Murphy and Grimes Update (again)

Submitted by TomVH on
Clarence Murphy has committed to Maryland, according to Tony Grimes. Grimes just told me that Michigan is still in the mix for him, as well as Ole Miss, and Maryland. He said the cold will play a factor, but it's going to be cold anywhere(?). He's just going to play it day by day. So, in my opinion, this probably means bad news for Michigan. His tone and the way he was talking wasn't very positive. With Murphy choosing Maryland, everyone is kind of seeing the writing on the wall. I'm not sure what happened to change Grimes mind, but it seems like it is changing. He's playing everything close to the vest right now, so he's not telling a lot. Like I said, I don't think it's good news, though.

Maryland vs. UM for an education. sad. oh isn't about an education. Do you really what some kid to come to UM that had been saying for months that he is all UM then changes his mind. Why say all this garbage ... and be firm about it then double back. I'm proud of the kids that stay silent then commit with integrity. I always laugh about the "cold weather" issue. Obviously these kids are soft. If you want to play on Sunday, you better prepare yourself for less than perfect weather. Sorry kids ... facts are friendly.

i get the distinct feeling that we're backing off both of these guys. could be that someone like dior is coming. could be that we would rather use our last schollie on an inside backer or olineman.
