Tremendous Talks To David Dawson And About The 2012 Class
Today, Tremendous Michigan had two new posts.
The first was about David Dawson. Aquaman interviewd him and he talked about what an offer from Michigan would mean to him and what it would be like to play for Michigan with his friends from Cass Tech. The article analyzes his strengths and weaknesses and shows why he has Tremendous upside:

The second article breaks down how Michigan will finish the 2012 class. They go into detail about the four remaining targets (Kozan, Diamond, Grant and Reeves) and list some potential surprise commits and why they could come to Michigan. Aquaman seems to feel that there is a chance for Stefon Diggs still and that Michigan coaches may very well have visited him last week.

Might as well keep the Diggs to Michigan hope alive until he sends his LOI somewhere else.
January 28th, 2012 at 2:50 PM ^
Now we're going to get a lot of questions about Diggs. Can't wait for signing day.
January 28th, 2012 at 3:33 PM ^
Man, I would love to land Diggs. We would have one solid WR class if we did.
January 28th, 2012 at 3:26 PM ^
Diggs was NOT the surprise guy. Maybe that changed as of today but yesterday he said no to Diggs.
January 28th, 2012 at 3:47 PM ^
I have a feeling it's Robert Gregory. Would make a lot of sense. We could use another skill position guy in this class, will have an extra scholarship or two available, and really need to entice Diamond to come here and get at least five true O-Lineman signed up.
January 28th, 2012 at 3:28 PM ^
What happened with his recruitment previously?
January 28th, 2012 at 3:28 PM ^
I would be honestly shocked if he doesn't go to Ohio State. Meyer has been giving him the Percy Harvin pitch....
Frankly if Meyer can get Miller to at least hit some timing and spread routes - that kid is going to be lethal...
January 28th, 2012 at 3:46 PM ^
Frankly, if Meyer doesn't cobble together an at least second-rate offensive line to protect Braxton Miller, he is going to get broken in half come Big Ten season. I'm pretty sure he got nicked up and missed time last year with Adams, Shugarts, and Brewster protecting him. They're now gone, and they've got the likes of Mr. Plow's little brother potentially protecting him in their stead. That's called a downgrade, folks. But, yeah, no worries, I'm sure Urban Meyer will just telepahtically shift his Jesus-like aura to form a protective bubble around Braxton Miller, who needs an O-Line, right?
January 28th, 2012 at 4:19 PM ^
I'm frankly a little confused by Urban Meyer's recruiting so far. They need O-linemen bad, almost as much as we do. So far, they have 4 linemen commited and i believe the only one who projects to tackle is Taylor Decker. And then their 2 top commits play the same position. Spence, washington, and pittman are all DE's and i dont think they have as much positional flexibility as our d-linemen. Their Offensive line is due for a big, big drop off. They need Dodson bad.
January 28th, 2012 at 9:43 PM ^
Miller missed the last 10 minutes or so of the Nebraska game, but other than that I can't remember him missing any games, or even drives for that matter.
January 28th, 2012 at 3:50 PM ^
OSU is a Johnny-Come-Lately to the Diggs sweepstakes. He has long been rumored to favor SEC programs. My money is on Florida.
January 28th, 2012 at 3:40 PM ^
Before this day, if anyone but TomVH said there was even the barest hint of getting Diggs, I would have laughed in his face. But I'm not laughing. I guess that just shows how quickly Aqua has become a "Hold me TomVH" level source in my mind. I still don't see it happening, but I'll take it as a glimmer of hope.
I always like a good signing day surprise. It's like a stocking stuffer on Christmas morning.
January 28th, 2012 at 3:52 PM ^
Aquaman listed this as a prediction, not just a possibility. Which is like. . .come on, man.
January 28th, 2012 at 4:22 PM ^
That's what caught my attention. I get why he says Diggs could be a possibility, but his reasons for him being a possibility just don't add up to him committing in the end. We could certainly make a big push, but I don't see it happening, and I'm a huge optimist when it comes to recruiting.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:11 PM ^
He hasn't even taken an OV here. The idea of him signing is just absurd.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:22 PM ^
Just relax and have fun. My explanation is above.
January 28th, 2012 at 4:39 PM ^
Dear Ondre and Shane,
Make this happen.
Love,
Michigan fans
January 28th, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
hopefully diggs sees the chance to make an impact rite away at Michigan with stonum gone. him with the #1 jersey and countess with the #2. i know it wont happen. but we can dream.
January 28th, 2012 at 6:10 PM ^
Shame on whoever upvoted a post that spells "right" as "rite".
January 28th, 2012 at 7:39 PM ^
shame on u for caring so much about spelling in a mi blog. rite, right, wright. ryte. sorry it bothered u so bad.

Here's my favorite part:

-----------------------------------------
We like to think it is a TREMENDOUS program as well, and if the film on the Tremendous site is a good sample of this kid's work, I wouldn't mind him on the OL myself. Definitely, the fact that he is a Detroit native and has numerous ties to the current team in the way of classmates might help us in this case.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:00 PM ^
Definitely a shot in the dark but it was odd to know that Fuller wasn't around when the coaches came in and that O'Daniel didn't mention it days before when we had a very pro-Michigan convo.
January 28th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
Get Diggs on the horn! Make it happen!
January 28th, 2012 at 7:01 PM ^
I love ya Aqua, but Stefon Diggs aint happening. It would be sweet though.
January 28th, 2012 at 7:08 PM ^
January 28th, 2012 at 7:14 PM ^
Shane to Stefon would definitely sound sweet, but I'm not holding my breath on it.
January 28th, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^
Dawson sounds like a kid I really want in the 2013 class. But I'm no scout.
