Via DGDestroys twitter, Michigan has started to get back in to things with cornerback Yuri Wright. "Yuri Wright, says Michigan is the school he's always wanted to go to and that they'll definitely get a visit.

Since when did message board speculation become equivalent to proof?
I think we all know that message board

Seriously, I read this blog for the writing and the recruiting,
but now I'm getting to the point where I hope to see you've torn someone a new ass just as much as I want to see who we sign next. I hope you start a hockey blog somewhere or become a featured diarist on here. I love reading about your experiences and getting a better understanding of how hockey recruiting really works. I also like that you aren't afraid to just call someone out for being a moron. Just when I'm afraid the comments section on Mgoblog are turning into Mlive, you or Magnus tear it up.

I don't see t-rich leaving, but wright or reeves would be a huge commit. Still want diamond and washington as well. Pipkins would seal the deal if ross can somehow get him to come here.

I don't think T-Rich
I don't think T-Rich is going to drop Michigan; I just think that he wants to take his visits and live a little. I completely understand his perspective and the coaching staffs perspective. If T-Rich can't give a solid commit and refrain from taking officials, then the coaching staff will look out for the best interest of the institution and continue recruiting high profile CB's.

Don't get too excited about
Don't get too excited about Washington. I have a hard time believing we'll take another DE. Pipkins is as close to a lock as there is, but I agree that Wright or Reeves would be great even if T-Rich is staying on.

Getting back into things with Wright and Reeves is great. Would love to get one of those two guys

When I asked my contacts at
When I asked my contacts at the AD regarding using private planes for recruiting, they said they didn't do that.
They said the only time they flew private was when it really, really made sense, and the example they gave was the socials that Belein, Hoke, Berenson and Brandon went to on that whirlwind tour.
This wa a few years ago before the Brandon era, so things might have changed.

After
reading the interview with TRich, why can't we just not talk about him. Not that I don't want him, b/c I do! But our fretting won't change the fact that he needs to figure it out for himself. Leave him alone if he needs his process, all this attention to his level of committment seems like its bugging him.
Meanwhile...cool we're in it for another top DB!

He held a press conference, not exactly a sign that he wants to be left alone and be out of the limelight.

Fans are free speculate on
Fans are free speculate on the recruitment and commitment status of high-school players. Nobody is slandering or violating the privacy of Terry Richardson by suggesting that he might still be interested in looking at other schools.

Tom,
Do you mean you have some quotes from Yuri?
Strength and Honor
Yes, since a.) it's a thread
Yes, since a.) it's a thread about Yuri, despite the fact that it (and every) discussion we have had about CB recruits lately has devolved into a thread about T-Rich, and b) since Tom maintains that the continued CB recruiting is not a reflection of the staff's feelings about T-Rich, but rather that they want another CB. It doesn't matter if this second point is believed by the masses (it's not), but it is Tom's stance, and I doubt that has changed.
Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.
And just to add, even if
And just to add, even if something were to happen with Terry (not implying anything), it's my understanding that they would look to fill that spot with another corner. It has more to do with the current roster.
Obviously that can change, especially if the numbers don't add up, but that's the thinking right now.
Tom VanHaaren I TomVH on Twitter I U Recruit I Email
Does this mean that some current CB's might be switching
positions or are they concerned about attrition amongst the current cb's?
Where would they fit in if either one of them committed?
I thought we were only going to take 2 WRs, 2 DTs, and 1 more OL. If we got one of them, would we only take 1 WR instead? What if both of them committed?
Yep, that's Simba made out of a pineapple.
It's gunna be on a first come
It;s gunna be on a first come first serve basis. If Yuri commits before Armani, or vice versa, the other will no longer have a commitable offer. Also, the staff has said all along that they are only taking one DT. Spots left will probably go to 1 OL, 1 DT, 2 WR, and 1 CB.
'Cats comin' for y'all
I could go without a WR
For a certain player .. like Yuri Wright.

Also, it's not thread-worthy, but Hufman from Scout reported that Magnuson just picked up an offer from USC, and he's still 100% blue. Good offer for him, and he's a guy who could get some consideration for a fifth star
ITS GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE
Scout just updated their rankings
and Magnuson fell out of the top 100 to somewhere in the 130s or so, so he's pretty unlikely to get a 5th star from Scout.
the Rivals guys thnk he has a shot at a 5th star though.
There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.
He fell out?
All the reports from all the camps said he was dominating. How/Why did he drop?
