Recruits visiting for WMU?
Apologies if I've missed this somewhere, but do we have a semi-complete and updated list of who's coming tomorrow? I've heard names like Greg Garmon and Amara Darboh, but I'm not sure that those were confirmed.
At some point, it'd be fun to see a list of the Notre Dame visitors, too.

Darboh is having personal issues so he won't be there.
September 2nd, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
is pregnant
September 2nd, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
Mitch McGary will be there.
Football wise, kicker/punter Kenny Allen will visit. He is a walk on candidate.
September 2nd, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
Kenny already has a prefered walk-on offer from Michigan. He's a darn good combo prospect too. At his game last night he kicked a 45 yard game winning field that would have been good from 55. His longest punt was 58 yards and he had another punt get downed at the 1.
September 2nd, 2011 at 5:38 PM ^
Did he kick those off a tee?
September 2nd, 2011 at 5:42 PM ^
No he kicks without a tee, always has.
September 2nd, 2011 at 6:13 PM ^
Kenny goes to my old High School, and had missed a 37 yard field goal earlier in the game. He was quoted as saying something along the lines of "a good kicker can get past a miss and my range is in the 50's so a 45 yarder is a chip shot if I do what I know how to."
Love to see the confidence from a high school kicker who seems to have real talent.
September 2nd, 2011 at 10:58 PM ^
Well I guess that makes two Fentonians on the blog!
Yeah he has confidence and he's a great kid and very respectful, in that interview you're talking about he credits his snapper and holder too. And he's always out on the field practicing in the offseason, he has a great work ethic.
And that first missed field goal was a chip shot that barely missed. It wasn't a shank by any means. He hits that 6 inches more inside and its a successful kick.

the most important Michigan sports recruit at this game. His commitment would elevate Michigan's basketball program to a higher level IMO.
September 2nd, 2011 at 4:37 PM ^
Isn't Garmon coming for ND as well?
September 2nd, 2011 at 4:31 PM ^
Confirmed visitors include Greg Garmon, 2013 recruit Wyatt Shallman, RJS, T Rich, J. Ross, D. Funchess, Allen Gant, and Matt Miller(2012 recruit Jack Miller's brother).
September 2nd, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
TomVH said on twitter that '13 CB Shaquille Wiggins might make it up, as well. Still working that out
September 2nd, 2011 at 4:38 PM ^
Besides Mitch McGary - F Perry Poindexter 6-6/190 Indianapolis North Central who was a U-M Elite Camper and Swingman Keita Bates-Diop 6-6/180 Normal IL (University) will also be on campus.
September 2nd, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
Is he going to the football game? Or just visiting campus the same weekend? Seems kinda weird to point out to him that we are a 'football' school as opposed to the 'basketball' schools that are recruiting him.
September 2nd, 2011 at 5:42 PM ^
its good to get him on campua regardless

A couple of well placed "MITCH MC-GAR-Y" chants could help with that. Plus, nothing beats a football Saturday in Ann Arbor, so I think Mitch will get to see what Michigan's all about.
September 2nd, 2011 at 6:44 PM ^
McGary will be at Duke next weekend and will be attending the Duke-Stanford football game at that "basketball school." This is SOP for basketball recruits visiting a school on the weekend during football season. The reverse happens during basketball season, when football recruits routinely attend basketball games on their visits.
A side note on McGary: It turns out he'll be able to take official visits to all six of his finalists because of his status as a post-graduate. He's taking three official visits to Michigan, North Carolina, and Duke in the next week before he begins his post-graduate year, so those visits count toward the five he could take during his senior year of high school. The NCAA also allows post-grads to take five more officials but not before October 15. So, if he wants to, he could also set up official visits to Kentucky, Florida, and Maryland, but those visits will have to take place no earlier than October 15. See this annarbor.com article.
September 2nd, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
Are you sure about Poindexter coming in this weekend and not on September 17? The reports I've seen, including this annarbor.com article, have the 17th as his visit date.
September 2nd, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
Lack of official thread on this is making me miss Tomvh-Justsayin
September 2nd, 2011 at 5:21 PM ^
I hear ya, but lets be patient and let Ace build up his contacts.
September 2nd, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
If you'll be at the game
September 2nd, 2011 at 6:25 PM ^
Per scout RB Greg Garmon not visiting.tomorrow and will try to make it up for the Notre Dame game.
