Filling Out the Class - Weekend Edition

not gone, is hill

It really, really seems like Connor Murphy will be blue if the staff thinks he's a take.  To be honest, it's seemed that way since the beginning of his recruitment.

I don't have the same skepticism about Lavert Hill.  I genuinely think it's about a 50/50 shot, but I don't think it's as bleak as people are saying.  As for DPJ, he's a Cass Tech kid, not a King kid.  DPJ is a must get recruit and is neither a shoo-in nor a goner.

Ooooooo, guns, guns, guns! Come on, Sal! The Tigers are playin'...to-night!

And I never miss a game...

DPJ goes to Cass Tech not King.

I like the nickname of "Mmmbop"

I know he's most likely gone, but it may be premature to say Elliot's gone already.

Also apparently Sam Webb said there are rumors Hill is gonna be/has been on campus today. I haven't seen any confirmation, but if true he's coming straight from his MSU official. 247 also has his reaction to the visit and it's pretty muted.

28. Murphy

29. Nordin

30. Fulller OR Hill OR Elliott

Ideal scenario imo would be to not take Stewart and then get Tagaloa, Asiasi, Murphy, and one of Hill/Fuller for the final four spots. Seems very unlikely though.

I don't think we can take Nordin on scholarship at this point.

I wouldn't doubt the Harbaugh. We have yet to see his closing powers. SOON.

Need to get Hill.

Even though he's likely headed to ND, I think Jon Jones is worth mentioning in the OP.

That is a handy table. Nicely presented.

Are things so bad with the King coaches that UM can't even sign the brother of a guy who is major contributor on the current team? I guess its just hard for me to believe that the King coaches would have a greater impact on this than his own brother. That would come off as a major coup for MSU :(

I think we get Conner Murphy. His brother, who Harbaugh got to the League, was there for the slumber party. Seems like a pretty strong influence to have in M's corner.

We may have a better chance with Asiasi than I had thought, based on his initial visit reactions.

Thing dates back to the RIchRod era, correct?

Murphy, Nordin I think are both very good bets from what I've read on insider boards.

I think nordin will make a championship team out of the celebration of quality management software developers who have already worked on unsigned recruits

A couple shoutouts on the front page and Alum's arrogance is approaching WD levels, lol.

At least it's good stuff in the OP though. Quality content can be arrogant...you're like the Cam Newton of the board. Me? I'd like to think of myself as Dominic Raiola...always around, but not very helpful with anything.

I would hold off on Elliott until he actually decommits. He's been in Austin this weekend but hasn't actually decommited yet.

anyone got good crock pot recipes they could share?

Hill is not done yet and Scout has not said this is so.

Thanks for another great summary Alum96.  Realize I am in minority in thinking Elliot is still realistic for Michigan, especially with CB from Steve for him to Texas, but to my knowledge he has not decommited from Michigan yet.   Even though staying home in state can be a strong pull, Messrs. Harbaugh, Brown, and Mattison can be a strong pull for this talented young man who likely has NFL aspirations.  If he decommitts from Michigan, then I will give up on him too.

PS posted same time as ThadMattasagoblin.

Allen really seemed to enjoy his visit at Nebraska according to Twitter fwiw

Elliot actually decommit? Or is it just speculation on him visiting Texas?

I had not seen this mentioned anywhere else so I made an account to post, but I saw Murphy touring on the top floor of Ross earlier today and he seemed pretty impressed. I had not realized he was visiting, but his mullet was very hard to miss. Cannot help but think that if there is a spot Murphy will end up here.

please get viramontes back! great worker, but also helps that California pipeline open up. Crawford, Vic, long. almost as valuable as that east coast, particularly NJ, stronghold.

He has the same first name as our basketball star, his brother goes here, he has it all going for him over here I just don't get it. Why on Earth would he go to that place?

Yea Scout did NOT say Hill is for sure gone. WD is flat out wrong. Now that's not to say he won't end up with MSU but Sam Webb, nor anyone else, did not say he was gone.

I'd be surprised if we didn't get Murphy

Per Webb. Also says it's gonna be a battle but certainly not over.

Any news on Onwenu or Hill following their MSU visits? I know Hill went to UM afterwards...

raulerson from texas and taysum hill as two grad transfers over most of the guys left on the board.

Is Fuller in play for UM? He was in AA with the NJ crew, right? Not a mention of his visit or interests anywhere.

on the edge of the internet,  someone posted that rivals keeps hinting that kalis won't get a fifth year.....  how is that even possible... as a starter at a position losing its best player?  unless that its him who wants to move on and play at another school immediately, it just seems bizarre that he wouldnt be offered a fifth year... and ive been quite vocal on the frustration of watching him play, too.

question on TE

If Asiasi commits, does that send Allen to Mizzou?

If no, then do both committing, send McKeon away?

I guess I'm asking if the offers are of the first refusal types.  eg if they told McKeon, ok, you're our 4th TE on our board, and you can come here if the first three do not.
