Twitterverse Coaching Update
According to Sam Webb via Teddy Blanks, Durkin and Greg Jackson (DB coach) are both on campus today meeting with JH...
Blanks also notes that Vince Marrow has been recruiting cornerback Marcus Lewis for UK so that helps our already revived chances with him. He has also been the recruiter for Damien Harris... but that may be a bridge too far.

think we will hear an announcement tomorrow ?
January 4th, 2015 at 4:03 PM ^
or Tuesday. they may add another coach by then.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:08 PM ^
Hopefully Wheatley - Father AND Son!
January 4th, 2015 at 4:10 PM ^
Wheatley should be both singular and plural, imho
January 4th, 2015 at 4:18 PM ^
Would a grouping be considered a murder, a colony, a coalition, an intrusion, a shoal? "A shoal of Wheatley arrived in Ann Arbor today..."
January 4th, 2015 at 4:42 PM ^
If it should happen and Wheatley showed up along with his son in Ann Arbor, I think that we have to keep with the tradition of his position and call it a "burst of Wheatley" or an "effort of Wheatley". Either might work in this case. We can certainly put it up to a blog vote if at any point this looks like it might happen.
January 5th, 2015 at 12:29 AM ^
Seconded
January 4th, 2015 at 4:51 PM ^
sheafley : a bundle of Wheatleys; esp. father and son.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:18 PM ^
Check the handle, bro
January 4th, 2015 at 4:23 PM ^
I guess Wheatley for a plural noun would be creepy in your case.
"Eat your Wheatley."
Taken as innuendo it is creepy. Taken literally, it is even creepier.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:46 PM ^
I had the beautiful picture in mind of a field of Wheatley, implying Wheatley were too numerous to be counted
January 4th, 2015 at 4:56 PM ^
A shock of Wheatley...
January 4th, 2015 at 5:09 PM ^
Awww, man, come on...it was a play on the cereal, but you made it weird for me. As the late, great Stuart Scott might say, "don't hate the playa, hate the game."
January 4th, 2015 at 4:11 PM ^
staff at the same time? It looks that way.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:03 PM ^
Are on campus, then yes. No need to wait any longer.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:06 PM ^
Everything I've seen indicates JH did a lot of homework well before his hiring at Michigan was announced. With just about a month to go to signing day, I think everything is about to be finalized with the new staff and they'll jump on the restocking process to fill up those available spots.
I predict a LOT of "Hello!" posts in the near future!
January 4th, 2015 at 4:11 PM ^
you seen? Anything that the rest of us haven't?
January 4th, 2015 at 4:19 PM ^
Drevno has a Mcommunity profile.

January 4th, 2015 at 4:19 PM ^
Nice work.
January 4th, 2015 at 6:12 PM ^
maybe the beginnings of another profile. Not sure how it would look if the person didn't exist at all. https://mcommunity.umich.edu/#profile:vmarrow
January 4th, 2015 at 8:05 PM ^
Just some inside background. I work at the U, so know a bit about how and community works. The profiles that are linked above, are the type that we create when setting up a temporary unique name, so that people's email can start. Usually the situation is either that this is for a visitor, or in this case more likely a way to temporarily give access to the university systems while hiring paperwork catches up with them. The fact that they have M community entries is an extremely good sign thatthey are going to be employed at UM
January 4th, 2015 at 5:46 PM ^
haven't also seen---DJ Durkin turning down other opportunities, Greg Mattison continuing to recruit, Drevno coming on board so quickly, etc., etc.
All the above just seem to show that JH was on-board at Michigan well before he was officially on-board at Michigan
January 4th, 2015 at 11:31 PM ^
that JH was not just aware, but fully aware.
I think we have definitely entered a new era.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:03 PM ^
Looking forward to the impact the new coaching staff will make!
January 4th, 2015 at 4:03 PM ^
Looks likely... maybe for all three coaches.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:05 PM ^
Does anyone know if Ian Bunting has followed Marrow on Twitter yet?
January 4th, 2015 at 4:08 PM ^
but I'm just not sure where....
January 4th, 2015 at 4:09 PM ^
He has.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:42 PM ^
I have not yet heard mention of this at all.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:56 PM ^
Fingers crossed.
January 4th, 2015 at 7:00 PM ^
Just ask Teddy Blanks. ..he knows ALL!
January 4th, 2015 at 4:10 PM ^
My source is telling me Ian Bunting has added Vince Marrow on the twittersphere.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:15 PM ^
My sources confirm your sources
January 4th, 2015 at 4:11 PM ^
Yes

Wasn't Greg Jackson supposed to have been hired by Auburn?
January 4th, 2015 at 4:19 PM ^
I should use Google before I ask stuff.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:13 PM ^

I'll take some mini-searchbits (searchpicos? nanosearchbits? searchmicrobits? searchsnippets?) wheneva.
Also, a million thanks for starting a thread with info. Much prefered to those created just to ask a question. ;)
January 4th, 2015 at 4:40 PM ^
info > whiny questions

I don't have the points to post this, but it appears that Malzone and Cole have indeed enrolled early and are now Michigan Students. This is great news, and is absolutely worthy of a thread.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:30 PM ^
Ask and you shall receive, Mr. Harbaugh.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:40 PM ^
I hope this gets you those points you deserve!
January 4th, 2015 at 4:42 PM ^
Keep it up with the good posts.
January 4th, 2015 at 4:50 PM ^
Jim Harbaugh is the one who knocks.
January 4th, 2015 at 5:28 PM ^
So based on the latest we are looking at:
Durkin DC - in.
Drevno OC - in.
Mattison LB or DL - in.
Jackson DB - in.
Manning LB or RB - in.
Marrow TE - in.
Morton WR - probable.
S&C - Turley or Tolbert probable.
2 spots open:
Others:
Tyrone Wheatley RB - unkown.
Andy Moeller OL - unknown
Due to the lack of any info on Wheatly I doubt he's in.
January 4th, 2015 at 5:33 PM ^
Thanks for the twitter updates as I will never make one or use it.
January 4th, 2015 at 5:56 PM ^
Feldman reporting Harbaugh is after Stanford's DC, which would be interesting to day the least considering all we've heard surrounding Durkin.

Tweet from random person. Hopefully not true? https://twitter.com/csegers3/status/551929294591913984

Shit. Hopefully, just wildfire rumors.... https://twitter.com/algoggin/status/551930223873110016
