Ricardo Miller Moving to M for senior year?
Call me the super creepy guy, but I'm also friends with Ricardo Miller on facebook. I'm not that old though. Anyway, his status just changes to
"Ricardo Miller is movin to michigan dis summer goin to huron high school aint lookin back at florida."
Read as much or as little into this as you well, but that's what it says.

My guess is Ricardo moves from 5* to 4* by playing in MI. Good news is that we would get that ever coveted commit from the state of Michigan which is so crucial to be a player among all the big BCS schools.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:20 PM ^
Uhh...Will Campbell, BooBoo (shoulda been a 5* to Rivals, height issue blah blah), RoJo, B. Graham, and Kevin Grady would beg to differ. If he has the talent, he has the talent. The services will see him at events and camps over the summer. A 5 star to Rivals is a 6.1 while the highest 4 star is a 6.0. Not a big difference if you ask me.

It's one thing to play high school football in Michigan, while it is quite another to play high school football in our local area. To put it simply, local high school football (particularly local high school football at Huron) sucks. It will, however, be interesting to see two of our WR commits play on the same team in a situation where anyone who really wants to can come and watch.
At any rate, I could see him moving to Michigan to begin adjusting to the area, then enrolling next January, as I rather doubt that the allure of Huron High School is strong enough to make one want to switch high schools senior year.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:24 PM ^
It's debatable whether he'll start out as a 5-star anyway. I'd guess he'll be a very high 4-star, somewhere in the 35-50 range.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:27 PM ^
True. I think he'll be a lot like JT. A high ranked prospect at position with room to move up. I don't give to much thought to the overall rankings, rather the position rankings.
February 18th, 2009 at 11:14 PM ^
Half this board will meltdown if Ricardo doesn't get the 5th star, as if it really matters. Top 50 recruit who is fanatically loyal to Michigan; nothing more you can ask for.
February 18th, 2009 at 7:46 PM ^
Apparently he and Jeremy Jackson are pretty good friends, so I can understand the decision to come up here early and enroll at Huron. He'll be in Ann Arbor next year anyway, so this will likely give him more time to become acclimated to the area and also make the transition/move from Florida a little bit easier.
February 18th, 2009 at 7:47 PM ^
i hope huron has a decent quarterback
February 18th, 2009 at 8:24 PM ^
Could make any HS QB look decent. Almost.
As long as they beat Pioneer, it's all good.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:30 PM ^
Sorry. Their starting QB of the last couple years is graduating. He was, at best, competent at his position in a weak football area. So next year's QB gets to start for his first (and possibly only) year with two (supposedly) of the best WR prospects in the nation on the field.
February 18th, 2009 at 7:55 PM ^
The only reasons this could be bad in any way are that we may lose intersest from some other FL guys most specifically Hart, his progression might be altered because I don't know how good their QB is or if their coaches are good or not, and he might end up hating the clod weather.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:00 PM ^
None of these things concerns me.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:04 PM ^
Why would possibly losing our chance at a slew of FL commits not concern you?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:06 PM ^
florida was the 'cool' place to recruit in 09. all the cool dudes in 2010 are recruiting nebraska
February 18th, 2009 at 8:06 PM ^
Because I don't think Ricardo Miller moving to Michigan (IF that happened) would have a huge effect on those other recruits.
February 18th, 2009 at 7:57 PM ^
Our in-state recruiting just got better.
February 18th, 2009 at 7:58 PM ^
hell yes. two unbelievable WRs at my old HS.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:26 PM ^
River Rat University....
February 18th, 2009 at 8:46 PM ^
Wasn't Carl Tabb "unbelievable"?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:00 PM ^
Just to confirm, if he transferred to Huron, there wouldn't be any eligibility issues right? He could play right away?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:03 PM ^
I think he'd have to play at Community High for a semester.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:07 PM ^
Jeremy Jackson also attends Huron and Ricardo is going to need some place to live, unless the whole family is moving.
