I think you are trying to hype up the coach but kind of making it up. What is a "Nice Guy" supposed to do -- only offer uncommitted kids? Do you think ANY coach in Division I would be a "nice guy," if he got the job when Harbaugh did?
He has 2 weeks to find recruits. He's got no choice but to ask committed kids. If any coach takes umbrage with that, they shouldn't be in Division I coaching. Rather, it's probably like, hey Harbaugh likes my kid -- I better hang on to him!
Frankly, RichRod or Hoke had to do the same thing. If you want to spin this that we have some kind of bad mofo coach now, great, go ahead and think that. But basically, it means we have a coach with a pulse, nothing more.

Titus Booker, who earlier today was offered, confirmed he is visiting Ann Arbor this weekend

Hopefully he could be a good flip candidate!

The nice thing is that both of these guys are more speed guys, unlike the Jaron Dukeses and Csont'e Yorks of the Hoke era. Hopefully that means Harbaugh is moving in a different direction. I was not a fan of Hoke's WR recruiting for the most part.
January 28th, 2015 at 8:45 PM ^
Which of the two WR offers (Burnett, Jefferson) do you like better?
January 28th, 2015 at 8:57 PM ^
I like Van Jefferson better, but I like Burnett, too. I would be satisfied if Michigan could pull either.

January 29th, 2015 at 9:37 AM ^
Whoever Michigan gets, it would be nice if they could contribute in 2015. Michigan needs some speed, and I don't know if anyone on the roster is ready to be that guy. I like(d) Drake Harris, but he's been injured for two consecutive years. I think Jefferson is better right now, a little bigger, a better route runner, etc.
Like I said, I would be happy with either one. It just might take a little longer to get a return on Burnett.

we can hope right
January 29th, 2015 at 4:33 PM ^

Reported 40 times during recruitment -
Jaron Dukes: 4.60
Csont'e York: 4.57
Deontay Burnett: 4.69
6', 150lbs, 4.69 40... doesn't seem that attractive.
January 29th, 2015 at 8:08 PM ^
I don't really care about reported 40 times. They're all lies.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:48 PM ^
Well... except that Burnetts 4.69 is from a laser timed SPARQ event.
After watching his highlights...
He's tall, has pretty good hands, and tracks the ball well.
He's NOT fast, and the 150lb weight number looks real.
January 29th, 2015 at 5:11 PM ^
Not a scout but,he seems to adjust well to the ball in the air. Nice rac as well. When he's not just out running guys he does a good job cutting back against the angle of pursuit. As a side note his QB made a couple real nice throws. Although he only ever seemed to have one target in mind. Probably can't blame him for that. would be great to get Van thou!
January 28th, 2015 at 7:11 PM ^
I seriously thought it said "Van Morrison"

We'll be hearing Glad Tidings in Ann Arbor

with a dad who is a seasoned NFL WR coach you would think he would be ready to contribute right away as a freshman with the only adjustment being level of competition

Just offered another RB, supposedly a state champion in 200M

another top 200 type kid, hopefully we can get him on campus
January 28th, 2015 at 7:38 PM ^
Watch he film. He's fast. He has the sprinter speed in the open field.

Tyrone Wheatley APPROVES this ^^^ comment.

That is a great highlight film...reminds me of Fournette's (sp?) where every damn play ends up in the end zone.
January 28th, 2015 at 7:47 PM ^

His highlights are pretty fun to watch. You can definitely see the track background when he takes one to the house - the kid leans forward in his sprint to try to break the plane of the goal line even when defenders aren't even close. Also seems like one of those backs who relishes contact and jumps back to his feet with swagger once he's finally tackled. I'm hardly an expert, but I think this kid would be a solid add for Michigan.

Unfortunately it doesn't look promising for a visit
On new offer from #GoBlue, @CDAUPHINE tells me he thanked the coaches for the offer and let them he is solid to #TexasTech. @RedRaiderSports

But you never know with Harbaugh recruiting!
January 29th, 2015 at 11:00 AM ^
That film is impressive
January 28th, 2015 at 8:25 PM ^
I love this guy's film! Runs great routes...has the size. This would be huge for us if we can get him to flip.
January 29th, 2015 at 8:01 AM ^
from Ole Miss without the pile of cash on the table, but worth a shot especially with the visit planned.
