Danny O'Brien still an option?

With TomVH's cryptic comment yesterday in the ESPN chat, does anyone wonder if Danny O could be back in play?  Tom said that he couldnt really say much other than the person is committed to another school.  I don't think he was referring to Reeves, so who is it?  With all the shenanigans going on at Tennessee, I wouldnt mind seeing O'Brien back in the mix for UM.  And yeah, I know we have a ton of DL talent coming in, but we lost Pharoah who was at one time considered a DL/TE commit.

We don't think it's Reeves because his visit to Michigan is fairly public, which is far from "secret." I'm sure Tom wouldn't have a mentioned a secret visit in relation to Armani since it is common knowledge that he is visitng this weekend.

I've heard his name tossed around too, but according to his Rivals page, he's already taken four officials and is taking his fifth this weekend to Arkansas. 

Now, switching his official from Arkansas to Michigan wouldn't be a big deal, but then why does it need to be a secret?  If ASU already knows he has an official scheduled for this weekend, why would switching that official to a different school need to be a secret?  Especially since all four of his officials that he's taken have been since his commitment to ASU.

He might also be visiting, but it doesn't add up why he'd want it to be a secret.

if I'm acting like I know something when I clearly don't, is 6'4" a little shorter than optimal for OT?

It is shorter than optimal, but it's not prohibitive.  Arm length is more important for a tackle than height, it just usually happens that taller guys have longer arms.  Matt Light is 6'4" I think, and he's a tackle. 

Most top tackle are 6'6"+, but there are good ones in the 6'4" to 6'5" range too.
