Any ideas who Rich Rod is visiting in Charlotte? Lemay and Frost for next year??

Cue the "dude, you're such a stalker" comment.
January 20th, 2010 at 5:25 PM ^
He just took a left, and went into the airport men's room.

[/Washing hands nonchalantly, awaiting 'totally unplanned chance encounter' with RichRod to ask him why he's in North Carolina...]
January 20th, 2010 at 8:47 PM ^
Are you lifelong from SB or a transplant?
January 20th, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
That is all
January 20th, 2010 at 5:40 PM ^
with the pilots who could not find Minneapolis.
January 20th, 2010 at 6:54 PM ^
One of the great rejoinders I've seen posted.
January 20th, 2010 at 5:44 PM ^
Ah, the good ole days of haloscan and flight tracking.
January 20th, 2010 at 7:19 PM ^
lurking back then. The good ole days indeed.
January 20th, 2010 at 5:53 PM ^
He might be going to give Frost an offer "in person". I guess it's not a terrible idea to start recruiting every position that wasn't filled this year.......
January 20th, 2010 at 6:08 PM ^
Did anyone else notice that Risean Broussard from Louisiana recently showed up on the UMich scout board? Any chance Rich was trying to get another DT on board? I haven't heard him mentioned anywhere else as a possibility but it looks like he is opened his recruiting back up.

Fre'shad Hunter
Alfy Hill
Robert Crisp (NC State)
Keenan Allen (Alabama)
Just an FYI.
January 20th, 2010 at 6:49 PM ^
I saw Keenan Allen play against my old high school back in September. I've never seen an individual high school player dominate a game like that. In the fourth quarter his coach gave up running their offense, lined Allen up at quarterback and told him to go. They scored on three straight possessions, and Allen came up with interceptions on both of my school's possessions.
January 20th, 2010 at 7:26 PM ^
Yeah, at whichever bowl he played in (I think it was the Army bowl, but it could have been Under Armour), a bunch of players were asked who's going to be the #1 NFL pick in a few years, and several of them mentioned Keenan Allen. By all accounts, he was destroying all comers in practices that week. He's going to be a pain in the ass for Alabama's opponents for the next 3 or 4 years.
January 20th, 2010 at 8:22 PM ^
So he'll be hurting Urban Meyer but he'll be making Nick Saban happy(inside....we think). I'm torn here.
January 20th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
Are we still recruiting these guys? Ive never heard these names really mentioned with regard to michigan. Last ditch effort?
January 20th, 2010 at 9:44 PM ^
I think Robert Crisp was the one who was most interested in Michigan, but that faded quickly. None of them were ever too serious about coming to Ann Arbor, but they were all offered.
I doubt Rodriguez is visiting them. I think it's more likely that he's visiting Christian LeMay and/or Kris Frost from Butler High School (Jamar Adams' alma mater), both Class of 2011 guys. I just figured I'd toss those other names out there, just in case.
January 20th, 2010 at 6:36 PM ^
to work on 2011
January 20th, 2010 at 8:06 PM ^
We have gotten to the stage where we can track RR? Really? Its like the CIA in the Bourne movies. Is there a control center where we can track his every move while he does spy shit to escape us?
Sorry, if I offend, but this just goes too far for me.
January 20th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
Why wouldn't you want to know where Rich Rod is heading on recruiting trips. What is the difference between checking a flight or waiting until some recruiting guru tells you?
January 20th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
Privacy. I think people, even football coaches, should be able to travel without people knowing their every move. Recruiting trip or not. (Knowing about it after the fact fact provides sufficient oversight for the use of public money.)
There is also a football reason. Say he was about to snake oil a 5 star stud from another team. They, like you, track him and get wind of it and inject the kid with anti-snake oil juice. Oh hell, that's silly. I'll just go with my first reason.
January 20th, 2010 at 10:51 PM ^
Any of these aircraft can be blocked on flight tracker. If RR was concerned about privacy you wouldn't be able to track the aircraft. I've piloted business jets before that were blocked on flight tracker because the owner didn't want the public to know where he had been.
January 26th, 2010 at 11:16 AM ^
They can't be blocked since we're a public school.
January 20th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
Grandmama.
January 20th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
Christian Lemay is down here as well (Top QB prospect for 2011) along with a number of his teammates, at least 5 of whom are division 1 prospects.
January 26th, 2010 at 10:58 AM ^
Subject line on the GBW Premium board says that RichRod dropped in on Lemay recently.
January 20th, 2010 at 11:13 PM ^
It's not Kris Frost, he's supposed to be in home with him sometime next week.
January 21st, 2010 at 6:51 AM ^
Doesn't he own some vacation property in the Carolinas? Maybe he wants to get out of the cold for a bit while he does some in homes down south.
January 21st, 2010 at 10:43 AM ^
recruiting season.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:35 AM ^
Now why on earth would the UofM charter a plane from a company in Columbus Ohio? CHASE EQUIPMENT FINANCE INC / COLUMBUS OH
Isn't that the football equivalent of paying the Taliban off to safely truck supplies to our troops in Afgahnistan?
January 21st, 2010 at 10:51 AM ^
I believe the property he owns in the Carolinas is actually in South Carolina. I could be wrong, though.
January 21st, 2010 at 11:08 AM ^
UNC commitments and NCSU commitments have been in Keenan Allen's ear for weeks and he isn't wavering.
Crisp is a package deal with his adopted brother. His brother isn't even NAIA-level talent.
Fre'Shard Hunter isn't going to qualify. Crisp and Alfy Hill have never wavered since committing, BTW.
The 2011 NC class is supposed to be exceptional. Butler High School (where Lemay and Frost play) has a number of D1 players. Unusual to be chasing those guys while this class is still going.
If you were flying charter and were going after anyone but Allen, you'd fly into Raleigh. Why is he flying charter anyway? There are 10 direct flights from Detroit to Charlotte everyday.
edit - answered my own question. Ann Arbor>New Orleans>Baton Rouge>Jax>Charlotte>Spartanburg.
He's chasing SEVERAL people.
