Conley Announcing Tomorrow

...it's rather more of a recruiting bullet train really. It's looks pretty darn good to have that many strong verbal commits in such a short span. The #20 CB in the nation per Rivals is certainly welcome.

Mike, you dont say.

Good one.

"Hey Brady, can I use your office for a few minutes.  Gotta call Jimbo."

are you doing unbuckled when we're riding a speeding bullet train for recruiting?!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT SOUNDS!!!!!

Did you know it is a crime to travel in the MgoBus and not be buckled up?    -1 to you and you receive an MGoTicket.

Remember Kids:  Click It, or Ticket.

With the needs locked down, that's what they're doing now. Plus, don't get deceived by Conley's offer list. Very smooth for a 6'2 CB.

A bird in the hand, my friend.

Just how the coaches are calling off the uncommitted LB recruits, I'm sure they'd do the same thing at other positions if they felt there were elite recruits we had a good shot at or were worth waiting for.  Or maybe the coaches think Conley is that good.  Scout has him as the #20 CB in the country, which is pretty solid.

I watched his film and at his size, he will be a great pick up. Kid can fly and accelerates quickly most importantly.

Don't necessarily think they need to slow down but we're right in there for some top talent at CB and it would be nice to let a few of those recruitments play out a bit first.

Ummmm why? We are already in on plenty of blue chip recruits, would you rather recruits string the coaches along the whole time only to pick other schools? Jordan Diamond, and Joshua Garnett are prime examples. 

It would seem easier to get kids to stay committed to your school, rather than trying to get them to commit in the first place.

You mean like Garnett? And Diamond?

I bet they regret taking Blake Bars' commitment when Garnett and Diamond were out there.

Oh wait.

If I remember correctly, Pipkens was not on anyone's radar last year.  Standifer was another example that gained attention after Michigan's offer and if not for the missing language classes was picking up alot of attention as well.  

Given that many HS players continue to grow and develop I would give a lot of string to the fact that the coaches are picking up on very good talent very early in the process.  

In a way a see your point, buuuuuut one of the reasons we are having so much success with this class is because we got the job done early last year and were able to start concentrating on 2013 before anyone else in the Midwest. I specifically remember when we were all over Taco Charleton and it was like last summer. He said something along the lines of he didnt grow up a Mich fan and was more of an OSU guy. When asked about his recruitment in the fall he said that Mich was by far and away showing him the most love and that paid off for us in a big way. The name Malick McDowell is another bit of positivity when it comes to our efforts in the 2013 class being put together so early as he will be a bigtime prospect, and we are his first Bigtime offer (no the Cuse doesnt count). I personally think thats why we will not only finish strong in 2013, but we will also start very strong in 2014.

what is HALOL i know its laugh out load but whats the HA?

I bet Urban Meyer is behind it, that sly devil.

Hoke doesn't respect the fanbase... he needs to remember who writes the checks. I'm not saying it's right, but there's no way the blue hairs stand for this. Maybe you can get away with this at San Diego Tech or whatever, but not here. Hoke's about to get run out on a rail and it's his fault, just dumb.

Malik McDowell commit watch, of course!  Only 23 months until NSD 2014!!!

but maybe that is his genius idea. if i can just finish this class before the summer...there will be so many um recruiting sites that can do real people stuff instead of wearing out their f5 key.

Within a week or 2 of his commitment to Michigan they will have something on him. Prob a generic 3-star and then if he does some camps and does well then he'll have the opportunity to move up. It would be nice to see him have a great seaon and garner a 4th star but its not the end of the world.

Wed likely keep pursuing them and possibly save a spot for them based on their interest level.  There will always be certain guys the staff will save spots for, but you don't want to do that with too many guys because you might get burned. 

I'm sure the coaches will feel it out with those guys over the next few months.  However, if other guys who are close to that level want in, it could change things as well.

I think losing Standifer and losing out on Reeves might make the coaches a little more open to taking a 3rd CB in this class. I imagine Hargreaves and Fuller will still visit, and we'll go from there. 

Chill.  The kid is taking his time and thinking it through.  It's only March. 

Kinda eliminates any remaining suspense.

Also for fans like @crosier2432, please don't tweet recruits...You make us look really bad when a kid says he's committing to Michigan and you immediately get on his case asking him if he's gonna flip at some point. Great welcome to the family...

It's time to cut the coffee for the day bud. 

Doesn't Fuller go to Good Councel in Maryland.

Yeah, Thomas is included in pretty much every Bucknuts' class predictions.  Most are 100% certain they will get Dymonte.  Most of these predictions are based upon the though he will visit for every home game and celebrate with the team in the locker room afterward.  

Frankly, I don't see why that isn't a legitimate question.  It makes sense to become more selective the more full the class gets.  I'm not saying Conley isn't a tremendous player, but the question itself is fair.

I am a homer and you are 100% correct.

He is CB but your list has WR crossed off.
