not everyone is a liar
Sam will sell the hell out of the car dealership that sponsors his show, but I've never heard him say anything about recruiting that later proved unwarranted...Of course, you can make a good business decision and say something based in reality at the same time.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:11 PM
#1555
never heard him say anything about recruiting unwarranted
Sam scrupulously avoids BS when it comes to recruiting. He knows accuracy, honesty, and circumspection are his bread-and-butter, and that horseshit will only hurt him in the long run with future recruits and their coaches.

Wonder what kind of car he drives...or where he exercises. Curious what kind of phone he has, or where he orders flowers for his wife...
(all in good fun, more power to Sam and his success, and I'd rather hear him shill for flowers than Merlin Olsen's successor or some generic radio ad voice)

Issues like a knee blowing up
Issues like a knee blowing up early in his senior year of high school and the coaches still taking a chance on him and then realizing the kid can't play? That doesn't seem like a KID with issues if you ask me.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:55 PM

I don't remember or know if that's what happened

The kid didn't have "issues." The coaches took a flyer on him and his knee was too messed up for him to be effective at the D-1 level. Plus he gained some bad weight throughout his year of not playing. I don't think either of those are "issues."

I'll still listen to his recruiting roundup and his show because it's interesting. However, I think these kids he interviews mess with his head on purpose. Garnett totally played him all the way. The big time recruiting guru's all said that he would go to Stanford. Sam might be a little easy to trick.

Going off the different things I have read, and I am not using any paywalled info, this is a list of who I think it could be:
Latroy Pittman (Fla)
Avery Johnson (LSU)
Jody Fuller (SC)
Drae Bowles (Tenn)
I have no idea if this is who it is but this is the best list i could come up with.
Also, I would like to add that I have heard multiple times that this recruit doesn't want this getting out before he chooses between his current commitment and Michigan so if you do know (or find out) leave him alone. I think we owe any recruit that!

I'd bet a good amount of money on it. It's nobody local, Allen Trieu said on Facebook that it wasn't a name that people had alreayd mentioned, and that we'd go blue in the face trying to figure it out. And the latest rumor, is that it's a 4 star WR from an SEC school. Croom fits the bill of the type of WR this staff has been recruiting thus far.

Croom would be completely out of the blue
Looking at his profile on Scout, there are recent paywalled articles about the strength of his commitment to UT, and going all the way back to his pre-commitment days, there is literally nothing in there about UM, or any other northern school for that matter. There's no indication he's ever visited, so I'm skeptical, but as they say, you never know about recruiting...
I'd rather have Darby or another OL anyhow.

It's technically already started for me... but tomorrow (for you) will be fairly uneventful. Michigan does have one rumored surprise recruit that they are hoping to sign, but the main announcement for us will come on Friday with Jordan Diamond.
I'll still post some updates and might do a liveblog at some point. Tune in to WTKA radio for their show which will feature coach Brady Hoke himself for one hour at least! He'll be able to talk about any recruits that have sent in their LOI's.
Update: Its pretty much confirmed that Michigan has another commit, who's LOI will be faxed in early tomorrow. The story is due to break at 8am, so wake up early!!!
