Coach Ferrigno visiting BYU Commit Tanner Mangum

Scout has an article on Coach Ferrigno visiting BYU QB commit Tanner Mangum.

Question for the recruiting staff, with Bellomy last year and Morris for next year. How many more QB's do you think they will be looking into?

source article: http://michigan.scout.com/a.z?s=162&p=2&c=1072190&ssf=1&RequestedURL=http%3a%2f%2fmichigan.scout.com%2f2%2f1072190.html

 

player profile: http://michigan.scout.com/a.z?s=162&p=8&c=1&nid=4959786

 

 

I am open to any opinions.

I get what you're asking. I think they are just exploring every option. If you read his brief overview by scout. This kid has some impressive numbers. I know that the competition in Idaho is not the same as Texas, Florida, or even California. If i had to sum it up for you, they are doing their due dilligence. Plus the whole QB a year thing is a common practice.

I know it's a sparty forum, but there are some hints about us and Kiel as well, the plot thickens...

 

here's a preview:

I suspect that scUM either won't take a qb in this class or will go for more the career backup/project type.

I've heard something quite contrary and it might happen sooner rather than later.

It's not that they go out of their way to be mean.  Most people here are pretty chill.  It's just that if you start a thread with no info, people get pissed when they read it, then someone with a Scout membership goes out and reads the article and comes back with more info and has the option to either bury it in comments or start his own thread so that now we have two threads about the same thing... well, you see my point.  The way you did this is the best way, IMO.  This lets someone with a Scout membership go see if it's worth posting about (and then, ideally they'd give you props in their post, even though I know you didn't share the info for recognition).

Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.

Has Michigan ever had a player from Idaho?

I'm kinda curious.......

How did they even recruit a player from as far away as Idaho in 1894? Take a ten-day train ride to watch him?

even in those days.

I am suspecting this was more a case of him coming for an education and trying out for the team. He was good enough to make the team.

He was the top ranked player on scout in 1894.  He was also a 5 star on rivals and espn rated him as a 93.

But how could Rivals give him such a high rating knowing that he would never make it in the NFL?

but their program only started in 1893 (one year prior).  Price wanted to join an established winner with high expectations for the future.  He'd heard rumors of playing in front of a hundred thou one day.