February 18th, 2009 at 11:24 PM ^
His whole family is moving.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:10 PM ^
Ricardo living with Jeremy Jackson wouldn't look too good considering who employs JJ's dad. I think I'd prefer that Ricardo stay in FL and recruit for MI down there. I don't really see what he gains by coming to MI this year. And since he is going to enroll early, it would basically be a transfer for one semester...just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:11 PM ^
He just wants to ?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:13 PM ^
It really isn't about what you "prefer."
Isn't this about to get to the point where we all take a deep breath and leave these kids alone?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:26 PM ^
What are you talking about? Has anyone from here actually harassed Miller? Or any other recruit?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:35 PM ^
Constantly befriending these kids and running back here every time they change their facebook status bothers me. we're talking about a kid who is at the stage where driving a motor vehicle is a new and exciting thing. just my EPINION.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:29 PM ^
Get used to playing the climate that way douches on blogs can't complain about him dropping passes?
February 19th, 2009 at 6:39 AM ^
Did you ever consider Ricardo has personal reasons for moving? Maybe his parents wanted to buy now while housing prices are at all time lows, etc?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:43 PM ^
lack of FAMILY VALUES again. What kind of asshole makes a kid move him and his family up to Michigan in order to secure his spot on the 2010 roster??
February 18th, 2009 at 8:45 PM ^
I think if he is going to move to Michigan he should get out to Inkster and persuade Gardner. hHim moving to AA is cool and all but lets get off his nuts for awhile and let his dick breathe.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:15 PM ^
you think!
February 18th, 2009 at 8:52 PM ^
muuuuuuuwahahahahahaha. If we don't pick up the top recruits in Michigan, we'll simply move our top pickups here. TAKE THAT DANTONIO, you bastard!
February 18th, 2009 at 9:37 PM ^
That's just what I was thinking too.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:52 PM ^
My brother goes to Huron and is close friends with Jeremy. He just called to tell me Ricardo is going to Huron next year. Supposedly his whole family is moving up there.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:55 PM ^
Tell your brother to tell him I said hi!!!?!
February 18th, 2009 at 9:02 PM ^
This is so cool!!
February 18th, 2009 at 10:03 PM ^
But I'm thinking RR would NOT want Ricardo to move up here.
Hasn't Ricardo become a great recruiting tool for all the talent down in Florida? A tool that never counts towards recruiting hours, etc.
Will Ricardo still be able to recruit all those Florida burners after he's moved away? Maybe so... but any chance Rich might miss that a bit
February 18th, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
he'll be a defacto student, and he'll be able to be on campus hanging out with every Florida kid when they take their official. It might hurt with the other kids that go to his school, like Wood and Hart, but its not like he probably sees the other Florida kids all that often.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:34 PM ^
Wood goes to Apopka with Jeremy Gallon, not Dr. Phillips.
And overall this could be an even better thing. Now Ricardo can call the Florida recruits and tell them firsthand what life in Ann Arbor is like, and what to expect when they visit. Different approach from face to face contact, sure, but not necessarily a bad thing.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:46 PM ^
but now that you mention it, didn't Wood used to go to Dr. Phillips?
February 19th, 2009 at 8:17 PM ^
Oops. I should read more.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:37 PM ^
He can come to every home football game now and sell the program to the official visitors. I don't see a drawback here.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:37 PM ^
Ricardo will continue to recruit FL for M. He doesn't have to physically be there. Remember Tate saying he was working on Stokes every day? He didn't need to be in PA to do it.
This is good for at least 2 reasons. One, as mentioned, he will be here during every recruiting weekend. He will be able to reruit kids from everywhere in the country that way, in person. Second, this destroys whatever miniscule chance there was of him decommitting. He's now super extra deluxe solid BLUE.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:18 PM ^
Ricardo should transfer to Inkster and start working on Devin Gardner and training with him.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:24 AM ^
He is going to Central. I actually thought he was going to go to GVSU or something. He is dating my Cousin and she goes to Calvin.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:18 PM ^
hs coach and any of the SEC coaches who were fawning all over him...just can't accept the fact him saying,*I'm Blue?*
February 18th, 2009 at 10:28 PM ^
BTW, not sure if it was said here, but this has been basically confirmed by both Rivals and Scout.
