TomVH, does LB Curtis Grant have Michigan as his leader?
Note: Title changed from "TomVH, Does LB Curtis Grant has Michigan as his leader?" due to grammer police intervention.
This is from the Bleacher Report so take it for what it is worth.

“I have had a chance to speak with [Michigan] coaches Robinson and Braithwaite. I like both coaches, they are good guys. Michigan is losing their middle linebacker so I am keeping an eye on that," Grant said.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:44 AM ^
But i has a problem with the grammar on this post
December 10th, 2010 at 6:16 PM ^
You need to get gooder grammar dude. Thats embarrassing
December 10th, 2010 at 8:44 AM ^
God, I hope so. Last I heard he may take a visit here in January but I never heard about us being a leader.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:45 AM ^
This is Bleacher Report. Michigan is not the leader.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:47 AM ^
Figured as much. IIRC, Florida was going to be a tough one to beat -- wonder how Urban's departure will have an effect.
December 10th, 2010 at 9:00 AM ^
Push him towards OSU
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
December 10th, 2010 at 10:52 AM ^
I'm being homeriffic here, but I think UVA can overcome OSU. I don't know if we can beat Florida, but I think we can beat OSU. Right now they handicap this one as UF, OSU, UVA, but I think in the end if it's not Florida, it's UVA. I don't have much reason for saying that, other than that CG can't seem to stop hanging out in Charlottesville and UVA keeps reeling in verbals from this one group of guys that are always hanging out together.
December 10th, 2010 at 11:46 AM ^
I didn't mean to insinuate that they don't have a chance, but every time I've heard him talk about UVA, it's been kind of like "I respect London, a lot of my friends like it...it's a pretty cool place...but I'm not sure it's for me."
December 15th, 2010 at 4:15 PM ^
I'll say they don't have a chance. I've lived in VA for 25 years, Richmond for 13. There are about 0 top recruits in the state that go to UVA. VT has more recognition and more influence with high school coaches. And considering the high school he goes too, he isn't going to UVA no matter what he thinks of London. VT has an amazing stadium feel, UVA lacks the campus sex appeal. If he stays in state, he'll go to VT.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:54 AM ^
Thank you very much. :0)
December 10th, 2010 at 11:33 AM ^
Bleacher Report is the absolute worst. If there were BCS rankings for recruiting analysts, then TomVH would be ranked #1 and bleacher report would be well out of the top 25. So ill wait to see what he the great TomVH has to say about this.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:45 AM ^
kid whose father played befensive back for UM under Bo? Isn't he from Ohio? or is this a different kid?
December 10th, 2010 at 8:46 AM ^
You're thinking of 2012 OH S Allen Gant
December 10th, 2010 at 3:36 PM ^
for the clarification sir.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:47 AM ^
You're thinking of Gant from the class of 2012.
December 10th, 2010 at 9:20 AM ^
I thought he was the offspring of Cary Grant. Duh!
December 10th, 2010 at 11:35 AM ^
But when did you last see a dentist?
December 10th, 2010 at 8:45 AM ^
I'm pretty sure Florida is his leader, then Ohio State.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:50 AM ^
That's what I hear as well. OSU visit is next week.
Don't think Michigan is in his top 5 anymore (per $$ Scout article).
December 10th, 2010 at 9:11 AM ^
The most recent one regarding his recruitment is from GBW and isn't totally depressing.
“I have spoken with the coaches from Michigan, LSU, North Carolina and Florida as well as others. I have no favorites. I am just going to take things easy and get a feel of what’s going on until my football season is over, and then jump into it at that time."
December 10th, 2010 at 9:37 AM ^
Interesting, that he didn't list OSU. Also, isn't he Doran's cousin?
December 10th, 2010 at 9:47 AM ^
No, not at all
December 10th, 2010 at 9:49 AM ^
The article I read is from yesterday and basically says he's not "feeling them now" ("them" being Michigan). The article above is from November 16th.
Edit: The interview was actually done by Mike Farrell on Rivals, not Scout.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:50 AM ^
That would be great if he chose Michigan, but these days I don't get my hopes up for much.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:59 AM ^
This weekend, his team (Hermitage) plays Bayside (Home of VA CB Demetrious Nicholson) in Scott Stadium (UVA) for the state title. He won't be as focused on recruiting until afterwards.
