TomVH: Quick Visitor Update

I've gotten a few emails and questions about some visitors coming up so I figured I'd just post it here.

New Jersey ATH Devin Fuller (6'0", 185 lbs, 4 Star) is not visiting for the BBQ. He told me he doesn't have a date set to visit Michigan yet, but he would still like to.

I'm about to run to the doctor [my wife is pregnant, hopefully finding out the sex today] but I have a text and call in to DT Ondre Pipkins (6'3", 325 lbs, 4 Star) to see if he's decided to visit for the BBQ. I'll update that when I get back.

Iowa WR Amara Darboh (6'2", 190 lbs, 4 Star) is not visiting for the BBQ either, he has a team camp. He is potentially visiting on Monday, but he said it's not 100% yet. I'll have more from him in the Weekly Update.

Congrats!

Hope the wife and littleVH are doing well! Exciting times for you, I'm sure.

Sam Webb said this morning that he'll be there. 

I would like he, O'Brien, and Pipkens to all commit on the spot.  Then Wormley, Burbridge, and Diamond and let's go home.  Yes I know the coaches say they only want 1 DT.

I'd be thrilled with any three of Day, O'Brien, Pipkins, Wormley, and Washington (assuming at least 1 DT and 1 DE in there). That saves a few spots for the offense.

I hope we get four from your list

DL is a huge need for this team.

I think we'll take 2 top DE, and 2 top DT.

agreed

I'm with you, as well as True Blue, who added Dunn to your six. A spot I am less certain about is WR.

 

Does anyone know anything about Amara Darboh? He is supposed to be good, but I had no idea that we were in on him at all. Can we sneak him past ND?

 

Or do we prefer Stanford or Burbridge anyway? Gotta love these little dilemmas. And we might still be in the running for Washington - he's really played things close to the vest so far . . . .

Congratulations.

Thanks for the dedication despite your more important appointment.  I hope all goes well.  Sorry to hear about the guys that won't be there.  Sounds like they will miss out on quite a show on the new scoreboard.

Any name ideas yet Tom?

I think it'd be cool if in 25 years my kid could be on Mgoblog getting recruiting updates from your TomVH (Jr), DomVH, RonVH, or MonVH (Mon for Monica, couldn't think of a girl names that rhymed) 

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

mentioned trying to get his wife to warm up to "Haley Victoria" for first/middle.  I forgot his screen name, but that's damn awesome if you ask me.

Magnus is a fine name for a child. And no you can't use it. I've got enough Magnus impostors around here already

Despite what the other guy calls himself, my name actually is Magnus.

I don't know about Magnus Von Haaren. Sounds like a guy who might try to kill Captain America and take over the world.

At least no one would ever mess with him. You don't mess with a kid named Magnus. Then you could say "oh yea well my son Magnus took over the world! And I've seen your kids finger paintings and they suck!"

I thought it said "find out if I can get some sex today"....then I was "no, that can't be right" and reread it.

Agree. There's no way to lose on this one. Sons and daughters are both great, and you'll love your kid so much that you'll convince yourself that you were lucky as hell to get the gender you got (no matter which one it is).
