2017 4-star C Cesar Ruiz Update via Sam Webb
First contribution for a while, so hopefully this goes swimmingly.
Listened to the Recruiting Podcast on WTKA The Michigan Insider this morning, and I just thought I'd drop a quick note that I found very interesting on Cesar Ruiz.
It looks like Alabama picked up a recent OL commitment named Hunter Brannon and is now focusing on OT, meaning Cesar Ruiz is currently not a take for Alabama barring attrition or Saban's fury over all things Harbaugh. This is important since the battle for Ruiz was mostly a Michigan/Alabama battle according to the experts from what I recall. This doesn't mean he's all Michigan I'm sure, but it can only help. One of the top guys on Michigan's board for OL recruiting. More info can be found on the podcast at https://audioboom.com/boos/4927931-06-recuriting-roundup-081216?playlist_direction=forward&t=0
Also an interesting listen, the first part of the recruiting roundup involves the influence of staffer Greg Harden on recruits and their families - He was a big influence on Rashan Gary's recruitment as well as current LB target Drew Singleton (who may be at the top of Michigan's board for the LB position).
CHECK IT OUT, YO. I felt the itch to post something of contribution, so it was down to either this or a question about what's appropriate as far as length of bathroom break while at the workplace. Hopefully I chose appropriately.

does not include Michigan.
I hate this damn weather.
August 12th, 2016 at 2:30 PM ^
I don't think we should be complaining about weather until we beat MSU and OSU.

Michigan ALWAYS has the best weather because it is the awesomest place to live in the universe.
The end.
August 12th, 2016 at 5:35 PM ^
Call me in February. On second thought..don't. Because you're just gonna complain about the weather.

Snowmobiles, sleds and fireplace roaring. Quiet winter nights at 2am after a huge snowstorm standing on the back patio and enjoying the beauty of nature.
Man. I love winter.

This has been the most miserable summer weather-wise in a very long time. Last two days have been brutal.
August 12th, 2016 at 2:48 PM ^
I would bet that climate control is used less frequently in Arizona than in Michigan.

OT - I'm here AZ as well. Have you been to any of the alumni association viewing parties? I really enjoy them. They will be at Bevy in Old Town Scottsdale this season.

Have a friend, family member, co-worker mail it to you. This cover is in almost half the states (24 states + DC), so you must know SOMEBODY well enough to get it for you.
"The Michigan cover, featuring Jabrill Peppers—who is profiled by Andy Staples in the magazine—will be sent to Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland, Washington D.C., New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Nebraska and Eastern Missouri.

The Durkin defense would drop a safety back to AZ. So, yeah.

This is good news potentially.
However long you need to finish up and wash your hands is the appropriate answer.

On 247 Hunter is listed as a tackle and not a guard/center. Does Alabama plan on using him as an interior lineman?
August 12th, 2016 at 2:45 PM ^
Looks like rivals, scout and ESPN all list him as a OG. So, Bama probably sides with them based on making Ruiz not a take after his commitment.
August 12th, 2016 at 2:48 PM ^
If that's true, my guess would be yes. Webb's info came directly from the Alabama Scout guy I believe (he names his source on the podcast). It seemed more "gut feeling"ish than just a hunch.
August 12th, 2016 at 2:35 PM ^
I don't care if Bama considers hime a 'no-take', he can come to Michigan all day!
But only if he likes spicy mustard on his cod. (Or whatever the hell that thread was about...)

What if this is the ultimate troll job by Saban? What if Ruiz is silently committed to Bama? What if he and Saban are planning a Signing Day Troll Job Flip just to punch back at Harbaugh? Guys, its a FUUUUUUCCCKKKKKIIIIIIIIINGGGGG TRAP! Sabans gonna come out with a commercial on ESPN on signing day, and he's just gonna ask the question into the camera, "You really think I wouldn't take the top center in the country?", and him and YouTooCesar will be laughing while they both throw up one finger. Holy shit, this could get bad.
August 12th, 2016 at 2:47 PM ^
August 12th, 2016 at 2:48 PM ^
Doesn't sound that bad. Harbaugh will have the back up lined up and ready to launchat that moment. Saban will never pull one over on Mr. Harbaugh. Saban isn't that bright.
