It was reported earlier by TomVH and Sam Webb, that Yuri Wright would not be visiting this weekend.
Our old friend Tim says that both Yuri and his coach say he will be here this weekend. To have both the coach and player say they still plan on attending this close to the actual date is well, weird. I'm not certain of what is going in with this recruitment, but nothing really adds up.

You
I wish I weren't in a public computer lab
so I could post the obligatory "ah, F*** it" Corso picture in response. Thanks for the update.
Oh hell
im so confused.
I hope those who were bagging
I hope those who were bagging on the kid show up and apologize. I was ashamed to read some of the comments on the last thread. It looked like bucknuts after they lost Kalis (well not quite, but still...).

How were people insulting
How were people insulting him? All I saw were people vaguely saying he had potential character issues, and that he projects more to a safety, which we don't need at this point.
I am...kinda...confused....'n' stuff

Word on the street is that
Corso is telling Wright "Ah fug it, go ahead and commit to Michigan Yuri"
"I'm not a vegetarian b/c I love animals. I'm a vegetarian b/c I hate plants"
Completly conjecture on my
Completly conjecture on my part -- Hoke said no thanks, his coach is coming along to convince Hoke/Mattison that Yuri is a good fit or explain any character issues that may have come up.
The kid is a 5* talent, sign him up!

Screw Lance.
that's not a crazy idea, but
that's not a crazy idea, but i don't think that kind of stuff happens in recruiting. a coach might make a real effort to sell an unknown talent, but not someone with the pub and track record of yuri wright. i think that if we told his coach that we didn't want him that they'd move on. that said, who the hell knows what's going on.
...buckle up.

A few of the recruitniks on this site might start trying to track any airplane flights or other travel plans you have!!!!!!
Posts like these make me
Posts like these make me happy that I've stopped following recruiting very closely.
I wish I has the discipline
To stop like you but it's kind of like an addiction that I need to get my fix on.
It's sorta like Christmas
It's sorta like Christmas when you were a kid. You couldn't stop yourself from checking out the presents under the tree. You'd size them up trying to guess what would fit in that package or pick them up to feel the weight and of course the shake. Anything to get clues as to what's behind the paper.
Same. It's just not worth it
Same. It's just not worth it to bother about potential until the kids have signed.
or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
me so confuzed
dood, if you stopped following recruiting so closely, why did you post a comment on the "Update on Yuri Wright," unless like you actually wanted to know the update. On a recruiting matter.
or are you like me. i don thave a problem. i dont have a problem. i dont have a pr... WAHHH? YURI WRIGHT ISNT COMING? GEE I HOPE REEVES KNOWS ROOF SUCKS AND BASICALLY GOT FIRED AT AUBURN!!!
I still follow recruiting,
I still follow recruiting, but this year haven't paid much attention to guys until they actually committed.
Agreed. I still refuse to
Agreed. I still refuse to read anything 2013 related unless it's a commitment, though this leadup to signing day is all we have footballwise now.
Glad he's still visiting
We need all the help at Corner that we can get. Can't have enough starters/depth
between him and reeves going
between him and reeves going back and forth I'm getting a headache. thank god Garnett doesn't play games
Just to clarify
I'm not doubting Sam Webb and Tom, I would tend to side with their reports at this point. I'm just confused that both coach and player still say he's visiting. This reminds me of the week before the NFL draft, where you can't believe anything you hear.
Corso should be saying,
Corso should be saying, "Awwwww fuck it".
Also, even though I am a Rivals member, they dropped the ball on this Yuri Wright thing. I would go with what TomVH / Sam say over them on this one for sure.
Tim was hinting as much that he might not visit earlier by saying "We have to go with what the coaches tell us, and that's what they're telling us" (quote inexact, but jest is there)
"to make a complete evaluation off video w/o seeing guys in-person - I don't believe that at all." - Josh Helmholdt
While that may be true...
Who told Tom and Sam that Yuri wasn't visiting? I'd think it'd be the coach to tell them, but maybe Wright did? Hell, I'm drawing a blank.
I don't have Scout, and Tom
I don't have Scout, and Tom said he will have the full story out tomorrow.
Safe to trust Tom in this situation and just trust that tomorrow we will know why. Also, that list on Rivals has Sam Grant as a maybe while TomVH has confirmed.
I will ALWAYS trust Tom with recruit visit info over the other sites, that is his specialty. ESPN still has a sucky format, and their rankings are a joke.

Why is it such a problem to
Why is it such a problem to let him come and visit? He is not taking someone else's spot on the visit. Hear him and his coach out. This school has someone we are interested in for next year and I am sure more down the line. What can it hurt?
He's in. He's out. He's in again. He's out again.
This recruitment is starting to resemble a date with Kobe Bryant.

I don't know shit about
I don't know shit about recruiting, which pretty much qualifies me as an insider, but maybe both coach and player felt compelled to comment to address the possible innuendo circulating
Every year there seems to be one player....
whose recruitment seems like an up and down roller coaster or even a mini-soap opera. You don't know what's going to happen next. This year we've had both Dunn and Wright to drive the "idle speculation" meter to the top of the dial. Hopefully, Wright's situation will be settled before signing day. It's starting to give me a headache.

Hey...
Wouldn't it be cool if Ace had something to add to this conversation?
It would be cool if YOU had something to add to the conversation...
Hmm
Well, it would be "cool" if Yuri committed to MICHIGAN and then turned into Marlin Jackson.
I am drunk, or I wouldn't be talking to you.

It's clear you have no idea how difficult it is to gain the contacts and trust with these kids, especially with recruiting information becoming such a competitive market. It took Tom a long time to get to that level. Ace has done a great job in such a short time.

It took Tom a long time to get to that level.
No it didn't. All Tom did was Facebook stalk Anthony Fera and cold-call recruits' parents. If someone really wants to do this (which, why?) it's not hard.

Dam, straight, I want my money back from this place...
Um, how much did I pay to get in here again?
Woes let's all complain about something someone is giving us for free...Ace has been doing this for a short period of time, cut the guy some slack. Want tomvh? Go pay for him.
Damn free internet recruiting
Damn free internet recruiting news. Damn free blogs that i'm forced to follow with their damn free reporters and updates to me. Damn Ace and the fact he's not TomV.
My needs have not been adequately met on this issue. Please see that I am quickly and professionally taken care of and that all my recruiting questions are answered promptly and free of charge.
What he said!
Right!! I want my freedom back! /s

armani reeves just postponed his penn state visit this weekend..
Wait
He is canceling, or wait now he is visiting....... Awww fuck it Corso style.
