Filling Out the Class - Weekend Edition
Trying to sleuth out the class, more for "how many spots can we take" - max 30.
Thesis
- We have 22 commits
- 3 gone so back to 19 - Elliott, Johnson, Weaver
- 2 added by 8 pm , back to 21- Uche, Mmmbop
- Silently (?) - Stewart, McDoom
- Added in my heart - Gary
- Warm feelings - Allen, Hudson
- Once academics clear = offer = Sam gut = sad Frankin - Dwumfour
Take you back up to 27. DiscussMan from there on spots 28-30. If you get both kids out of Cali (no speculation that is happening) you basically have 1 slot it seems. If not, then 3 max?
Discussion points
- Will Dytarious Johnson remain in class - filling a swim lane?
- WD says Hill gone due to Scout premium, no King player ever again to UM in our life until coaches gone.
- Onwenu flip chances small
- Fuller seems OSUish
- Murphy - very quiet
- Do we get either of the 2 Cali kids currently on campus? Both? If Asiasi do they take both Allen and he (I assume yes)
- Pie - still out there; always out there
- Nordin - Baxter or us?
- Viramontes - final 3 Cal, Utah, UM
- EJ Price and Isaiah Simmons at this point not visiting UM, unlikely end points.
- (EDIT) J. Jones - all the ballz to ND of late

DiscussMan vs Yoda - a battle of epic wills.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:41 PM ^
Did he finally acknowledge he is Discuss man?
January 24th, 2016 at 6:17 PM ^
alum, you give WD a lot of shit, but your posts ain't perfect either. Mmmbop, really? And so much forced snarkasm in these posts. Don't really need hints of a catfight with a kid 20 years younger than you inserted in there, do we? Just like my opinion, man.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:21 PM ^
The Mmmbop thing was a way to refer to Mbem-Bosse and the somewhat mystifying inability of most recruiting reporters to pronounce his name.
In other words, it was a joke on a name and not a shot at our beloved college student over-poster.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:27 PM ^
I know, I wasn't saying that was a reference to WD. Sorry about my unclear post. I meant Alum has some over-snark (arrogance, as Mr. Yost put it?) and his posts aren't perfect because of it. I just feel like "Mmmbop" is a bit disrespectful to a high school kid, I dunno.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:34 PM ^
I've also suggested that commenting on grayshirts/decommits is a bad look, but not sure if alum ever saw that. I feel like there's a reason the writers don't comment on things like that beforehand. When there's no evidence to back up the speculation, is it worth taking a guess? There's a possibility it gets back to recruits and it might be a better idea to just say "1-2 grayshirts/decommits likely, no word on who" etc
January 24th, 2016 at 6:35 PM ^
Call me Rosenberg, but you're stretching too much
January 24th, 2016 at 6:53 PM ^
lmao. Love it.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:58 PM ^
Steve Lorentz called him mmmbop on a podcast recently. So alum got it from him.
January 24th, 2016 at 8:17 PM ^
Actually I didn't hear that.
I thought i was being creative. I got out Aquamanned! Damnit.
January 25th, 2016 at 1:18 AM ^
I think Lorenz said EMB on the MGoPodcast.
January 24th, 2016 at 8:14 PM ^
MMMMbop is as mean spritied as every cultural reference Berman has thrown on players for a few decades. It's a playful term.
As for WD honestly I think I've been largely supportive of him writing multiple times when people ask him about his personal life, dating, etc that why do you care etc.
Mr Yost and I talk every football Saturday for hours on end in non UM game threads - I teased him today, he got a bit peevy. I'll get a bit peevy at him in a few months on something. Life will go on.
I'm sorry I peed in your Cheerios today (ok not really) oops that was snark.
January 25th, 2016 at 4:23 AM ^
At least you didn't pee in his ear! -Tim Miles
January 25th, 2016 at 6:24 AM ^
Alum brings a lot to this board and I appreciate that very much. Why bitch about trivial things man?
