What happens at the BBQ?
I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but what happens at the BBQ? Is it just a meet and greet? Do they have campus tours or meeting with the academic advisors (similar to when a recruit visits)? Are any current or former players present?

Tom- Do you ever hear any rumblings about Keith Marshall. Sam mentioned him this morning on the Recruiting Roundup and said that he is a possible for the RB slot, may visit in the fall, but doesn't talk much about his plans.

I'll check with him. Last I had heard from him is that he'll likely stay in the south. He did tell me that he likes Michigan, but I still wouldn't get your hopes up yet.

Marshall goes to HS down the street from where I work. I plan on hanging outside his football practices with a "M" flag this year.....or would that be a recruiting violation?

A great list so far
A great list so far
The names I'm especially happy to see on the list are Danny O'Brien and Steven Elmer. I'd LOVE it if Bri'onte Dunn could attend too. The more we can get him up here, the better our chances are with him IMO. Of course, having the Cass Tech guys here makes me feel better too. Sounds like a great event and I look forward to seeing the final list. Thanks Tom.

true grit i must agree about obrien.
true grit i must agree about obrien.
If in fact we are taking two dlineman i want him as one of them. He had the best showing of all our dlineman at the opening by far. He just seems to have the pedigree that i believe hoke and company could turn into something really special. Also i think Wr is much more of an important spot than alot of people are talking about. I really hope we pick two and i hope that one of them is madaris as he would be yet another ohio kid and the third or fourth out of the cincinatti area. Thank you tom for the great info.
Chris Wormley?
