ACE: Jehu Chesson (UPDATE: NOT) Visiting This Weekend
UPDATE: Chesson is not visiting. Move along.
According tothe Sun-Sentinel (via CBSSports.com's Eye on Recruiting), comes the news that MO WR Jehu Chesson will take an official visit for the Purdue game this weekend:
Ladue (Mo.) Horton Watkins 2012 WR Jehu Chesson, who has taken unofficial visits to the University of Miami in each of the past two springs, plans to take an official visit to Michigan this weekend.
He has already officially visited Northwestern.
Chesson is 6-3, 180 pounds, and is a consensus three-star recruit among the four recruiting services. With offers from Illinois, Iowa, Mizzou, Northwestern, Oklahoma State, and UCLA, as well as a Michigan offer, he's a very solid option if the Wolverines can't land both Jordan Payton and Amara Darboh.

ace, what's holding him back from being a 4-star? he's got the measurables, even in speed. quickness? hands? athleticism?

Ace - one thing you need to learn about this business is you need to grow a sack. If you don't know for sure, don't make it known. It will help you go far.
October 27th, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
Ace, I would prefer honesty. If you dont know i'd rather hear that than some BS you made up.
October 27th, 2011 at 2:19 PM ^
Yeah. Ace started off by saing, "Honestly, I have no idea." He then offers a possibility and starts that off with "maybe." He's obviously trying to answer the question but he doesn't know for sure. Ace is trying to be helpful; your comment is not.
October 27th, 2011 at 2:37 PM ^
Not to go off topic, but how is my comment considered "Trolling". I am mentioning that I would prefer that Ace say he doesn't know if he in fact doesn't know. I am saying I prefer honesty, which is what Ace has been practicing since he got here.
How is that trolling again?
October 27th, 2011 at 3:52 PM ^
He started by saying "Honestly, I have no idea." That means he doesn't know and told you such things. Reading comprehension, I has it...
October 27th, 2011 at 2:48 PM ^
Out of curiosity, what exactly was the BS in his post?
Was it the part where he answered the request about his rating with an "I don't know" which you seem to be asking for.
Or the part where he did his job and provided as much insight as he could based on what he knew?
Inquiring minds are curious...

Redundant Trolling.
October 27th, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
From the film he looks to make some great catches. His after the catch doesn't look as explosive as the 4* guys. In my limited research that looks about it.
October 27th, 2011 at 11:39 AM ^
Thanks Ace for the update. I love his height, but hopefully we can land Payton and Darboh. I agree though, Chesson would be a great get if either one of those don't pan out.
October 27th, 2011 at 11:40 AM ^
decent size atleast, something we need at WR. although find it surprising we are having a hard time landing bluechip WRs....we need to get these guys to watch what borges likes to do, they are going to be the focal point of the offence in years to come.
October 27th, 2011 at 11:45 AM ^
I would argue that both Payton and Darboh are blue chips, and we're likely to get one if not both of them. Whichever two we sign in this class will be a good combo, I'm confident.
October 27th, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
oh I know those are good recruits. just felt they would of had one already commited by this point. but i'm assuming alot of that is because the coaches didn't know what they had yet and focused more on the lines and defence before working on offencsive skill which isn't a horrible idea in its self I guess.
October 27th, 2011 at 1:46 PM ^
In order for them to watch what Borges wants to do they would have to watch tape from SDSU, Auburn and UCLA. The offense we run now is nothing like what it will look like in 2 years.
October 27th, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
Would you want to play WR in this offense? I'm not so sure I would be chomping at the bit. It will change with time but not quite yet.
October 27th, 2011 at 11:52 AM ^
by the time any 2012er gets real playing time, gardner or morris will be the QB. it will be a different offense. i think they know denard makes things different.
October 27th, 2011 at 2:00 PM ^
October 27th, 2011 at 1:21 PM ^
I would absolutely love to be playing WR in next year's offense. Once Denard gets more reps and works on his hips a bit, receivers will be wide open like they were at many points last year. This offense is statistically great right now, but when everything begins to gel, which happens to coincide with the arrival of these WRs on campus next fall, the sky is the limit.
October 27th, 2011 at 11:50 AM ^
October 27th, 2011 at 11:52 AM ^
Not sure which rumors you're referring to, but I'm pretty sure Dunn will be at Ohio State this weekend, not Michigan, unless something changed in the last 12 hours or so.
October 27th, 2011 at 11:58 AM ^
...on Buckeye Planet that he would be at UM/Purdue a week or two ago. It was probably wrong or I would have seen it other places.
October 27th, 2011 at 12:17 PM ^
Hey Ace, who else is visiting besides Chesson?
October 27th, 2011 at 12:24 PM ^
Right now, it seems to be all commits other than Chesson—Shane Morris, Allen Gant, and Caleb Stacey should be there, and I'm going to ask Chris Wormley tomorrow if he'll be up as well. Could have a couple more commits up there, we'll see.
October 27th, 2011 at 2:10 PM ^
Thanks for the update Ace.
Do you think that Chesson will (or at least has the ability to) put on "good weight", while still maintaining his speed and agility, before hitting the field at the college level? Correct me if I am wrong, but Chesson is at least a full inch taller than both Payton (6'2") and Darboh (6'2"), but is roughly 10 pounds lighter than Darboh (190lbs) and 20 pounds lighter than Payton (200lbs).
October 27th, 2011 at 2:23 PM ^
Any other word on Stefon Diggs from MD? Is there still a good chance with him going Blue, Any?,...or is it nil? ...has been berry, berry qwiet.
October 27th, 2011 at 2:45 PM ^
We haven't really been recruiting him for a while now. Supposedly he reached out to the coaches a couple months ago to gauge interest but nothing's happened since then.
October 27th, 2011 at 2:57 PM ^
I know we would rather have some of the more highly rated guys like Payton, Darboh, Powe and Madaris, but what if Chesson decides to commit this weekend? He has an offer. Can he just say "I accept" any time he wants? It seems that some of the above posters are suggesting that the coaches are slow walking Chesson in case the blue chip recruits don't work out.
