so much for that
Another signing day suprise may be on the way
We're at 25.
We can take 2 more guys and STILL take Jordan Diamond. It's been that bad of a week.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
You stated that there would be NO surprise anyway, saying that Sam was doing it for attention so what does it matter?
Personally, I think it could be Kozan. Apparently he hasn't publicly decided yet.
....you're right. Denard without Molk was scary. Kazan has yet to really speak up

I'm calling Gunner Kiel, just because he seems to be making a thing of flipping schools.
That, or Barry Sanders Jr. because that would be awesome.
All your professional athlete sons are belong to us!
For my privacy, my new username is "non-Oriental non-Andrew"
Kiel is already in enrolled in Notre Dame. Doubt it's him. Although he has pulled some surprises.
Our toils obscure an' a' that,
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The man's the gowd for a' that.
Given our needs, what position would we like to see filled most?
TE
Center
WR
DB
DT
What's your preference?

I would love to see a play making tight end or two wearing the winged helmet.
we need a new New Math plz
...the Canadians make up for it with their emotion and classic ice-dancing skill.
It seems strange that Diamond would wait til Friday to sign. Did he give a reason?

The high school is doing a Friday shindig with all of their guys.
You technically have until April 1st to sign...Signing Day is just something fans and ESPN created, but there are plenty of guys that won't sign today.
Some will wait to finish basketball season and take visits. Others will wait to see how Signing Day pans out and then try to get "picked up" by teams that may have missed out on a bigger prospect. Some people want the attention of having their own day.
In Diamonds case, his school has set a press conference for ALL of the signees for Friday. So he's doing it with his classmates in all sports that sign during this period.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
Daimond's school is doing this for ceremonial reasons, but you can bet that all the kids at that school have already made their commitments known behind the scenes to their future coaches, so as not to get shut out.
Wherever Diamond is going, that school already knows it. BTW, I think it is Michigan.

I'm pretty sure he's had that as his date for a while now. So you shouldn't glean anything from it about where he is going to commit. It could mean a couple things, I think he just wants to announce at a time that isn't the main NSD rush, and get lost in the crazy amount of news going on. The other possibility is he's waiting to see how the classes fill out. this might be likely too, as he doesn't seem terribly gung ho about the idea of commitiing to a class with a bunch of OTs (or at least his mom doesn't).

Our biggest need, and Magnus would probably agree, right now, would be CENTER, based on the assumption that Bars or Kalis aren't expected to play it.
Because I've been wondering for days. Per WKTA this morning: His high school class is declaring together.
EDIT: This was to be an answer to Toomer18 above. And I'm typing too slowly. Serves me right for getting up early enough to listen live before coffee.
That DB guy from Ohio is Urban Meyer.

I see what you did there...funny
Not sure if it applies to Michigan, but Allen Trieu just retweeted someone sayign a HUGE decommitment coming.

Dang, FSU is cleaning up this year...
From ESPN.com
Florida State once again flexed its recruiting muscle on Wednesday reaching up the East Coast for Five-star Under Armour All-American defensive tackle Eddie Goldman (Washington, D.C./Collegiate). The 6-foot-4, 310-pound talent made his announcement live on ESPN at 10:05 AM ET. He picked the Seminoles over Alabama, Auburn and Miami-FL.
If I'm Florida, I'm seeing the walls close in a little bit . . . coaching unstability, poor seasons, recruiting not what it was.
Things move fast. Just a couple of years ago I remember a multi-page article in SI about how FL was invincible in recruting, coming off a National Championship season with the #1 class in the country.

Dante Fowler. It's all cyclical.
Sam Webb just retweeted something from Hawkeye Insider that says that Kozan is still considering Iowa, Michigan and Auburn despite announcing for the Hawkeyes the other day.
twitter says he hasn't sent in a loi yet and may still be considering us
"Over? Did you say, over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
This would be a huge get, that fills a glaring hole in this class

My guess is Kozan. Allegedly he is still considering Michigan and hasn't sent in his LOI yet.
Though it still probably won't happen. But I'm sayin' there's a chance.
EDIT: Beaten to the punch. Tip of the cap to you, sir.
"2nd and 5. Here he goes again!"
"That's 6."
"They're not going to catch him! Touchdown Michigan!"
Webb just retweeted hawkeye insider.. Supposedly he hasnt chosen yet
Its called a royale with cheese
A repeat of Sunday's ride.
Brady Hoke - High quality recruits one or two at a time.
Gonna get killed in the sec.. Obviously academics were not a factor.. Kid has had a rough ride though cant fault him for wanting the nfl asap.. He starts where ever he goes

Last I heard we had 4 spots open. With Norfleet and Henry that leaves 2 spots open. That would mean we could get this "suprise" and still have 1 spot open for Diamond.
