Welcome aboard Jack!
Wangs 2 has alot to live up to-

Whoever labeled this "overrated"
needs to turn in their fancard...
"That's right. It's an off-tackle play. It's coming right over you. And there's not a thing you can do about it."
A-Fucking-men
A-Fucking-men.
That call still brings tears to my eyes.

Pffft, can't believe we needed a last-second TD to beat INDIANA.

That's an amazing play-by-play, gives me chills to hear it, that's sports at its best.

Shane Morris tweeted that Wangler committed to Michigan over an offer from Harvard. Impressive kid.
I think he should've chose
I think he should've chose Harvard. I mean he would probably have a better opportunity there and it's frigging Harvard, the Michigan of the east!
I'd have to agree. Full ride
I'd have to agree. Full ride and maybe play at Harvard, or pay your own way and ride the pine at Michigan. Maybe he's thinking redshirt as a freshman, undergrad degree at Michigan, play as 5th year senior at Harvard and grad school.
I will fight 'til I am dead, a winged helmet on my head.
Pretty sure they don't get
Pretty sure they don't get full ride, they just get accepted but still pay. It sounds like a bad deal but most of those kids probably wouldn't of been accepted if they applied. (They meet the requirements... It just takes more than that to get in.) or at least that is my understanding
Harvard doesnt really give
Harvard doesnt really give out scholarships, academic or otherwise.

Ivys now give out "financial aid"
to athletes... tuition reductions, as opposed to outright free rides, are not out of the norm anymore
From NYT (Dec 2011)
The Ivy League does not award athletic scholarships, but led by endowment-rich members like Harvard, Yale and Princeton, the conference has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in additional need-based aid — with most of the universities all but eliminating student loans and essentially doubling the size of grants meant for middle-income families.
The financial-aid enhancements have had a profound effect on the quality of athletic recruits. Rosters are now fortified with top athletes who would have turned down the Ivy League in the past because they would have been asked to pay $20,000 to $30,000 per year more than at other colleges.
Not to be redundant.
I know for a fact that Harvard does not offer athletic scholarships. I had a roommate with an 'offer' at Harvard to play football. That's exactly what it was. An offer to play football. Not for free.
Disagree
It depends on what he wants. Harvard opens certain doors that Michigan does not, it is true, but that only matters if those are doors that you want to go through. A few top, top law firms, academia, perhaps certain other jobs. But largely, if you do well at Michigan, there are few, if any, door that are closed. By contrast, harvard absolutely does notngce you the same college experience (campus, sports, etc.) as Michigan. I turned down Columbia for michigan for that very reason, and have never regretted it, personally or professionally.
Undergrad between Harvard and
Undergrad between Harvard and Michigan will not affect job prospects at top law firms. Law school is what matters - but frankly the top students at both Michigan and Harvard law will have the same opportunities at Wachtel, Cravath, Skadden, Kirkland, etc.
Wachel
Is prob the only exception. They tend to like the ivy schools, especially harvard. A few small boutiques, as well. But yeah, your point still stands - no difference for undergrad and only a minimal difference even in law school.
I agree. There is one private
I agree. There is one private school I would choose over Michigan and it's MIT. Even then, it would come down to what I was going for. I think a lot of people maybe overlook the social aspect of college which, to me was pretty educational. That and time management. "How much can I drink and still get by" was a question I was tested on regularily.
One of my friends turned down
One of my friends turned down Harvard to go to Cornell. A dreams a dream.
Harvard interest tells me
Harvard interest tells me that he is a pretty good athlete and damn smart. Unless the Ivy League has changed their rules in the last 5 years they do not offer athletic scholarships. When I went to Princeton on a recruiting trip and they said Ivys only give academic scholarships or very generous tuition aid packages. He would theortically be paying tuition either way so may as well carry on the legacy at Michigan.
Ok. Makes sense then.
Ok. Makes sense then. Thanks for the Ivy League knowledge.
And as a preferred walk on
He could actually earn a scholarship at Michigan (for one or more years). And even if he doesn't, it's still cheaper for his dad than Harvard.

I remember Wangler playing
I rushed the field when he hit Carter for the TD against Indiana. One of the games missing from the post about rushing the field after football games. Lee Corso was wearing his red pajama outfit on the sideline!
P.S. I'm old.

