I'll admit I don't really get the fascination with making sure and then celebrating athletes getting to campus once they've signed. It's kind of like obsessively monitoring and then celebrating that the package you ordered actually came in.

It was confirmed a few weeks back, but I think the international factor and other various hurdles associated with that tend to make people worry.

never got cleared by the NCAA and stayed home. Wagner had not yet passed the test for foreign students when he signed either. He also had pro options at home, similar to some of our hockey recruits. This was definitely good news for the worrywarts among us.

The NCAA, which governs college athletics, has strict limits on how much time coaches can require players to spend on their sport. But Rodriguez’s team has routinely broken the rules since he took over in January 2008, people inside the program told the Free Press. Numerous players on the 2008 and 2009 teams said the program far exceeded limits intended to protect athletes from coaching excesses and to ensure fair competition.
“The University is satisfied that the initial media reports were greatly exaggerated if not flatly incorrect… While the University takes the violations very seriously, the actual violations are a far cry from the initial claims in the media,” read Michigan’s statement.

So is it Moritz Vog-ner? Mo Wagner sounds so... not German, lol.

It was like when I was listening to classical music radio late one night many many many moons ago and the person said "Richard Wagner" in the American way, as opposed to Rick-hard Vog-ner.
