Thomas Gordon.

I think our chances are still pretty good, but from what I've read it sounds like this kid is good friends with William Campbell, and they've said they'd like to play together in college.  When he said he's jump at a Michigan offer, that was when Will Campbell was a Michigan verbal commit.  "Playing with Will" and "Playing at Michigan" are not the same, and although the latter probably holds more weight, I think the former is more important to him than we thought.  Could be a reason for his sudden lack of enthusiasm for us.  Pure speculation.

 That said, I still think we land him.  He has favored us before and he plays a position of need.  Also, if he commits here, that certainly ups our chances for getting Campbell back.

Rivals said last week that Gordon is torn between UM and MSU. I really believe that Tom Markowski was on to something when he said MSU is now a player for William Campbell. If that is, indeed, the case, than it only makes since that Gordon would be giving serious consideration to MSU. We shouldn't underestimate what Dantonio and his staff have been able to accomplish recruiting wise in this state. The high school coaches in the area love the guy.

OMG We can't even recruit with Sparty now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He'll be blue.

My guess is that Michigan doesn't have many spots left in this class and that Thomas needs to decide quickly if he is Blue or not.

 

he'll commit to us. big will isn't considering state.. and that's according to him. in an interview a little back he basically laughed at the idea of going to state. gordon will be at mich b/c if he truly wants to play with will at the next level, the only school he has a shot of that at is at michigan. and i still believe big will is going to be at michigan next year. he's opened up his recruitment but that by no means is a solid indicator of him not committing to us. he's just taking looks elsewhere and getting a couple free trips for it.
