TomVH: Devin Lucien Update
I spoke with Cali WR Devin Lucien (6'1", 180 lbs, 4 Star) today, and he has set his decision date for January 30th at his high school. We talked about all the schools that are left, and Michigan is in excellent position. He says it's down to Michigan, UCLA, Kentucky, ASU, and Colorado.
A positive for Michigan here is that he and his family are not concerned so much with who the coach will be, but more so if his scholarship offer will still be honored if there is a new coach. His family sees the value of a Michigan education and what the program has to offer. Lucien will be visiting next weekend on the 7th as well.

would love to have him. looks like a solid downfield threat
December 30th, 2010 at 6:47 PM ^
Finally! Real news. Thanks Tom.
December 30th, 2010 at 6:59 PM ^
Mike Martin testing the NFL waters and Tate Forcier being ruled ineligible for the bowl game don't qualifiy as real news stories? Haha, not everything on here is worthless CC stuff, but I guess I see where you're coming from. It's tough to differentiate these days. Finally, here is some GOOD news!
December 30th, 2010 at 7:21 PM ^
I honestly don't think Mike Martin is going to declare, and the Tate ineligibility news is only significant if Denard has an injury.
Besides that, the board has been flooded with unnecessary CC posts today.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:35 PM ^
this board has been flooded with pure liquid shit for 3 weeks. Fucking unbearable.
December 30th, 2010 at 8:27 PM ^
Where have you been all season?
December 31st, 2010 at 2:55 PM ^
When you post it's like having an Ice Cold Beer after a hard day at work. Very refreshing. Thanks for the excellent content!
December 30th, 2010 at 6:48 PM ^
Nice to hear that Devin isn't concerned about the coaching situation. Hopefully by the time he considers signing, though, that won't be an issue.
December 30th, 2010 at 6:49 PM ^
I will now take two small steps away from the ledge.
December 30th, 2010 at 6:52 PM ^
There's always next year...
December 30th, 2010 at 6:50 PM ^
Thanks Tom - Fomby predicted that Lucien would pick UCLA. Do you think they are our top competitor? And do you think Devin knows that he's our #1 target right now at WR?
December 30th, 2010 at 6:53 PM ^
I wouldn't listen to that prediction.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:02 PM ^
I like this comment. It's worth a +1 and a reply.
December 30th, 2010 at 8:21 PM ^
You are the man.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:04 PM ^
Sweet! Would be awesome to grab another 4 star. Thanks Tom
December 30th, 2010 at 7:04 PM ^
He looked great in his highlight reel. Hope he goes blue!
December 30th, 2010 at 7:15 PM ^
Any ESPN Insiders know why Lucien is rated as a 74-graded 2 star?
That is so far from Scout and Rivals, I don't know what to think of it.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:17 PM ^
His senior year. I wonder how updated that ranking is. No insider knowledge though.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:19 PM ^
Insider knowledge: ESPN is worthless.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
begth to differth.
December 30th, 2010 at 11:50 PM ^
I laughed soooo hard at that comment. I am watching Lou on ESPN while I was reading this. Thanks Tom for posting this. He looks like a great recruit.
December 30th, 2010 at 8:32 PM ^
ESPN recruiting projections are a bit out of whack, but they were a bit higher on Denard than the other two services. FWIW
December 31st, 2010 at 3:04 PM ^
ESPN is dumb. Don't pay attention to them.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
I live pretty close to Devin's high school, and I drive by it all the time. Maybe I'll swing in to see his announcement. Is that weird?
December 30th, 2010 at 7:24 PM ^
Not if you bring a camera and share it with the rest of us. Wait, that'd be super weird.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
Unless you give him free tattoos.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
i go to cass tech games and sit with the former coach of many CT players (Royce, Taylor, TRich) and try my best to "be next to him" after the game when he speaks with them. i try to throw things into their conversation like... "you'd look nice in maize pants". I'd think what I do is weird.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
....I'd dare suggest that you have never had sex with a woman.
December 30th, 2010 at 8:06 PM ^
Troll
December 30th, 2010 at 8:20 PM ^
Maybe that poster is a woman. A non-lesbian woman.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:49 PM ^
before I could say something like that to a High School kid, but you keep up the good work.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:51 PM ^
This kid looks legit, and can go and get the deep ball. Would be a nice pickup. Get the Cali pipeline going while SC has limited scholarships.
December 30th, 2010 at 7:57 PM ^
then he should know everything he needs to know.Hope he goes blue!!!
December 30th, 2010 at 8:47 PM ^
Does he have some kind of ties to Joker Phillips? Just doesn't seem to fit in with the other schools.
December 31st, 2010 at 12:45 AM ^
Lucien didn't have a lot of offers early but his senior film has really caught a lot of attention.. Michigan seemed to offer him at a really good time.
Kentucky fans are confident but Lucien seems to really hold Michigan in high regard, and the caveat is he hasn't visited yet.
