TomVH: Weekend Visitor List
This is the weekend of offensive linemen for visits. Here's who I've confirmed:
- Illinois OL Jordan Diamond: I already reported that he took a quick visit before the Sound Mind Sound Body camp to Ann Arbor. He'll be making his way up to MSU and then probably back to Michigan one more time before they head home.
- Texas OL Trey Keenan: Had always planned on making it up to Michigan over the summer. I spoke with him awhile back, you can read it here.
- Tennessee OL Blake Bars: Originally from Michigan.
- Arizona OL Andrus Peat: He'll be in on Sunday, also heading to Notre Dame.
- Pennsylvania OL Chris Muller: Has Penn State as his leader, and Penn State fans were surprised he didn't publicly commit to them on his recent visit.
- Ohio WR Dwayne Stanford: The non offensive lineman that's visiting. I spoke with Dwayne a few days ago about the upcoming trip. His teammate Adolphus Washington will not be on the visit with him.
Camp starts on June 19th and runs to the 23rd. I've confirmed some campers already, but I'll hold off on those until it gets closer to Sunday.
I would agree. If he really was visiting the Wildcats, I would think that's pretty despositive that we're not really in the running for his services.
I thought people were originally saying it was because of a visit to Kentucky.. is that no longer true?
I believe it was the Stanford interview when he said that Washington was going to Kentucky on Friday. Maybe that is where the AAU thing is? I don't know. Maybe he will stop by the University also.
Visiting Kentucky Friday. AAU Basketball Saturday.
That's correct. AAU caused the conflict in his travel schedule, he'll be up at Michigan soon enough. IIRC this is Stanford's first time visiting Michigan's campus - I'm sure he'll be blown away and will report good things to his boy AW.
Something unsettling about Washington visiting Kentucky and John Calipari whispering in his ear about possibly being a two sport star.
AAU?? Maybe school ball. I coach against him and Stanford's AAU team every year and the team doesn't play together until July. June is for school ball and elite camps.
P.S. their AAU team won their state tourney like 8 years in a row and won AAU nationals at least 2x. Loaded team who plays together during school ball now. They won school ball state this year by 50.
Not sure but is there any chance they thought Adolphus Washington was coming with Stanford?
The two usually visit together maybe they just made that leap in logic
Edit: Ah the fun of being 20 seconds late to someone else with the same idea.
According to Stanford (NTS), Washington (NTW) will be at Kentucky (YTK) this weekend.
but I would really like to see some WRs start piling up. Who are all the WRs out there we are in the run for, minus Stanford.
Burbridge, Chesson...any other names would be a little out of left field at this point, and even Chesson hasn't actually visited yet.
That's why I'm really, REALLY hopeful about Stanford. Not a lot out there for a poistion we're going to be stocked at after this year.
Burbridge hasn't been talked about in a while (probably because of grades) and those are our two best chances from what I know (which isn't much).
There's also Laquon Treadwell for 2013 who is Standifer's teammate and really wants an offer. there was twitter exchange between him and Morris that went something like:
Treadwell: Man, you already committed to Michigan?
Morris: Yeah, when are you going to??
Treadwell: As soon as I get this offer, man
So that sounds pretty optimistic there. Anyone else know any 2012 WRs we're in on?
Wow, looking at Peats profile he looks way to skinny to be 305 lbs. I guess that is a part of why he is rated so highly though.
That's an older picture. He's bigger than that now.
And hopefully does his laundry now
he doesn't even have facial hair yet so will keep growing. Tom what do you think our chances are with him? very slim?
I had peach fuzz unti my mid-20s but was done growing at 17, I'm not sure taht facial hair is the tell tale sign.
is that you can tell when a kid is done growing when he has a full-grown beard but when he has almost no facial hair hes still growing
Bars, Mueller and Peat have top shelf offer lists. I hope (at least) one of them has a great trip and decides to go Blue.
Muller...not Mueller.
Damn you mueller's spaghetti!
Has a better ring to it than Muller?.....Muller?....Muller?
These kids usually follw the ebb and flow of schools they're interested in online. Knowing about the flood of visiting O-line recruits that started passing through last week, I wonder what the effect will be with the stampede this weekend. If anybody really likes it here (I'm looking at you, Diamond) I wonder if the quantity of interest will inspire them to pull the trigger.
Not that I wouldn't be thrilled to see Bars or Muller onboard, of course.
Thanks Tom.
Heres to one of them giving a commit to Coach Hoke
TVH, thanks for the updates.
Tom, tell me this. Would you leave the gun and take the cannolies? Or would you take both the gun and the cannolies?
Tom, you always say that if we can get a kid to visit, then we have a chance. What do you think our chances are with Peat now that he is visiting? I'm not getting my hopes up because I always thought he was a long shot, but just wondering if we have a legitimate shot now. Thanks again for the updates Tom. Great as always. IHSV
We'll see after the visit. I still think it will take a lot to get him to pick Michigan. Conventional wisdom says a west coast school or Nebraska. I don't think that there's zero chance, but I wouldn't be optimistic yet.
Diamond and Peat to go along with Magnuson? Yes please.
Thanks - Thought that was a little strange.
you're saying we got "Schutt out" ? ? ?
Blake Bars definitely has a nasty streak .. he latches on and blocks to the whistle. He was blocking way down field even when the play wasn't near him. I'd love to see that kid come to Michigan.
