May be in order. And they could be going head to head. Best of luck to Josh, though. I wouldn't want to be on Peewee's bad side.

make between Michigan and Stanford, and academics were his primary decision criteria.  Every time we compare favorably with an elite academic insitution like Stanford is fine with me.

 I lived in Washington for many years, kids there grow up hoping to go to University of Washington, Berkeley, or Stanford.  I am thrilled that Hoke & Co. --  together with our school's amazing academic reputation--  made it a very close call for a stellar recruit from the Northwest.  Good luck, Josh.

Your opinion has no value.

Garnett is obviously a good kid with a bright future. But he definitely did play coy a little too much. I can understand why certain folks at Michigan maybe feel led on. But there's no crying in football. So let's just kick Stanford's ass next time.

Don't count on that. Stanford will not be in the RB any time soon. They were at the top of the hill they climb every couple decades. USC is back, Oregon is a powerhouse, Washington is rising. PAC12 is going to be strong.

Stanford won't be going to the Rose Bowl anytime soon.  With the emergence of USC from hell and Chip Kelly staying at Oregon, those two teams will pretty much own the Pac 12 in my opinion.

He was either legitimately undecided last night OR he lied about the standings (because if we knew there would be noone watching him be all center-of-attention on espn). The need to have an official espn announcement date vs him having to push the date back because he's undecided makes me want to say that he knew ahead of time and didn't want to lose all the attention. Unfortunately, we'll never know the truth behind this. This situation, however, does bring up serious questions about the kids character.

A) I haven't done a single bit of recruit stalking short of checking out the occasional message that gets posted here.

B) Pointing out that there is a large chance the kid was doing this for attention and that this could bring his character into question is not the same thing as wishing a torn acl on someone. Furthermore, if you thought there was a good chance that someone you knew was lying to you over something petty, well wouldn't you question their character?

C) It turns out he did lie.... so..... just wanted to point that out to ya.

Let me ask you something. Have you ever farted and then denied it was you? Have you ever told a telemarketer that you weren't home? Have you told someone carrying a petition that you didn't have time when you could have spared a few minutes?

By your standard, a "yes" to any of these questions would seem to make you a liar for life.

Only mature thing to do here is wish the kid good luck and move on.  Remember the kid is 17-18 years old and has a twin sister who will be near him.  Family comes first.  Good for Garnett that he decided to be around his sister.  Good luck Joshua, hopefully we'll see you in Pasedena.

I think people should go through a couple of recruiting seasons before being allowed to post on mgoblog.  This isn't the first time a recruit went somewhere else, it won't be the last.

I can't imagine ever faulting a kid for going to Stanford.

I might deserve that, but since I've already been accused, I'll make a broader point.

I think a couple of years ago, there were a few different places to go to read and chat about Michigan sports. That structure served the purpose of letting people sort themselves into the online community that best fit them and the writer who most impressed them. Now, Brian and co. have done such a great job around here that this is where virtually everyone goes for Michigan sports. In a lot of ways, that's great. The downside is that the distinction between MGoBlog and, say, Mlive, as an online community has blurred.

That might be arrogant, and if it offends I'm sorry, but it has been a noticeable, depressing trend to me.
