I am very happy that these great young men who make this commitment to the University of Michigan now have great coaches who will challenge and guide them to be their best.

Glad you chose to share the link in here. Thanks.

Very well-spoken young man. So happy he has chosen Michigan to be his home for the next few years.

Very impressive. Have had a chance to meet Wheatley Sr. and not a surprise at all. I know I wasn't that composed, and articulate at 17. 

When it comes to this recruiting class, don't be surprised if we have a lot of three starts blossoming ala Mike Hart. 

The fact that JH got to scout and pick 8 of his players means alot to me, more so than the kids ranking. Also if you look at the kids we got today, I'd say 11-12 out of 14 had very impressive offer sheets.

for his commitment more than any of the others deciding today. He's a mature, focused young man who will represent the university well. And here's to hoping he burns a legacy as enduring as his dad's.

It's going to be interesting to see what position he is going to play at Michigan. I like the idea of him at DE, I watched a video of him at a camp in a 1v1's rushing drill, young man is real good with his hands to get off blocks and such.

But at the same time I think he'll see the field faster at TE

What a fantastic response to the fat-fingered man, who asks at the end whether T.W. Jr. doesn’t feel "a lot of pressure following in a father’s footsteps":

T.W. Jr.:  “I don’t really think it’s a lot of pressure.  I’m excited to walk in the same sand that he did, but not exactly in the same footsteps.  I’m going to work hard and hopefully build my own name and my own brand as well.”

Well said, T.W. Jr.

Well said.

That kid seems pretty damn bright, and I love to hear how passionate he is about working hard. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts at the 2nd tight end spot as good of a blocker
As he is. You never know about these things but TJ seems like the total package; smart, talented, althletic, physically imposing and a hard worker. Instantly my favorite Frosh!

I don't know that there's any other player in this class im more excited for than this kid. A terrific physical specimen with a great head on his shoulders. This is the kind of player that represents what Michigan football is all about. He epitomizes the characteristics that Harbaugh has been known to recruit...

Just listened to it and have to agree. Sounds like a confident kid who will bring some personality with him to A2. Loved what he was saying regarding OSU. Physically he kinda reminds me of Frank Clark when he first got on campus. He's got a bit more size though.

I'd have no problem allowing this young man to date my daughter.  (He might not consider it, due to the school she goes to... and yes.  It's THAT school.)

Glad the young man will be in Blue!

We're already there, my Blue Brother!  LOL

"You know that while I hope you do great, I will never root for your school to do well in anything."

She told me she wanted her school to lose the title game just because of what the idiot fans would do.  She was even lab partners with one of the players.

I will rub her nose in Michigan victories, and congradulate her when her school wins.

 

Go Blue.

Proud that he chose UM. Some of the photos of him during his OV gave me the impression that he wasn't very enthused about things. But in this smiling, confident yet humble video portrayal he reminds me somewhat of Denard. I think we're going to enjoy this kid on and off the field.
