Nuss talking to Mike Weber

Submitted by j.o.s.e maizenblue on

I dont know how much has been discussed about Weber on here, but I saw the article pop up on facebook today and thought it might cheer some of you who arent sure how to deal with the Harris decommit.

“He told me it was crazy that Michigan stopped recruiting me."

who was his primary recruiter before because if they are still on staff it doesn't bode well for the relationship between Nuss and them with this statement.

Reminds me of the Russian official leaving office and giving his successor two letters to open when he's in deep trouble.



Sure enough he's in trouble and opens the first letter. It reads blame your predecessor for everything. It works.



Later down the road he's in a scandal again and opens the second letter. It reads, Sit down and write two letters.

I know that's my point. The decision to recruit or not recruit a kid is a group decision and Nuss making that statement makes it seem like the group made a dumb decision to stop recruiting him and he has to work with the people who made that decision. Weber knows Harris decommitted and the RB spot for the class is open. Just say that.

Coach Nuss seems to be the influx of hope and good vibes and everything 2014 that we all needed. I say we recruit both rbs and even patrick if need be. Is that not how they do things at Bama and in the SEC? I say recruit them all. Love what Nuss has already done; hope he is the missing piece to solve the disjointed mess that was 2013.

Take him and Harris, if he decides to return (which I absolutely hope he does). They're both great talents and with not getting an RB in 2014, we should definitely take two in 2015.

Yeah. They'll get a good 2015 back whether it's Harris or not.



I think getting Weber plus that new guy they offered out of North Carolina would be even better than just having Harris.

Mike Weber is an amazing RB and would be a great Wolverine; I don't understand why we stopped recruiting him, even if we weren't ready to extend an offer yet (and possibly ever).  There is nothing dishonest about maintaining contact even if you are not sure if you will have enough space in a class.  He is a tremendous athlete in our own state.  That's a no-brainer.

there could be many reasons to that and i wouldnt be surprised if one of the reasons was Damien Harris. if it wasnt for the soul fact that we already had the top back for the entire class it could have been due to other reasons like the uncertainty of a coaches future, the feeling of him liking another school more, getting a good feeling from another prospect who they liked just as much or even the fact that the coaches wanted to see if he would still consider michigan if they left him alone for a little while to test his actual interest level. the world may never know

I wouldnt be mad if we went after a guy like Jacques Patrick in the '15 class. he was a kid who really seemed into michigan early and even was contacting guys from the class like harris and campbell about wanting to be on the field with them. since the time when he was originally brought up on the board and now there hasnt been much about him or his recruitment

We can take both Harris and Weber. Remember Harris said that he still thought of Michigan as # 1. I just don't see him going to Kentucky or Ohio and have a gut feeling he'll be suiting up in AA.
