It's a little strange that the school would offer that kind of information.

That avatar is completely and exclusively my own creation, idea, and execution, and recently I have been kicking around the idea of returning to it.
I'd really appreciate it if you used something else. Thanks.

Why are people downvoting this (unless it's not true)? Seems like it's his decision if he wants to let other people use it or not if he made it.

Indeed
As college sports fans, we should all have a lot more respect for guys not wanting their intellectual property bastardized.

hard to control
Once something is on the internet, it's almost impossible to control what happens from there. As an artist, I can tell you, if you put something online ... it's fair game. Take it as a compliment that he used it.

If we get a couple other LBs, I'd be cool with O'Daniel playing RB for us. Especially if we miss on Ty Isaac.
March 1st, 2012 at 10:07 PM
#18
Is it possible they are
Is it possible they are recruiting McCray with the expectation that he's going to end up at DE down the road? That kid is huge. And it would alleviate some of the logjam building up if we a big LB class again.
March 2nd, 2012 at 12:24 AM
#19
DE - maybe, RB - no
I see us landing both Darian O'Daniel and Mike McCray, and I see one of those guys bulking up and playing DE.

He might need to hurry.
He might need to hurry. Gedeon is supposed to be visiting this weekend. Lots of interesting scenarios on how LB recruiting could fall out.
March 1st, 2012 at 8:46 PM
#21
Not really
They just repeat press articles. That quote is a direct quote from a recent Mike Ferrell article. Here's the full paragraph from Ferrell:
Michigan is the team to beat for O'Daniel followed by Clemson and now possibly Nebraska. The Hokies lead for Fuller with Alabama and Clemson having the best shot of stealing him away right now. Both are expected to announce at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in January so this will be a long haul.

It seems like we are in on a few top LB's and I wonder how many Hoke plans on taking?

I have been hearing three LB but we will certainly take two
March 1st, 2012 at 8:54 PM

3 LB's
If O'Daniel, Levenberry, and McCray all want to commit, I think you have to take 3 linebackers. How can you turn down talent like that?
March 1st, 2012 at 8:57 PM
#25
I would rather see the
I would rather see the coaches take 3 LBs instead of a 6th OL. Unless the 6th OL is Tunsil which is unlikely but possible.
March 2nd, 2012 at 12:26 AM

with ten spots left
We might be able to take both.
And I see one of those LBs playing DE.
March 1st, 2012 at 9:00 PM

The situation that comes to mind is
if we've got a full contingent on both sides of the line and it's a choice between another elite lineman and another elite skill position player.
March 1st, 2012 at 9:01 PM

That said,
I still hope we get those three.

Is it me or does it seem that Hoke is trying to make history with the 2013 class?
March 1st, 2012 at 9:26 PM
#30
Not trying to make history.
Hoke knows the type of football player he wants at each position and lets MIchigan sell itself. Between Hoke and his assistants, Michigan seems to be in good hands.
March 1st, 2012 at 10:28 PM
#31
Especially if you consider
Especially if you consider Shane Morris on of his assistants. I think his contribution to the recruiting effort is pretty significant.

Whoops wrong tab lol Moar recruits pls.

O'Daniel is listed as just over 200 pounds by Rivals.
Any chance he could end up playing safety?
March 1st, 2012 at 9:53 PM
#34
Doubtful
He has speed, but players don't usually end up moving back in the defense (college weight programs)....he does play running back for his HS though, also doubtful, but you never know
March 1st, 2012 at 9:10 PM
#35
Snag him
O'Daniel would be a great pickup and only influence Fuller into looking at us harder.
March 1st, 2012 at 9:46 PM

Someone is going to have to
Someone is going to have to tell me when we stop taking recruits. It's amazing to me that we may have to turn away a top-50 player because we don't have room.

4* Brigade
Gedeon, O'Daniel, Levenberry and McCray are all very good players and it would be hard to turn any away. I think McCray might have the potential to move to WDE like Frank Clark. Gedeon could play multiple LB positions and Levenberry I'm guessing could play Mike or Sam. O'Daniel might be able to play something other than LB thanks to his speed. Thus, I would not be completely shocked if they took all four. I know one thing, it would be a good problem to have if all wanted to commit.

Take three for sure
You take three all day.. Need someone to fill rjs spot when he goes first round right? Really though if all three want to come, you do not turn that talent down. Very impressive haul at lb and ol over two years if that happens. Just when you think its slowing down more golden poop

I'd love to grab O'Daniel,
I'd love to grab O'Daniel, Levenberry, McCray, Pocic, and one of Orndoff or Matuska and then really focus on RB/WR for the remaining spots (maybe a DB the cards fall right). It is astounding how this class is already filling up. I know it's been asked a million times but how many spots are we looking at this year? If I recall correctly it's something like 22-24 right?
March 1st, 2012 at 10:28 PM
#43
I like!
Not that its already painfully obvious, but Dorian O'Daniel would be a HUGE get!! I don't mind becoming the next Linebacker U and QB U and WR U and DL U, etc...you get the picture

It can also be noted that LBs
It can also be noted that LBs are a good position to over-recruit in general, anyway. Even if they don't pan out and can't crack the two-deep, they tend to make excellant special teams players.
March 1st, 2012 at 10:44 PM

All these projections...
At some point we're going to have to take some big boys in the middle. We need some BEEF on the defensive line.
March 1st, 2012 at 10:46 PM
#46
If this holds true
If this holds true and we get the guys that we presumably lead for (McCray, Levenberry, O'daniel) we will have the best linebacker recruiting class for the second year in a row. But what if a guy like Ben Gedeon wants to join in, do we take him? I think you would have to and hope one of the other linebackers move to defensive end so we can make room because you dont say no to talent like that.

James Quick

Jacob Matuska
Scott Orndoff
Ethan Pocic
Laremy Tunsil

Its an impressive list
It's an impressive list. Though, I will say, I would be completely shocked if we signed Quick and pretty darn shocked if we signed Fuller. Also shocked (less than with Fuller) if we signed Tunsil. There is of course a chance with all 3, but I'd still be shocked.
Still even leaving aside those 3, it is a stacked list.

This
This isn't surprising. I posted an update on Dorian last week and he was definitely turned off by Florida bringing in four linebackers a couple weekends ago. Michigan has always been one of his top schools and with Florida out of the picture now it's no surprise that he has Michigan on top.
