So here is the podcast. Interview already happened.

A very educated kid. Wants to go somewhere where he will be prepared for med school and someplace with lots of sunshine.
Hopefully one of two is good.
Interestingly, wants to play left tackle too.
Prepared for med school and lots of sunshine?
C'mon
We have lots of sunshine for 3 months.
Sunshine???
I may be mistaken but Palo Alto is way north and is not very sunny. The Bay area is cold, dark, and gloomy. Tell that kid it is no different to Wash. Except during the summer of course.
My friend who went there
My friend who went there seems to think it's Heaven on earth. I have no knowledge myself. For our sake, I hope it rains every day of Garnett's visit.

Relatively speaking,
the Bay Area is not "cold,dark, and gloomy," when you're coming from the Seattle area. This should put things in perspective:
Seattle: 58 days of sunshine
Detroit: 75
San Francisco: 160

I Have been to the Bay Area a few times and its the farthest thing from dark and gloomy. Heaven on earth is a great example of how nice it is. Its sunny and has mild temperatures almost every day. It does get foggy and windy, but its still beautiful.
THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS
Somebody tell this kid Ann
Somebody tell this kid Ann Arbor is waaaaaaaaay more sunnier than Detroit.
Only missed one game at the Big House since 1979.
In fact it's always
Sunny in Phila... I mean Ann Arbor!

Don't confuse Palo Alto with
Don't confuse Palo Alto with San Francisco. I said this in the other thread, but SF is cooler and sometimes cloudier because of the its location at the tip of a peninsula. PA is not this way, and it far warmer and sunnier than San Fran. It's not San Diego or Maui, but Stanford has great weather.
I went to high school
at Palo Alto High. There is some rain in the winter, yes. Dark and gloomy? Not on your life.
Stanford is a really nice

Sam
Sam Webb says that while yes we do have a shot, he thinks it will be tough to get Josh to leave the West Coast.
This kid is awesome. I think
This kid is awesome. I think he would fit perfect at Michigan. This podcast just reaffirms my earlier thoughts that Garnett would be the number one guy I wanted to join this class.
Thanks for getting this,
Thanks for getting this, listening right now and that guy won't shut up on UW. He says no thought the entire interview. Seems like Stanford leads when listening to him. Loves the sunshine and school is important. Football titles are not the primary focus.
Fast forward to the 19 minute
Fast forward to the 19 minute mark unless you care about why he didn't choose Washington. Smart kid and would be a great way to finish off this class. Doesn't appear to be leaning towards any of the 3 schools at this time.
Bowl game will be a help
Need a dominant O-line showing against Va Tech. Also gotta get Magnusan up there to watch the game with him.
Announcing 2 weeks after Banner to allow Banner to get the hype he deserves too, a good guy would love to see him.
Is the sunshine thing too telling?
Or we consider our summer as sunny as what one can imagine?
Get me some Kozan please.
This announcer was all over him about not going to UW..
but Josh handled it very diplomatically, even though he probably felt like smashing that guy. Great kid. The kind of players you want to represent UM.
Sunshine?
Hey, the Detroit area has a little more sunshine than Seattle. That's something, right? Right?!?
The thing is, some of our
The thing is, some of our really sunny days are in the deep cold of winter.
go blue
Sounds like Stanford. Sounds like a great kid as well.
Really want him to pick Michigan but can't blame him if he picks Stanford based on his criteria.
Palo Alto
is not SoCal. but it definately has more sunshine than AA. if michigan gets this kid, cool. if michigan does not get this kid, then good luck and michigan will probably see him in the rose bowl.
that state south-east of Meechigan should be leveled and turned into a parking lot.
Palo Alto
Is dreary and cold year round. Lived near there.

