Rashan Gary No Longer Visiting BBQ

Are you telling me there's no one associated with Michigan that would be able to give him a ride without it being a recruiting violation?? That seems nuts considering it's not only the #1 player in the country, but a position of need!

The bag men have been released......

I hope that Rashan works through his recruitment and in the end decides that attending Michigan is in his best interest. I truly do. 

That said, I'm burned out on the whole recuiting thing. I find it absurd that high school students schedule television coverage for their non-binding "commitments". Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, in late August the coach, Bo in my case, would introduce the new freshmen. So my view is this: I trust Harbaugh to recruit the guys he needs regardless of stars or hype. I'm not saying that stars don't matter, because the statistics clearly say they do. But stars can't indicate the set of talents required to complete a defense or offense. So I'll just trust Harbaugh to find a mix with whom he can win the games the team needs to win.  

Send the jet to bring the NJ crew out.

(not about Gary specifically but recruits in general): When a recruit plans on visiting but follows that up with an immediate circumstance/caveat for which he might not, he's not. It's a universal rule of recruiting. Oh, you plan on visiting but you might have to mow your neighbors lawn on that day? Not coming. Etc. This is zero surprise to me.

Don't get an ulcer everytime something like this occurs, we'll see what happens.

Hopefully Gary will commit to Michigan eventually and we can all laugh at all the worrying.

Of the kids that could go they couldn't just drive them selves? Or find an Uber driver?

They have just reopened Seoul Galbi near Paramus:  http://www.yelp.com/biz/seoul-galbi-paramus?osq=Korean+Bbq

Best barbeque east of the Mississippi they say. I bet Rashan is there right now, pondering another spicey bite with mom, neither comprehending the other's words because ... Seoul barbeque.

Let the young man enjoy his supper. He'll make the decision that's correct for him. And then fart spicey smelling flames in the morning.

Harbaugh can't close. We're screwed. Cancel the season.

I feel like this is more of an overreaction than necessary.  It's going to be a battle all year for Gary, so just because he isn't coming to one event shouldn't change much.

I try to not follow recruiting too much as I find it too much of a rollercoaster. That said, I'll be bummed if Gary ends up elsewhere. Again, I don't follow too closely, but isn't his mom pro-Michigan? Weren't Malik McDowell's parents also? Didn't carry enough weight then, but it carried enough when it was time for Tyus Battle to decide to reopen his recruitment and ultimately pick Syracuse. Maddening stuff, I tells ya.  

Only one way to solve this. Bring the bbq to New Jersey, Clippers style. Is it a violation if Jay Harbaugh camps out at the Gary House until Signing Day?

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS?!

Holy moly you guys. It was already known that he had a conflict with his SAT prep class that might prevent him from coming. That in itself told me he probably wasn't coming because those things don't tend to reschedule themselves because of a recruiting event for one student. The overreaction on this board is strong with this one. It's a freakin BBQ, not like he burned his Michigan gear or cancelled his official visit. Good grief.

Who cares.....HARBAUGH

JH is going to deliver.  Whether Gary comes or not. . . 

 

This is what happens when he get snake bit over the last 8 years. . . It's a different show now.  We just need to let the scenes play out. . .
