He's been considered a long shot for awhile, but still has shown up in some U-M recruiting discussions. It's from the horse's mouth now--we're out. His top three is Washington, Oklahoma, and USC. Michigan "wasn't for [him]."
Would've been nice to have a true left tackle. I'm excited about Garnett, but it sounds like he's anticipating playing guard in college.
Funniest quote: "[Norman] was a good city."
We were out of it the
Yep, I really want Garnett
Now though. He's a beast, on and off the field.
"If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."
Yeah
Garnett or Diamond, please!
O-K-L-A...
Fer' sure!
Very unfair to have to view what little AA offers compared to Norman. They have the sky, crops, and even have surries with fringe on the top. Plus if you consider the proximity to KC, well "everything's just up-to-date in Kansas City!"
AA just pales in comparison after a vist to Oklahoma! We never had a chance!

Michigan's not for everyone
Michigan's not for everyone and will survive. He would of been a nice coup but we stocked up anyway. Good luck to the kid!

Kyle Kalis
Hoping he stays home
and goes to Washington. Best of luck with the 2 sports schedule.

Damn, I really wanted him badly. I'm praying Magnuson can get garnett here.

A true left tackle
I think your forgetting Magnuson and Kalis?
Yeah, maybe. People who know
Yeah, maybe. People who know more than me seem to think that Kalis is going to be a dominant guard and that Magnuson is best suited for right tackle. I'm really excited for both of those guys, but I was getting greedy and hoping for blue chips across the line.

When Shane is our QB, it'll
When Shane is our QB, it'll be probably be better if Magnuson is a RT because he'll be Shane's blindside.
"A Michigan Man will coach a Michigan Team"
When they refer to Magnuson
When they refer to Magnuson being a better at RT they mean he's better at not protecting the blindside and more of a road grader. He would play LT if/when Shane starts and RT if a righty starts.

Guard?
6-8 guards nowadays, huh?

Lewan should have 2 more
Lewan should have 2 more years left, so we can get our Prototyple Lefty guy next year and be fine. and who is to say magnison can't be Left, in college guys who should be on the right in he NFL play Left all the time just because they are the best tackle on the team
He does have two
but I'm sure the NFL will be calling after next season.
Magnuson can play left
Magnuson can play left tackle. I think he would be better on the right, but we have options.
Ben Braden anyone?
Ben Braden anyone?
Braden
I think he's a strongside tackle.
Let's keep in mind that our general idea of "left tackle" and "right tackle" might be flip-flopped if/when Shane Morris, a left-hander, becomes our quarterback.
From what I've heard
Braden has looked very good and wouldn't be shocked if he played RT. Any truth to that?
I'd agree with that
He has gained some weight during the season, and has great size to be a dominant RT.
Sam Webb
he's beaten the "Braden has the feet and size to be a LT" drum several times this year
I get the feeling that Sam
I get the feeling that Sam Webb often overhypes University of Michigan recruits and in-state prospects.
He can also
Play center. Extremely versatile.
Good Luck to Zach
He has a great future ahead of him. A guy of his size will dominate! He is a player i'll still have my eye on throughout his career.
Best of luck to him
Best of luck, but we are still set
He would have been nice to have but we have a killer class and may still grab one more blue chipper on the line. Our future is very bright as is the future for the kids that pick Michigan.
Whenever I see Zach Banner I
If he goes sooner...
Aww i was hoping for the
Aww i was hoping for the .... Michigan wraps up a "Banner" year in recruiting post. Best of luck to Banner where ever he ends up. No hard feelings I'm still amped over Garnet or Diamond to finish off the O line this year
Magnuson will be LT...
Magnuson-Kalis-Stacey-Bars-Braden
Toss Garnett in there and I think Bars becomes the utility OL ala Schofield.
That would be a killer OL.
That would be a killer OL. Definitely one that would be one of the best at Michigan ever.

It's a little early to start
It's a little early to start putting these guys up there w/ the jake longs/hutchinsons.
But it is nice to imagine an all big ten line that will give our pro style QB all day to pick apart Ds and hit out pro style WRs.
o and MANBALL too
HOKEAMANIA!!!
If we get Garnett, I think
If we get Garnett, I think Kalis would play strongside guard and Garnett would be the backside/pulling guard. Not that it really matters, because there will probably be some redshirts and injuries involved (although I hope no injuries), but Garnett is more mobile so I'd put him on the run instead of Kalis.
Agreed.
I highly doubt this line will ever play together as a whole. Guys will leave early, and there will be guys like Chris Bryant, who I think becomes a starter...and then we'll have younger guys from the '13 and '14 classes that will push for PT.
