IL TE Daniel Helm has UM in top four

Scout free article. Really enjoyed his spring game visit and has recently said that UM coaches are recruiting him the hardest. Ole Miss, UF, and UT are the other three schools in his top group. 

On Ohio:
“I enjoyed the visit a lot, but I’m not exactly sure if an offer may come,” said Helm. “Coach Hinton said they would continue to evaluate me after their spring game and I would know more later on, but I’m just unclear on how to consider them moving forward. It was a cool to see another campus and to check them out, but even if they decide to offer, I don’t think they would join my top four schools.”

Under Daniel's helm, the TE

Under Daniel's helm, the TE position looks bright!

 

ps. I hope OSU offers so he can snub them.

Hoke’s staff impressed Helm once again.

Reminds me of the Grey Poupon commercial:  "But of course!" :-)

Football is a cold weather sport, damn it.

As much as people have

As much as people have complained about Borges sometimes (myself for certain games as well), it's tough not to like how he uses tight ends, and I bet Helm saw that a little bit at the spring game.

Yeah, Helm looks like a

Yeah, Helm looks like a U-back type, so he would be doing the things that we saw Funchess and Butt do in the spring game (and more!).

Is he Swedish?  I thought maybe that's why you had the inside track.  "My dad and his dad bought their Volvos from the same guy, and he said Helm was close to committing."

That's how I imagine it anyway.

I would think Mr. Helm is more of a Saab guy.

Grymt.

Two good things about that

Two good things about that top 4:

We are the closest to home.

Florida has yet to offer (and Tennessee already has a TE commit, though that might not mean anything).

Bad thing about that top 4?  Ole Miss.  They're a real X factor.

At least Texas A&M isn't in

At least Texas A&M isn't in his top four, because I think they tend to take at least 4 Tight Ends per class now.

Closest to home.

Ann Arbor is just barely closest to home (Chatham, IL) though. We have Ole Miss beat by a mere 38 miles (by car). I found this surprising, which is why I'm posting.

38 miles ? over 4/5 years can really add up haha. That is really suprising btw, makes sense if you look at a map.

I had to look

It's crazy but you guys are right. I guess it just never dawned on me.

When I think of Illinois, I think B1G States + Missouri and Kentucky. Maybe Arkansas and Tennessee.

Mississippi seems like forever away. I think another reason is because we recruit pretty well in Illinois, so it just feels closers.

“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”

Can't wait for an announcer to call

"Speight is going long over the middle... the tight end is there!  Helm's deep!"

BOOM!  Tolkien'd!

Well with the way names are going I could see this situation happening. "Helm's deep, covered by Uruk-hai."

Assuming the afforementioned WOTS is right, we look to be in great shape with one of the countries best TEs. I'd love to get him.  As long as he doesn't play basketball for us that is...

That's the same kid? He does not look 6'5" in that video. Can move well for his size though, if he is.

Definitely the same guy.

Definitely the same guy.  There was an interview with him about the shot in the related videos and the he looks just like his picture on Rivals:

Also the shot is over a year old, so there's a good chance he's grown in between the time the video was made and now.

Randy Moss summed up Ole Miss best

Straight cash, homey.

No radio. Nothing of value.

Chatham

I am from Springfield, which is 10 minutes from Chatham.  It would be incredible to have a guy from essentially my home town on the team.  If he commits, I might have to go do a scouting report when I visit my parents next.  Chatham Glenwood is somewhat of a local powerhouse.  I can't speak much to the competition level, but they are a great program.

I am become Tim Hardaway Jr.  Destroyer of Worlds
