Laremy Tunsil update (This is not a joke)
I was able to chat with Laremy Tunsil earlier this afternoon. He is currently the ranked 3rd in the country in the 2013 class and Michigan has offered him. Points of interest:
Michigan will be in his top five. What's interesting is that the rest of his five are all SEC schools. We are the only school north of Georgia that he's interested in. I feel like this oddly gives Michigan an advantage.
When asked if he'd like to play for Coach Hoke, his response was simply: HELL YEAH. He then followed by talking about how much he loved the direction the school was going in.
He feels like he has an easier time with the coaches at Michigan. He said they are the best to communicate with and the fact that Michigan has always put out top OLs is extremely attractive to him.
He "can't wait" to take his official visit, which will be as soon as he can possibly take it.
Take it for what it's worth.

Wow, him and Kalis 8)
January 17th, 2012 at 12:11 AM ^
... you have a helluva motor. Seriously, I can't take this much information. I came to check if your Garnett update was posted, and then there is this update.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:11 AM ^
Would be a great get
January 17th, 2012 at 12:13 AM ^
you're on fire. Thanks for all of the updates. Are you the ghost of Tom?
January 17th, 2012 at 12:14 AM ^
Damn dude, keep these updates coming. You're doing phenomenal work.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:14 AM ^
Brian should bring you on. These past few weeks you've filled the void Tom left.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
Hey! What about Ace? I feel like Ace has done a great job with recruiting, he just hasn't built up the reputation that Tom has.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:25 AM ^
Taking a lot of undeserved heat lately. Ace has been doing a great job.
January 17th, 2012 at 1:23 AM ^
Ace has been doing a great job of filling the void left by Tom. But it is great to have two guys who can feed our addiction. Double the info for those of us who are hopelessly addicted. AKA all of us.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:04 PM ^
How did Aquaman get a Tom-level reputation so fast?!
(with recruits...on the board, it's self-evident)
January 17th, 2012 at 12:33 AM ^
I agree for the first time since Tom left I feel up to date on exactly what is going on.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:43 AM ^
that said, ACE has been doing a great job. Been getting info out the last month real well.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:58 AM ^
It would be pretty special if MGoBlog collaborated with Tremendous and UM Hoops.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:15 AM ^
Is it Christmas? Are you Santa?
January 17th, 2012 at 12:15 AM ^
I feel the 2013 class OL is gonna be very easy to forget who steve elmer is. Better athletes and better players. Yes Please
January 17th, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
if we got Tunsil and Tuley-Tillman, we would genuintely have covered both tackles spots with prospects more highly acclaimed than Elmer.
Best of luck to Elmer, and I am sure he will do just fine, but it is kind of funny to think of him as only being third choice out of that group of prospects.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:43 AM ^
You also have Ethan Pocic out there who seems pretty high on Michigan. Anyone heard if Chris Fox is still interested in Michigan. Wasn't he the one Hoke told looked like a Michigan Man???
January 17th, 2012 at 12:48 AM ^
I talked to Ethan yesterday. He seems to be keeping his recruitment close to the vest. He does like Michigan though.
January 17th, 2012 at 1:01 AM ^
What about Chris Fox? Gotta get you to break the ice there iceman/aquaman!!!
January 17th, 2012 at 1:22 AM ^
Do you sleep?
January 17th, 2012 at 1:43 AM ^
Jesus Christ. I follow recruiting pretty closely and I haven't even heard of some of the guys you've already spoken to. Keep up the good work.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:17 AM ^
That's awesome. Is he more of a true tackle?
January 17th, 2012 at 12:17 AM ^
So exciting to see all these young stud linemen so interested in the program. Imagine Kalis, Magnuson, Bars and this class playing one year above guys in this 2013 class. It's like playing NCAA 12, unreal!
January 17th, 2012 at 12:18 AM ^
for tomorrow - else I'll have withdrawl symptoms tomorrow
January 17th, 2012 at 12:25 AM ^
how much adderall did you take tonight
January 17th, 2012 at 12:39 AM ^
Diet Mountain Dew and a supportive Miss Aqua have made this a lot easier than one might believe.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:37 AM ^
Keep up the good work and tell her thanks too.
You and Ace have re-energized these boards.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:03 PM ^
Mera, by chance?
January 17th, 2012 at 12:30 AM ^
I love having Tunsil, despite our great current O line class I don't see a real left tackle in this class. Someone needs to take over for Lewan when he's gone.
January 17th, 2012 at 1:42 AM ^
January 17th, 2012 at 1:55 AM ^
Hoke started recruiting Magnuson while still at San Diego State, the dude is for real.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:46 AM ^
It's a long time until 2013 NSD. I love how he's high on us now, but a lot can happen in a year. I don't feel safe on any recruit until their faxed letter of intent shows up on Hoke's desk.
January 17th, 2012 at 12:47 AM ^
You are really attention whoring with all these updates!
/s
Keep up the great work!
January 17th, 2012 at 12:51 AM ^
Their top 100 for next year -- wow!
Michigan is looking pretty good with around 6/8 of them!
January 17th, 2012 at 10:07 AM ^
Are you saying 6 to 8 or going with a fraction?!
If you are going fractions on us, didn't your teachers ever tell you to always reduce?!
I blame the public school system.
/s
January 17th, 2012 at 1:01 AM ^
so....is it about time we get a tremendous tab like we used to have for tom?
January 17th, 2012 at 2:32 AM ^
"HELL YEAH"!?
FUCKIN RIGHT.

January 17th, 2012 at 2:55 AM ^
behind the next two O-lines is going to be unstoppable!!
January 17th, 2012 at 3:58 AM ^
Michigan's O-line is going to be monsterous.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:48 AM ^
I am invigorated by all the recent info! For awhile there, this site didn't have much more than a lot of whining with no real info. That has completely changed around again! Ace, continue to get your footing and bring it! Aqua, geez I don't know what to say, you may be the guru to guru's! Awesome stuff, and I love your approach. You've been positive but not over the top, which means your info is credible. Great job guys! Btw: Loved the roundtable concept and the panel participants - awesome!
January 17th, 2012 at 10:12 AM ^
can i be RB in 2014 plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!?!?
