If it is Syracuse I wonder if Chryst has a Hoke like princpal in place - or if he is just being punitive.  I don't get leaving Wisconsin for Syracuse, I just don't.

That really isn't that impressive as Jersey is not real deep for talent. I don't quite understand the hype surrounding this guy. He seems like an average player at the collegiate level.

Syracuse is like Michigan without the stress of performance demands, academically or athletically, exception in the latter case for basketball. May Jake Pickard live long and prosper.

you don't enjoy the despair in the recruiting failures of other programs (e.g., Texas). Michigan will not always be asked to the prom either.

Sam Webb said he may have to wait to see if others commit before his offer becomes executable. Unfortunately for him he's caught in a numbers game and I'm sure he doesn't want to take a chance on falling too far.

Harbaugh may think he has a good shot at Wheatley. Pickard commited today because he doesn't know if Michigan will have room for him. If Wheatley JR goes elsewhere then there may be room again for Pickard. That's how I interpret Wiltfong's tweet.

I thought Wheatley was being recruited as a TE based on his time spent with offensive coaches and players on his visit so in that case this wouldn't have any bearing on this decision.
