I'm pretty sure he said between 5 and 6.
February 15th, 2013 at 5:43 PM ^
I'll give him 18 min ...
February 15th, 2013 at 5:28 PM ^
New Nike contract perhaps???
February 15th, 2013 at 5:30 PM ^
Commence project 136!
February 15th, 2013 at 6:01 PM ^
It's a shirt ferns just tweeted it
February 15th, 2013 at 6:07 PM ^
It does show a true dedication to Michigan to go all in as to invest in shirts to give out to spread the word. High character fellow, that guy.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:22 PM ^
A high school kid did not announce that the University of Michigan is dropping Addidas for Nike?
February 15th, 2013 at 6:35 PM ^
this is going to end poorly...there are already people tweeting him offering to buy one of the shirts. i dont think a recruit selling shirts to fans will fly with the ncaa.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
Just because people have offered to buy them doesn't mean he'll go for it. I'm guessing he has gone over this with the coaches, or the coaches have reached out to him about it. I agree with you that if he turned it into a business there would be an issue, but if he gives them away to fans randomly there shouldn't be an issue.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:45 PM ^
He has told some of the people asking to buy that it's only available through a contest. So he won't sell them.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:45 PM ^
...or he could tell those fans no.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:18 PM ^
Love the shirts, but more importantly, love the effort and dedication. Seemed like a special kid.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:24 PM ^
Agreed. Love how our recruits go out and recruit so hard.
But still, Hoke should go out and recruit guys himself, if he doesn't already.

It's going to be hard to beat that thread this year, for worst thread of the year.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:20 PM ^
Looks like it caught George Campbell's attention already, although I'm not exactly sure how twitter works so I could be wrong.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
Campbell and Cole have both given him props for the shirts. He even set aside a 2XL for Cole after telling him he would if he let him know his size. Fun idea by Ferns. He is going to fully enjoy his time building this class.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:21 PM ^
That's actually kind of cool and can't do anything but help land recruits. Awesome job by a soon-to-be fan favorite.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:32 PM ^
Hope he helps snag a great class ... the guys from Tarpon Springs would be a big boost!
February 15th, 2013 at 6:34 PM ^
Picture
February 15th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
Ferns' upcoming giveaways sound like fun. Michigan and Project 135 will probably trend on Twitter during the contests.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:41 PM ^
Doesn't love free t-shirts.
February 15th, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
Rush T-shirts!
February 15th, 2013 at 6:59 PM ^
I find this to be a fantastic idea. I think most on this blog are aware of just how much Shane Morris did for the current incoming class, so it is really awesome to see someone like Ferns try and one up him. I truthfully believe that Brady Hoke and the recruiting success of his first two classes has set the bar very high for the future. I can't see us ever finishing outside the top 10.
February 16th, 2013 at 9:37 AM ^
I hope Ferns makes Shane Morris look like a chump. I mean that in the nicest possible way.
