Signing Day OPEN Thread (part 2)
This isn't saying people can't make their own threads about big topics...
PLEASE make a new one (part 2) if this one gets to 3 pages or so...
This is simply to talk about Signing Day news (Michigan OR non-Michigan related) in a "chat form"
...some folks are at work and won't be able to keep up, so whenever there is a big committment or simple stuff you want to chat about, feel free to post!

Edit: I get it, this thread is for those abstaining from alcohol at 9am
February 1st, 2012 at 9:41 AM ^
I'm taking a shot for every LOI that comes in.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:46 AM ^
See ya in the hospital. FREEE BRACELETS!
February 1st, 2012 at 9:06 AM ^
5 pages? I don't know if I've ever had a thread go past 1 page.
/views 300 per page
February 1st, 2012 at 9:10 AM ^
1000 posts per page
February 1st, 2012 at 9:18 AM ^
oh my, I never even noticed this was an option.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:27 AM ^
only one thread that would ever make it go to a second page.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:30 AM ^
I'd love to see the topic of the longest thread in the history of the mgoboard but I have no idea how you might search the site for that.
February 1st, 2012 at 1:14 PM ^
You used to be able to put all the posts on the MGoBoard in order by number of responses.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:06 AM ^
I opened it and it was people talking about coffee on the rocks and whatnot...
Nothing against the thread, all in good fun, but I actually wanted to discuss College Football Signing Day.
I just logged on and I see Norfleet signed...WTF? Can someone bring me up to speed?
February 1st, 2012 at 9:10 AM ^
MIchigan offered him at the last minute and managed to convince him to come on down. He flipped from Cincinnati. He's the "mystery recruit" that Sam Webb talked about yesterday.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:06 AM ^
Was Dennis Norfleet(sp?) Our surprise commit. Or are the others?
February 1st, 2012 at 9:09 AM ^
I'm not sure if you're serious or not...but he was absolutely the surprise commit.
I just want to know when the news broke and how it happened? People like me have been throwing out Norfleet and Robert Gregory for weeks now, I log on and he's committed!
If someone could breakdown what's happened over the last couple hours that would be awesome.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:12 AM ^
Expect any other commits today? I'm 100% happy but everybody else & my self thought it was a wideout from down south
February 1st, 2012 at 9:10 AM ^
He was the surprise commit from last night.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:16 AM ^
So, which of these TEs do you think we will flip today from Purdue:
Ryan Watson | OG | 6'2'' | 279 | Our Lady of Good Counsel HS (MD) | OG #30 | 79 | Committed | |
Jonathan Curry | TE | 6'2'' | 223 | Central H.S. (AL) | TE #17 | 78 | Committed | |
Carlos Carvajal | TE | 6'6'' | 215 | Milford Academy (FL) | POST | 78 | Committed | |
Bilal Marshall | ATH | 6'2'' | 171 | Dade Christian H.S. (FL) | ATH #79 | 77 | Committed | |
Paul Griggs | K | 6'0'' | 190 | Charlotte Latin School (NC) | K #12 | 77 | Committed | |
Ryan Morris | TE | 6'5'' | 241 | Barnegat H.S. (NJ) | TE #48 | 76 | Committed |
February 1st, 2012 at 9:43 AM ^
Ryan Watson looks pretty solid. I dig his size.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:12 AM ^
Ohio LB Shane Jones
Ohio WR Rob Wheelwright
February 1st, 2012 at 9:14 AM ^
from Columbus,Ohio.
Edit Beatin out
February 1st, 2012 at 9:16 AM ^
When I lived in Columbus for a couple years, Ernie Wheelright was a big time player...he and a bunch of other Columbus products all ended up at Minnesota.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:16 AM ^
Chris Balas from the Michigan Rivals site just tweeted that we may get another surprise today.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:18 AM ^
Josh Helmholdt also just posted (about 10 minutes ago) on the Rivals board that the fun may not be over for today.
Come on down, DGB!

Almost sounds like he's taking a shot at the top of the front page here.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:18 AM ^
OT - Armani Reeves and JJ Denmen have officially signed.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:20 AM ^
So has Chris Muller, so it's not him, either.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:19 AM ^
I just tweeted TomVH when I saw the Balas tweet and he was very cryptic... I second the buckle up suggestion
February 1st, 2012 at 9:19 AM ^
Hey Guys...did ya hear what Chris Balas said?
Kidding.

has anyone heard if Chris Balas has said anything about a signing day surprise?
February 1st, 2012 at 9:20 AM ^
February 1st, 2012 at 9:21 AM ^
Dennis Norfleet is Darren Sproles...but stronger.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:26 AM ^
So Darren Sproles' speed mixed with Mike Martin's strength?! I will take it!
February 1st, 2012 at 9:28 AM ^
...and Jerry Rice's hands - but better.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:31 AM ^
Is there a possibility???
February 1st, 2012 at 9:34 AM ^
Does Alabama still have video coverage of the girl in the miniskirt picking up LOI faxes?
I don't like Alabama, but I do like that concept.
February 1st, 2012 at 10:10 AM ^
They know their fans...
February 1st, 2012 at 9:40 AM ^
Random guesses for signing day surprise/flip:
Jason Spriggs - 3* current Indiana commit, 6'6" 256 lb. TE, no other B1G offers pre signing day
Ryan Morris - 3* current Purdue commit (see above), offers from S. Carolina and Illinois also, 6'6" 248 lbs.
James White - 3* CB, current BGSU commit from Detroit, 6'1" 175 lb., interest from Iowa but no B1G offers as yet
February 1st, 2012 at 9:43 AM ^
Morris has already sent in his LOI.
February 1st, 2012 at 9:47 AM ^
If you were Purdue, you'd make all your recruits send in their LOI's at 12:00:01 AM.
