TomVH: TE Taylor McNamara Offered
I have written about California TE Taylor McNamara a few times now. One of those times was here in my Weekly Update. McNamara had been told by the Michigan coaches that he would be recruited heavily, since he's from the San Diego area and they were familiar with him. He was offered yesterday by tight end coach Dan Ferrigno, and was pretty excited by the news.
They told me they were going to offer soon, and then Coach Ferrigno said you have an offer from Michigan yesterday. I'm going to try to make it out there, but it gets expensive and there's only so many junior days you can make it to. If I don't get out there for that I'll take an official visit or something else.
Something to keep an eye on before you get too excited is that Ohio State is one of his favorites. They had dropped on his list because they hadn't been in too much contact with him. He's scheduled to talk to a coach from OSU in about a week. If they pick up their recruitment of him, they might be pretty hard to beat. I believe they have already offered. He's also interested in Oregon and Notre Dame among others.

Tom, do you have any info on a California OT named Kyle Murphy? I heard he was recently offered or in the process of receiving an offer.
February 12th, 2011 at 4:23 PM ^
with a frame at 6-5, 235 as a high school junior that he already had the nickname of "Tank".
February 12th, 2011 at 4:26 PM ^
So this kid is familiar with our current coaching staff and just received a Michigan offer as was promised when the staff left San Diego St. In comes OSU a weekish from now drops an offer off and they are the favorite to land him. God do we need to beat their asses this year.

That kind of shit really pisses me off and makes me sick. God I hate them.

I Hate snow.
February 12th, 2011 at 5:04 PM ^

Isn't everything from high gas prices to the extinction of the unicorn Ohio's fault?
February 12th, 2011 at 6:48 PM ^
is also responsible for saggy boobs, beer gut, and global warming. FACT!!!
that is all.
February 13th, 2011 at 12:34 AM ^
I think I'm more upset that they caused saggy boobs and less upset about the global warming.
February 13th, 2011 at 12:43 AM ^
causing the blackout of 2003.
February 12th, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
They're not extinct. You just have to believe to see them.
February 12th, 2011 at 11:55 PM ^
and be high on acid.
February 13th, 2011 at 7:40 AM ^
Plus, they're sock stealers. I know those missing socks after doing laundry are ending up in Ohio.
February 12th, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
Maybe we should tell them that there's a 70% chance their NFL destinations will be cold too - so its time to MAN UP!

They have a consistenly winning program. UM can not match what OSU has put together. Until Hoke and his staff prove they can return Michigan back to glory, Michigan is going to have to fight tooth and nail to get top end recruits.
February 12th, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
Ya well, O'Doyle also rules, and look what happened to them.
February 12th, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
...was not even on the Michigan radar before Hoke.
February 12th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
I don't think many TE's were on Michigan's radar before Hoke.
February 12th, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
FK Ohio State. Rule or no rule.
February 12th, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
I'm gonna spontaneously combust if I hear that we don't have a chance for a kid just because that shitty school down there offers a scholarship. Time for Hoke & Mattison to bring an end to this horse-puckie. Getting a "W" next November should seal the deal. Go Blue!!
February 12th, 2011 at 8:47 PM ^
need to get at least 1 tight-end in this class maybe two.GO BLUE!!!
February 12th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
definitely 1 but with barnett i think we might have other needs than to get two TE's this year
February 12th, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
McNamara is an epic name for a football player to have.
