a huge relief.

Great way to end my day. Got off work, checked mgoblog, and saw our top RB target committed. Can't wait to see this kid tear it up in the Big House. Hoke is a beast on the recruiting trail. Get them on campus and reel 'em in! Can you imagine the results if we rattle off 10/11 wins a year? I really want a B1G title this year to see all their hard work pay off. This staff really does deserve it.

He took his trip to USC and cleaned his pipes then came back and committed to the good guys.  

My warmest regards to the staff for this news!

And of course, thank you Mike Webber!

That was quick! I'm glad Mr. Weber picked Michigan!  Best of luck Mr. Weber both on the field and in the classroom. I think he will be the perfect fit at RB for Michigan. He will be a bruiser who has speed and toughness. Hoke and his coaches continue to do a great job recruiting. I hope this is the year that Hoke can get some more wins!

Weber will be Marshawn Lynch in a winged helmet.  Great pickup.

makes me happy.

The best part was that he decided sleep was more important than a visit to that other team in Michigan.  

Head to head with State for Cole and Weber and we get both...Love it. We lost out on Thompson but I was much more worried about Cole and Weber vs the LB spot. Go Blue!!!!!!

Good morning, Mike Weber.  Happy to have you on board.   Wooooooooo.

I feel a health problem is starting to develope for a certain coach in Ohio...

we aren't recruiting galactically enough

Awesome!  He runs like he's mad at the grass.

I like the photo but why is he wearing a road jersey at home??

Just askin'...

Hoke (and his staff) has done as good a job in recruiting as anybody in the country, and has done so pretty much from the beginning here.

Woohoo, this is great news!  and most surprising!

A top 150 type back, with some improvement could be a top 100 player but I don't think he's there yet. In tight spaces he does a great job getting behind his shoulder pads and punishing tacklers, getting extra yards in the process. Does a good job getting low and bringing his shoulder pads, legs, and feet with him. Has excellent burst in and out of cuts where he can get vertical immediately. Has good vision, and from all accounts has good hands as well.

He does need to improve in two areas I feel to take the next step, both of which apply in the open field: he needs a bit better open field speed, his burst is great but doesn't consistently run away from defenders when he gets into the open field; and he needs better feet and balance in the open field. You see several times on the sideline he burst up the sideline like he's shot out of a cannon, but he doesn't seem to have the feet or core strength to maintain his balance. He allows defenders to get into his feet and trip him up a bit in the open field as well. If he improves his balance, a lot of those 15-25 yard gains turn into TDs a the high school level.

FWIW: after Scott committed to MSU, MSU was supposedly recruiting Weber for their Flex position. Last year, RJ Sheldon played that role, mostly as a RB, but this year is more of a WR. It's the Keshawn Martin role. So that gives you some feel for his burst and hands, that MSU felt he fit best into that role.

He should fit very well into a zone blocked scheme at Michigan, and for how Nuss likes to utilize RBs out of the backfield.

It's morning, Ace. I've been waiting patiently since midnight.

In some ways Damien Harris chopping us off his list this past week contributed to Weber committing to us. Harris putting us out of our misery allowed the coaches to go full speed at Weber. I'm sure it had been happening for some time and the coaches probably knew Harris was turning to the dark side but it probably helped Weber too.

So next year we'll have Green, Smith, Isaac, Johnson, and Weber.

If AT LEAST one great running back doesn't emerge out of that stable..

Go Blue!
