Calling TomVH- Jake Fisher

Submitted by IowaBlueFan on

I was just told by some of my friends that Sam Webb just reported that Jake Fisher committed to Oregon.  Tom, what is going on?  Can you confirm this?

EDIT: Sorry there is no link or anything, I will be looking for one after class.

FWIW my family is connected to Fisher's high school program.....and the coaches all seem to think he wants to stay as thin as possible at the next level. Its not the end of the world either.....although he is a prospect with a high upside he is lazy and thats a fact cause I have seen him play in person.

But what you said is ridiculous. "Jake wants to play for Oregon bc he doesn't want to bulk up" is like saying a QB wants to play in the spread because he doesn't want to get good at throwing. Just because some of Oregon's OTs weren't massive didn't mean they liked it that way.

I'm sorry but the kid wanted to come to Michigan up until a month ago and we were still in the Big Ten then.  Our lineman are definitely not small, but they aren't Wisconsin huge either.  I don't think the new staff is going to tell him he has to be 325 pounds.  He's about the same size as Lewan so I'd see him bulking up to about 300 pounds which is about what the average pro lineman is.

I wonder if Flavin or Nowicki could still be flipped. Too bad we didn't pull Westerman, should have been one we could have pulled with Roh and Lewan here.

"Just talked to my boy who chilled with deathony .. And your Olineman who were are trying to steal went last weekend to Oregon as well and said he's going to Oregon .. Haha" my roommate from Oregon big duck fan just texted me that this morning cause I told him the other day we might lose one of our oline recruits. Sounds like they might have snaked Arnett away from sc too. Who knows what's true.. But that's what that ass clown texted me this morning. He doesn't spell very well.
