4 * RB Greg Garmon cuts list to top 3 - eliminates Michigan (for time being)
Top 10 RB - and 4 star recruit - Greg Garmon has trimmed his list to his top 3 choices of Illinois, North Carolina and Iowa. Garmon had previously trimmed his list to 5, in which Michigan was included in that list. This latest trim has eliminated Michigan for the time being, but he still states his list could change with Michigan having an outside "X-Factor" chance.
Its great to see a kid overcome cancer to build a name for himself the way he has. He would be great at Michigan, but in the end, he deserves to have a great career wherever he may land. Good Luck to Him, and hopefully we find our way back into the mix
Last week, the No. 10 running back in the nation Greg Garmon trimmed his list of possible suitors to Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, North Carolina and Virginia.
On Thursday, the Erie (Pa.) product reported that three were standing out: "Illinois is in my top three, along with North Carolina and Iowa," Garmon said. "There could be some changes to that list, but right now those are the three that really stick out."

I really don't want to see him at IOWA, I don't know who would want to play for Ron Zook, so I guess North Carolina is my top pick for him if not Michigan.
I'm a little surprised we haven't really been able to attract any big name running backs to seriously consider us. Maybe its b/c we took two in the last class?
We didn't go hard after Rushel Shell from PA. I've barely even heard his name as a recruit on here.
I've always wondered about him as well
Yup, he seems like a great back for our system, and every single major recruiting site has him as a top 5 back.
As you said, a great back for our system in particular, not that he wouldn't excel elsewhere, of course . . .
to UNC.
Arent they how about to get the hammer on them as well?
Better them instead of Illinois or Iowa.
I wouldn't mind that at all
Iowa?
Does he NOT know about Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God?
Why the Erie hate?
I made the trip a couple times a year myself. Thankfully I played in the Eastern Conference and our longest regular trip was only 4 hours to Sudbury.
As someone currently sitting in Erie, PA let me just say I agree 100%
Doesn't he know Zook will get fired next year?
For a top 10 RB that's a pretty crappy list of schools.
fact that he eliminated the two best schools, kind of strange.
I'd feel bad for him if he went to UNC.
Like some previous postings, I too am suprised that we haven't yet landed a top tier rb. But there still is alot of time left, and maybe our guy is Bri'onte. I just want a 5 star rb to round out this strong recruiting class.
doubt thats a final list, he still seems to be looking for offers, visiting ND soon
I still think M is going to pickup a nice RB in this class. I just wish it would happen!!
Go Blue
No need to worry because we will have Dymonte Thomas next year.
I think he's likely going to be a safety.
And while I heartedly agree with the poster above that I wouldn't want to play for Ron Zook they have produced some good backs of late...Thomas, Mendenhall, LeShoure. As Iowa being my second favorite team of the"final" three, I'm obviously, rooting for them to get him but, wouldn't be surprised if UM get's back in it.
Re: Illinois why play at a school that has bad head coach who's one the hot seat and doens't have a rich football tradition. In comparison to the RR(he's not a bad coach just a bad fit for him) situation if a player commited here knowing that RR was "on the hot seat" the player was going to be at Michigan regardless. UNC? They're facing possibly severe penalities.
UNC really? What position does he play, point guard?
yea what is up with big time WRs and RBs not wanting to join this super class? I guess we do have Hopkins and Thomas Rawls (who I have high hopes for) for the next 4 years so we don't realy NEED a RB this year. We do need to land a big play WR though and get away from the million slot WRs we have. Next year if Shane Morris is as highly rated as everyone projects, hopefully we can land a 5 star wide out
