The only ones missing are Poggi, McCray, and Reon Dawson.
So Shane wasn't first then. Close though.
Thanks for being the asshole who replies to this post so he can't update it for us again.
And all the guys above him are the early enrollees.
He was the first. The early enrolees where just listed first.
The ones before him are all players that enrolled early, so they didn't have to send anything in. Their NLI's were likely already on file. Shane's was the first NLI received thru fax
All Letters are in
Was there any doubt??
I'm anxiously awaiting Poggi's.
All expected LOI are in, now waiting for the signing day surprise :-)
who the [email protected]$? is texting me this early? Then I was like, [email protected]$! yeah!
Channing Stribling's LOI in next.
would it be possible to get the phone number for alabama's fax machine so i can send nick my NLI?
Need the number.
is in.
Where are you guys getting this stuff? Anyone got a link?
Getting it from MGoBlog of course.
Touche'
Text UMSIGN to 548-15 to receive the updates.
To 54815
Dang, David Dawson just said he knew Derrick Green was coming in November.
Believe he said that like 15 minutes after Green announced
I must have missed that.
Based on what he said this morning, he "knew" Green was Blue in November.
I thought Dawson also just said that taking visits helped take his mind off of some of the personal pain he was going through. There are some "Michigan fans" that owe him an apology.
Hurst is in!
Maurice Hurst Jr's LOI is in per Ira on WTKA.
http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/signing-day-2013.html
refresh that for LOI's as they come in
text SIGN to 54815 for text alerts from athletic department too
Is anyone else not getting any sound for that feature on mgoblue? Weird.
EDIT: Nevermind. Getting sound now.
Thanks for the link. Currently showing 11 LOIs submitted.
Smith is in too
And theres DeVeon Smith
wyatt shallman officially in
Hey OP, can you update the OP as they come in or intermittently? I know that ties you to the post a bit during the day, but that would be some fine chaos mitigation.
Sorry, walking into work now; won't be able to keep up all day. I fail at OP duties.
patrick kugler is in
But I still don't see any markers on the MGoBlue.com map on the entire South American Continent...
Headed to Bolivian?

da'mario jones is in
david dawson is in
.. Better than Christmas (or any other winter holiday)
I think he'll be a beast, glad he came back
derrick green is in!!!!!
I'm now just here for the posbang
Beautiful f*****g tits man.
Tell me about the fucking golf shoes.
delano hill is in
Oh god. You didn't hear the story?
I believe it has something to do with his actual name...like Pedro, without the 'r'.
Stefon Diggs is in!
Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Lolololololol
No idea who yet.
who can we poach from usc?
Doesn't really count as a "poach" technically, but of prior USC commits I'd sure like to pick up DE Eddie Vanderdoes.
Wilton Speight Commits!!!!
QB
Wilton Speight
So soft spoken, reminds me of Spielman....then he drops a "I like to give people shots to the face." and there goes coffee all over the monitor.
I love this kid already. This class is just outstanding.
Derrick Greens is in.
WTKA is talking to all of the recruits till 10 am, then 4-7 pm tonight. 1050 on the dial, www.wtka.com, and iheartradio app (they have their own app too, but I hear it doesn't work so well).
Probably can listen to the podcasts of the interviews if you can't listen now or missed any.
The podcasts of the interviews are starting to be posted:
WILTON SPEIGHT!!
It looks like the official board has 27 slots that they are filling up, so it doesn't look like there will be surprise commits here...unless Sypniewski isn't a scholly player
They just put him on the board..... It was on the live feed with Dave Brandon, they have a board with names on it. Added York too.
Long Smapper Scott Sypniewski is in
Snapper
I think I prefer smapper. Let's go with it.
ben gedeon is in
I literally laughed out loud at that gif
Women love Sherry's Berries.
Freebeer should cover signing day. That would be fun to hear.
Csonte York is in
I swear Sam's been going on about these berries for 5 minutes.
Dude, those berries are insane!
/wantsome
jourden lewis is in
Morning wood all day baby!
#poggiwatch
.. That his is the only one that I'm remotely worried about.
They're great, because as each one comes in I'm reminded of how great our class is.
Although when they replied back to confirm I was signed up, the text said "Your signed up..."
You're better than that mgoblue
Just noticed that...I wonder who's working the system that replies and sends them out. I'm sure its automated, but wow...
