Per Ondre Pipkins, who I just spoke with, and his Twitter, Jordan Diamond is "100% not coming to Michigan".
EDIT: "his twitter" being Pipkins, not Diamond, just to be clear.
EDIT2: I am just going on what Ondre told me. I have no first hand sources with Diamond so I am only reporting what Ondre has said.
Color me not shocked.
I literally don't give a crap
I literally don't give a crap whether he goes to Michigan. Flaky kid likes the spotlight too much...

Im sure Jordan's gonna be crushed that you don't care where he goes.
talking about saving spots
talking about saving spots for big time recruits. We didn't get any, and Ohio got plenty.

What?!?
Our class is ranked between #4-7, depending on the service.... how did we not get any big names???
i was talking about the
i was talking about the signing day period. I remember during the season, people were talking about how Michigan would save spots for big time recruits like Diggs, Diamonds or some surprise. but last time i checked we got Henry and Norfleet to close out.

We suck. Only got 2 5 stars,
We suck. Only got 2 5 stars, i thought we would get at least 20 of them 5 stars. Man sucks, no big time recruits.
when you can get 5 why settle
when you can get 5 why settle for 2? go be a spartans fan. I bet they have a lower standard.

I don't want to speak for my man bluenyc
but I detected a pretty hefty dose of sarcasm in his post that I think you missed.

Yes. Has a team ever gotten
Yes. Has a team ever gotten 20 5Star players? what happened to the sarcasm meter?
At first I thought you were
At first I thought you were arguing that instead of putting all of our scholarship eggs into the Diamond/Reeves/Kozan/Wright/etc. basket we should have filled the spots with some project 3 stars instead (because it's better than nothing).... which OK I'll hear that argument.
Then you lost me when you had expectations that we should have got five 5 stars instead of two. (1) That's a pretty large thing to expect to happen. (2) Hoke & co. went after those 5 star recruits hard and just missed out. What more do you want from the coaching staff?
im just saying that why
im just saying that why settle for less when you could had more. expectation is high at Michigan, atleast i have a high expectation for them. (maybe that's just the difference between the people who go/went to Michigan and the general fans)

Ahh come on, the kid has put
Ahh come on, the kid has put off signing until today because that's the way his school does it. It gets more exposure for other kids on his team throughout the season.

I've been reading that all year with Diamond. Whatever.
Absolutely

i think diamond hasn't been ours since the summer - don't want him if he's not true blue, we have a great class w/o him.
No, that doesn't sound like
No, that doesn't sound like sour grapes at all...
For my privacy, my new username is "non-Oriental non-Andrew"
I've felt the exact same way
There was a time last summer where it seems like he was on the verge of commiting. Then something happened and made him start looking a lot more at other schools and there was at least one unofficial visit that was canceled. It also appeared the coaching staff backed off him for several months and really went after some West Coast linemen. Whatever seed of doubt he had last summer made me skeptical that he would ever commit to us.

Playing time is a really big
Playing time is a really big deal for him. It was reported that his mom was very concerned with our OL haul. This was around the same time when we heard about our lead slipping.
It makes sense to be concerned with guys like Kalis and Magnuson in this class. I just wish that he would take the competition as a challenge and welcome it.

I remember Diamond saying
I remember Diamond saying that we welcomed the competition. I didn't believe it when he said it, but I don't blame him for saying it. All these last minute recruits we "lost" out on do not really bother me. Sure it would have been great had they chose UM, but usually the ones that wait until the end are the "me first" types, not saying that is wrong, but they are the ones that are most likely to transfer, complain, give up when they can no longer control their situation. I hope we save the scholarships for some 5th year seniors and shore up our class early again with solid recruits that represent the high standards of UM.
wasn't there a QB a few years back...
from some school in PA who lived with a guardian and was ALL the rage and everyone was drooling to get this kid and he played his recruitment back and forth and left the spotlight on way too long...
and in the end thanks to cars, tats, A-hole behavior, memorablilia salesgate, and any other number of things was then relegated to the suplemental draft and above all...was picked up by the Raiders of all teams where he will simply collect a paycheck...which is likely much less than he received from that school down south that you can smell from Toledo...so when we miss out on 'must have kids' where we already picked up some great talent and MICHIGAN MEN....I really don't sweat it anymore...best to dance with the devil you do know...than one you don't

what a miserable fan base. A top 5 recruiting class and you're upset with "the way things have been going lately."
You're calling the fan base
You're calling the fan base miserable based on one dumbass post made by someone who might or might not be a Michigan fan?
Yes I got him a gift. He had a kidney stone. You piss a rock through your pecker, you deserve more than just a pat on the fucking back.

or he could be talking about the way diamonds recruiting has been going lately, or our bad luck closing out the season recruiting, and not about all the good shit that happened to U of M football this year

Not just fans either
I think Coach Hoke and the staff wanted/planned to sign 6 offensive linemen. On signing day he was still talking about adding two very large pieces to this class. If we were to miss on Garnett, Buller, Stacey and Kozan I think a lot of folks in Schembechler Hall would be disappointed about the end of the 2012 recruiting season.
That isn't to say the class is bad or a failure or even not awesome (as I said in a lower post, if Kalis/Magnuson are as good as advertised the class should be just as rad as its reputation), but just isn't quite what it coulda/shoulda/mighta been.
It is spelled HOKEAMANIA. Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!
Good luck to you Jordan.
Good luck to you Jordan. Hello Kozan?

Wouldn't be suprise
Wouldn't be suprised if Pipkins was say that just to make up for previously saying Diamond was committed, i.e. Diamond is coming, but Pipkins is helping build suspense/suprise.
Didn't he say something like
Didn't he say something like he was gonna shock the world? Maybe hes getting everybody thinking he's not coming and then boom, shocks the world and commits to Michigan.

The Kay Jewelers tweet was in
The Kay Jewelers tweet was in reference to Garnett. Sam Webb said that Garnett told Magnuson and PeeWee he was coming, hence all the tweets about being lied too.
Nope
Nope. The kay tweet was in fact for Diamond. The fact that Garnett said during his visit that he would commit was an entirely different situation. That tweet was 100% referring to Diamond.
Well then I guess Sam Webb is
Well then I guess Sam Webb is lying.
No
They are separate situations. Both happened. Garnett said what he said and the Kay Jewelers tweet was about Diamond.

My significant other thought
My significant other thought Tiffany once when we were in Vegas. We walked in and right back out. She thought wrong.
rookie mistake.
rookie mistake.
the crowds on the shore will always yell "Let's Go Blue."
So why is it that we lost 2 guys
Who were apparently committed? It's certainly not due to playing time as the competiting schools have as many if not more OL on the roster and in the recruiting class. Once again I don't get it.
Pipkins previously said that
Pipkins previously said that Garnett was committed, not Diamond. And after Garnett committed to Stanford, Pipkins tweeted out a couple of vague tweets about feeling betrayed/lied to..