Personally, I doubt that
Personally, I doubt that Stanford is going to stay at a high level for much longer. Once Luck leaves (likely after this season), they will probably drop off quite a bit. I don't see many Rose Bowl games in Stanford's immediate future.
We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!
Wow
I've always liked Garnett, but hearing this interview makes me want him in the winged helmet. Kid is mature beyond his years and would be a great representative to the university.
I don't follow him on Twitter and I didn't know about all the heat he was taking, but it was good to hear Michigan fans were supporting him. That's the type of publicity I want from our fanbase, not that we were bashing a kid.
Garnett is probably the best player we can add to this class right now.

This Broadcaster is worse
This Broadcaster is worse then Mike V about UW. He has got is s*&# together. I think We have a better chance then ND
BIG Blue and Proud!!!
Well, thats good
because the sun always shines on the Big House. 
the interviewer was crazy
the interviewer was crazy annoying...

Foggy and shitty year round.

The sun always shines on the Big House unless you're playing Western Michigan.

au contraire my friend
There were periods of sun inbetween the monsoon. Ruined my best pair of shorts too - ticket bled through on them.. son of a b!
ROFL - probably the only game I have been to
where I was thinking how great a cool shower was going to feel early in the game, and then by the end of the game, wishing the truck and heat was closer.
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
Actually, I recall lots of
Actually, I recall lots of sunshine on that day, as well as storms. Only time I've ever experienced extreme heat warnings and extreme thunderstorm warnings during the same game.

Central San Francisco is frequently murky and damp. But Palo Alto's climate is just about perfect. Dammit.
need to have Stefan Humphries
Need to have Stephan Humphries give that young man a call....let him know how well football and a premed program can go together.
We're gonna play with toughness, we're gonna be responsible and we're gonna play with toughness. This is Michigan.
I thought Stefan graduated
I thought Stefan graduated with an EE degree? Does anyone remember Kolisar (sp?) He graduated with a 4.0, IIRC, then pissed Bo off by passing on his last year of eligibility to go to law school.
go blue
Yeah
Looking terribly ill at ease amid the chaos was one Stefan Humphries, a varsity football player and an engineering major, with an interdisciplinary concentration in biology.
If Garnett doesn't want to short change himself in the classroom....

Too bad they stopped Inteflex Program
Back when I was an undergrad, I had several friends enrolled in the Inteflex combined undergrad/med school program at Michigan. My understanding is the program no longer exists. That would have been perfect for Garnett.
Regarding California and Palo Alto weather, it is gorgeous. The campus is beautiful, and I love the weather. There is a nice bite to the air in the Winter (think a crisp sunny October day in Ann Arbor) but it never gets too hot. The range is pretty narrow, generally between 50 and 80 year round. All things being equal, I'd gladly live in California, at least for school.

Yeah, I believe the only place in MIchigan that has that is MSU's DO school, and that's basically just a guaranteed admission, not a combined program. I'm not even certain that they still do it. That whole deal seems to be going by the wayside.
Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.
I lived in Washington for four years
I can understand the sunshine statement, although the summers were fantastic out there. He sounds like a sharp kid. I have a feeling he's going to choose Michigan.
Go Blue!
Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you. -Satchel Paige
Attended UM & UC-Berkeley
AB UM, MA UC-Berkeley.
So, yeah, Bay Area is better for climate. Standford campus -- matter of taste; rich but pretty bland. Berkeley kills it for gorgeous setting, and it may be not as hot in summer. Much better for frisbee golf.
Anyhow, to a kid from the Northwest, indeed there will be lots of sunshine. Not to mention that Stanford is an awesome University. The only downside to the Bay Area? Congestion, everywhere. Too many cars, too many people. And good luck finding affordable housing in Palo Alto.
Good luck to Garnett & hope he goes Blue despite the message about his preference.
Last week I saw a woman flayed, and you will hardly believe how much it altered her person for the worse.
He ain't coming here
Webb has been consistently saying that it will be tough to get Garnett away from the west coast, and this podcast confirms that. If we get any further OL commits it'll be Diamond or some other late addition to the OL list. If somehow we did manage to get Garnett, it would be a bigger recruiting coup than getting Dunn would have been, IMHO.

Sounds like Stanford will be hard to beat.