YOUR support is greatly appreciated. You're Signed up!
khalid hill is in
I'm getting the text messages as they come in (which is VERY cool BTW) and there is really only one name I'm waiting to see roll across.
Poggi.
Am I the only one a bit nervous (his pajama selection notwithstanding) about him until he makes it officially official?
As an FYI, I believe that Poggi is going to sign at a ceremony in his school around 11AM today.
Geez only 7 guys left at 8:45. Thanks for the excitement Brady. /s
only NSD surprise. The rest are just rolling in ...
WHERE IS HENRY POGGI.. HE DIDN'T SEND HIS LETTER IN YET
EVERYBODY PANIC
So as of 9:10, the LOIs we are waiting on are Poggi, Fox, Dukes, McCray, R. Dawson, and Samuelson.
jaron dukes is in
and I absolutely love the fact that he's from Columbus.
So...there isn't going to be any signing day surprises for the 2013 class? I am completely neglecting work and i want some fireworks!
I don't want fireworks!
Jaron Dukes signed.
I meant new commit fireworks like Henry, and Northfleet last year.
North? I think the fireworks this year were an East fleet. Green and Speight out of Richmond Virginia.
How are they pulling such highly rated players? They are a bottom feeder is their conference....i guess the pub of SEC is winning out
During his announcement Tunsil said he didn't expect much when visiting Ole Miss, but "saw some things..." Yea.
And tradition of course. Gotta be the only reasons am I right? Its so obvious to everyone.
So...changing gears a little bit. Ole Miss is definetely doing something very shady. You don't have a joke of a program and then reel in 3 of the top 10 players in the country. Something is not right with this situation.
Is something so anomolous as this enough to warrant a closer look by the NCAA, or at least by some sort of Miss equivalent of the freep? I understand as of now, there is only wild speculation based on the fact that there is seemingly no way they could be landing these guys legitimately.
But come on, there is no way they could be landing these guys legitimately
Maybe I'm just a traditionalist but I like my cheating to at least be somewhat of a secret
Via twitter: Samuelson on the way to the fax machine with a #goblue
Unfortunately, I can't watch ESPNU @ work.
if after you opened all of your presents you had to wait until spring to play with them. I can't wait to see these kids develop and to watch them start playing some football, even if it is just springball.
Is there a stream out there for those without access to ESPNU? I would love to see how the Worldwide Leader is analyzing our kick-ass class.
They are probably analyzing it by gushing over Alabama, Florida, LSU, and Ole Miss.
and Ole Miss is a f-ing chimney right now.
Does anyone in the NCAA even see patterns like Ole Miss? Or do they stay oblivious because they know they have no power to truly get to the root of the problem?
Saban will narc on them. Plus the other established powers of the SEC will likely be happy to see Ole Miss thrown under the bus.
That said if you're Ole Miss, it is likely worth it. You'll get 4 or 5 years in the sun and maybe even a national title before the NCAA catches to you. The NCAA will of course nuke you and you'll suck, but hey you sucked before so what did you really lose? Plus if you can build some excitement during your run, you'll get donations and the like to at least improve your facilities.
Sparty will set a lot of things on fire Tuesday
SI has a pretty cool signing day page up with current news and LOI updates. Just keep refreshing.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20130206/national-signing-day-storify/
ohio... damnit!
Chris Fox is in.
Vonn Bell to Ohio
Guess that explains the ____ ____ committed to TN picture on Twitter
How does Arizona's class look?
Dan Samuelson just sent his letter in.
Does anyone else think this kid is going to be a beast?
Yes
Yes, again.
Only 3 left....
Not sure which 3 right off hand, think its Reon Dawson, Poggi and Chris Fox
fox is in
Dawson, Poggi, and McCray, I'd imagine McCray and Dawson have some sort of ceremony at their school. I know Poggi does in about an hour.
Mike McCray is among the unsubmitted.
Ok, still 3, I forogt about McCray II
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/school/_/id/130/cl...
There actually showing them as signed.
Gotta love the fact that 4 of 6 of our early enrollees are from the state of Ohio.... I guess they wanted to get out of that state as soon as possible !!!! Thats fantastic. Anyway, enjoy signing day. Go Blue.
Ohio up to #1 class on rivals now. How in the hell can they afford to have 26 committs?? A lot of good those scholarship reductions are doing, well done on the punishment NCAA!
