Michigan In Top 3 for Leon McQuay III
Per 247 Sports, Michigan is in Leon McQuay's Top 3 along with USC and...Vanderbilt??
A very interesting list to say the least and there is a long way to go before his stated decision date of Nov. 21, but hopefully Michigan continues to make a strong push. It's also worth mentioning that many believed he was going to stay in Florida for a long time, but it seems the longer it goes, the more the out of state schools are getting looks.
Jack Kennedy drop the beat.

Tahaan Goodman is another defensive back that USC is almost certainly in the lead for.
Who also happens to go to the same school as Chris Hawkins
Exactly, and McQuay waiting until November certainly helps our chances there. If he wanted to commit to USC today, they might take him. But I bet if Cravens commits, SC has room for one more DB, and that either might not be available come November or he just won't be the top guy for their last spot.
I'm not so sure we get him. As aquaman just said he has a friend at Vandy and he wants to study to produce music. Nashville and L.A. are a little bit more in the music scene then A2.
David Cone hates you.
But you can study anywhere. I studied film at UM and it just meant I had to move to LA once I graduated. I'd say music is even much more universal than film in that regard.
Did you have the chance to study film at a prestigious institution in LA? I consider myself a pretty large music fan and if I were inclined to be skilled at producing music I think given the opportunity I would like to study music in a richly diverse musical setting. That's not saying you can shake too many fists at Detriot though and it isn't too far.
No, he studied film at a prestigious institution in Ann Arbor. You can study politics really well without being in DC (like at Michigan). You can study finance really well without being on Wall Street (like at Michigan). You can learn to be a Broadway star without being on Broadway (like at Michigan). Same goes for music and film.
You can also study music in two of the biggest music cities in the world. My only point is it's something to consider and everyone says i "flambait"??
Yes, you can study in the two biggest cities in the world. The point we're trying to make is that you don't have to be in the biggest cities in the world to study music, especially if a world class institution in the midwest happens to have a state of the art music studio and nationally renound music school. You don't have to be where the industry is to study it.
Both Bob Seger and Blackfoot hate you as well!
Uh...Ted Nugent? /s
He could major in music theory, minor in business. Seems like a winning combination.
The business school lets people minor now? That's new in the last 5 years. Are you sure about that...???
I have no idea, just assumed. I was LSA/Geological Sciences which apparently no longer exists.
No, you cannot. He could double major in an LSA department though, like econ.
If it's' still around, and I think it is, a general studies degree, where you essentially design your own major would be a great opportunity. One could take classes on north campus for music and audio engin, lsa at central campus, and b.a. classes as well. And, if on track to graduate in four years, and reshirts his first, you could get a fifth year in as a grad student. I suspect this would also allow a player to take the harder classes outside of football season.
But Michigan does have Detroit for Music.
I thought I heard or read something about him being recruited as a CB. Can anyone recall this being this being said. A 6-2 CB would be great in this class because we seem to be lacking height at CB in the last two classes.
The coaches told him he could play CB for us if he wanted. That is per Rivals.
Also per Rivals that the coaches offered him #2 if he came to play ball at Michigan.
Also per Rivals they haven't been able to get an interview with the family - so this info is coming from inside the Fort.
Did they really offer him #2, or was it more like "You would have every opportunity to wear Charles Woodson's famous #2, possibly with a patch"?
That was my understanding, that he could potentially get the #2 jersey.
I don't know about offering him the #2 right away. Countess would be a senior and should have a shot at it.
I'm very skeptical that the staff would offer him more than a chance to earn the #2 jersey. That way they can make the same offer to Fuller and future recruits. I'm expecting to see Countess wear #2 McQuay's first two seasons.
We're in on so many top flight players, and yet have so few spots left.

Encouraging sign, USC leads for Tahaan Goodman and are in the top-two (with Oregon) for Max Redfield. Those are two of the best safeties in the nation. They have Cravens too, but I'm pretty sure he is coming in at LB. They're also in good shape with Priest Willis, he is a CB/S. Could easily turn into a head-to-head with Vandy.
Edit: Mentioned above, but also note that Michigan is the only school in the top-three of both McQuay and Alvin Bailey. Bailey has a top-three of us along with FSU and Central Florida. McQuay and Bailey are teammates at Armwood. Both of them on campus at the same time for an official could be great.
This kid has a 4.2 GPA! That's higher than most regular students that get into Michigan
Michigan,usc,and vandy.Guys we have more than just a shot here. Right now we are the leader for sure. IF he visits again before the season we will be on commit watch! The BIG thing for L3 is the chance to wear Charles Woodson's number 2 jersey.
JACK KENNEDY DROP THE BEAT.
Hey I say that!
I don't see them on here yet so here are McQuay's beats, which happen to be crispy. He's not just saying that he wants to go into music, it seems like he has some actual talent.
I was expecting him to be good, but he does have some actual talent when it comes to producing.
Anyone know if his father played football?
Don't count out ND, he is visiting them this month... and recruits seem to really love brian kelly land
He can't go to USC if they run out of slots. Sanctions#

Just looked at McQuay's Rivals page. It appears he comes from the Greg Oden school of looking 50: http://rivals.yahoo.com/michigan/football/recruiting/player-Leon-McQuay%20III-100111
For his sake, hopefully his body does not breakdown on him like he is 50.
Being from Nashville and living here in Nashville, Vandy is not the spot for musicians. Belmont University is where all the musicians and aspiring musicians attend, so with that being said, I LIKE OUR CHANCES!! GO BLUE!!
In the even he goes our way, there's really only one thing that can be said: that shit quay.

My Birthday is tommorow the 5th so if not today on your birthday maybe mine would be a great present to me and the fan base. lol Im not greedy!
Just listened to his tracks on SoundCloud. This kis has got skillz. We really need to get him in the secondary, make him earn the #2, and have him develop some of our theme music. For starters replace Sweer Caroline and White Stripes being beaten to death.
My prediction based on flimsy evidence, we get him in November.
That shit Quay
