Stanford Not Coming This Weekend
Josh Hemholdt is reporting that Stanford isn't coming to Ann Arbor this weekend. He says he may still make it in sometime this month. Supposedly the reason has nothing to do with Washington, so don't bother speculating that. He just couldn't make it in.... The link is behind a paywall, but for any Rivals subscribers, here it is.

Originally he and Washington were supposed to come, now neither. Oh well. hopefully they make it up later and are blown away. We still have a ton of recruits coming this weekend, time to focus on them
Rivals says it has nothing to do with Washington, but I'm not so sure. If there are two kids who I think end up playing together it is these two. Since we don't know either kids situation, I'm willing to side with them wanting to take the visit together which would help with expenses. After the way Strobel got blasted for committing to us by Ohio fans I would keep things close to the vest too.
The more quotes I read form stanford and washington the less I think they will play together in college. I think they would certainly like to, but they don't seem to be going in the same direction to make it happen.
were not that positive.
I think that we are probably fading with both of them. Not out of it, but not frontrunners either.
His comments were basically "I'm going to make it in one of the next two weeks." That's literally the only thing he said.
We have the same MGoBirthday!
Yeah but who's Devito?
I think he was referring to an earlier interview. I got the same vibe when I read the interview.
I got the vibe of a kid who genuinely doesn't know where he wants to go to school. He's doing the "I'm going to take my time and decide closer to NSD" approach. I know that doesn't fit with our current MOAR COMMITZ OM NOM NOM approach this year, but I think we need to have patience.
EDIT: Also, welcome to this here weblog thingy.
Don't listen to Blue in South Bend. He crazy. But welcome to the blog :-)
Any other university names not coming this weekend? Is Clemson coming? Vanderbilt?
George Mason isn't coming either.
William and Mary both decided to stay home as well. They are widely assumed to be a "package deal."
Washington and Lee are in East Lansing. They may swing through if there's time.
what college is that?
haha wth??
I thought Washington went to Kentucky - per TomVH's interview.
Washington and Lee is a small private college in Lexington, Virginia. Until Stanford commits, brace yourself for a lot of college name jokes. Fortunately, those never get old . . .
Just the name, Xavier, is enough for me to want hm to commit.
doh!
he is a good wide receiver and we really need one this year
I feel like I should probably add "Then again, I don't know shit" to the end of most of my posts.
In fact... new signaure line.
Not a big deal-his recruitment along with Washington's may drag out- Its probably best to get them both up there together.
Is a full 8 months away.
Since we're saying how far away in time arbitrary things are. Nobody's panicking. The original post was pretty factual and devoid of opinion. Just b/c you inferred that it was complaining about a recruiting topic doesn't mean it was.
I covet this guy and adolphus, but the board occilates between "all your recruits are belong to us!" and "available scholarship panic!"
<br> Just a reminder that even though we almost have a full class, guys will come and go and come and go. As reference, search this site for Hello: dee hart.
I find your entire post extremely ironic considering you responded to someone that literally only said that national signing day is 8 months away.
Damn
This is quite the post. Glad you shared this with us.
Finishing business with Mr. J. DIamond , he just got his 5th scout star, it's time to become a actual star & give your verbal this weekend to UM Sir Jordan ! Then help us bring in Mr. Peat.
(actually, I probably do) - I'm looking forward to getting the postmortem on the weekend's visits - we had some good ones here, and I can't wait to here how they went, especially Jordan . . .
A tad pessimistic, don't you think?
Use a different term if you want, but I am looking forward to hearing how these visits went. The Jordan Diamond visit is about as important of a visit as we will get. I can't wait to get the details, and I hope they are all good.
Of course, if the post begins "Hello", I am sure that I could let a few details slide . . .
- I agree, no need to focus on kids that aren't here. We need to spend our energy on the visitors we do have this weekend. Mister Diamond and Mister Peat now is the time to make the decision you can celebrate for your entire lifes.
I was hoping that both would come together anyway. Maybe now that will happen! We will have to wait and see!
I am not quite as positive about Washington and Stanford commiting to Michigan anymore. This is the second visit that both have called off, and Washington seemingly decided to visit Kentucky (whether or not it be for basketball) instead of Michigan. This in correlation with Stanfod not saying much as to why he decided not to come does not give me as much hope of landing them as I did even a couple days ago. I hope I am wrong.
Washington is playing in an AAU Bball tournament.
to Michigan. We'd be lucky to get them to visit. That's what it is. Both were pretty Ohio oriented until Tressel was unearthed. Mattison has been after Washington very hard from the begining of his tenure - per multiple interviews from Stanford and Washington.
Even verbals are nothing to take for granted...but they need to see it to commit to it... (Gilmore is the only guy who has commited this year without visiting - AFAIK.)
I don't want to get down on Stanford and things could change especially after he visits AA but from those comments he made in the interview the other day I didn't get the best impression of him.
He seemed to have the attitude of "you would be lucky to have me at your school" rather than "I'm lucky to have an offer from your school with this great history and tradition."
I think a visit would blow him away but that's his loss if he doesn't want to come.
Have fun w Kentucky bball- calipari's going down again- it will make Osu look like nuns.
Correction: Little Sisters of the poor, dully noted
it's a big list regardless...with some who have seen the town and others that need the full treatment. Hoping for some good news here...but even if it doesn't play out...it's good to know the coaches can devote time to kids that are there.
If Stanford and Washington are a package deal - the coaches can address that better when they are together. Admittedly this is disappointing.
I'm available for tutoring 4* wide receiver prospects from the state of Michigan that have offers from both MSU and Michigan.
Haha why do I have a weird feeling that you live in the Farmington Hills area?
If we can't get Stanford or another elite WR in the 2012 class it shouldn't be the end of the world. Clearly, 6'5-6'6" 4.4-4.5 receivers don't grow on trees, but our consolation prize would be the 2013 WRs that want to come play with Shane Morris. In the meantime, we could throw Ron Thompson a bone and let him and Funchess figure out if we have a freshman WR or not.
And "it is actually good news" -- Scout.
Can someone with a scout sub say why "it's a good thing"?