I presume that when their new recruits are added to Scout, they will pass us there, too. (Unless Elliott decommits...). Seriously, what a heavy hammer the NCAA has wielded against Ohio.
They can only have 82 total scholarship players. Think after today we will be at the 85 limit with out any of the normal players transferring during the summer. So basically 3 scholarships doesnt mean much at all.
It's adorable that you think they actually got punished. The lack of a bowl game last year was really the only punishment they had. This is exactly why schools cheat, the rewards are greater than the punishment.
Far greater. Bowl bans are the only real punishment.
I obviously realize that they in fact were hardly punished at all for such major violations, that's been a known fact everywhere except Columbus for some time. But what's wrong with a little rant about it on the board on a day where the lack of punishment couldn't be more obvious?
Also, "adorable"? Odd choice of word
Wow, what a riveting interview with Jordan Cunningham.
"So, I'm supposed to say where I'm going now?"
I know these are kids and they're out of their element but come on, at least be prepared.
Seems like a good kid. Mostly talked about education instead of football.
It sounds like Fox may be in.
EDIT: Chris Fox is in per Tom VH!
I cannot wait for the spectacular implosion that will be the Urban Meyer era at OSU.
Just what is it about a coach who has been a great success at every head coaching job he's had that is telling you he's going to "implode" at an already very successful program with in-state access to a large pool of football talent? Especially given the fact that the university he now works for has made it abundantly clear that they have no compunction about cheating, and know the NCAA is a pathetically toothless organization?
What time is Hoke's signing day press conference?
2pm
Am I reading this right? Stanford has only 12 commits this year?
Oh wow I didn't realize that. It seems like their name was out there for some top level players but apparently they couldn't close. Or maybe that's just how their scholly numbers worked out.
Poggi, Dawson, and McCray.
Bell is updated to ohio on scout and they are still behind us.
They probably haven't recalculated the points yet. Trieu said on the radio that Bell would put them ahead of us.
Dosent he realize that he has hundreds of Mgobloggers holding their breath?
I believe his school is having an event for him at either 11 or noon, so expect his LOI around then.
I love our recruiting class, we have a bunch of blue collar 'get-after-it' players. Even tho Ohio got its #1 or close to #1 class we will have all the pieces in place to throw down with them. We will beat Ohio. So, Ohio enjoy Von Bell, and OIe Miss can enjoy Treadwell, Tunsil, ECT. We will enjoy making ya'll bloody.
Not that it matters, but scout still has us #1.
Edit: Nvm. They've added Bell to OSU's list, but haven't put it into the formula yet.
Ezekiel Elliot has his press conference scheduled for the same time as Pinkel's. OSU guys on twitter are not confident.
If it makes you feel better on the 247composite, OSU is still #2 even with Bell and UM is still at #4.
So apparently Ole Miss has a pretty good class coming in?
That is all
I wouldn't have minded Finley and Reschke. Terry has a shot to be a player, the rest of their class is actually pretty laughably bad. Where's the threat?
Terry is already being hailed as their savior.
No. 2 safety Antonio Conner.
Well played.
They are killing it today ....Boosters must have deep pockets :/
Trying to be subjective and looking at the classes, Ohio State's OL recruiting the past two years has been atrocious. This makes me smile.
OSU has a great class and they closed well. But they're higher in the rankings because their 4 stars are in the top 100, and ours are in the 100-250 range. How meaningful of a distinction is that? Well, we'll find out. But I tend to think that our consecutive top-5ish classes are close enough that coaching will be the determining factor.
POGGI IN!
Cite? I don't see it on MGoBlue
*
I want to hear it from the Wolverine's mouth.
One person on twitter said it was in and it seems that it was premature.
Seriously? You just set yourself up.
Poggi just said it'll be in within the hour per Wolverine Nation.
LOI will be within the next hour
can breathe.
Wow could it be any more obvious at Ole Miss? They now have 4 5-stars.
Ole Miss is going to make a great ESPN 30 for 30 some day.
I can hear it now... "But the runnin' rebels couldn't run from the accusations forever."
Wright Thompson?
There is already. It is about how the whites at Ole Miss hate blacks all the time except during football season. But aside from that, what black athlete wouldn't want to go play for them?
But green.
