A few minor recruiting notes 12/21
December 21st, 2011 at 6:36 PM ^
Is Abiragi's name spelled wrong or is he not in Rival's database? But I'm cool with any walk-on candidate.
Very interesting that our first 2014 offer is to a kid from Utah.

December 21st, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
Google is your friend. It looks like he hasn't been scouted much by the main sites, but its still early and with this offer that's sure to change.
December 21st, 2011 at 6:48 PM ^
December 21st, 2011 at 6:54 PM ^
How big is he? Do you know if he'll play safety or corner? Is he the next Jordan Kovacs?
December 21st, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
December 21st, 2011 at 7:03 PM ^
...and a lot smaller. For sure this guy's a walk-on, unless he's crazy athletic at that size.
December 21st, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
Are you Coach Jackson?
December 21st, 2011 at 6:58 PM ^
Sounds gritty.

I don't know if it's interesting, but this kid must really be mature to warrant an free ride offer to Michigan forgodsakes as a 10th grader!! Most 10th graders I know are zit faced 140lbs'ers....

I think it's about time someone (a mod?) makes the 2013 Offer List, posted a few months ago, a sticky under the Useful Stuff tab, no?
/endrant
Edit: Here's the post: http://mgoblog.com/diaries/presenting-2013-offer-list
It looks like wlubd has been keeping it up to date, which is awesome, but putting it in Useful Stuff would also be awesome (unless I'm an idiot and it's easy to find on the homepage...wouldn't be the first time).
December 21st, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
I've suggested before it be put in the useful stuff so that other people can update if necessary. I assume it'll be done around NSD when 2012 recruiting is wrapped up.
December 21st, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
Just that every top player in Michigan and Ohio go Blue!
December 21st, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
Looking good, but it would be nice to see some more info about NT and DTs. Anything about this floating around?
December 21st, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
both dt. Poggi has a big upsize. Poet could surprise people with his offer list if he blows up in camps next year.
December 21st, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
thats an offer that is getting out there a little far. A lot can happen between now and 2014.
December 21st, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
I don't totally disagree with you, but 7 months ago we had a 2013 commit. So it's getting to be the time to send out 2014 offers pretty soon.
December 21st, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
I think it is all about being the first one to show interest, making that first great impression and securing a special place in the heart of a recruit. Your first one is always special.
I love that we are making inroads with sophomores. Let's get those folks interested in Michigan and make the rest hustle to catch up.

Don Bosco Prep just makes me think of Donnie Brasco. Damn fugazys & dunskys ... lol
December 21st, 2011 at 7:28 PM ^
I'm on my phone and don't feel like playing around with it to much but brionte dunn is officially and EE according to bill Greene @scout. This saga is officially over. Thank god
December 21st, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
Gobluegr -- The blog should put you on the payroll. Secondly, your employer should fire you as you are on scouting service sites too often!
Either way, thank you!
December 21st, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
If the first bit is true, it must surely be the first time in history that the first UMich offer has gone to a player from Utah.
