in football, along with Morris and a slew of others, Trouba in hockey, Massa and Thomas in wrestling, and now maybe McGary...I will be one happy Michigan Football/Basketball/Hockey/Wrestling fan if this comes true soon.

I know why Morris is listed in your group above there.  But I feel like most M fans have already busted their nut over this kid. 

We typically don't get a lot of highly rated players a YEAR before they are suppossed to commit.  

Yes the kid has looked great in camps and 7-on-7's and the recruiting sites fawn over him.

But there is something to be said about the stats that he is putting up so far this season.  They aren't exactly "five star" caliber.  I would not be surprised at all if Morris is a high four star, and we get multiple players rated higher than him in this current class (Kalis, another OL, and most likely - Pipkins).

This is all great to hear.  I tried to post this in another thread since I can't start my own.  It was near the end so I think it got buried and ignored.  I thought it was pretty interesting.  It mentions McGary was "born" in Michigan.  Was wondering if anyone knew where he was born and how long he lived here.  Hopefully this will help in his recruitment.

Pretty sure that article is wrong, unless McGary himself doesn't know where he was born. He wrote this in a blog post from January 2011:

My name is Mitch McGary. I’m 18 years old; born and raised in Chesterton, Indiana. I grew up there and lived there my entire life until just recently when I moved to Brewster Academy by myself.

One of my best friends has pledged to publicly masturbate if McGary commits to M. 

I said I would do the same, completely naked, except for a Jalen Rose Indiana Pacers jersey, on the Diag.

Interesting way to support the team.

Here's another idea. How bout both of you buy a pair of season tickets, four between you, and make it to all the games, and cheer the team on?

Or, maybe you could find out about being a student water boy or towel boy, at their practices.

I can't be sure, but I think that might be appreciated a bit more.

Or, you do it your way, and have someone film you guys, and be the Michigan Internet version of the OSU bathroom guy. I'm sure that'd get a lot of hits. You'd be real famous.

They need to get him back on campus.  Hopefully for another football game.  Possibly OSU???  We are very fortunate that we can use other sports as recruiting tools.  Most schools do not have that luxury!

We're back baby! This would be the final piece to bring the Maize and Blue empire back to Big Ten supremacy. Add this all to Ohio's slow spiraling demise and let the good times roll!
