Under Armour Updates: Leon McQuay/Michigan Commit Sightings
Leon McQuay
Not much to go on, but I did find it interesting FSU was the first to admit him as a mid-term student. Plus looks like he is FOR SURE enrolling early, so we should know by Friday where he's going.

Leon McQuay said he might only have 3 hats on the table when he announces. Wouldn't say who though. #UAgame #FSU #Vandy#USC #UM #DucksLeon McQuay says he plans on enrolling early, only #FSU has admitted him as a mid-term student so far. He is working on the others #UAGameLeon McQuay to announce Friday - http://es.pn/TVqpPHLogan Tulley-Tillman, now that's a Michigan man.

If there actually is only three hats my picks would be....FSU, Vandy, and USC. In no particular order, I really do not see Michigan making his final 3 if it so happens. I hope I am wrong.

Based on one mans opinion, didnt know my opinion would get you all butthurt. If you dont like my opinion dont listen.
December 30th, 2012 at 5:09 PM ^
Mlive loves your opinion. Just FYI!

December 30th, 2012 at 5:31 PM ^
You've mistaken "opinion" with "prediction." You can't have an opinion on tomorrow's weather, nor of tomorrow's commitments.
Besides, your opinion/prediction is (a) not apparently based on anything, and (b) contradicted by a good deal of evidence from informed sources.
December 30th, 2012 at 5:37 PM ^
saying Michigan will have a hat on the table, or informed sources saying Michigan has a good shot at McQuay? I can buy the former, but every informed source I'm aware of says no to the latter.
December 30th, 2012 at 6:07 PM ^
That Michigan isn't out of it.
December 30th, 2012 at 7:51 PM ^
It's FSU, Vandy and Michigan and has been all along.
Michigan is probably #3, but they're in the top 3. With that said, it's a moot point because myself along with 5-6 others have been trying to tell people for a month that he's not coming to A2.
...and neither is Treadwell.

Well, given the evidence at hand, I'd say the posts are based on poor grammar and punctuation.

Damn, so you won't be commit #25? Too bad. Fortunately, there's a decent chance Leon McQuay will take your spot.
December 30th, 2012 at 5:39 PM ^
It's really too bad. Michiganfootball13 has a great film, 40 time and lots of potential. I was extremely excited about him until I heard about his attitude problems. Reminds me of....Yuri Wright?
December 30th, 2012 at 6:31 PM ^
Whatever happened to Wright?
(Perfect example of why I stopped getting "het up" about recruiting. Once these guys commit somewhere else they completely fall off my radar.)
December 30th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
Odd you ask of Yuri Wright...
He enjoyed a 1-11 season with the Colorado Buffaloes and will be welcoming new head coach Mike MacIntyre (formerly of San Jose State) over the coming months.
Yuri did contribute this season with 16 tackles...showed some promise.

Neither the Rivals nor the Scout guys think we have a very legit shot.
December 30th, 2012 at 5:56 PM ^
December 30th, 2012 at 6:00 PM ^
Tom thinks we're behind too. Whatever, people can hope or despair in accordance with their nature, but there appears to be far less reason for optimism with regard to McQuay than Derrick Green.
December 30th, 2012 at 6:14 PM ^
In his recruiting round-up on WTKA he sounded pretty certain McQuay was going elsewhere, despite his practice appearance, but was still high on the Green chances. (He didn't mention anything about McQuay-related "shady" issues referred to below.)
December 30th, 2012 at 11:31 PM ^
Rivals and Scout are generally right-er than random dudes on MGoBlog.
December 30th, 2012 at 7:56 PM ^
Thinking happy thoughts and fluffy clouds won't get McQuay to Ann Arbor any more than they will Treadwell. It may be hard to accept, but there are many kids across the country for whom Michigan isn't the Valhalla of college football.
December 30th, 2012 at 5:04 PM ^
We're going to need this guy with the emergence of Connor Cook.
December 30th, 2012 at 5:22 PM ^
December 30th, 2012 at 5:27 PM ^
WOOSH
December 30th, 2012 at 7:28 PM ^
That needs to be a moderation option
December 30th, 2012 at 5:40 PM ^
Weintraub... You need to learn what sarcasm is
December 30th, 2012 at 7:25 PM ^
I understand there are times where sarcasm is hard to read, but this is not one of those times.
Nobody who knows what sarcasm is should have any trouble at all realizing that his post was entirely sarcastic.

What does that mean that FSU already has him as a admit for the midterm?
He can enroll early at FSU if he decides to go there.
Can he be admitted at multiple schools then decide on one?
Yes
December 30th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
December 30th, 2012 at 5:40 PM ^
The reason that he will likely not pick Michigan is because we actually may be having a problem getting him an early enrollee spot. I know this sounds dumb, but this was supposedly the issue with Arnett last year too.
Also, I'm not just totally pulling this out of my arse. This was my first thought after reading something Sam Webb put out on Scout, mainly that there was a non-shady something to work out kinda thing that was looking hard to work out, hence making Michigan almost a non-factor if this something working out doesn't get worked out. Only one other poster directly asked Webb if this was along the lines of the problem, yet among several dumb responses he totally ignored to add anything to this question. This seems more than likely then, and likely also eliminates USC as they recently lost a commit to not being able to take another early enrollee (and they only just recently realized this, so this happening to McQuay wouldn't be so hard to believe).
Of course, people like myself wonder why seniors that aren't playing anymore count toward your numbers in some bizarre way around early enrolling time. Well, at least I think this is the case, based on comments made last year as mentioned above. Who knows, but this is a VERY likely reason, and Webb said this same reason may have eliminated other schools...
December 30th, 2012 at 6:02 PM ^
Seniors that aren't playing anymore still count because they are still on scholarship. If they graduate in May, it would be really cold-blooded to make them pay their own way for their last semester after being on the team for 4 or 5 years while a new kid gets your scholarship.
December 30th, 2012 at 6:35 PM ^
it's against NCAA rules to pull a scholly mid-year.
December 30th, 2012 at 8:18 PM ^
Charlie Strong disagrees...
December 31st, 2012 at 12:59 AM ^
have to pay for their first semester I beleive.
December 30th, 2012 at 5:44 PM ^
December 30th, 2012 at 6:09 PM ^
I think there's just a cap on how many scholarships you can back date in a given year. I.e. some would count toward 2012 and some toward 2013 numbers depending on what the cap is
December 30th, 2012 at 6:11 PM ^
A school can have as many EEs as it wants. The entire class can enroll in January if they want. But only 3 of those can be backdated (i.e. count toward the previous class's limit of 25 enrollees).
December 30th, 2012 at 7:21 PM ^
December 30th, 2012 at 7:27 PM ^
Once they're enrolled they can participate in spring practice, etc. The issue is that you can only have 25 recruits in a given class, but if you didn't use all 25 in the last class, you can "backdate" up to 3 of your early enrollees to count toward the previous class.
