Sean Parker Enjoys Michigan Visit

Submitted by CincyBlue on

"It was a good visit, I would call it my best visit so far," Parker said. "All the visits are similar in a lot of ways with the campus tours and meeting the academic people. This was my visit where I didn't see a football game since the season is over but we did see a basketball game for a half and that was cool.

"Overall, I loved the facilities and they have great academics at Michigan as well. It can get cold but it's not a big deal for me, it's nothing I can't overcome. I like Coach (Rich) Rodriguez and I like the opportunity to play early as well so Michigan definitely has a lot of pluses for me."

It's not that you spell one word wrong; you spell many words wrong. Moreover, your punctuation is atrocious.

Have you learned about capitalization, the period, and the apostrophe? What are they teaching high schoolers these days?

I get a kick out of reading the comments from these guys after their visits. You can tell how much these coaches are in their heads with negative recruiting. They usually mention something about the weather, probably because some coach in the SEC mentions that U of M Is actually just outside of the arctic circle, and their team hasn't been north of the mason dixon line in 100 years. Then, they mention something about "family values" as every coach tells them how warm and fuzzy they are with their players. Like Urban Meyer is going to come to their dorm room at night with a cup of cocoa and a hug to sit down and discuss why they missed that crucial block.

Take a fucking pill and get off your high horse. I can tell you one thing: Most people here (and I stress most, not all) are far more concerned with a posts substance rather than the spelling.

Smitty may make some mistakes in his spelling (which I attribute to typo's rather than the lack of knowledge as to how a word is spelled) but at least his posts add something to the board.....as opposed to clowns that only come on here to correct peoples spelling mistakes, not mentioning names......

Seriously, give the guy a break.

Read this:

"[you] know its funny, its like I work all day, than during some breaks I check rivals every once in a while, and come on mgoblog maybe post a comment. I spell 1 word wrong and I have to have somebody correct me like I am at work lol I laugh at it"

He can't spell AND can't punctuate. His posts appear to have been written by a 12-year-old.

Really, it's not that hard to spell and punctuate properly. I promise.

to be honest I like it when people don't punctuate and capitalize everything 100% correctly. as opposed to their post reading like it was written by a high-school-English-teaching-robot, it reads with more personality. for people like Brian and Tom, of course, it is more important to be grammatically correct (etc.) because their content is the official production of this website, not tag-along forum stuff.

unless every single word is spelled incorrectly and their post is GLARINGLY FOURTH GRADE-ISH OH EM GEE (not the case with the poster you're criticizing) then I don't see the problem.

Like you have no idea what I do. You have no idea I own my own business, no idea that I donated 15,000 dollars to the michigan solar car team this year. I come on this blog to talk about and read about Michigan. Not correct people to fuel my inferior complex.

Good day to you sir

Your business had $2.6 million in revenue this year with just three employees? I laugh at your meager earnings. My business did $100 million last month with ZERO employees.

But really, retard, the question was whether you graduated from high school--not whether you "own a business."

[EDIT: You edited your post to delete the reference to "your business" having made $2.6 million with just three employees.]

wow, yes I do have a high school diploma. I graduated from Sterling Heights Stevenson. I edited my post because honestly you or anyone else does not need to know my income or what I do for Michigan. I let you get to me, because you were trying to force a argument. So I posted stuff that had nothing to do with it so I took it down.

Seriously, though, I feel for these kids trying to make these decisions. Every coach they talk to is lying to them, they are taking counsel from parents who more than likely have never played college football or even been to college, their high school coach (how smart do you remember your HS football coach/ gym teacher being?) and other 17 year old kids. If you believe some of the goofs on this site, they might also be scouring blogs looking for random fans speaking poorly of them so they can check that school off of their lists, but I doubt it. Then, after they make the most important choice of their life, the coach that convinced them takes off to ND. That is tough.

Parker is probably #1 on my list of what [realistic] commits I would most like Michigan to get.

Seantrel Henderson, Latwan Anderson, Jordan Hicks, etc. are all great uncommitted players, but they're not going to come here.

Yes, Ash gave a verbal commitment to WVU, but it's just that, a verbal commitment. He took an official visit to Michigan this past weekend AFTER he committed to WVU. I would say that if he's still taking officials then he's still open.

If he really wants to leave Cali we will welcome him with open arms. The kids got game and would be a welcome sight in the secondary next year. I wonder what effect he would have on the other safeties- as we already have three verbals in this class?

(response to the post he moved, sorry)
So you are saying that you don't WANT UofM to be sleazy, but you would accept it if it meant we were better sooner. We could also get better recruits if we put players in nice houses (cough..USC...cough) or get them laid on recruiting visits (cough...LSU, Florida...cough). How do you feel about that?

STW P. Brabbs: Ash is somewhat realistic, although not probable. He committed to WVU, and Pahokee's coach preaches that kids should follow through with their commitments. But he's interested in Michigan, if only because of Smith, Hawthorne, Odoms, etc. Still, I'd say he's kind of a long shot at this point.

Maize and Blue 4 life: I don't know that Parker would have a huge effect on the other three safeties. Parker is a strong safety type, and both Marvin 'n' Carvin are free safety types. Vinopal is the only other strong safety type who's committed, and I guess I've made it pretty clear how I feel about Vinopal over the past couple days... If it changes his mind, that won't bother me too much.
