could we ask the major "insider dudes" to all post a tweet about not tweeting recruits? Shit, can we get the school, ESPN, NCAA and staff to do it? Could we all post that most idiots doing this aren't real UM fans and are rival fans trolling recruits into thinking the fans of a school they like hate them? Some have come out but it needs to be said and spread on a mass scale, IMO.

The reliable trifecta of Ace, Steve L., and Steve W. all have ballz in for Asiasi, Gary, Hill, and Nordin to Michigan.  So, that is postive.  

Looks like there is consensus that Boss, Murphy, Simmons, and Pie will all end up elsewhere....If any of these four end up at Michigan, it'll be a mild surprise.  

Most seem to think that OL Alaric Jackson will end up in the class.

I will gladly take the first four guys mentioned, plus Jackson...and one surprise.  (could be VV??)  Yes, Please.  Feeling positive vibes.  Tomorrow is going to be a good day.

not sure which game youre referencing but i think asiasi is the better prospect.  though ive never understood the fascination with nauta - not just sour grapes bc hes a nice player, he just doesnt really stand out against the other top 10-20 TE prospects.  nauta doesnt have the freakish athleticism or crazy ceiling some seem to believe and one usually expects in #1 ranked prospects (eubanks has more of that ceiling than nauta).  asiasi isnt tony gonzalez level athlete but very few are.  

asiasi offers greater versatility and i think is a better addition than nauta wouldve been.  he moves well for such a large dude, has great hands, likes contact and has serious potential as blocker if he continues developing.  other than maybe not breaking as many tackles on film as might be expected, theres not much to criticize - the kids got game and hes harbaughs kind of player.  considering the late timing of this potential pickup, its a homerun

Nauta is a freak. There's plenty of camp film out there where he's dominating five star linebackers like Lyndell Wilson and Ben Davis. With that said, Asiasi is also a great player, and could be an even better defensive end than tight end if that's how things work out. Not too much of a difference between the two.

Yeah, I'll be very happy with Asiasi if it works out that way for us, but Nauta was on another level. He was reportedly harder to cover than the 5-star WRs at these camps. Asiasi is a great prospect too and offers some things that Nauta doesn't, but let's not try to justify this by saying Nauta isn't really that good. There's a reason TEs are almost never rated as highly as Nauta was this year.

The TE class went from McKeon to FUCKING AWESOME if Asiasi comes. I really like this TE class if we get him. Now it's time to talk Boss into coming.

Did you ever have to make up your mind? You gotta pick one and let the other one ride!! For those who appreciate a Lovin Spoonful reference...

Not only would Asiasi be the highest rated TE for us in this class, he's also the perfect compliment to McKeon and Eubanks who are much more slight in the 215-230 lb range.
