Think I read that Josh Falo, TE from Cali is visiting as well. Would be a nice receiving TE to compliment the Kaiju package.

Robert Porcher IV.

Is he primarily a DE or would he also be able to play inside?

I think the consensus is that his future is at 3Tech, but that he could pop out to SDE like Wormley does. On film, I don't think he looks athletic enough to be a full time edge player.

Gotcha. I was curious because it seems we're stockpiling edge players but still need help inside

Guys like Jeter and Hudson actually project inside long-term. Paea is committed currently. Not to mention Jay Tufuele (sp?) is being recruited hard. Guys like Gary and Onwenu can play DT as well. I don't think the position is as dire as people seem to think.

Come out to the game, Donovan. Take in the sights. Note how when one of our players screws up, our coach's head doesn't explode. The Michigan Difference.

Never pieced together where the "Fig Things" came from. Now it makes sense.
October 20th, 2016 at 1:33 PM ^
Ahhh...now I too get it. I've seen the pic befor but until you spelled it out...duh!
October 20th, 2016 at 9:59 AM ^
And Donovan - don't worry about those flames you see in the far distance towards the southwest. They are three hours away. You are safe here in Ann Arbor - our home is your home.

You sure this is South Bend? I can't see a large lake to the north.
I believe you have a picture of East Lansing here. /s

Also Donovan, note how the Wolverine coaches don't throw their players under the bus to cover a game plan issue! They own up and don't blame their players!
October 20th, 2016 at 8:58 AM ^
And their purple-faced people-eater!
But seriously their loss may well be our gain here. Sweet.
October 20th, 2016 at 9:29 AM ^
if one of the grad assistants wore his "halloween" costume of a purple faced Kelly.
October 20th, 2016 at 10:15 AM ^
And I love the "but seriously"...
I see a couple of other potential gains from their current 2018 Commits reconsidering. Looking at you, Marquise Stepp and Ovie Oghoufo...

October 20th, 2016 at 10:51 AM ^
A pretty nice little Saturday planned...
October 20th, 2016 at 12:52 PM ^
Tufele...
Fingers crossed that he loves his visit.
October 20th, 2016 at 12:11 PM ^
for the Tri Delts.

Good article from a Pitt site:
http://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2016/10/18/jeter-de-commits-notre-dame/
Jeter said that a phone call with Michigan defensive line coach Greg Mattison put things into perspective for him.
“[Mattison] was like I still want you real bad,” Jeter recalled. “I look and Michigan is undefeated and Notre Dame is 2-5. Nothing against Notre Dame. They’ve had some tough losses. … I have to find a place that’s home and a place that fits me. Notre Dame fits me. But I want to explore my options. I went on one visit and committed. That’s like marrying the first girl you kissed. You have to explore. That’s what I’m doing.”

Every recruit should take every official visit they can. It's an experience which they won't have the opportunity for again.
And if Mattison wants him to come to Michigan, that's good enough for me. Dude is a proven expert on anything DL.
October 20th, 2016 at 9:21 AM ^
In hindsight, I WISH I could have married the first girl I ever kissed. She grew up to be quite the babe.
October 20th, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
Anyone know where "yeah Jeets" comes from? Google it if you don't
October 20th, 2016 at 9:41 AM ^
I want the Samoan Punisher

Can never, ever have too many great pass rushers.