Al Golden complaining about NCAA investigation on ESPN. Everyone knows they are dirty whether the NCAA proves it or not. They are also now in the middle of a steroid scandal as well. Sseeing how they signed 33 guys last year I have no sympathy what so ever.
I have no problem with them signing 33 guys if they had the room for them.
The fact that they were able to sign 33 guys last year and a highly rated class at that would seem to indicate that the investigation isn't the main reason there recruting sucks this year. If anything they are under less of a cloud this year then they were last year as far as future NCAA sanctions. I think Golden is using it as an excuse for his poor recruiting class.
Ole Miss will be the New USC.
Or the new SMU
Go fuck yourself.
(said in as nicely a way as possible, FWIW)
How do the Buckeyes have room for this big of a class within the scholarship limits? I know 82 isn't that much less than 85, but still, it seems like they are going to have to shove people out the door (which, of course Meyes would, but I'm just wondering).
Assuming Elliot signs with them, I believe they will be at 85. So either they know of people who are leaving, or they don't have room.
The last time there was a sudden surprising haul of 5*'s was Auburn (when Cam got paid, sorry, when Cam's dad got paid). And we all know how that turned out... wait...
No, Clemson had one a couple of years ago. IIRC, they had two 5*s commit on NLI day and had 4 overall.
What a reversal of recruiting fortures by these 2 in the last 30 days or so.
Football blue blood takes a nosedive while 3rd tier program rockets into the top group. Sanctioned powerhouse crippled while soon-to-be sanctioned school flies.
Crazy stuff.
It would be one thing if these 5-stars were from Mississippi, but pulling the #1 receiver to Ole Miss from Illinois?
No, no you got it all wrong. Michigan just wasn't showing the "love" towards LT that was needed to make him feel special inside.
Anyone have a good current website that shows who is going where? I tried the Rivals page but it doesn't appear to be updating very quickly.
Twitter will give you the most recent info. mgoblue.com has a page dedicated to this and I consider that the official word.
Let's just see how good they will be. Tressel was pretty darn good, albeit dirty as hell, but good. Meyer hasn't won a thing yet.
Except 12 out of 12 games.
No conference title, no bowl victory. In this sport, that's all that matters.
He won the division.
So like I said, he didn't win anything.
So like I said, he didn't win anything.
Then we haven't won anything in a decade
We haven't won a bowl game in a decade?
Didn't read your post close enough. But point still stands. I'm hoping Ohio falls flat as well, but you can't argue that Meyer hasn't had a fantastic start and set-up Ohio for success in the future. Throwing arbitrary bowl games as the true measure of success doesn't make much sense either.
False. Sugar Bowl.
Why the SEC dominates...
Rivals Rankings:
Three of the top five teams are SEC schools
Five of the top ten teams are SEC schools
Eight of the top fiften teams are SEC schools
Thirteen of the top thirty teams are SEC schools
Only Missouri is on the outside looking in.
By comparison the Big Ten has:
One team in the top five
Two teams in the top ten
Three teams in the top thirty.
Add Juco's, medical redshirts, and oversigning and you get SEC dominance.
or are there any last second recruits we take like Norfleet?
Mgoblue has a chart with three empty cells, and we have three players we're waiting on for LOI's, so that should be it. (Also, it doesn't seem we'd have room for any more kids.)
Misunderstood the post.
So the two NCs he won at Florida are a mirage?
I thought it was pretty obvious that I was referring to his time at OSU.
He did win 12 games last year. It's fairer to say he hasn't lost anything yet...
The point is that comparion Meyer to Tressel right now is ridiculous. Tressel won the Big Ten just about every year, and was in the title game 3 times. Meyer has one division title in a year that PSU wasn't even eligible. I'm not going to slobber all over him until I see him win something that actually matters.
And PSU wouldn't have won it anyway. I don't like them anymore than you do, but geez, Meyer couldn't have gotten off to a better start.
I'm not arguing that the start has been bad.
I get what you're saying but I think the writing on the wall is clear - Ohio is going to be very formitable under Meyer. I was hoping the end of Tressel would cause Ohio to rebuild but they haven't skipped a beat.
Poggi's is in. The Alabama fretting can finally cease.
McCray's is in too.
Off topic, but more bad publicity for ND. Hockey player arrested for assaulting a women.
http://www.wsbt.com/sports/wsbt-irish-hockey-player-arrested-for-alleged...
