Any rumors how our weekend visitors faired ?

Submitted by Wal-Mart Wolverine on

And their thoughts on the 10 inches of snow that hit our state ? I bet they were making "snow angels" on the "Big House " turf.

DPJ's visit went really well and all the BS going around twitter that OSU locked him up afterwards is just that, BS. DPJ and Najee were the last two kids on campus later on today. I'm actually not sure when Najee left but it was late. 

 

All I know.

 

Edit: Oh and Najee was foolin in the snow on his snapchat, seemed to be loving it.

That Pryor is not garbage, and he's far from it.  He's the best athlete on the field and one of the most natural hands catchers I have ever seen.  He just plucks balls out of the air.  I've also been enjoying his occasional outbursts during and sometimes after the game.  It at least shows me that he cares.

That dude is going to have 1000 yards this year with shit quarterbacks throwing to him.  Considering he's one of the only weapons on the field that the defense has to worry about, that's pretty impressive.

And Thomas is probably the top rookie WR in the NFL.

What's probably being noticed is that, while young, their receivers didn't catch the ball great this year and playing time could come early in Columbus. 

Also, their QB commit is actively engaged in recruiting and seems to be very well liked. 

It makes a difference.

it's a rumor, which by definition is something that is not based on the truth, I guess we have to wait until he commits to refute it.   But I don't know why a guy would visit a school several times that is not one of his final two.  So there's that

The rumor regarding DPJ being down to two schools (OSU/FSU) and being 50/50 on those two is from one of Jeremy Birmingham's "sources".... Hes the land of ten OSU writer. Take it for what its worth.

OSU (meyer, coombs, smith) did visit DPJ late last night according to a tweet Coombs sent out.

He also claims that the rumor came from one of his more credible sources, and that it was backed up by a second one. What is scary about this is that it has seemed for a while that there was always some underlying chatter about DPJ being a kid who wanted to leave home for college. Really hoping that this ends up being nothing, as I think that would be one of the bigger recruiting losses to miss on the top in state recruit, esecially if it is to our main rival. Also, for what it's worth, Darnay Holmes is recieving ballz to OSU too...

I don't have any inside information on DPJ, but having followed recruiting closer than is probably healthy for the past 30 years, there are always good signs and bad signs that you can pick up on.

Whenever, you have a local kid, who's the son of an UM alumni, who's head coach played for UM and his recruitment isn't wrapped up by the end of his junior year, than that is a bad sign.

When you look at all the advantages UM should have on his recruitment, and his desire to be an early commit, it should be surprising to everyone that he is not already in the fold.When kids like that do not commit to the legacy school until the end, there is usually a reason for it, and that reason is hardly ever good for the legacy school.

That doesn't mean we won't get him, I don't know, but there is enough in his recruitment so far to give UM fans pause.

OR, alternatively... maybe he's just enjoying the recruiting process. It feels good to have everyone want you, or so I hear. If this was me I'd milk it for all it was worth, even if I had decided where I was going to go long ago. Don't forget, Harbaugh encourages these kids to take ALL their visits and look around. I don't see any bad signs out of this at all.

The top rated kids always take longer to commit anyway. And literally just about every recruitnik out there, save for some OSU hacks, keep saying they'd be shocked if he committed anywhere but Michigan.