January 24th, 2016 at 5:32 PM ^
No one likes a shtick.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:02 PM ^
AMIRITE? Discuss koalas.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:04 PM ^
Bleh! I don't eat bamboo.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:04 PM ^
The resemblance between you and yoda is uncanny!
January 24th, 2016 at 6:39 PM ^
More handsome, I am.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:19 PM ^
This I can agree with.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:29 PM ^
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.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:32 PM ^
Thank you - I had an Ambry Thomas @ King flare up. DPJ = Cass Tech = So you're saying there's a chance? Nice.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:34 PM ^
Ambry Thomas... is probably a goner. Yes. And that totally sucks, because he's one hell of a player.
Hope I'm wrong, there. I understand he's a good dude too.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:36 PM ^
Long way to go.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:38 PM ^
Did something happen recently with Detroit King, or is it like Farmington where they've always been an MSU school?
January 24th, 2016 at 5:41 PM ^
Norfleet recently. Not sure what before that has them hating us.
I think Jim and Coach Wheatley would be well served to do a slumber party w/ King coaches.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:41 PM ^
Isn't their coach unhappy with something related to Norfleet?
January 24th, 2016 at 7:05 PM ^
that standards are viewed negatively? If that scares a kid then so be it.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:55 PM ^
Apologies if this has been explained but Jesus how fucking immature for HS coaches to totally steer guys away from this University, M degree, and objectively impressive coaching staff for whatever petty beef they have.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:12 PM ^
Not saying I agree that this describes Michigan, but if you thought a school viewed your kids as disposable or that they're dishonest--something along those lines--then you steer your kids from that school/staff.
Not sure if any of this actually applies to Norfleet, but this is one excellent lesson for the repercussions of cutthroat recruiting practices.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:42 PM ^
We were advocating the Cass Tech coaches doing just that over the Mike Weber thing last year.
January 24th, 2016 at 8:34 PM ^
King coaches are upset that Harbaugh didn't visit their school last year when he was hired but he went to Cass. They are also mad that Mich is breaking their necks recruiting the Jersey boys but couldn't give the Big three kids at King their undivided attention. Finally, Blackwell is associated with King.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:54 PM ^
We need to stop promoting the notion that no King kid will come to Michigan until their present coaches are gone. I mean did someone from their high school officially make that statement? If the MLK coaches are depriving their players of a chance to attend Michigan, then some parents of those kids should be upset, and possibly some players also.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:07 PM ^
I highly doubt that any coach would ever say that publicly. OTOH, as you know the coaches have a lot of influence and can tell the kids "inside" stuff and help steer the kids to wherever they want.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:56 PM ^
DPJ's twitter looks like he's all OSU at this point.
January 25th, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
not after meyer leaves.
January 24th, 2016 at 10:18 PM ^
Tying up MSU resources would be masterful on one of MSU'S most important recruiting weekends. Onwenu seems to be along for the ride and tweets by Hill seem pretty blue and like he's very close to his brother. I see them both in Michigan's class and I would say I'm pretty confident of it.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:30 PM ^
Ooooooo, guns, guns, guns! Come on, Sal! The Tigers are playin'...to-night!
And I never miss a game...
January 24th, 2016 at 5:33 PM ^
DPJ goes to Cass Tech not King.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:33 PM ^
I like the nickname of "Mmmbop"
January 24th, 2016 at 6:27 PM ^
The Boss better.
January 24th, 2016 at 7:19 PM ^
We're giving that to Boss Tagaloa, of course, when he and Devin Asiasi shock everyone and go blue after a weekend of bonding during the snow days . . .
January 24th, 2016 at 5:33 PM ^
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.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:36 PM ^
Elliotts gone, but at least we have 2 more of them.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:36 PM ^
Don't quote me but I think WD said in another thread he'd eat a cactus and a python if we land Hill.
So I want Hill.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:39 PM ^
Actually, I think he said he'd attend a lemon party if we got Hill. So, I want Hill, too.

But I vote we give him a pass!
January 24th, 2016 at 5:42 PM ^
Well then. Gary is 1A and Hill is 1B. Carry on.