Old?
I was there also but was too old to rush the field then. I guess that makes me real old today. I wonder if his kid is called "Wangs?"

Now we need a quarterback named Carter to complete the circle.
Welcome To Michigan, Jack!
Welcome to the Michigan, Jack!
The film that is out there shows him to have some pretty decent hands, so hopefully we get to see another Wangler on the field. Always great to have legacy players.
His own words, in the 247 story - (LINK)
""I will make an impact at Michigan. It might not be right away and I know I'm going to have to work harder than I ever have, but this is something I realized before I made the decision. I'm coming in knowing I have to compete, but I'm also coming in knowing I can compete and become the player I want to be if I work at it."
Sounds like he has an excellent attitude and truly wants to be here. You can't ask for much more really.

Cograts!
Does anyone know if he's related to 2014 De La Salle prospect Jared Wangler?
If I say a duck can pull a truck, shut up and hook the sucka up!
Is this a legit question or
Is this a legit question or are you trolling?
Yes they are!
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/wanglers-sons-join-morris-dls
Given that they attend the same HS and have the same last name it would be a good assumption that they are brothers.
Not at all trolling.
Didnt want to just assume because two kids have the same name, that they are related. Sorry if it was common knowledge or covered before I posted. Guess thats why my post was marked redundant. It is what it is.
If I say a duck can pull a truck, shut up and hook the sucka up!
I didn't mark it redudant by
I didn't mark it redudant by the way. I just didn't know if you honestly didn't know! Yes they are brothers, and they moved to De La Salle last year I believe. Mainly to be with Shane, I think, and help give him a few decent receivers. As his team didn't really have much BCS level talent on it. Sadly, Shane obviously didn't get to play too much this year with the Wangler's, but it's good to see Jack walk on. I think we could see his brother walk on next year as well. Sorry if you took my question the wrong way, I didn't know if you legitimately didn't know. And I will upvote you, because it's not redundant to ask a question you don't know. And it's not like you asked 100 times in the same thread.
Yes he is.
Jared Wangler is the brother of Jack Wangler. Jared playes LB and RB for DeLaSalle. He also plays guard on the basketball team. Good athlete with good size. 6'2" and 200 lbs.
Yes he is.
My first double post. DAMN!

Wangler!
The name sends chills up and down my cotton-pickin' Maize and Blue spine!
John Wangler, despite his gimpy knees, was one helluva passer back in an era when Michigan seldom threw the ball. I was at that Gator Bowl in '79 when North Carolina beat U of M; if it hadn't been for Lawrence Taylor's vicious hit on Wangler's knee early in that game, I'm convinced Bo and Michigan would have come home with a victory.
I would be absolutely geeked if Jack Wangler were to find a way to get on the field for some meaningful playing time in his upcoming Michigan career. Hello Jack WANGLER!
Hey there, Jack!
Great to have you!
A Wangler commits to Michigan
A Wangler commits to Michigan as the basketball team prepares to play Indiana? This can only bode well.
Hail to the college whose colors we wear,
Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue!
I think you mean...
A Wangler commits to Michigan, M Hockey sweeps the Spartans, M swimming destroyed Ohio, M lacrosse won, and W Gymnastics won as the basketball team prepares to play Indiana? This most certainly bodes well!!!
His dad was one of Bo's
His dad was one of Bo's favorite QB's...and I think was the quarterback on Bo's first Rose Bowl-winning team. 1980 was a great year Here comes the son; welcome to Ann Arbor, Jack!
Wangs and
D. Brown are Bo's winning Rose Bowl QB's. Wangler had a gun. He couldn't run at all after LT nuked him in the Gator Bowl. Bo loved a passing QB.
He won Bo's first Rose Bowl
He won Bo's first Rose Bowl after that knee was destroyed. I am convinced that team would have won a playoff if only there had been one. They were dominant the last half of the year.
Bo came around
to passing QBs, but as I recall he favored the running QB, B.J. Dickey to Wangler in the early parts of their time at UM, much to my dismay.

Congratulations to the kid
and congrats to the team! We can always use kids who are tough and smart.

For some reason I can picture him being a solid contributor down the line.
