Zeke Pike to make decision this week per 247Sports
SWiltfong247 Steve Wiltfong
this is my first comment on here but i think we should zeke as a LB and not a QB
This is a bold first comment.
That's a bold move, Cotton, well see if it pays off.
He would get raped there.

From what I understand, Mattison is very familiar with zeking and once the defense has gotten the fundamentals, he will incorporate zeking into the LBers gameplan. Borges on the other hand has said ( I don't remember where it was qouted so forgive me) that Denard has enough to learn this offseason and zeking will not become part of his skillset. I guess, in short, the coaching staff agrees with you.
FWIW, mods on Auburn boards are pretty confident Pike picked AU. A shame, if true.
Does anyone have links to any publically available Auburn boards, just to see the other side of the argument?
Denard Robinson hasn't shown a thing in Al Borges' offense. Devin Gardner hasn't done much, either.
I'm not so sure Michigan's QB situation is as settled as people want to dream it is. Pike would come in, and if good enough--he'd be in the running, especially if he is more of a fit for Borges' offense than the other two.
Well I for one am glad we are only giving DRob a few weeks of practice in a new scheme before saying he's shown nothing. Might as well cut him with all the other players who have not adjusted yet... the entire team. /s
Well your point is technically true, but lackluster performance in the spring game doesn't spell lackluster performance for the entire season. Give the team another couple months to learn it before judging their talents in it.
As for our QB position, I'd say that Denard/Devin have the starting QB spot on lock for the next two years, minimum. If Pike came in, he absolutely wouldn't start next year, barring injury.
Speaking of Kaleb Ringer I just went on his rivals page and it lists him as a soft verbal. Does anyone know why this is the case?
http://rivals.yahoo.com/michigan/football/recruiting/player-Kaleb-Ringe…
rivals did that after the premature article came out and they just haven't changed it yet
They put that status on there when the Dayton Daily News story came out early, so I'm sure they just haven't updated it yet.
TomVH posted on twitter that he's heard two different things regarding Pike (I believe). This is probably why he has a weird feeling about the situation. As much as I'd love to have Pike, I'd be ok with picking up another qb like Bellomy to add depth and then get Morris next year. Two more years of DRob, then two with DG, then three with Morris. But if we pick up Pike then Morris will go elsewhere. I'd be happy with either of them.
His dad went to G. Tech. As much as I'd like to see him go Blue, I'm thinking it's Auburn.
<br>My first post... Thank you in advance for any well wishes.
Your first post, and it's something meaningless and makes no sense.
I award you no points. May god have mercy on your soul.
My first Mgoblog prayer! WOW!

We need BKFinest to say that he heard Pike is definitely going to Auburn.

My 5 year old Zeke is so excited for Wednesday. I've said before he asks me out of the blue at least once a week of that other Zeke is going to Michigan. Either he will be very happy on Wednesday or I get to use this as some sort of parental lesson.

all im going to say is pikes good as gone. talked to his girlfriend and hes already got his bags practically packed for auburn. sorry mgoblog, but hes gone
April 18th, 2011 at 11:28 PM ^
by "talked" did you mean look at profile picture and assume because he was wearing auburn stuff it was auburn?

A recruiting source states that they've heard Auburn as well (note: no relation to Kaleb Ringer)
Where's the Dayton Daily reporter when you need him.

<br>Kidding. Hope Zeke enjoys the spotlight.
Either way blue is gonna be ok.
