Michigan offers Valdez Showers

I thought this had something to do with an oil spill.

Golden Tate.

I hope he commits, like the last name.

I can wash myself.

After Greg Brown committed, I didn't really think Showers would get an offer. Given that he could play a number of positions and seems to really like Michigan, I'd be in favor of him as long as there is enough room in the class.

His name just sets up too many nicknames. 'Valdez Showers... and I'm Glad He Does'. Or the slightly more bad ass - Valdez 'Bridal' Showers.

Man, I thought the staff was going to be selective with offers with very limited schollies this year, but it seems they're throwing out offers left and right like last year. I dunno; guess we'll just see how it plays out.

On the plus side, Showers committing here might spell the end of Mike Cox jokes.

great offer! this kid can do it all. im excited to see if he comes to ann arbor

kid definitely has some speed

I think I'm gonna call bullshit on this one....

Michigan offer a recruit yellow showers.

Or, in this case would that be maize showers?

Kids like Showers, who don't have comparable offers yet, are the type I thought we'd wait on for a bit. Showers' next best offer is Wisconsin, and I don't think that's a team we need to worry about losing kids to. He's close by, invite him to campus for a bunch of stuff to keep his interest high, but don't offer until we know how the class looks.

I guess if he's really that good though, get him now. These coaches have been pretty good thus far of knowing who to offer and who not to. I can't think of too many kids on our roster right now that I really wish we wouldn't have offered.

brings May flowers.

or bring deanthony arnett

maybe our coaches just offered to keep him from going to MSU.

i think RR is smarter than that, but id be lying if i said that thought didnt cross my mind.

im ok with this offer if it was much later in the recruiting process. at this point i think there are better prospects to offer out there.

I would imagine that the coaching staff is offering him for either safety or CB.

Does he play DB in high school or is he another C. Avery?

I played against Showers last year and will again this year. Dude is scary good. He honestly made our team look like a peewee flag football team. He defenitly has room to grow, but he has the potential to be something special.

So Magnus, what position do you think he would end up playing at Michigan?

but i havent seen a thread about it so i dont know where to ask.

Gerry Hamilton said(per twitter) that you guys offered DE Aaron Lynch. thoughts? how high is he on you guys? GHamilton said that ND still leads, do they have a too big of lead to be overtaken?

You just know Rosenberg/Snyder will misinterpret this headline and draw the wrong conclusion: "Rodriguez, finding a loophole, violates the spirit of Earth Day by offering unlimited showers to recruits."
