Dennis Pitta does Michigan a solid with Chris Clark
Dennis Pitta, TE for the Baltimore Ravens tweeted this at Chris Clark earlier today
You can't go wrong playing in a TE friendly, pro-style offense with a stud like Jay as your TE coach. Good luck with everything
This is his first tweet since July, I'm not sure if Jay asked him to do this or if he did it himself but i'm liking it.

something like 11 of the last 12 crystal balls picks have been to UCLA and its hard to believe that much activity is pure speculation. Optimistic side could be that a likely Wheatley plead drove Clark away.... if you're inclined to be optimistic

Meh, UCLA has had some recent success, is in CA, has a nice campus, and Mora is a good recruiter. That said, Jim Mora and "stability" seem unlikely to coexist for much longer, so I expect him to be moving on soon enough and a couple of these recruits may be stuck wondering what happened.
February 3rd, 2015 at 2:57 PM ^
I appreciate the tweet and all, but has Jay actually coached TE's before?

He is an expert in this matter who plays TE at the highest level and has worked with Jay Harbaugh. We are posting on a blog

Going for a Belmont Transfer?
February 3rd, 2015 at 4:11 PM ^
Because I can't stop giggling at this.

I hope USC smokes UCLA this season.
February 3rd, 2015 at 3:12 PM ^
but the Michigan Football twitter account just retweeted that Chris Clark started following Grant Perry following his commitment to Michigan.
Curious...
February 3rd, 2015 at 3:26 PM ^
Clark re-tweeted it too. We'll have to wait and see what tomorrow holds for us.
February 3rd, 2015 at 3:33 PM ^
If an NFL player tweeted at me I would retweet it no matter what but we can hope

make it pretty clear he is going to UCLA.
“I’m coming in with an elite class and the No. 1 quarterback in the country. That’s why I love them.”
Not paywalled.

about where he wants to go. At this point I don't anyone can say for certain where he goes. Clark clearly likes both UCLA and Michigan. Can't say I blame. Both are outstanding schools with a lot to offer.He's going to be just fine at either school.Plus, these are the two best uniforms in all of college football.
February 3rd, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
UCLA is in the same category as Michigan in a lot of things...uniforms is not one of them.
February 3rd, 2015 at 5:37 PM ^
There is only one thing on this planet more beautiful than a Michigan uniform and that is a sexy woman in a Michigan uniform. Or naked with a uniform in her hands...the choice is yours.
February 3rd, 2015 at 3:41 PM ^
I would imagine a recruit would like to hear from a NFL player.

Who is this AEPi? What position does he play, how many stars does he have, is it to late to flip him?!!!!
February 3rd, 2015 at 3:45 PM ^
how big of an effect this could have on his decision. Yea, for rational thinking adults, its mostly just Pitta helping out an old pal in Jay Harbaugh, but to an 18 year old kid with a massive ego, its huge. And I say massive ego because Chris Clark is an 18 year old male. Comes with the territory. Not saying it will cause him to commit to UM, but I guarantee you its going to keep UM on the front of his mind the rest of the day.
February 3rd, 2015 at 3:48 PM ^
already tweeted him.UCLA has already used the NFL card.
February 3rd, 2015 at 4:32 PM ^
unlike Pitta, Lewis and Fauria both graduated from UCLA, and likely can be considered boosters. Pitta vouched for the coach, not the University. So unless you can embed a tweet, I'm calling bullshit.
February 3rd, 2015 at 5:21 PM ^
Of course, people said Oakland was negotiating with Jim before end to NFL season -- so rules dont affect a juicy rumor.

not 18. I wonder how much effect this will have in Clark developing. He would not have been eligible to play HS football in Michigan as he turned 19 before the school year started. Still hope he goes Blue tomorrow though.
February 3rd, 2015 at 7:09 PM ^
enough said
February 3rd, 2015 at 3:49 PM ^
I remember being torn between 2 schools when I was a high school senior. Ultimately, I opted for Michigan, and it was one of the best decisions I've made in my lifetime. I recall the pressure to decide - but it's nothing like these recruits have to face, with adults wooing and trying to convince them, friends and strangers inquiring about their intentions, etc. I can see how it can be overwhelming
I really hope that these kids enjoy it, though, for the most part. With the exception of those who ultimately excel in pro football and get wooed as a free agent, this type of situation willl likely not recur.
February 3rd, 2015 at 4:28 PM ^
because why in the world would Dennis Pitta know who Chris Clark is or care about a kid from CT choosing between Michigan and UCLA? Wouldnt surprise me if Jay made a call to a friend since Pitta isn't a Michigan booster
February 3rd, 2015 at 5:22 PM ^
Don't mean to be the negative nancy here but I do not see Chris Clark coming to UM. I think the Mora snake oil and the locale won him over....not who will develop him best.
February 3rd, 2015 at 7:03 PM ^
I tend to agree with you on Clark. I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

"Hey kid, wanna be in the NFL? I'm in the NFL. I like Jay. You should play for him."
