I'll look to get a reaction from Logan after this weekend. He already has taken visits for both the Nebraska and Ohio State games, and named Michigan his outright leader, so things are looking very good on that front right now.

No Aces up my sleeve right now, but just from talking to Logan previously this is a very good sign.
January 6th, 2012 at 7:05 PM ^
Aces up your sleeve.... i see what your trying to do here. Nice.
January 6th, 2012 at 7:29 PM ^
Catchphrase!
January 6th, 2012 at 7:13 PM ^
Just remember, we don't care for any updates about any Little Aces down your pants.

Seems pretty early still for 2013. When do you normally start seeing these kids decide?
I know Shane and Dymonte were early drops.
January 6th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
2012 class commitment dates, keep in mind Hoke spent all of January reconfirming commits and finishing his class for the 2011 year.
This year, the coaching staff only has to focus on 24 of their commits and mayyybe 10 candidates to round out the final spots before spending time with 2013 kids.
Name - Date
- Braden - 3/24
- Stacey - 3/26
- Ringer - 4/15
- RJS - 4/16
- Funchess (I keep forgetting about him!) - 4/22
- Bolden - 4/29
- Ross - 5/02
- Ojemudia - 5/07
- Godin - 5/12
- Richardson - 5/19
- Gant - 5/31
- Magnuson - 6/10
- Strobel - 6/10 (that was a good day)
- Clark - 6/24
- Bars - 6/26
- Wilson - 7/08
- Kalis - 7/10
- Houma - 7/25
- Wormley - 7/31
- Pipkins - 8/08
- Johnson - 11/08
- Darboh - 12/04
- Chesson - 12/21
So pretty much all throughout the year except slow during the season, which makes sense. Because of the aforementioned head start the coaches have on 2013, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few in February this year when the coaches can focus on those recruits.
January 6th, 2012 at 8:28 PM ^
Remember midway through March when we were all having a panick attack because Hoke was just hired and we didn't have a commitment yet?
Fast forward.
Wooooooow
January 6th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
Only know that because hoke shops in twos. Same day commitment as Funch
January 6th, 2012 at 7:54 PM ^

Man, our offensive line over the next few years (2012 excluded) is gonna be impressive. Almost Wisconsin-ish, if you will
January 6th, 2012 at 7:10 PM ^
We recruit 4 and 5 stars, o-line included.Wisconsin recruits 2 and 3 stars.They redshirt every o-lineman, fill them full of cheese,get them in a weight program and hope they are ready come junior year(for the majority).Let's compare our recruits to a better program than Wisconsin.
January 6th, 2012 at 7:33 PM ^
Macaroni and cheese sounds like the basis of winning recruiting.
It would recruit me, anyway.
January 6th, 2012 at 8:18 PM ^
Our recruits having more stars means little. They have had the best OL in the Big Ten and maybe the country for the last few years. They had an OT who wasn't even a starter get drafted last year around the same spot our 5-star 4 year starter did.
If our OL looks like Wisconsin's 2010 OL in the next couple years, we're in very good shape.
January 6th, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
January 6th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
OK, say what you want, but whatever they are doing, works.
January 7th, 2012 at 4:25 PM ^
Steroids?
I'm just kidding . . . I think I'm just kidding . . . Am I just kidding? I'm so confused.
January 6th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
2012: Denman, Dodson, Voltz 4 stars
2008: Konz 4 star
2007: Oglesby 5 star
This is amazing. Over the past 5 years, only 2 of their OL were rated 4 or more stars by Rivals. Oglesby as a 5 star was injured and underperformed. 2012's OL class for Wisconsin is a bumper crop compared to previous years, so the future looks bright in Madison given their track record of developing OL talent (although they will have a new OL coach).
January 6th, 2012 at 7:22 PM ^
I follow wisconsin pretty closely,I'm from Madison, and I sure as hell hope we're better recruiters then them. their formula for recruiting is basically get linemen and then forget what you're doing then watch Beilema blow a timeout on something.
January 6th, 2012 at 8:06 PM ^
Go to two straight Rose Bowls. Say what you want about Wisconsin's recruiting, but at this point I don't think you can argue that they have a good winning formula for their program. I'd sure like to see Michigan in back to back Rose Bowls, regardless of how good or bad our recruiting classes are. Ya, all their formula is is get linemen, that makes a lot of sense.
January 6th, 2012 at 7:20 PM ^
My point was Wisconsin is always known for outstanding OL year in and year out, including three OL drafted just last year. I never said anything about comparing the overall programs.
January 6th, 2012 at 7:28 PM ^
Sorry force of habit I do that a lot back home. for what its worth I also think Shane Morris+ all the time in the world to pass is probably a winning strategy for the future.
January 6th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
But I think his point is that Michigan doesn't have to recruit the way Wisconsin does. Wisconson brings guys in and has to beef them up. Most of them come in with lower-rankings, and are sleeper types. Wisconsin does an excellent job of finding "their" type of kids to fit in their system. The lineman we are getting now are not like the types that go to Wisconson, and in my opinon, a few years down the road, our line will be even scarier than Wisconsins. I see where you are trying to go with your Wisconsin reference, but they really don't compare to Michigan, in my opinon.
January 6th, 2012 at 11:11 PM ^
What's that you say about Hoke changing the tide of the rivalry and selling jerseys?
January 7th, 2012 at 5:30 AM ^
One of the moderation choices could be, D-bag.
January 6th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
Fuck you, Philbert.
January 6th, 2012 at 9:43 PM ^
Top O lineman committing early lays a great foundation for the top skilled players to commit later on. This is the best kind of recruiting!! Go Blue!!
January 6th, 2012 at 10:50 PM ^
I would to see a LT (Laquon Treadwell) and LTT (Logan Tuley-Tillman) in next year's class.
January 7th, 2012 at 12:12 AM ^
Lets get the win and the recruit.
Mr. Tim Hardaway Jr.. the ball is in your court.
