Wiltfong says Pickard Decision "Soon"

Submitted by alum96 on

With how UM was his dream school apparently I actually thought DE/TE Wiscy commit Pickard would be the first to fall this weekend.  But it sounds like we will have an answer very soon.  It would seem to bode well. 

 

A final decision likely coming soon for DE Jake Pickard following this weekend's official to #Michigan: http://t.co/eLGdEQbjx3 @TremendousUM

IMHO, Wheatley has to make his own choice, no matter that his Dad is here now. I am sure the staff has said your welcome, but you have to compete and his positions will be two of the most competitive groups on the team.



And, we have to recruit as if he's not coming. They will make room for him no matter what, but my guess is that there are probably only two slots being "held", one for Marshall and one for Clark.

It will be interesting to see, assuming we get Pickard, does that still leave room for Wheatley and Clark?  Do we have room for a DE, TE and 2 DE/TEs?  I assume we could take all those guys plus 1 CB which would cover our needs, but that's a lot of players at TE/DE in a small class.

It is very hard to see us turning away Clark or Wheatley though.  Maybe the coaches know something we don't about one of them.

I wonder if there was a difference in vibe and mood between the group that visited this weekend compared to last weekend. Just judging from pictures, I get the feeling this group really got swept up into Michigan atmosphere.

Pickard is a guy I am really hoping for. He seems like a hard worker who will really take the coaching, and has enough talent for that to matter.