December 10th, 2010 at 9:42 AM ^
Hermitage is effing ridiculous. We played them in 7-on-7s over the summer.
December 10th, 2010 at 9:49 AM ^
We went down there in October and watched them play Varina (Brandon Minor's old school). It was like watching a college team play, they're a very strong, disciplined team.
December 10th, 2010 at 10:45 AM ^
Hermitage played Bayside last week; this week I think they play Battlefield or someone with no chance whatsoever. They crushed Bayside, too.
December 10th, 2010 at 11:09 AM ^
play Battlefield who I wasn't expecting to get by Lake Braddock but shit happens haha
December 10th, 2010 at 11:12 AM ^
Bayside would have won if A.C. Slater hadn't run out of eligibility.
December 10th, 2010 at 11:18 AM ^
It's Phoebus they play this week, my bad
December 10th, 2010 at 11:27 AM ^
Hate to keep doing this to you but Phoebus plays Stone Bridge.
December 10th, 2010 at 11:43 AM ^
Right you are, I'm just taking info from my brother, guess he's off
December 10th, 2010 at 10:58 AM ^
I have to ask...
Is A.C Slater suiting it up for Bayside???
December 10th, 2010 at 9:30 AM ^
December 10th, 2010 at 9:57 AM ^
We don't lead but may get an official.
December 10th, 2010 at 10:04 AM ^
no he doesn't, but if he does, i'll shit myself.
December 10th, 2010 at 11:32 AM ^
Is that a common occurrence?
December 10th, 2010 at 10:05 AM ^
Please do not start your post off with TomVH unless you are actually Tom. This is his signature line and it he should be the only one to use it.
<br>
<br>Go Blue!
December 10th, 2010 at 10:30 AM ^
TomVH follows up "TomVH" with a colon.
The OP's "TomVH" was followed by a comma.
That's one way you can tell that it's not a TomVH post.
December 10th, 2010 at 10:41 AM ^
TomVH makes statements.
December 10th, 2010 at 10:48 AM ^
We need to settle this
Who has the video of the TomVH symbol?
December 10th, 2010 at 11:25 AM ^
but we will find out in due time if he is considering Michigan especially if he does visit in January. It would obviously be a huge get for RR and Michigan. We could use a LB like him.
December 10th, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
No, Michigan is not leading. As of a few days ago he had not scheduled a visit either.
December 10th, 2010 at 1:33 PM ^
how many more LB's are we looking for in this class? I know Desmond and Kris are good shots, but are there others michigan plans on landing?
December 10th, 2010 at 1:52 PM ^
Michigan needs depth at LB. We already have commitments from Kinard (if he qualifies) and Kellen Jones. Seems like they are looking for at least two more in Lamar Dawson, Branden Jackson, Desmond Morgan, Curtis Grant, LaQuentin Smith, or Kris Frost. I agree with you about our chances with Kris and Desmond but would be pleasantly surprised to land Lamar or Curtis.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:14 PM ^
I don't think we're going to take 4 linebackers.
Kinard hasn't even been offered by Michigan for the Class of 2011. He's essentially a backup plan to a couple of those other guys you mentioned. If Kris Frost were to come aboard (who is a weakside linebacker type), then the addition of Kinard (who was told he'd be a weakside linebacker) would be redundant. The coaches are dragging their feet on offering Antonio, because they know he'll commit and they have other guys in mind.
They might take two more linebackers (for a total of three), but not three more.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:17 PM ^
I didn't realize that Antonio Kinard has not been offered. I though that RR honored his 2010 offer into 2011 if he qualified.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:29 PM ^
Does the same go for Conway? Does he have to get re-offered next year to committ to Michigan? I know he said he wants to play for Michigan, but I guess the coaches have to look at what kind of prospects are available next year.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:37 PM ^
Yes. Official offers are pretty much only good for one recruiting cycle. The following year, most schools re-evaluate prospects and needs. So while Conway intends to make it to Michigan next year, it's entirely possible that if a better high school recruit comes along (with 4 years of eligibility remaining, as opposed to Conway's 3), then Michigan's coaches wouldn't take Conway.
