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.

That quote means nothing. If your kid was being recruited by another school, and a "beat writer" or whatever for that school interviews you, would you tell them after all the contact by the coaches and visits back and forth, "No, my kid doesn't want to go there". By saying, "I wouldn't be surprised if he chose Michigan" is as generic as it gets.

We were supposedly in prime contention for Rolle (along with FSU, Florida, Miami, Oklahoma and Penn State), and since he was maintaining that academics were very important to him, many UM fans thought he was in the bag for the 2006 recruiting class. Nobody who's stated they're serious about academics would choose those other schools over Michigan, right?

Rolle had a nice athletic and academic career down in Tallahassee. My money's on FSU winning this one too.

I agree totally—I pointed out that he had a nice academic experience at FSU. You missed my sarcasm. I've got two degrees from UM, but the notion that UM is the only school in the country where you can get a good education is simply dumb.

"Yeah ... I don't know [if Michigan still in consideration]. I don't know how many hats I'll have up there," he said. "My dad said he wasn't paying for five hats. I'll probably only have three hats up there.

 Unless he's building dramatic suspense, we're out of it.

Doesn't seem to be that kind of kid, in my view. Toss in the Dad (his Dad of all) outright claiming he isn't paying for hats that he'll simply toss aside/not pick up and I think that quote (if direct) means we're out. Now, obviously due to quote, I doubt we even have a hat. Probably FSU, Vandy and usc/Oregon (?).

Yeah, this one seems to be FSU all the way. I think Vandy is just not the football level he wants, usc has its issues and it appears he wants to stay warm and has his mind set on a major. I think we might have a hat on the table but FSU just seems to be that happy but not perfect medium he wants. I think weather/location and major keeps us from landing a legit kid who clearly does like us. I'd be happy to be wrong but I don't see him here. We'll know Friday (but likely before as with most recruits).
