Details are paywalled...but we sure could use talented wide receivers. We courted him early but he chose USC last fall. He decomitted yesterday and has expressed interest in us again. He is at the Under Armour Game this week.

LB Prospect
Sorry if I've missed something, but who is this Elite LB prospect that is mentioned in the header of the Scout article?

We had a very successful receiver named Streets before. Now LaRue ("the Street") could follow his footsteps? Excellent.
Foster and LaRue
Supposedly there is some interest from both. I would be shocked at Foster...lot of bad rumors around him, wonder if the coaches want that problem. As for Larue, he has a little interest, also in ND, but I will believe it when he actually visits campus.

ND has no room for him at
ND has no room for him at this point. Lots of room for other USC decommits though. Thanks Lane!
Maybe not
From Ace's Rceruiting Post earlier today:
"Any rumors about Sebastian LaRue and #Michigan seem to be untrue at this point.
— Adam Gorney (@adamgorney) January 2, 2013"
So maybe this is premature
Practice makes perfect. Unless you're the Buckeyes. Then you have to cheat.
"At this point"
What struck me about that quote when I first read it (before I heard anything about possible rumors) was the use of the words "at this point." Now it could have been just quick tweet so the wording not really thought out, but the use of "at this point is interesting." Even more so now that the rumors are starting to fly- meaning something could have changed [no longer "at that point"]
Or I could just be starved for WR recruiting so I reading into every little word looking for a hidden meaning.
It is "at this point" because
It is "at this point" because Shane Morris told him that the coaches are still interested. Nobody knows if the coaches really are interested in getting back in his recruitment.

Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order because it is better organized.
General rule...
... do not get at all excited about recruiting rumors that happen at these camps/games. It's all gossip mongering. I do take stock in the player evaluations, but other than that, I just don't waste the energy.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Yep, I remember last year at
Yep, I remember last year at one of these all-star games there were rumors about that DT Shittu (I think that's the name). There was never any real interest on either side.
Grammar Question
My instincts tell me it should be 'gossip-mongering,' but I don't know why. Is there an easy rule to figure out which words are hypenated?
ND is a one year wonder.
ND is a one year wonder. Just look at what they needed to be 12-0 this year. A terrible controversial call against Stanford, Pitt missing a chip shot field goal, and Matt Barkley getting hurt right before playing ND.

Don't forget the missed call on the missed Pitt FG (ND had two players on the field with the same number).
Also the fact that Barkley got hurt at the VERY end of the USC/UCLA game in garbage time.
The stars aligned perfectly for ND to get to #1 ... Hopefully Bama embarasses them and restores order to college football.

That may be, but they're dropping Michigan (while keeping MSU and Purdue) and playing a bunch of crappy ACC teams in the future. Their future schedules are going to make it tough for them not to do pretty well.
Hmmm

Another guy? In addition to
Another guy? In addition to whom, seniors Drew Dileo and Jeremy Gallon? I guess we could recruit some more 6'3" or 6'4" guys who can't run very fast, like Jeremy Jackson or Jaron Dukes...
After watching Gallon and
After watching Gallon and Dileo, how could you not want another? They've been fantastic.
Forget his height
LaRue is a burner with serious moves. We don't have a deep threat.
No excuses. Play like a champion.
Might not need him for 2013,
Might not need him for 2013, but he could certainly fill a role after Gallon and Dileo leave. WRs are not usually major contributors as true frosh anyway.
Eating is murder.
Who cares
Who cares, if he can make plays I want him. Ace Sanders killed us and he is small. Really small.
THIS IS MICHIGAN
Well, Scout has him as
Well, Scout has him as 5'11.5", but either way - dude's good. Yes, we want him.
Outside of Treadwell
LaRue would be my next choice of WR commit I'd want. Watch this kids highlights or check out Tremendous' recruiting files on him. He is a game breaker that we could really use. Magnus what are your thoughts?
Michigan fans are not made. They are born!
Just a thought...
There has been some (very recent) talk of Ty Isaac leaving USC, too, for a school in the Midwest. I wonder if he'd consider switching to WR in college. His height (6'3" or so) is more typical for a receiver than a running back, as is his running style, and he supposedly has good hands. I doubt that we could get Green, Isaac, and Smith all at RB, but I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen this mentioned.
Because Isaac has said
Because Isaac has said numerous times he isn't leaving USC.

But things change. After lunch today, I said I wasn't hungry. However, if you asked me now, I'd tell you the opposite (which is why I have a Kirkland frozen pizza in the oven right now).
My point is two-fold, both that when circumstances changes, people's stances/opinions/feelings do as well, and that Kirkland frozen pizza is the best kind of frozen pizza and this is not up for debate.
