Not so cryptic update from Tremendous re: Maurice Hurst Jr.?
We all appreciate the updates from Aqua over at his Tremendous blog, and he has an update on 2013 DL Maurice Hurst Jr. The following part sticks out:
"Anyways. Why am I posting this update? I talked with Maurice for a split second tonight, who said he plans on visiting in a couple weeks. I also talked to a current commitment and they informed me that Maurice plans to commit to Michigan when he makes that visit."

Yeah, but we're at 18, and if we think we'll take 24, that means we could take a WR, a RB a DB and three DL.
Although Hurst's dad didn't really approve of his Michigan offer, this news still calls for what should be the new "Kate Upton GIF"............
Probably true, but I betcha can't stop staring anyways.....
I have decided on the one on the left
And so ends the last source of nudity on the internet.
Yea that was the other who the decision was between....Tough one
They're kind of hypnotizing.
Let's see if any of the mods are still up.
Obligitory NSFMSRK
Time for bed... better check one more time to make sure no one OKAY WHAT THE HELL, WHO PUT THE BOOBS ON THE BLOG?
This is why we can't have nice things.
You guys need to adopt a night owl type mod that is up all night. Probably not necessary though as the board usually dies around 2 or 3.
He's got a very young one at home, so he's probably up 10 or 12 times a night. When my first arrives, we may have more trouble finding daytime mods than evening mods.
That will be intersting. Both of you who are awake because of children battling with the drunken mafia. Should make for an interesting dynamic.
If baby's first word is "noob," the wife may kill me.
"See, son? This is what we call a Troll. You know what we do to Trolls? We send them to Bolivian. Yes we do... yes we do..."
Um...holy NSFW
Glad I got to see it in the few seconds it was up.
Needs to work on pad level a lot and initial punch. Don't think he has developed great leg strength to this point, but none of those complaints are irregular for high school players. Kid is a great athlete, and if he can develope those qualities at the college level he will be a great player. His weight and what I see as "can develope more leg strength" indicate that he will easily reach 300 lbs in college.
You may remember me from such players as...
Henry Hill. Walk-on. Consensus All-American. The quickest lineman, perhaps, in Michigan football history. "Unblockable," said Bo Schembechler.
Last time I saw him he was all coked out and paranoid. Rumor is he went into witness protection.
Unfortunately he forgot the 2 most important rules: Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.
But for anybody who didn't get the joke (and for whom a cocaine arrest is not so funny)...
The quasi-fictional Henry Hill (who was based on another, real, Henry Hill):
Meanwhile OUR Henry Hill, from Detroit M.L. King, is one of the greatest figures ever in the storied history of Michigan football. Maurice Hurst Jr. could do no better than to aim to be another Henry Hill.
I apologize to anyone that hasn't seen one of the greatest movies ever made, and thought that I was literally talking about the former Michigan football player, Henry Hill.
I got it. No problem. It's really more a problem of younger fans not knowing a player from Bo's '69 and '70 teams, than them not knowing "Goodfellas."
For as many times as I've seen that movie, I didn't get it. I guess that names doesn't stick in my head for that character. It's not as memorable as, say, Don Corleone or Tony Montana.
It doesnt seem like he is too happy from his last tweet
EDIT...i misread his tweet
Says something like his dad said "It's not exactly Bama or LSU" and this pissed him off. Rightfully so. FYI for almost any of these kids you can just type their name followed by "twitter" and if they have an account it will generally come up as the first result. Sometimes the tweets can be a little tough to follow if you're not versed in the language.
Only my dad could ruin me getting a offer from Michigan.. "Well it's not exactly LSU or Alabama".. Shutup!!!! #I'm heated
Also this:
I'm doing a video design project on the Michigan Ohio State rivalry posting a link on twitter when done .. Trying my best!!!!!#hopingforanA+
You know where else isn't Alabama or LSU?
Southern University.
and guess that is where Senior went to school? If so...well played Magnus. If I missed the mark, then just ignore my post.
Considering that Papa played for the Patriots and Junior grew up thereabouts, and that there are a couple of kids who currently play for the Patriots (pretty well, I hear) who also played for Michigan (and even graduated?), I think Papa may be playing his son. With tweeting, it's all in the [missing] context.
Don't want to comment on a kid's family on the Michigan blog but... Well you all know what I'm thinking.
Seems to be a Michigan kind of guy already. I like it. I like it a lot.
And it's a damn good thing that Michigan isn't LSU or Alabama. It's one of the best schools, not just in the nation, but in the world. If you go here, and you do not get into the league, you can still get a first rate education. That being said though, having Hoke, Mattison and Montgomery being DLine coaches, you will have as good of a shot as anywhere to make it to the NFL.
We must be brothers, sounds like my dad. My first new car purchase on my own dime was a Jetta..."It's not an Audi". WTF Dad?
...the opponent D w/9 in the box, I could see him in the backfield (a la The Fridge.)
If his plan is to get into the NFL, I would want to go to a school that has a lot of guys in the league. Alabama and LSU both trump Michigan in this regard, at least currently.
Well, who has the most DL guys in the league? LSU has eight. Alabama, five. Michigan, five.
So, right now, Alabama and LSU are better choices.
The equalizer? Michigan has 3 DL coaches. (Montgomery, Mattison, & Hoke.) At least on the DL, I would want to be under those guys.
That's a strange criterion. Why should a prospect be concerned about how many DL guys made it to the NFL from the Carr, Rodriguez, or Mike Shula (Bama) years? Those coaches are long gone, and it seems like the current coaching staff would have much more to do with a prospect's NFL prospects than some eternal feature of the university (weather or academics or something).
My post was expressed poorly. There are several reasons you might want to attend LSU or Alabama.
- At LSU & Alabama, you had a better opportunity of competing for the MNC over the last ten years. (3 times for LSU, twice for Alabama.)
- At both, you had a better chance of winning the MNC. (Alabama twice, LSU twice.)
- At both, you had a better chance of playing in a BCS bowl (LSU 4 times, Alabama 3 times.)
- At both, there are significantly more players in the NFL currently than there are from Michigan.
In Michigan's favor:
- They are a team on the rise.
- They have incredible history.
- They have 3 DL coaches, increasing your odds of getting good DL coaching.
- The academics are better.
I believe that every recruit says that academics are important. But not every recruit really believes it.
