TomVH: Just a Heads Up **A little more**
I'm not saying this is 100%, so don't take it that way. There's a chance that Wayne Morgan might not announce tomorrow, though. I said awhile ago that I knew his coaches weren't happy that some of the information being reported about him came out so fast.
They've wanted him to wait, and wanted him to take his visits this whole time. His coach is talking to him tonight to see what he wants to do. I'll let you know when I hear something. As of now the announcement is still on, but could change.
***EDIT***: Just got a text from Wayne that said he probably is going to hold off on the announcement. We'll see what happens, if he decides to do it tomorrow or wait. I'll keep you updated.
Well, here's hoping it goes through as planned. He's not going to find a better school than UM (in my completely biased opinion).
his coaches really want him to go to Rutgers?
No, not at all. They love what Michigan has done and said with Wayne. They just want to make sure he's doing the right thing and making the right choice.
It probably doesn't hurt that the longer he goes the longer the publicity stays on him and their program. That is good for them, and gives their other players an opportunity to be seen and evaluated.
double post
His coach is saying that Wayne isn't changing his decision, and he's not visiting other schools. Also that he might announce it without a press conference....
Interesting, I don't know, his coaches seem to like Michigan, but they want him to take all his visits? with Richardson and Gant in the fold, and Standifer visiting today and nearing a desicion I wouldn't think is wise to wait that much, if Standifer pulls the trigger it'd become a race for the last spot, just my 2 cents anyways....
if Standifer pulls the trigger and Reeves decides within a couple weeks he may get sqeezed out of a spot, which would be bad imo. I think 4 DB's is plenty for this class, after the forth we should concentrate on the lines
I doubt his coaches know anything about what DBs may or may not commit to Michigan in the mean time. I like that they're hoping he'll take all of his visits, it sounds like they're just trying to look out for him amongst all the recruiting hoop-lah
I beg to differ. I bet that if we are only planning on taking a set number of DBs then they are well aware of the rapid pace our recruiting has been taking. Coaches should be asking about what other players they are looking at/taking commitments from.

Let the kid do this on his own terms when he feels ready. And don't get on him for possibly being too quick to act-- after all, if any of us were lucky enough to accept a football scholarship to UM, we'd probably jump the gun before talking it over with family and coaches.
Take your time, young man-- your winged helmet isn't going anywhere.
This might have ill effects on "Best June Ever".
What fuckbag negged this post? It's the most rational goddamn thing in the thread.
I think somebody has gone and made me a neg target. Noticed it a little the past few days. I'll just have to find some way to go on living...
but I wouldn't care what my HS football coach thought. I have to make the decision for myself as it is about my future. My family would get to voice their opinion as they will always be part of my life. I couldn't care less what my HS football coach thought about where I should go to college.
Players often grow pretty close to their coaches. Coaches are often a mentor in these players' lives and I'm sure Morgan respects his coach and wants to hear him out. That being said, please go blue Wayne Morgan!
You rant just the way an obsessed college football fan would.
You're not in Morgan's position, don't know the relationship with his coach, and really are not sounding like anything but a misguided, spoiled Message Board Idiot.
It's the KID'S life, not your sorry ass quiet desperation.
I agree entirely with what you're saying, but I'd like to add that from Michigan's perspective, it's probably better that he doesn't commit and have second thoughts later. It leaves the coaches in limbo so far as knowing whether or not this kid is going to stay committed and it leaves potential recruits/commits at a distance because of spot limitations. I don't think we're going to have a problem filling spots, but I do think it's better for both parties to go about it this way so that Wayne can be 100% sure he wants to be a Wolverine. I'm still confident that, in the end, he will go Blue. This is an important decision for Wayne and his family; he should take all the time he needs.
I really hope he announces tomorrow for a recruiting birthday present. And if he does announce tomorrow, maybe he can hold up this jersey (because it's the only day he can do it).
Good update Tom, btw Do you have any information on the Thompson facebook status, like if he talked to any Michigan coaches today or when hes annoucing?
This might have ill effects on "Best June Ever".
NO Kidding. We'll have to wait & see what happens.
NOPE. After what happened Monday, pretty sure this will be the best June ever no matter what happens with our recruiting.
Inferiority complex much?
he's a young kid. we can't begrudge him if he deceides he needs more time.
seriously everyone. I hope you're all joking. I have no issue with coaches of a particular kid urging him to look around and make sure he's picking the right fit for him. there's nothing worse than either a) a kid picking a place becuase he coaches are steering him that way. or B) a kid not doing his due dilligence and not picking the right school for him putting himself in a difficult spot and the school.
Take your time and make the right decision for you Mr. Morgan.
Big decision, make it whenever it's right. Keep working hard
There was a pic of him in a Michigan hat. I think we'll be fine here. Who can out recruit our coaches at this point? Anyone with a white envelope filled with cash, and that's it.
GO BLUE!!
The guy next to him kind of looks like Devin.
Those meddling coaches........
Oh wait. Nevermind.
I am going to announce that I am probably going to buy a car in February.
I am not siging the papers until then so we'll see what happens.
What kind of car?
You might want to talk to T. Pryor before you decide, being that he has tested all of them.
Well I hope he goes blue in the end. Any idea when he's delaying until? If the coaches want him to take more visits I have to imagine might be for a while
If I was coaching a top level recruit I would probably try to get him to hold off a bit too. Don't get me wrong, if his heart is completely set on coming to Michigan and he knows for a fact he isn't going anywhere else then I would love for him to commit to Michigan (if he's leaning Rutgers than I really hope he waits), but way back when committments used to mean that a player was committed and wasn't going anywhere else. Today, it often means "hey, I'm like 75% probably going to go there." There is nothing wrong with taking your time, seeing some other places, and making sure you have the best place for you if you are a recruit.
Here's to hoping Michigan is the right place for him in the end regardless.
Uh oh Tom-did you jinx us saying June was going to be a great month?
based on the fact that Adidas sucks and he will have to wear ugly sh*t like that for his 4-5 years?
If a recruit liked everything except the jersey brand and decided not to come here based on that, they seriously have messed up priorities when it comes to choosing a school.
Great, the trolling patrol is out strong today negging people back & forth. Gotta love this blog. It's great, until the experts & know it all the regulators come out.
Wanna be Warren G's.
I really hope he comes to Michigan, but all this announcement stuff kids are pulling is ridiculous. I blame LeBron.
Neg me some more !!! Viva Zapata !!!! Bring IT !
Neg me some more !!! Viva Zapata !!!! Bring IT !
and if he already told the coaches that he is committed to them but doesnt want to make it official its no big deal he already saved his spot.
Troll Patrol Alert ....
Again, troll patrol alert. identify yourself, if you got the " huevos".
Just like I thought, you don't have the nuts to post your blogger id.
