This quote is very telling...

Tremendous: You say it was an easy commitment and that you've been a lifelong fan. Would you have committed to a Rich Rodriguez-led Michigan?



Chris: Actually, I probably wouldn't have. The contact I had with that coaching staff never really gave me a good vibe.

And it wasn't in a dickish way that he needed to be protected from himself. So there was no reason to leave if out.

<br>There was nothing wrong with you printing that he likes Adele either.

It didn't really jive with with the rest of our conversation, but in the end I figured it was interesting enough. 

As far as quoting, I've let the commits take a look at what I've written before I publish. The difference in the Reeves article was that it was new news and I didn't get a chance to get it to him. 

EDIT: I should also add that Armani's reaction was ironic to my mishap on the article. He wasn't even remotely upset about it and agreed to do one of our "makes friends" writeups if he commits to Michigan.

Tremendous!  Also I'm 100% completely on the Lady Gaga bandwagon as well and have no shame about it at all.  

Wormley sounds like a good guy. Again, it's been said before, but I like that we're prioritizing hi-quality guys we can be proud of on and off the field.  Looking forward to seeing these guys develop under our coaching staff.

Seriously though - Lady Gaga is a musical genius.

One of the reasons Rivals has him rated lower, is because some believe Helmholdt has something against him? I thought I remembered hearing before that something happened between him and Helmholdt quite a while back, and that's is somewhat the reason for the low ranking. Is there any weight to this?

This is a guy who is very under the radar.  Didn't drag out his recruitment, never went on a ton of visits or attracted a ton of attention.  Was very dominant as a HS player, but still somehow went more unnoticed than you would expect. 

I think he'll make a big time impact early in his M career.  Maybe not as a true frosh, but early on.
