Rashad Knight Update

I spoke with Rashad Knight tonight, and he's down to Michigan, Ole Miss, and Rutgers.

He will be taking an official visit to Michigan on the 15th, which is this Friday. There will be a good amount of Michigan commits there, so hopefully that will help.

I really got the feeling that Michigan has some ground to make up, and that Rutgers might be leading. I think he's still pretty open, but it was just a feeling I got from the conversation.

He expressed his concern about Rich Rod's job security. He told me that will be one of his main questions going into the visit, whether or not Rich Rodriguez will be the coach after next year.

Oh yes they are. You can find Packo's chili in stores in California if you look.

For those of you unfamiliar, your job is as follows:

Go to Toledo, OH, with intent to see one of the following: One Toledo Mudhens game, One U of Toledo Rockets Football or Basketball game, OR a trip through the Toledo Zoo or the Toledo Museum of Art.

While in Toledo, visit one of the following:
Original Packo's East of the River
Packo's at the Park by 5/3rd field
Packo's Cafe off US 23

Order the following:

1/2 Order Fried Pickles and Peppers for an appetizer (for one, full order for 2)
#2 combo (or the double dog for MOAD combo if you're hungrier), with dumplings and gravy.

While there, read the signed buns.

You have addressed one of the many questions I had from that completely vague post Tom made.

Now, I have my OWN question: Tom, when you say Rich Rodriguez's "job secruity"--I didn't know Rich Rodriguez was working in security.

My question is: Security as in financial stuff? Or security as in Rodriguez is one of those meanies who puts the boot on a cute coed's car after she racks up thousands of dollars in unpaid parking tickets?

Perhaps RichRod should just put together a DVD of Tommy Amaker's years of success at Michigan and get an intro completed by David Brandon and Mary Sue Coleman welcoming new recruits to Michigan.

Rashad Knight watches that thing and he would be asking RichRod about graduate assistant potentials.

Somebody please get Rashad laid. If we closed with Baxter, Knight, and Parker (along with a couple of other SNAKE OIL surprises like Michael Taylor), I would be pretty confident this would be a huge year. I may be delusional, but I think this could be one of the bigger impact classes Michigan has had in a decade as the nucleus should be a bit more settled and could be complemented by new talent at key skill positions (WR, LB, CB/S).
