will we get a last minute addition ??
February 6th, 2013 at 11:53 AM ^
No news about any surprises out there and even mgoblue.com had 27 spots on the tracker thing. Looks like 27 it is.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:00 PM ^
It does not appear he has signed his LOI to NC State according to their Scout board
February 6th, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
Kenton Gibbs appears to have now signed his LOI to attend NC State.

Congratulations young men! Go Blue!
February 6th, 2013 at 11:54 AM ^
Congrats to the coaching staff on another great recruiting class. And congrats to each of the recruits. We all look very forward to seeing you in your new colors.
GO BLUE!
February 6th, 2013 at 11:56 AM ^
Seriously hate seeing people insult high school kids who are making one of the most important decisions of their lives.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
there's a straw man!!! Let's go get him!!!!
February 6th, 2013 at 12:07 PM ^
C'mon, you know how these things work—all the a-holes are now going to be saying that they knew he was Blue all along, and he's a quality young man, and when can they buy a jersey with his name on it. If he has a great game against OSU, they'll be naming their first-born sons Henry and wanting his autograph.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
I stayed silent on the entire matter, but I would love to know what the deal was with his Dad's (supposed) tweeting. Does anybody here have any idea as to the story behind Biff's pro-SEC tweeting when this was all going down?
February 6th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
A word of caution on the son name thing. I swore I would name my first born after Tate when we beat ND in '09. Didn't turn out as epic as I thought it would at the time.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Robert's a nice name. What's wrong with that?
February 6th, 2013 at 1:01 PM ^
Desmond Carter, to be even more true to the WR position, and for the same reason you alluded to: an epic win (1991 vs ND).
Problem is he's way too big to be a WR -- probably a OG/OT.
It'll be a good story should he ever make it as a commit.

February 6th, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
...still redeem yourself by naming your second born "Denard."
February 6th, 2013 at 1:06 PM ^
do that. Unless you want your first born to run away or something...
February 6th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
The first time you handed him a bowl of cereal, he would drop it, but then he would pick it up and run into the other room before anyone could catch him.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
This is why its always better, as a fan base, to remain silent when there is percieved recruitment drama out there. These are huge decisions for these young men. They don't need random twitter/internet guy getting personally offended at what they decide to do with their life, then only to have random guy assail them on twitter or post their angst on the message boards. You can be disappoointed or worried or whatever, but this is Michigan, fergodsakes, show some composure and keep it to yourself.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:57 AM ^
I have to say though, I was secretly wishing that Leon McQuay III would abandon the shrinking USC class and switch to UM. I know, it wasn't going to happen - but a guy can still dream.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
I don't envy fans who are waiting around to see if some big-time guy is going to commit. It's very nice to have everyone in the bag.
February 6th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
27 guys delivered on their commitment.
Time for S&C to turn them into beasts and the staff to pursue 2014 full-bore.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^
Upon a bit of reflection, it's astounding that Coach Hoke's staff identified 27 young men who were able to make and carry out this sort of commitment without any NSD drama. Not a single last-minute change of heart. Not a single drama queen (like the whole T-Peezy bushwa). I wouldn't necessarily fault a kid for a last-minute change of heart since they're kids and choosing a school is - for most of them - the biggest decision they've had to make in their lives. But to have 27 kids raring to go and sending in their commitment faxes before noon (lumping in the early-enrollees here)?
It may seem a bit trite, but I hope this quiet show of commitment and integrity is an indication of the overall character of this class. I'm strongly inclined to believe so.

Sorry for the double-post, but the first click generated a "504" message.
Here's a kitten on a boogie board as my way of saying sorry:
February 6th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
February 6th, 2013 at 11:59 AM ^
to all these young men on the wonderful opportunity of which they've taken advantage. They've just committed to a top-notch education and support system, and I'm looking forward to their development as representatives of our great university and as young men in society.

I just busted out laughing in the middle of class and my professor stopped and stared at me. Damn you and your .gif!
February 6th, 2013 at 12:02 PM ^
...and I like it this way!
February 6th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
No signing day drama except for Urban Meyer having a great finish: this is one of the most anti-climactic NSD's I can remember.
February 6th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
Great finish indeed for Ohio State.
Rivals has them at #1, over Alabama and Notre Dame. Michigan is at #6. Anybody care to make the case that Rivals' methodology for ranking is flawed?

How DO you do?

By getting the Greek Chicken Pita special at Greek Fiesta....same way I would have drowned my sorrows if Poggi Rolled with the Tide.

Hoke and staff are building something special at Michigan. It's really more a fraternity of like-minded men than a football factory. Let the bonding and building begin!
February 6th, 2013 at 12:13 PM ^
I find myself most interested first,in our defensive line prospects. And even though we got three, it feels we needed one more, but this could be due to impatience.
Second, I find myself next intererested most in the wide reciever prospects, as I'm counting the days until I see the 1 jersey re-emerge, and that day cannot come soon enough.
