Shoutout out to Homesure Lending, Matt and his team...thanks for everything you all did for the board throughout the year.

My wife just asked me what my day looks like. I told her "Lots of recruiting with some work sprinkled in". She laughed. Blessed to have a wife who gets me.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:03 AM ^
That's a shit ton of Sparties that were rejected.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:16 AM ^
Anyone receive a text alert yet? I texted into the number given, but no text alert yet. Would have thought we would have received one by now.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:21 AM ^
Devin Bush @ 8:08
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:26 AM ^
What's the text alert # ?
Asking for a friend ...no, really
February 3rd, 2016 at 10:48 AM ^
That's a thing?
February 3rd, 2016 at 12:55 PM ^
The sale on Persian rugs start ?? This is the worst infomercial I have ever seen. Tho it does have a lot of paid celebrities on it.
In other news 3 of the biggest 4 Recruiting services, Scout, Rivals, and 247 Sports have The Ohio State University with the No.1 recruiting class for 2016 and 2017.
Why is evidenced in that the best coach in football, Urban Meyer is in the WHAC today running player workouts while other less talented coaches are doing things like standing on a stage talking about how great they are, all while failing to even win their division.

Game day
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:50 AM ^
I'm doing what I've done for many recent NSDs ....reading the list of commitments tomorrow to see who signed
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:57 AM ^
Biggest upside: Nick Eubanks
Likely First Rounder: David Long
Most Polished: Ben Bredeson
Best Scheme Fit: Brandon Peters
Biggest Need: Dylan Crawford
Most Versatile: Khaleke Hudson
Biggest Impact: Michael Dwumfour
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:58 AM ^
Biggest upside: Michael Onwenu
Likely First Rounder: David Long
Most Polished: Ben Bredeson
Best Scheme Fit: Brandon Peters
Biggest Need: Devin Bush Jr.
Most Versatile: Khaleke Hudson
Biggest Impact: Dylan Crawford
I think Onwenu could turn himself into that late first - mid second round NFL draft OG. Bush is the biggest need because we have no LBs. Crawford should be a moster next year, I think he'll start in the slot with Grant Perry. I agree with the rest.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:04 AM ^
Mr. Yost, I believe Sam said on Twitter that Michael may even be looked at on the DLine. OLine seems like too big of a need, but can you imagine him at nose tackle and Gary on the line too. Holy Crap!!!
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:12 AM ^
Which makes even more sense why he'd have the biggest upside. Ability to contribute at multiple positions.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:37 AM ^
Serious question (paging WD), has anyone ever played both ways on the line? That would take some incredible conditioning.
February 3rd, 2016 at 10:24 AM ^
Didn't Orlando Pace play a bit of D-Line for that other school? Not full time, but maybe in short yardage situations I seem to remember.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:22 AM ^
Onwenu reminds me of Big Will for some reason. Insane amount of talent. I agree with his upside, and think he can put it all together.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:38 AM ^
Imagine what he could do to a car hood!
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:59 AM ^
Happy / surprised that he is that high on Dwumfour.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:04 AM ^
I think he's referring to that being the linchpin to getting Gary. So sort or indirectly impactful, or at least that's how I read it.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:13 AM ^
One of the "Steve's" just put a CB to Iowa for Alaric Jackson. Coming from him, that looks like Iowa is the most likely landing spot.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:51 AM ^
Going to be at UofM for a doctors appointment later this morning, any suggestions for the best lunch in A2?

T.K. Wu has some good quality Chinese food...I've been hooked on that place lately. Of course, since it is Signing Day, you could just go around the block from there to Scorekeepers for a three-martini lunch.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:56 AM ^
Frita Batidos
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:00 AM ^
Subs. Not even sure if AA has one, but Blimpie Subs is always the answer for "where's the best lunch?"
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:02 AM ^
Wendy's
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:04 AM ^
It's signing day and Brady is in town... Got to go to Mister Spots on state st! Guessing Tom will! Go Blue!
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:07 AM ^
Perhaps you should read the OP
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:20 AM ^
I know... Thanks though.

February 3rd, 2016 at 7:52 AM ^
I'm just going off the walls here - wishing all you the best - let's go blue !
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:52 AM ^
I'd guess that Sam is prepping for bad news wrt Gary. He still says UM but he sounds like he's already adding a ton of back doors for not getting him. He also sounds absolutely dejected. So, he knows we're not getting Gary.....OR....he's extremely tired on the busiest day/week of the year for him (lol). We'll soon find out!
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:52 AM ^
No need to bite your nails....this should be a great day to be a Michigan Wolverine!
The only bad thing that might happen is those times you get frustrated because this place will "Go Louisville", as my IT folks at work call it (due to their 502 area code).
Have fun everyone, and Go Blue!!!
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:53 AM ^
1st up is Nate Johnson @ 8:10?
I wonder what's 1st? Twitter, MGoblue texts or this thread?
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:54 AM ^
Lorenz has ballz'd Alaric to Iowa.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:02 AM ^
I think he'd still come but it's just a feeling and based on if we'd want him.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:19 AM ^
The Iowa golfer dude must be happy.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:54 AM ^
You know I really missed all of the fun of being in a bad high school relationship, the doubt, the fear, the second guessing and jealousy. I'm glad this recruiting period could bring that back for me, it's been a while.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:56 AM ^
Date with the hubby. Threw on the skinny jeans. First stop- Starbucks, Second- Ann Arbor, Hill Auditorium. (Dates are different to all people! Stop judging me!)
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:10 AM ^
Your husband has an awesome wife.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:19 AM ^
And he married her?? Bastard.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:56 AM ^
I just drove my stepson to school, he's a MSU fan because his dad went there...he said Lavert Hill picks MSU...today is a day full of good news for us...Go Blue!!!!!
