I would love to have Willingham and open up a pipeline to Mullen High in Denver. They have back to back state championships and are always nationally ranked. They have a highly rated QB for next year's class named Cyler Miles.

Mullen is a football factory in Denver and coached by Dave Logan.  Willingham was up at CU when Kellen Jones was there apparently and sounds like this weekend has been good all around for the visitors.

That'd be awesome, I think Willingham is def Blue...Why else would he be committed to TaM , never visit, cancel his only visit there, and toto A2 instead? He'd be a major bonus...Ive only seen and heard things about 2012 defensive recruits and how stacked Midwest is so far...I'm def excited about next yrs class

Name seems a little too close to Miley Cyrus for my taste. However, if he can throw a football to a receiver's chest and not 5 feet behind him or over his head I guess I can let it slide.

Is an awesome phrase. Danny Hope brought it back. Brady Hoke was presented a winged wizard hat by Dave Brandon to become the lastest in a long line of snake oil salesman. Dating back to Fielding Yost.

I think we have 17 recruits practically in the bag. That in itself is a real success considering we're were sitting at 10 a few days ago and coach Hoke had 2 weeks to work with. I think hauling in 19 may not be out of the question and a real coup in my opnion.

It's starting to look like this class if going to fill up, which is great.

14 commits right now.

There are 3 kids on campus now (according to TomVH visit list) that we have a great shot with:  Willingham, McClure, and Clark plus we have a great shot at landing Chris Bryant and Thomas Rawls. 

Not to mention we could still end up with Fisher.

If Hoke doesn't call Hakeem Flowers today, it could be that he's expecting to fill this class up with prospects at other positions.

I think most people were saying a few days ago that it would be a success for Hoke to get 15 kids in this class.

I am just trying to have fun for one night here after 3 years of misery.  If YOU have a problem with my posts just say so. Otherwise you know what to do.

I checked Rivals and Mullen has two QBs in the 2012 class that are by Rivals' standards good enough to play Div. 1. How the hell does that work? Quarterback by committee is never a good idea.
