Chengelis: Harbaugh makes big push for Weber

Submitted by StephenRKass on

Angelique Chengelis has a brief article up tonight at the News entitled Harbaugh making a big push for Mike Weber, Wilcher says. There isn't much new in the article. The one thing I find interesting is that Wilcher, a former Michigan RB, is no longer making predictions on where Weber will end up. Previously, Wilcher thought Weber was going to OSU. Chengelis writes:

Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher said Wednesday he doesn't know where Weber stands on his football future right now.

"Harbaugh has been calling Weber since he got here," Wilcher said.

EDIT:  They are following this very closely over at Eleven Warriors. Reading through the comments, they are all over the place (We want him. We have other backs who are better anyway. He wants to go to Michigan. His heart is at OSU but Harbaugh won't leave him alone.)

Eleven Warriors LINK:  Weber signs with UofM?

My two cents: Weber himself doesn't know which way to go. Neither school is jumping out to him in a clear and undeniable way. Both schools have pros and cons. He will choose with his gut and maybe those closest to him on Feb. 4. No way to know which way that will be.

This seems like your classic "we get back in it but then come up short at the end" recruitment but you never know with the Harbaugh effect. The fact that we've made such a dent in the Marshall thing and Weber thing in 2 weeks bodes well for the future classes even if they go to USC and Ohio.

Can't blame the kid for choosing OSU, especially after their OL line parted the seas for Zeek to plow through.  With Cardale arguably the #1 QB next year, and the way that they relied heavily on the run with him at the helm (partly due to his noob status), you'd be hard pressed to find a better offense to commit to.  Not to mention they are the freaking champs no less.  (I just threw up a little after typing that last sentence.)

But don't you think Herman leaving could have some bearing on his thought process?

Not to mention that Harbaugh can swing his NFL pedigree on to the table and just let it sit.

Who knows, though. I wear Maize and Blue colored glasses.... and a Harbaugh shirt.

Interesting that Weber would even have to think about this. I mean Michigan or OSU? Seems like a no brainer to me.

If Weber ends up signing with Michigan the osu fans will quickly say it doesn't matter because they will have 3 of the top 5 rbs in 2106 class.

Osu fans think they are going to get Walker, McCall and Hill next year.

I have a good vibe about this.  

He's like all those Michigan recruits we've had in the past that said all the right things and said Michigan was the place for them . . . but still kept looking around and would not lock in their committments.  There was just something holding them back.

Of course, they wound up somewhere else.

Time for Karma to reverse the phenomenon.
