strikes quickly.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
Mattison must have called up Mel Kiper to do mock drafts for what would be Kellen Jones' senior class comparing if he went to Michigan or not to Michigan.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:57 PM ^
or he has already dispatched Ray and Ed to help with his "recommitment", now that they have lots of free time. Send them to happy valley next.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
2 former miami players? i dont think they are the ones that convinced him to go to michigan!
January 18th, 2011 at 8:26 PM ^
that kid (TomVH too)
January 18th, 2011 at 10:02 PM ^
I'm with you. Kellen is the recruit I'm most excited about. Watching his stats through his senior season, it seemed like he was averaging 12 tackles, 4 for loss, with a blocked kick and a fumble recovery every game. And you could tell from the day he sang the Victors with his family in Rich Rod's office to accept the offer that he loved the University of Michigan. I can imagine big things for him - I hope I'm right.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:26 PM ^
I love it. Two great pieces of news in a day. Snowball effect maybe? Thanks Tom.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:26 PM ^
u beat mine by one second. +1 for your cat like reflex.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
Where do you people get this stuff? Great news, hopefully Kellen will be a beast ala RayRay
January 18th, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
This is full of win, kittens and heavy artillery, all you need now are explosions.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:24 PM ^
And for once we don't need any of the nuclear variety.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:58 PM ^
and all my cat can do is piss on the carpet.
GO BLUE!
January 18th, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
Mattison was a good get, and keeping Jones and his love for Michigan is another plus.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
can suck it. He's not stealing this recruit.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
maybe we will be stealing some back from him. Then he really can go suck it
January 18th, 2011 at 8:42 PM ^
I hear Chickrillo is soft on Miami! what a steal that would be!
January 18th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
Hopefully the first of many to show enthusiasm for Michigan again. Could see us closing strong with defensive recruiting, and next year just killing it in the midwest for 2012 defensively.
Guys like Wormley, Danny O'Brien, Terry Richardson, Royce Jenkins-Stone, Biggs Ross we could reload this defense real fast!! Bright times ahead.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
Some big Linebacker names who might want to be coached by the same guy who Ray Lewis loves. Awww Yeahhhhh
January 18th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
The Mattison hire is having an immediate impact! More good news to come!!!
January 18th, 2011 at 8:47 PM ^
I am so freakin excited I took a vacation day from work on FEB 2nd.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
I'm gonna be sick on February 2
January 18th, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
Just like I am every single year.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:53 PM ^
Guess I'm going to postpone jury duty after all.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
am glad to hear this news.He will make Kellen Jones a very good linebacker.GO BLUE!!!
January 18th, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
JUSTICE HAYES!!!
January 18th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
What about him?
January 18th, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
Methinks he is referring to Justice Hayes' tweet:
"Hahah!!! I told you I'd help get more commits!!! Hahah... Watch in the next few days "
January 18th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
USA!! USA!!!
January 18th, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
First of many changed attitudes. It will be interesting to see what magic this group can put together in two weeks. I am cautiously optimistic.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
Kinard is still coming next season correct? Last I heard he qualified, which would be great to get Kinard & Jones along w Demens & Fitzgerald.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:47 PM ^
No, he's going to Miami. He never qualified for Michigan regardless, it appears.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:49 PM ^
damn....thanks for the update.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
I love u tom
January 18th, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
2012 is supposed to be a huge year for recruits in ohio and the midwest... good hire
January 18th, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
Really happy we're keeping Kellen in this class. I really like this kid because I think he is a good fit at this University. I think he had the right kind of attitude, someone who wanted to be here. Additionally, looking at all his highlights, I could see him being a big performer in the future.
With all the bad news we've been receiving lately, it's nice to hear that some guys are holding firm. I'm glad we showed this kid the love.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
January 18th, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
Ray Lewis sends his regards...
January 18th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
Kellen play I'm reminded of Larry Foote. I'm not film expert, but I hope i get lucky on that one.
