Top DT Marvin Wilson leaves Michigan off Top Ten list
Thought this was a little odd considering Rivals released an article in which he was quoted as saying it was a good possiblility that he attend Michigan.Of course we still could get into that top ten or get a visit because Harbaugh. But thought it was a good example of crootin'
EDIT: Since I am seeing a lot of comments about how Rivals sucks I just wanted to say that was not my intention with this post. Just to show what recruiting has become...'crootin.

Because this confused me and might confuse others, there are two 5-star Wilsons: Marvin and Isaiah. Marvin, a DT from Texas, hasn't been on the radar until very recently. Isaiah is the OT from New York we've been hearing about for months.
Well...Marvin Wilson has been on the radar for a long time, actually. He took in a Michigan satellite camp last summer and was offered before that point. Greg Mattison was in on him pretty early, and Wilson actually said pretty positive things about Michigan early. The longer his recruitment has worn on, the further Michigan has dropped. The headline from Rivals was the first positive thing I had heard about Wilson in a while, but it was Rivals, so I took it with a grain of salt (rightfully so, it appears).
Fair enough. I probably should have said off the radar for those of us who don't run Michigan recruiting websites.
Saban said that satellite camps are useless because they don't get Alabama any five star players. Now if you asked him, if bagmen are useless he might have a different opinion. I know I do judging by how well the REBELS have done since Hugh Freeze.
The kid said what he said. Not Rivals' fault.
My sarcasm meter may be on the fritz. This is sarcasm, right?
I thought Rivals said there was a good chance he ended up at Michigan playing with Rashan Gary?????
Maybe he is just taking the Kaindoh route to throw everyone off his trail, and is actually already committed to play for Michigan...
Judging from his schools it's all about the Benjerman's baby
is Hollywood Marv. . .
very telling.
Yes very telling, doesn't sound much like a Harbaugh recruit. Maybe Motor City Marv but definetly not Hollywood Marv.
I have had a rivals account for sometime now, over five years, and I must say I agree that they have gone downhill in the few years as far as recruiting info and team info in general. Anything I read about fall or spring practices I take with less than a grain of salt because nothing has really come to fruition that they write. I've benn shopping for a new paywalled site, thinking about switching to 247.
247 is better than Scout, IMO. I know there was a thread about it a week or two ago, so you may want to skim that before deciding. Good luck dropping your Rivals membership, though. I've heard the process is a pain in the rear.
Thanks.
67% in favor of 247 Sports
21% in favor of Scout
12% in favor of Rivals
Thanks for the feedback.
+/- 100%
Ehhh, seems like much ado about nothing. Wilson's words are his words, and yet, the Rivals' article title was still clickbait given what's been known about his recruitment for a while. All part of the never-ending silliness known as 'crootin.
Seems Scout was a little off on his recruitment as well...
This was just from last week!
At Houston satellie camp -- 2017 4-star Bellaire (Texas) Episcopal DT Marvin Wilson just reiterated #Michiganis in his top 5

That tweet is a year old.
Haha... my bad! I guess alot changes in a year :)
...the Rivals hate was so thick here.
Good luck to the young man.
Oh well. Can't get them all. Best of luck wherever you go. Unless its OSU. Then I will wish grave, non injury-related misfortune on you on the last weekend of every season.
He had UM interest or he has Michigan interest? I do believe we have some playing opportunity on the line from what I read about Bredesons possible position opportunities all along the OL including left OT. With Logan TT having (priority) problems. I would think UMs priority would be another bonafide OT more along the size of Lewan. Then UM can sick Bredeson on this Hollywood character in the NC game if need be.
Michign will be fine without him. Besides, it's still early. When Michigan runs the table and wins the NC in a decisive fashion, everyone will want to be all in for Harbaugh.
