If there was going to be one "shocker, out of left field" pick up on signing day, what would your guess be? No basis for your wild ass guess needed, just fun on this one...
There always seems to be one...

Definitely 1 in a million, but you're saying there's a chance...

greg seems to have the magic
greg seems to have the magic touch on the defensive side of the ball. has he actually helped recruit any offense yet? just curious but on topic, with what i just said it will probably be a defensive player. I have a sick wish of zettel coming back on board but chances of that are about .0000000000000000001% IMHO

I'm lost without the smiley face. Sarcastic? Or asstastic? I just can't tell anymore...I'll go with the crowd and say sarcasm it is.

I don't think that guy's gonna be in this class. I think we have a pretty good idea who's going to finish the class.
However, if I had to pick one....well since this all seems like a fantasy anyway, let's go with Lawrence Thomas.

Barnett. We need TE's for our new offense, we're paper thin at that position, and every program of authority has offered him. A slam dunk, that one. If not him, Cooper, for obvious reasons.

Jadeveon Clowney
Since we aren't being realistic, Jadeveon Clowney. Mattison's been a monster in terms of recruiting so far, if anyone can turn a 0% into a 1% chance, it'd be him.
Barnett's not plausible?
Barnett's not plausible? Speaks ill of us, since he's visiting.

I'd hardly call Barnett a hail mary when he's visiting right before NSD and is considered soft to Arkansas (if even at all).

I'd be somewhat surprised if he signs with Arkansas. They've got two other TEs in the class, and from the way the scout boards are portraying it, he got 'rushed' into his decision to commit. That's not to say he'll come here, but it would surprise me if he signs with Petrino and staff

Who knows, though? Watkins
Who knows, though? Watkins signed with Clemson, who already had three WR, including two ranked hiher than him. Not that I see Barnett w/ the squeaky-pigs. But who knows who he winds up with? he's had plenty of offers. I don't think him visiting us last gives us the edge. Quite the opposite, really.
Don't quote laws to us. We carry swords.

I guarantee you that Sammy
I guarantee you that Sammy Watkins is more talented than any other Clemson WR signee...or signee period. Yes, that includes Charone Peake, Mike Bellamy, Lateek Townsend, and Martavis Bryant. You just cannot teach that speed.

Well...really, the point
Well...really, the point remains, though. Either he was fearless, or paid off, or just loved Clemson. My point, though, was Barnett has options, and doesn't know Michigan from Adam, other than enough interest to get him here. I'm not saying we CAN'T get him. My whole point is that he's my #1 choice. But if anyone's heard something about him showing us any preference, they're more informed than I.

He is friends with Antonio
He is friends with Antonio Poole from their visit to Miami (YTM) together. So that may be working to our advantage, plus our depth chart must help at least somewhat.
hmmm...
Apparently fearless is good business at Clemson...
...paid off you say?

If Watkins has more speed
If Watkins has more speed than Bellamy is can't be much. Bellamy is listed at a 4.31 on scouts and a 4.4 on rival. We play Charlotte High School every year so I assure you that there are not too many fakes out of 5 on those times.

It won't happen, but it would be really cool if Kris Frost had a change of heart on signing day.
Kris Frost
Just felt like looking at his facebook profile for old times sake, and while he is 100% auburn, it was nice to see his most recent status saying "yes michigan state lost to big blue!!!" of course he had to end it with "WAR EAGLE" ..
:/
My dad played for Woody Hayes, and therefore I am a Michigan fan.
No matter what, I will graduate with a degree from U of M one day.
Big blue?
Guess he wasn't that much of a fan.
Of course, I jest. I would have liked to seem him come to AA. Seems like a good kid. Best of luck to him.
On a serious note
I think it would be some awesome shit if Chris Barnett committed. With the new offense, TE is going to be important, and a guy as talented as Barnett could find himself in the rotation as a freshman. I think it's a bit of a longshot but would be huge.
I would also say Darian Cooper, but with the good vibes from GM's in-home, I'm starting to feel this wouldn't be a "Hail Mary" pick up.

Agreed, I think Cooper is pretty
Agreed, I think Cooper is pretty much a done deal this weekend. I think we get Clark and Willingham but my hope is we get Barnett and Fisher. Barnett I think may be the longer shot but would be a solid pickup. Having a 4* TE at 6'6" 245 would make a nice target for DRob.
I'm with you on Cooper
Any hail-mary has to have a chance to happen.
If anyone should know that .. it's Michigan fans :(
Jesus.
