Chris Wormley?
I just haven't talked to him yet. Like I said in the beginning of the post this is just who I've confirmed so far and the list will keep growing.
Yeah my bad.. Skipped through the instructions and went strait to the good stuff. (That's what she said)
Whoa. You can't TWSS yourself. This isn't Nam, there are rules.
that's what she said.
:(
Hopefully this BBQ reassures Richardson that Michigan is the place for him and more importantly that the fellow commits are people he wants to play with.
GBOD
And fans. Is this event open to the public/where will it be held, Elbel or indoors somewhere?

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?
...is consumed. It's a meat and greet.
I heard some might steak their claim to a spot on the team...
It's a good time to ketchup with the other commits, as well.
And we mayo may not get another commit out of the gig.
Hopefully they'll relish these moments when they go to make their decisions.
Only if the coach doesn't grill them on their decision...
It'll be hotter than cakes on a griddle. Hopefully the heat doesn't cause anyone to waffle on their decision to attend. Perhaps someone has a link. The guys who DO attend will get a chance to show their true grits.
I can keep going.
I can keep goingI believe you! Edit What I want know is: Who started this?
it's the only thing that separates us from the animals
you're really only supposed to use one, or two if you can fit them a in brief sentence...
You must be the only the guy that eats waffles at a BBQ
Chicken and waffles...Mmmmm.
Waffles? Don't you mean carrots?
You're a turkey
Lettuce hope the coaches have a better recipe than that.
It's good to see Hoke is already starting on a new batch of recruits.
I had to reach, all of the obvious ones were already used.
Nothing wrong with reaching for some less obvious buns if it is done in good taste.
that a lot of these guys and the coaches have already mett.
Let me be frank, this is all very corny.
If they do, Tom VH will be the first to spill the beans about it.
I got this far down the thread...now I'm hungry.
Hoping the coaches can convince them from flipping their committments when other schools start heating up on them.
If we get all these guys, we're going to Smoke 'Em.
The coaches want to see if the new recruits pass (the) muster.
Wormley and Diamond attend the BBQ so they will be impressed and sign on with us so they can slaw-ter tosu next year.
but I hope Hoke lets them know there's no place for hot dogging on the field
It's a meat eat, where you meet and greet
Tom, the BBQ info is great and all, but we just really want to hear about your new gig!
Good. Very good. Really hope Diamond makes it up. Also, isn't this gonna be like the third time Elmer's been in AA in the past 2 months. That's good.
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.
Directly on point and prompt! Thanks Tom!
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?
That's a creeper violation.
Depends on where he hangs the flag
A recruiting violation, no.
A possible restraining order, qute possibly.
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.
