Countess helping recruit Cooper?....
I was looking around on twitter, and Darian Cooper tweeted to some other guy that Countess sent him a text about Michigan. Hopefully that means Countess is trying to recruit Darian to Michigan. However, his next tweet was "he got flipped". Hopefully he's not referring to Countess' recruitment. Read into it what you will, but I thought it was interesting.

Noooooo

Dude, I just read your tweets. You might be as creepy as the other guy. Do these HS kids respond to your tweets?

Just think how many people facebook chat these dudes, because that shit isn't out in the open. Obviously a recruit can block tweets and not accept friend requests, but they have no idea which people are just trying to creep from a far by reading their timeline/facebook wall, and which are going to actually engage them and try to persuade them to attend a certain school. (I believe this starts getting close to the illegal contact by a booster type shit. I'm not positive on the rules, but I believe all alumni/donors are considered boosters by default).

Def an interesting convo, that guy is creepy though. The he got flipped comment wasn't tweeted back at the guy talking about Countess so I dont think it was talking about flipping countess. That would be great if Countess recruited him/.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
but it's still a very scary comment. After hearing that Cooper may be back in play following his meeting with Mattison, he may be the most important possible additon to this class.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
That's exactly what he was talking about. I follow Darian Cooper too (not in a creepy way) and it happened at that exact moment.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:08 PM ^
Well I really hope we keep Countess. He seems like a very solid potentially lock down corner. If he is recruiting Cooper good job hope they both come to Ann Arbor.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:08 PM ^
Pretty sure he's referring to the AFC championship game. Could be wrong though.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
I would say this is dead on. He is tweeting about the AFC champ game, as he was prior to responding to others.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
I would really like both of them at Michigan. Let's hope that's just a frustrating coincidence.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
...is http://twitter.com/#!/jatink5, you need to chill with your tweets to Cooper.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
Word. Guy is going all jehovah's witness on Coop..
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
that guy seems pretty weird
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
That guy is really creepy. Yo, dude, leave these kids alone (he's also tweeting at Countess).
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
Michigan fans on the internet are creepy. This might have something to do with our recruiting woes the last couple of years.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:32 PM ^
Still, I think maybe someone should tweet at this guy to chill out.
Did I say that right? I have no idea.
January 23rd, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
I sent him a message, and I hope others did as well.
January 23rd, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
Let him know the best case is the recruits just brush him off.... he's not causing anyone to choose UM. If anything, he's hurting our chances with the new recruits.
January 24th, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
This has actually been a major problem among recruits and social networking websites. Fans think they can take it upon themselves to do the recruiting. This definitely scares recruits away.
January 24th, 2011 at 12:47 AM ^
TINKLER!
With a name like that you have to be creepy.
January 24th, 2011 at 1:16 AM ^
You don't honestly think it's only Michigan fan's do you?
January 24th, 2011 at 1:22 AM ^
Of course not, but as Michigan fans on the internet, it's our job to look after our own and keep people from reaching this level of stalker-creepiness.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:33 PM ^
Wow. If anything, that's scaring Cooper away.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:53 PM ^
Dantonio using some more of that dirty recruiting by posing as a Mich stalker? Nahh, that is giving him too much credit.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:46 PM ^
I just read jatink5's tweets and I am ready to decommit and I'm too old to play football. Hopefully all the other schools have their own Jeff tinkler so the kids just ignore him(please).
January 23rd, 2011 at 11:49 PM ^
Wow, being an avid Michigan or College Football fan is one thing. This is something else. Jeff Tinkler probably belongs in jail for stalking minors. Who ever the over guy is, adamum5 or whatever, he has issues as well.
January 23rd, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
What about this guy http://twitter.com/adamum5 who's tweeting Cooper, Countess, a bunch of Cass Tech kids, and asking TomVH for a recruiting job.
I think he's crossing a line.
January 23rd, 2011 at 11:47 PM ^
Uh that's gotta be awkward. He's a frequent poster here.
January 24th, 2011 at 12:29 AM ^
I was thinking he was working with TomVH since they have the same signature. I just checked his twitter and it is pretty weird. Aside from tweeting to possible recruits and Tom, it seems like he likes to tell porn stars that they are beautiful.
January 24th, 2011 at 1:24 AM ^
And the plot thickens!
January 23rd, 2011 at 11:46 PM ^
Jeff Tinkler. Awesome.
January 24th, 2011 at 12:48 AM ^
Right? I mean he has only 17 tweets and like 90% of them are to recruits.
Either that or he's just super creepy.... But I think that he's a sparty or something.
January 24th, 2011 at 11:18 AM ^
Ah, Bouje...
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
at Michigan though, and momentum is in our corner right now. I think we'll Hoke-us Pocus a few more gems before signing day.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
Just saw a new tweet. Who is Troy, and why is he cranking Blake Countess?
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
Polamalu?
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
I know. I was joking about people thinking the tweets were still about Countess.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
troy polamolu
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
Are the ones I'm hoping for the most come signing day. Unless Clowney suddenly becomes interested.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
Sounds to me like Cooper isn't seriously considering us. I would guess that he already has a school in mind.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:28 PM ^
I'd say our chances rise 50% if Tinker boy stops creepin'... Good intentions, horrible execution.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
I wouldn't worry about Countess until he changes his background. I did see somewhere that he Blake was possibly coming back for an unofficial visit just to get to know the coaches better.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:27 PM ^
This...
