Diamond Final 2 M and Ark

By Vote_Crisler_1937 — January 25th, 2012 at 4:24 PM — 77 comments
I heard from a source I trust that Jordan Diamond has a final 2 of Michigan and Arkansas. According to this source Michigan has maintained a slight lead the whole year but Diamond has been very cautious and will continue to be very cautious because it's a huge decision for him. Sorry if this post is lame but it was news to me that he has a final two.

FWIW, I have corresponded with this poster over email from time to time and know his backstory. It is logical that he would have some information about Diamond and it is unlikely he's trolling.

Obviously, these things are not 100% reliable but I'd regard it as a real piece of information.

I am impressed with our the coaching staff being able to maintain a consistent edge with JD all year long despite the changes in CFB, tsio's en fuego recruiting (unfortunately), our heavy OL class until recent, and the fake Scout report about Funk. Awesome Job to the staff.

Thanks for the post.  I respect the fact that Diamond is playing it cautious.   It a huge decision in his life and this shows that he is really thinking it through.  By waiting until after signing day, he can also see where other recruits are going.  I would want to know if both Garnett and Kozan are going Blue and whether I'd be part of a 7 lineman class. 

Me personally, I'd like to know his answer by 4pm. 

Hope he ends up in Ann Arbor.

Somebody on the free board on scout said that Michigan would take all 3, is that even possible?

They will likely have the room, but I would hope they stop at 6 and spread the depth over a couple classes.  However, my guess is they would take all 7, and let the competition begin.

Makes sense in light of his recent visit. An Arkansas commit who accompanied him likes the Hogs' chances, FWIW.

Great great signature line.  I laughed out loud.  

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

That the quality of education was a high priority for Diamond (as it purportedly is for many recruits).  So let's see.......hmm........University of Michigan?  Okay I get that possible choice as it is one of the top five public universities in the USA in virtually every rating.  Arkansas? Arkansas?  I haven't seen the undergraduate program or any other program from such esteemed institution rated in the top 50 or 75 of any rating anywhere.  So where does the quality of education come into play here?

I understand the problem that Garnett would have as it would be really hard to turn down a four-year ride to Stanford and head to Michigan.  Not only the prestigious education, but Palo Alto is a pleasant environment 12 months a year.

But Arkansas?

As I mentioned in other threads, other than the nice weather, I really don't get the appeal of Palo Alto. I live near there and it's a sterile, boring environment not just for college football, but for college in general. Even the weather is overrated. It can get pretty cold and dreary during the winters here in in the Bay. At least in Ann Arbor, you have South Quad/West Quad snowball fights to help lighten the winter mood.

The only UG programs worth talking about are Business and Poultry Science

 

These are largely based on the men they are named after and the money they invest in the programs - Sam Walton (Walmart) and John Tyson (Tyson Chicken)

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I have followed recruiting closely for awhile and the vast majority of recruits mention academics as a factor in their decision. I think a lot of times it's the recruit's parents that stress academics but it doesn't have a significant impact on their final decision. You see it happen quite frequently. A recruit may talk about academics and then release a top-five that consists of two academic heavyweights and three state colleges. There are a few exceptions, like Garnett.

Some people I know have said the same thing.  Auburn being the third place team here, it's down to us and Arkansas.
