MI high school QB class of 2010
http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewrank.asp?ra_key=2303
What are they feeding these kids these days? Three Michigan QBs in the Rivals' projected top 250 (two of 'em dual threat QBs)?
Just thought it was kind of interesting.

and we're already on their lists
December 17th, 2008 at 12:53 AM ^
Was it Bolden or Gardner we were pursuing more heavily? Just wondering, because I know it was brought up earlier at some point. Gardner is obviously the consensus Top 100 QB, but he's also obviously a tUoOS lean. At the same time, it's clear that because we got Cameron Gordon, that's likely good leverage for us for Gardner.
I don't know much about Bolden.

don't seem to realize, they offered a 2011 kid already, have tajh boyd coming in, and haven't offered DG. in fact i doubt they will as they've already promised the 2011 kid (braxton miller) that he's the starter whenever TP leaves. and you think DG's gonna go there?
December 17th, 2008 at 1:05 AM ^
Wait, Tajh Boyd is going to tUoOS? Since when?
December 17th, 2008 at 1:12 AM ^
you'll see

It's not official yet. But he's leaning. Then again, he changes the school he's committed to about once a month.
December 17th, 2008 at 1:05 AM ^
and besides, we still have nick sheridan
i hope no one forgot that
December 17th, 2008 at 1:07 AM ^
Yea I agree. I think a lot of things are playing out well for us with him. There's obviously a lot of time, but everything you said is true, and a good point.
December 17th, 2008 at 1:30 AM ^
Do you by any chance walk around in a fur coat with a top hat on and a cigar in your mouth surrounded by four women on each arm Tom? Please say yes or my long lasting image of you will be shattered therefore I will have to start blasting my music to Death Cab for a Cutie and begin to cut myself.
December 17th, 2008 at 1:32 AM ^
yea i always pictured him as a hugh hefner kinda guy
December 17th, 2008 at 12:13 PM ^
TomVH does not always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis.
Stay thirsty my friends.
December 17th, 2008 at 12:54 AM ^
Double post, oops.
December 17th, 2008 at 12:57 AM ^
According God (TomVH) Bolden is more of a pocket passer and less of a RR type guy, which is a big reason we aren't going after him as much.
This is all secondhand though, I reserve the right to be wrong.
And yes, I pray to TomVH before bed and meals. Outloud.
December 17th, 2008 at 1:03 AM ^
"Hail Tom, full of sweet, the force is with thee..."
December 18th, 2008 at 10:20 AM ^
TomVH recently shot down a plane by pointing his finger at it and saying "bang".
Before God goes to bed, he prays to TomVH.

According to the link for Devin Gardner it says he was recruited by Shafer. Will his departure make much of a difference here?
December 17th, 2008 at 4:31 PM ^
I doubt the defensive coordinator leaving in his junior year will have much of an effect on a QB.
December 17th, 2008 at 4:39 PM ^
I normally would agree. I was more surprised that Shafer was listed as the person recruiting him. Which makes me wonder if there was some other sort of connection between the two, or if a quarterback being recruited by the defensive coordinator is a normal occurrence.
December 17th, 2008 at 4:45 PM ^
It's a regional thing. That way, if there is a single school with, say, a RB recruit and an LB recruit, you don't have to send 2 coaches to recruit them, and 2 coaches to have a relationship with their coach, and so on. Shafer was assigned to that part of Michigan, from what I hear.
December 17th, 2008 at 4:52 PM ^
Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I appreciate it!
December 17th, 2008 at 5:00 PM ^
You got it. This also helps when you have coaches who have connections with a certain part of the country, such as Hopson from MS, and so on.
December 17th, 2008 at 4:29 PM ^
to recall ever a time the state of Michigan had three highly ranked qb's like these kids.
DG will look good in maize & blue.
December 17th, 2008 at 4:45 PM ^
Weren't there a few highly touted QBs in Drew Henson's class? I seem to remember that there was a kid from Marshall, MI that went to MSU (and didn't pan out) that was pretty highly regarded and someone else, but I can't remember who. I'm probably wrong; it's just what I seem to remember for some reason.