If Brady Hoke had Urban Meyer's on-field resumé, everybody here at MGoBlog would be slobbering all over him and you'd be one of them.
Your very obvious dislike of Meyer might be well-founded on personal terms, but your dismissal of his proven coaching abilities througout his career is whistling past the graveyard. There is nothing in his record that indicates he won't be a success at OSU, with the single exception of the circumstances surrounding his departure from Florida.
What is it specifically about Meyer that leads you to think he's going to "implode?"
If Brady Hoke had Urban's off-the-field resume, I'd become an MSU fan.
Well, that wasn't my point, was it? That's why I specifically said you had well-founded reasons to dislike Meyer for personal reasons. And we both know that Meyer's going to have to get caught banging Gene Smith's wife in order to be fired for off-the-field reasons, because the entire OSU administration from Gee on down couldn't care less how much the head football coach cheats.
You still haven't given a reason why you think Meyer is going to implode. Will it be for personal reasons, or will it be for lack of success on the field? And if it's the latter, why do you think he won't be successful? Is it because his coaching competition in the conference is better now than what Tressel had to face?
I think Urban will have a few years of success at OSU. I see it being a very short tenure ending badly. First, you have absurd expectations that are higher than anywhere else in the country, a coach who clearly has enormous problems handling stress, a coach whose former players testified that he ran the locker room so poorly there were players who refused to participate in conditioning, players faking injuries at the request of coaches, and at one point a star player physically assaulting another coach ( "The program...was out of control"). You cannot sustain success with that going on, which is probably why he's never been at one place for very long. I've just seen this story play out too many times. Big name, huge ego, tons of hype, tons of talk, but never meeting expectations.
I predict that OSU will lose two games this year mainly due to a weak front seven, and three the following year with what is shaping up to be a craptastic O-line. That's when shit will start to hit the fan.
Believe me, I hope you're right. Losing to OSU is always painful, but it's doubly worse when their coach is a cheating, sanctimonious liar.
It is a bit odd that with their great class, tOSU has very little in the way of O-linemen. Two recruits, both three stars. Given that this was an area of present weakness, I'm surprised that Urban did go all in after this position. Or is he just obsessed with skill players?
Hmm.. Big name coach, spread system, little attention to OLine. What could possibly go wrong?
One more and that will be it. No losses is huge. This is a great day.
Dawson is in. The gang's all here.
Do I leave my text alerts on in case of Norfleet 2.0?
Unless we snake oil someone or offer someone else it looks like that is it. Hooray for Hoke and staff. Let the pressed begin.
I think were done!
Continuing further:
As of right now, according to Rivals, the Big Ten has four 5-star players and 51 4-star players.
The SEC has 13 5-star players and 112 4-star players.
35 of the 55 Big Ten recruits who are ranked as either 4 or 5-star players are committed to Michigan or Ohio State.
BTW, considering that our only real recruiting rival in the Big Ten is Ohio State, with the occasional threat from Penn State, its somewhat sad we haven't won a Big Ten title since 2004.
No Kate Upton in this thread yet? I am disgusted with all of you!
yet you provide no Kate Upton, I am more disgusted with that.
Now this thread is complete! Heh.
Great class, great day. No drama. And a QB for the 2014 class to boot.
Hoke uber alles.
Ohio now number 1 class on rivals and scout. Out-recruited again. Hope our coaching puts us on top on the field. With Borges, I am a little concerned.
Urban Meyer is a great recruiter and Ohio had an undefeated season. It would be weirder if they didn't pull in a great class. Ohio will always recruit well and as long as Michigan does the same, what's the problem?
That said I will agree that seeing better offensive gameplans next year will be important.
And we're number 2 on Scout. And number 4 on 247composite (Ohio number 2). The difference is so small coaching will be the deciding factor. Unfortunately I agree with you on Borges. But we do have Mattison. Oh, and Ohio's status as current number 1 depends on Elliott.
So some recruit's mother STOLE the official signing papers from her son and fled the area. No one has been able to find her or contact her. Weird.
Alex Collins is the recruit. I can't help but wonder if his mother is related to Landon Collins' mother.
Link? Source?
It's all over ESPN and ESPNU. It's one of Bielema's recruits.
.

.
.
