Ty Wheatley Jr is on campus

Ty Wheatley Jr is on campus. Just walked by Ty Wheatley Jr, Sr and Jay Harbaugh. Looked like they were showing him around. They all had huge smiles on their face. Jay was showing him the ropes. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come. Go Blue!

I'm guessing something along the lines of 'it won't happen', but again, that's just my guess

He has left Michigan out of his top four, wouldn't commit to taking an official visit to Ann Arbor, and the mods of multiple sites have been saying that things were looking bleak for Michigan's chances of getting Wheatley.

I just hope TW Sr. doesn't say something (in his role as recruiter) that makes TW Sr. (in his role as father) angry. It could get ugly, one half of TW Sr. trying to push the other half of TW Sr. out of his own house.

Couldn't have handle what Mattison said to him about his academics, that he was never going to being able to handle the truth that he was going to have to work to play here.

i knew he would visit. the hard part is the father . he has to pick on his own. i am sure sr will back him on whatever he does. i coached a lot of sports when my kid was little. it is really hard on them. harbaugh know all this so he should have some advice. he will take mich.

I'm sure it was no different in the 80's when Andy Moeller played with Gary on the coaching staff. That worked out pretty damn well.

Has Sam Webb backed off on this at all? He's said his opinion - no gut feeling - is that he'll end up here, at least in the past. Mom wants him to be close, and he and dad are very tight.

Ty Wheatley Sr is a coach. He's a UM legacy, just ask the Washington Huskies. You are on campus. What seems to be the problem here ?, Just commit damn it !

Come on Junior. We all can use great news !

Well that was kept on the down low. I'm wondering if it was kept secret because his dad is part of the staff, otherwise it would have been announced ahead of time. Hopefully this bodes well for us.

If Michigan does land him, it will be interesting to see which side of the ball he ends up on, especially if Pickard commits and Clark re-commits.

While I very much want Ty in the class ( I live near him and have watched many of his games) I don't think he wants to have to live up to his fathers name at UM. Hopefully I am very wrong. Reel him in pops!

I don't think that will be a problem. Maybe if he was a RB than yes, but he plays a different position. Even if it's TE or DE, he won't be playing the same way he dad did.

What are Navy guys doing in dress uniform at the game? And whoever they are, they're high enough up to be somebody . . . there are fewer master chiefs than captains in the Navy . . . less than 1% of the enlisted Navy makes it that far.

(can't help but be curious, with my daughter in the Navy and currently underway.)

I taught Tyrone two hours a day for a year and wanted to share my observations. You learn a lot about a student being with them that much. I found that he was one of the most serious, respectful students I've ever taught. He respected his dad so much and it wasn't so much about pleasing him, but understanding and respecting what he was teaching. Tyrone Sr. was one of the most hands-on parents I've ever been around. I really doubt that Tyrone Jr. will go to another university where his dad and family won't be part of it. Family is huge to the Wheatleys and I really think he'll chose to be here at the U with them.

He is an important get. There's really no way to understate that. Why? Because he can play multiple positions. With this class being so small, it'd be good to get some athlete types like Wheatley and figure out in the fall where they are needed.
