The article's paywalled, but the info stays the same. Here's the tweet.
Josh Helmholdt @JoshHelmholdt
Rivals100 LB Mike McCray of Trotwood-Madison (OH) will not be announcing on Thursday now.
EDIT: According to Bill Greene (Scout OSU), his decision is coming tomorrow or Wednesday.
Wednesday then?
Well
Don't discourage, Michigan fans. That one is locked up, it may come sooner than Thursday.
Roll Tide.
Sorry if I missed this
Sorry if I missed this earlier, and I am definitely not trying to be rude, but why do you post so much on this blog? I figured SEC fans would avoid B1G blogs like the plague (or higher education, for that matter). Sorry, had to make that joke.
Your support and insight is welcomed, don't misunderstand me. Just curious, I guess.
Because its the coolest blog

He posted a thread a while
He posted a thread a while ago explaining why he comes here.
I'm glad he's here. I met a few 'Bama fans and I found them to be a surprisingly classy and down-to-earth group, notwithstanding the stereotypes about rabid SEC fans.
Agree about 'Bama fans
I have two good friends who are lifelong fans from Alabama. They aren't alumni but both went to well known private schools in the South. They've been loyal fans their whole life and are well spoken and mature in their fandom like most Michigan Men/Women.
Was just going to post this.
Was just going to post this. His next tweet though states that he just heard some good news that will make Michigan fans happy. Said info cant be released yet. Somone committed, but not McCray.

It might have been. I glanced
It might have been. I glanced at it quickly and thought it was the same guy. Either way, I think good news is coming. Gedeon looks like the obvious choice.
THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS
Gee, wonder who that could

gedeon would be my guess

Isaac
Wiltfong has ND ties and all...they were our main competition it seemed. With RDT's comment in the other thread, this wouldn't be out of reach.
I'd Guess
I'd Guess Either Isaac or Levenberry. Probably Isaac. From the tweet it seems like it's someone they're surprised is dropping right now. Gedeon and/or McCray were both to be expected.
I doubt it is Levenberry. He
I doubt it is Levenberry. He seems like he will at least wait until the Spring Game. However, that would not surprise me too much if he did commit. He probably sees the writing on the wall with Gedeon, McCray, and O'Daniel all getting close to decisions and wants to make sure he is included in this class.

Sam Webb tweeted that it (McCray's announcement) would be tomorrow or Wednesday.
Double Post
Though I should have said he re-tweeted that info.
With all respect to my fellow MgoBoarders
Y'all need to get a different hobby. The incessant who's dropping their committment on what day, and every different tweet sending the board into new convulsions is too much. Yes, that infamous multi-commit, blitz weekend back in February was fun, but this staff has shown they have it under control...just let it happen.
I'll probably get flamed for putting this, my humble opinion, out there, but so be it. Many of you are worse than some of the high-maintenance broads I've dated.
Just sayin...everybody needs to chill.

I take your point, but it's
I take your point, but it's worth mentioning that you just took your time to admonish people for doing something that has zero effect on you personally.
I'm left wondering
Why date such high-maintenance broads?
And really, if these threads did not exist I would actually have to pay attention in my cyber law class.

If I know one thing...
...it's that women LOVE being called high-maintenance broads.

Your opinion has no value.
My comment was funnier (???)
before his was caved.
Agreed. Tried to bring his comment back from Bolivia
but he generated so much bad Karma it is going to stay hidden, and people will be left to wonder why we are discussing various sausages.
Your opinion has no value.
It sadly happens to me more than
you would think.
Are you comparing high
Are you comparing high maintenance boards to high maintenance broads? I have found one to be much easier to manage then the other.

Galileo was also chastised.
He is supposed to arrive here
He is supposed to arrive here (campus) tonight for an unofficial. A decision may drop anytime between then and Thursday, but probably closer to tomorrow.
EDIT: Also remember he decided against a press conference and wanted to commit personally to the coaches, so yeah... put the pieces together and all signs point to good news with Mike McCray in the very near future.
If he's deciding on Wednesday
If he's deciding on Wednesday or tomorrow and he's visiting today then there's about a 90 percent chance he's going blue. He wouldn't move it up to announce his decision to go another place.

Are we witnessing Hoke
Are we witnessing Hoke changing the way recuiting will be done in the future? With 13 already locked up and word that more will be dropping soon he is putting amazing pressure on borderline kids to commit now or get locked out. Which means he can then focus on long shots and even the 2014 class of all things.
Did anybody see this coming? Was Hoke known as a recruiter-savant at BG or SDSU? I dont remember hearing any buzz on him as a master recruiter before he got here and the pace he's filling up this next class is nothing short of amazing.
I dunno about changing
I dunno about changing recruiting... but he's definitely changing the tide in the rivalry...
I was driving through Ohio...
and I bought a jersey.
It'll be interesting to look
It'll be interesting to look back at this in a couple of years and analyze the strategy.
Another advantage of finishing recruiting early is that you can actually focus on coaching during the season.
On the other hand, there are some potential downsides:
1. don't get to scout kids during summer camps
2. Don't get to see how they perform/develop during their senior years
3. don't have room to potentially take advantage of coaching changes after the season

I do recall hearing on ESPN
I do recall hearing on ESPN at the time of his hire that he was known as an outstanding recruiter. How wrong they were - Hoke is a TREMENDOUS recruiter.
To be fair Hoke can't exactly
To be fair Hoke can't exactly recruit SDSU and Ball State like he can Michigan. As long as we keep this recruiting pace we will be national champs within 5 years with Mattison at D cordinator and his 5 star army.

5 years?
Try from now on, seriously, Hoke has us in position already to be in contention every year. I really believe it will happen way before then, 5 years that is.
Also, I've indicated this before but feel compelled to mention again. I wrote Brian an email in the week between RR Firing and Hoke Hiring that he was pissing me off in his dismissiveness of Hoke. I wrote that he was an awesome recruiter, great motivator and extremely well liked and people followed him but I was not very tactful w/Mr. Cook, sorry Brian but I had to do it and now everybody can see what I was so passionate about.
This feels like a lock
This feels like a lock but I wont get my hopes up too high until it is official.
