Have seen elsewhere that the source is a bit dubious......Claims of spreading info from premium sites and spinning it into something to get attention and/or acclaim IF something actually happens.

Sam Webb said there has been some recent optimism that UM has gone from no shot to "having a chance" at least but he not to get expectations too high on this one.

Banks is not a real source.

Nonetheless, Nauta saying he's made the most difficult choice ever is what you say when you want to let someone like a girlfriend ( in this case, Georgia his boyhood school, close friends going to Georgia, etc) down easy. It's not something he's likely to say if he picked Georgia since everybody already thinks he's going there. Who really knows though.

Who wouldn't want to be a part of UM football right now?  We have arguably the best head coach in the country and the team just finished the first season under his leadership with a 5 game improvement over the previous season. There is no doubt UM will be contending for a national championships moving forward.  Harbaugh not only produces winning teams but he is does an excellent job with player development which will best prepare some of the players for the NFL.  Kids that aspire to reach their potential should want to play for Harbaugh.  On top of all the great things going on with the football program they also get the benefit of receiving a top notch education at one of the finest universities in the country.  It's really a no-brainer.

I love me some Harbaugh and I think he is the best coach out there but I don't say it out loud because there are a couple coaches with multiple NC wins that are still coaching. When he gets his first, then I think we could definitely proclaim him the "best" but until then, I stick with the "hottest" coach right now.

Harb is definitely one of the top 5 coaches in the business and its only a matter of time before he gets that National Championship.

His record shows it on the college and pro level. the guy is a flat out winner who has done nothing but win at schools with very high admissions standards, which takes 35-40% of recruits off the table.

If you dont believe by now, you are blind or just a hater like tosu

The Mgovibe around here seems to be "He's good, but no irreplaceable". I think he's the kind of athlete that we could have used around here for the four years or so before 2014. I am super excited about him.

1) We are certainly up against it in terms of schollie numbers.  This was an ideal opportunity for Harbaugh to jettison a recruit to 'trade up".  The fact he didn't demonstrates how highly Harbaugh must think of Evans.

2) I'm nowhere near as qualified as many on this board to evaluate HS kids' film.  That said, Evans looks freaking awesome!  Go Blue!

Good. This kid is really under-discussed around here, mostly due to his early commitment, but I'm excited for what he can do. Very fast and agile, plus he has tons of position flexibility.
