What's the word on Willingham?

I just read on a Free Press (Lord forgive me) live blog that we lost out on him but can't find that information anywhere else.

Updates?

People think they know everything. Jernigan was a Gator fan growing up and was suppose to go to Florida but ended up at FSU. Marcus Roberson switched his committment like 3 times in 4 days. Recruits change their mind all the damn time.And how do people figure we lost out on him? He hasn't even committed/signed yet.

the GRPRESS is arguably worse.  It has become rabidly Sparty in the last few years.  It's basically a Sparty apologist, with a deeper and more more sinister bias than the Freep.  So glad I got the fuck out of Grand Rapids.  The only factor cutting in favor of the Freep being worse is that the Freep has a higher circulation.

He's announcing tomorrow but possibly signing before then. A lot of speculation that he'll go to Colorado based on some ambiguous facebook conversation that wasn't apparently relevant to anything.

Nothing concrete to suggest he's gone.

The signs seem to be pointing to Boulder. It's a pretty rational decision IMO. He'll get early playing time, CU is right by his high school( note to fun police Boulder is within a 30 minute drive of Denver for recruiting that's right by), and he's probably getting sold on being a key piece in rebuilding a proud program. If he's heading to CU then best of luck to him.

Their new staff is young, energetic, and full of good recruiters with NFL ties (like Bienemy, for example).  I would not be surprised at all to see those guys put together some good classes over the next few years, especially if they can improve to 7-8 wins next year and get some positive momentum on the field.

It is spelled HOKEAMANIA.  Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!

Yeah, but not when both programs can sell it and one is closer to home. There's also probably some peer/parental pressure as well.

If LW commits to CU, that means his parents, relatives, and friends can very easily see all his home games, and LW can easily come home on the weekends, holidays, etc. If he signs with UM, the distance and travel logistics make that sort of contact far more difficult. For some recruits, distance doesn't matter (Jake Fisher), but that doesn't mean it's universal.
