Roquan Smith Update - Jim Visited His Mom at Work
Some of the lengths these crazy coaches of other our teams will go - visiting a recruits mom at her work? Boy oh boy.
A recruiting story here on Smith - focus of story is how manly manly Richt was, but then a blurb mid story about how Harbaugh did everything Richt did.... then more.
Bigger picture it is always amusing to think the things these multi millionaire coaches have to go through to land a 17 year old's signature.
There have been several celebrity sightings this week in Macon Count. Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin was there on Tuesday, while Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh made the rounds on Thursday.
Harbaugh wants Smith so badly that he went to see Roquan’s mother at her job at Fort Valley State. “ (Harbaugh) visited her at work, and he also visited with Roquan’s aunt and uncle,” Harold said. “He did the same things as Coach Richt. He visited some people for us, and shook some hands. All three of those men coming here was a big deal to our community. It gave people something to get excited about. It gives our younger players motivation to work hard.”
Per HS coach he is headed to UCLA (again with those guys) still undecided. Sounds like he is waiting for NSD.
“The thing that surprised me is that he left tonight to go to UCLA, and he really doesn’t have his mind made up,” Harold said. “That’s what really surprised me after speaking with him.
“Once he gets back from UCLA, he’s going to talk with his family and me. We’re going to pray about it. He plans on having a decision by Tuesday night. It’s a big decision in a young man’s life. He’s going to seek the Lord for direction, and talk to his family and me.
“Next Wednesday will be an exciting day. We’re excited about having the national media come to our little community. We’ll be able to show off the hard work of our young men to the rest of the nation.”

maybe he'll tweet a pic of Roquan while he's there
January 30th, 2015 at 12:22 PM ^
hi to him. They can't keep him off campus can they?
January 30th, 2015 at 12:32 PM ^
therefore not real

You weren't hating on pleats I know, but why all the hate from others on pleats? Pleated trousers are more comfortable.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:32 PM ^
This guy does not know that though.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:37 PM ^
January 30th, 2015 at 7:02 PM ^
Those are pleated pants.
That's what happens to pleats that are stretched beyond what is humanly possible...
January 30th, 2015 at 7:15 PM ^
w/ a front-butt induced crease.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:55 PM ^
For all we know, they are making him look slimmer.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:35 PM ^
I'm sure UCLA fans are saying the same thing about JH...as well as fans of NE, WI, USC, TX, GA, OH....
January 30th, 2015 at 12:02 PM ^
I'm taking it as good news that he's genuinely undecided. That's better than what seemed like the most likely alternative, which was that he's basically sold on Georgia but wanting to look around to be sure.

I visited your Mom at work yesterday too.

I need to take tips here for when I recruit my next girlfriend. What could go wrong, sending handwritten lists of why she should be with me, stopping my her mother's job, telling her she needs a spitoon...
January 30th, 2015 at 11:58 PM ^
we all need to see film on the woman first.
Then we'll all come up with a plan.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:11 PM ^
He’s going to seek the Lord for direction, and talk to his family and me.
I hope the Lord is a Michigan fan.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:14 PM ^
January 30th, 2015 at 12:46 PM ^
God I hope those are the colors, unless he's a West Virginia or Delaware fan...

Suitable for framing?
January 30th, 2015 at 12:16 PM ^
Sadly, at least according to the Messiah, he is not. Remember, after consulting with the Lord he decommitted.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:19 PM ^
It can be a bitch sometimes.

never read the FAQ. I would have edited the post if not for your reply.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:56 PM ^
It's honestly better to just leave it up and take the hits, apologize (as you did), and make a mental note to never do it again.
January 30th, 2015 at 9:09 PM ^
politics and.. can we add religion to that. k?But no.
January 30th, 2015 at 8:56 PM ^
UNWELCOME, KTHX Politics Drew Sharp, Ace Williams, Mike Valenti. Saying stupid and/or false things about Michigan in order to get Michigan fans upset is a tried and true way to phish for clicks. Let's not feed the trolls.That's it.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:27 PM ^
No religion allowed dude.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:32 PM ^
I'm geniunely starting to disklike you
January 30th, 2015 at 3:10 PM ^
Why do bad things happen to good people?
January 30th, 2015 at 4:12 PM ^
Awwwwwwww
January 30th, 2015 at 12:17 PM ^
How can he not be? I mean...that's just the most beautiful sight in the world.

January 30th, 2015 at 12:19 PM ^
Harbaugh retweets Pontifex. I think we can safely assume the Lord will send us Roquan due to Harbaugh spreading the Good News.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:26 PM ^
Lastime I checked - he was our coach.
If that doesn't work, he'll send Jay to hide in the family's closet and speak in a deep voice:
"Verily verily I sayeth unto you - Ye shall go to Michigan"
January 30th, 2015 at 4:32 PM ^
January 30th, 2015 at 5:02 PM ^
I can assure you the Lord is a Michigan fan.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:59 PM ^
Then he's got some Buckeyes to smite.
January 30th, 2015 at 12:12 PM ^
What would you say our chance at getting Smith are at this point? I know he has been quite lately so not much coming from him.
