will not allow me to not be bummed missing on some of our biggest targets. Yet, I cannot help but think about how the future is so very bright at Michigan! All elements considered I am amoung many who believe Harbaugh and hist staff(s) (his staff members will be sought after and will change each year) will bring the best! From staff personel, scheme, scholar athletes, work ethic, etc. we will be celebrating many victories as well as BIG time wins!

True. We've all seen far too many "can't misses" miss and unknowns become important contributors to get really bummed out at this stage about a kid.

Has anyone seen a list of schools with #of commits? We must be right towards the top. I also find it very encouraging that we were in on so many of the elite kids right up until the end. The staff knows talent and elite talent is giving us a good fair look. That will grow as Harbaugh builds the program. Does anyone think Eno is lurking to commit pending the outcome of that other guy?

on his 1st run. Nice play by Brown the NW DE commit. I can see why Harbaugh made a late run at him.

Samuels is quicker. Benjamin is tougher. I'd probably take Benjamin.

we were only taking another HB is an absolute must take type of player. I think we'll stick with what we have and possibly even lose another HB already committed.

Several more ballz to ASU for him today

Unrelated, seeing Darnay Holmes ballz revert all the way back to UCLA is interesting. If true, would be a long way round to the team everyone assumed in the first place

There's apparently a pregame show at 12:30 on NBCSP (channel 206 on xfinity).

Hey it looks like my NBC affiliate and Directv kissed and made up from their little spat as it looks like it is back on after a week off the air. May have to watch part of the game now.

Anyone else hearing the rumors of TY Wheatley Sr. to WMU? Maybe JH should consider making him the co-oc.. He's the top recruiter in college fball and a huge part of our success IMO.

No. He's just a RB coach. Not passing game coordinator material.

He always wanted to move up. Was never going to be around for the long haul. Especially after Harbuagh didn't go with him when a higher spot on the offensive side opened up.

This was my fear.

It's a natural fit. Hopefully he stays.

If it happens, maybe it explains the switch back to Bama for ***** ******? Kidding. Kind of.

1) Wheatley may be the new WMU head coach; 2) Charles Huff (Penn State RB coach) may be our new RB coach; 3) Harris may have been a silent commit to us before this week, but may or may not be anymore (not sure if the possible Wheatley move affects this at all); and 4) Your momma's teeth so yellow, we can't believe it's not butter. All just word on the street, so take it for what it's worth.

Has WD snuck into the locker room and if so what color underwear is Najee Harris wearing? It's a critical clue to his decision!

I hear the cabbie's nephew had green polo on...Harris to Sparty - that would give them a grand total of 1 player in this game.

the interaction between NH and Dylan when DM asked NH if he was ready? Looked to be a pretty comfortable reaction between both. I know reading body language, we were bound to do it all day though, right?
