In Safari there's no problem, so the problem seems to be connected to FF. I'm not having any issues getting to any other sites, and I can get to the Scout/GoBlueWolverine message board page in FF.. but not their home page. Are you using FF or some other browser?

"Kirkland Jr. will spend just Saturday night in Ann Arbor and while all things are trending in a positive direction he told me that a commitment will not happen. He will stick to his timeline of an August decision date but another positive experience on campus definitely helps Michigan’s cause as these types of visits work wonders with recruits."

As pessimistic as I am about the direction of the program, they are still recruiting well despite all the negativity that has surrounded the last two seasons.

Kirkland looks kind of small on film and his competition is absolutely atrocious. Still happy for the commitment but I'm taking him with a grain of salt.

He plays in the MIC. Competition is unbelievable. Top conference in Indiana and ranked as one of the top conferences in the country. Routinely at least one team in the conference is ranked in the top 25 nationally if not more. Warren Central, Carmel, Ben Davis, Pike, Center Grove, Lawrence Central. May be other things to worry about (not saying there is) but the level of his high school competition is not one of the.

Yup. That conference is stacked.  I'm a Lawrence Central alumnus, and when I was there we were in Conference Indiana.  We would have been smoked in the MIC.  Anyway, there are a TON of athletes in the Indianapolis area. Yes, It's basketball, but when i was in high school the MIC had Greg Oden, Mike Conley, Josh McRoberts, and Eric Gordon.  George Hill and Jeff Teague were also in the area at the time, although in different confereces.
