He's been to Auburn, Georgia,
He's been to Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee, and probably other schools since he visited us. I believe he was at Auburn this past weekend

Given the timing
Probably Georgia?
There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.
I'd be a little surprised if
I'd be a little surprised if it was. My understanding is that Pike wants an opportunity to play early. But Georgia doesn't really provide that. Murray will be the starter for two years and then it's Pike vs. LeMay/Anyone else they recruit/is on the roster. Our situation isn't much better with DG here but that's still only 1 year of Denard then open competition.
He eliminated UGA

His main choices appear to be
Auburn, Michigan, or Pitt. He is just off a visit to Auburn this weekend. Any one else have guesses or good information on his final list?
Brady Hoke - High quality recruits one or two at a time.
Main Choices...
Where did you get that list? I know I'm going to get negged for this, but he's come back from almost every visit saying the things he said after his Michigan visit. I think people are over-estimating our chances here. Some heavy hinting on twitter says it's Auburn

How 'bout I punchisize your face, for free.
Except he then said it wasn't Pike 5 minutes later:
@jeramye Zeke Pike is deciding this week and I like Auburn's chances, but that is not the prospect I am talking about.
Ok, well if that one doesn't

Yeah it was more or less
Yeah it was more or less sarcasm, but if we don't get him I won't lose any sleep over it. Like Hoke said not everyone will choose to come to Michigan, all they can do is show them what a great place Michigan is and the opportunities that come with it. This isn't the first big time recruit to not pick to go Blue and it won't be the last, in time we will get someone else like Pike.

Why would the #2 ans #3 pro style quarterbacks this past year sign with USC since they are on probation???

Hopefully good news comes out
Hopefully good news comes out of his decision for us. He is going to be a good QB and I would rather have him on our team than another. Could this be another piece to the Mega Class? I sure hope so.

Version 2.0?? Yes please. Go blue Mr. Pike.
Nothing against Henne
but I want someone who will beat OSU.
Henne played well against

Henne did play against the
Henne did play against the two OSU teams to go to the national title game as well. All 4 years were BCS teams, not the best years to play against OSU.

I guess leading the team to score 39 points
on the road against then No. 1 OSU in 2006 just isn't good enough for you. Henne should have been out there on defense stopping OSU!
NOW THAT WOULD BE A REAL QUARTERBACK /s

A kid goes on numerous visits, then a rumor makes the rounds this weekend during his Auburn visit that he committed to their coaches, and then he halts his recruitment and schedules a news conference.
Fill in the blanks. This kid is likely committing to Auburn on Wednesday.
Agreed
The only question really is how big is the signing bonus.
hmmmmm...
Cost of doing business is going up...all it cost Tressel for Pryor was a Hyundai, a couple of loaners and a few tats.

I'll add to that
Apparently, the Auburn QBs filling Cam Newton's shoes have not particularly impressed. The quarterback position being up for grabs makes it more likely that Auburn's the place for Pike.

Apparently, though, he loved Arkansas
http://recruiting.arpreps.com/2011/04/05/zeke-pikes-take-on-arkansas/ He also said he got some advice from Mallett... so, you know, there's that.
hmmmmm...
Advice from Mallett indeed.

The possibility exists
that the visit exposed something he didn't like, like possible sanctions, or improprieties, or some stupid hawk attacked his mom even though the mascot's a tiger or something like that.
Hey Mrs. Pike... we don't have any hawks.
plan B
I want Pike to come but if he doesn't I'd use his spot to make sure we could take both Bolden and Ross should they both want in. Since Devin would only be a RS FR I wouldn't take a QB this year and make it even more attractive to Shane Morris next year.
You take a QB EVERY. SINGLE.
You take a QB EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.
Didn't 2008 make this clear to you?
Agreed. I can't handle any
Agreed. I can't handle any more lack of QB depth.
...especially when you only
...especially when you only have three scholarship quarterbacks.
I don't understand this mentality. People want to go 4-deep at every linebacker position, and then they want to skimp on the QB position, which is the most important spot on the field, bar none.
If we take four linebackers this year, we will have 13 linebackers to fill 3 spots.
If we take zero quarterbacks this year, we will have 3 quarterbacks to fill 1 spot.
It's logic, people. We will take a quarterback, and we SHOULD take a quarterback.
And it's not like it is Pike
And it's not like it is Pike or bust. I agree, we will be getting a QB, even if we pick up 4 LBs.

exactly, a lot of depth this
exactly, a lot of depth this year
Current Smug rating: "lethal"
Ratio
Unless we switch to a 3-4 down the road, the ratios would be essentially the same at that point. Plus QB's don't play STs.
Now that I've plaid devil's advocate, completely agree that it would be borderline fireable offense to not take a QB this year. It's not an option.
It is an option to take 4 highly rated LBs this year given our desperate need of defensive high end talent. If LB is where the talent is this year, take it and go with it. I'd rather have four 4* LBs and one 4* DT than three 4* LBs and one 4* DT + one 3* DT.
who is this logic you speak

Srsly great if we get him but at least we find out now and dont waste 6 months recruiting him to get jilted @ the alter.
Blue is Faster
This is rather embarassing for you, isn't it?
Just create a new log on already and save everyone from your over the top rants on RR as an attempt to save face for your lack of good judgement on the creation of your current one.
Edit: Also, it would be a good time to pick an avatar that doesn't induce seizures.
All right Lemmings. Bring the heat.
His user name makes his rants
His user name makes his rants about RR comical. But, he does have a point about taking a LB vs a QB.

Purdue?
LOL
You're HIV-Aladeen.
Just saw this as well. Very interesting, gotta figure Michigan is in good position with the visits and the way the QB's played in the spring game. Anyone know where he was at this weekend on his final stop?
