According to the twitterverse, if Kareem joins our class we go to #1 on Rivals and Scout - at least for the moment.  This would be a huge addition regardless, but that's an extra feather in the cap.

Let's hope for the best!  But remember if things don't go our way, please be civil. 

Go Blue!

Walker is very close friends with Peppers and he seems to be cool with the other New Jersey guys who've committed to Michigan, especially Ahmir. If Walker isn't coming to Michigan, he's definitely been hiding his true feelings from Ahmir. I would assume Ahmir's confidence comes from the conversations he's had with Walker.

One thing I've not seen discussed re: Walker or other recruits is from the baseball analytics world. Wins above replacement, or WAR. It seems like a high end recruit, especially at RB or QB, could have a WAR that could be estimated. Not like baseball, certainly, but just curios if other have seen attempts at calculation.

Would love to get Walker but think we needed Bush Jr. more in this class. Glad he's in the bag and hoping this one goes for the good guys. All signs point to UM, but I wouldn't be surprised if he picks FSU. I think Sam said the staff is less confident with Walker than they were for Bush.

dance a jig

eat a whole pizza

declare Harbaugh a coaching virtuoso

change expectations

and utter every superlative in the thesaurus

Nj is the diner state. there's just too many good ones to say. Let me tell you one thing that will disqualify a diner from the conversation IMO. When I order a shake if they give me the half filled tin with the already full glass that is a real diner. You can get another 1 1/2 glasses out of that. The ones that just give you the glass and not the tin? Off the list.

Awesome that we've got a thread going for the announcement of the best diner in NJ!

 

Edit: Thankfully it looks like we are now watching the announcement of Walker
