1 day 6 hours ago	For somebody who has spent a	For somebody who has spent a majority of his commenting time talking about movies, you sure are insistent that we should only talk about Michigan 'round these parts. http://mgoblog.com/users/we-are-borg Then, of course, there are the handful of "This is a Michigan blog" comments, along with "Commence Sparty whining."
1 day 7 hours ago	I think those jackasses are	I think those jackasses are who he's referring to with O$U, Ped State, etc.
1 day 8 hours ago	Looking back at past	Looking back at past MGoProfiles, it's sort of interesting to see how many guys who were "worthy" of them don't post here much anymore. TomVH, Formerly Anonymous, jamiemac, etc.
1 day 8 hours ago	They were there to recruit	They were there to recruit other kids and to ask why Mason Cole picked Michigan.
1 day 8 hours ago	Forcier's comments just make	Forcier's comments just make it funnier. If you make punk comments like that, you get what you deserve when you flunk out of school.
1 day 18 hours ago	I believe that rule has	I believe that rule has changed, so now players have to sit out the NCAA-mandated one year, but they can receive a scholarship after the transfer. If Justin Boren did his thing now, he wouldn't have had to pay his own way like he did a couple years ago.
1 day 18 hours ago	Chances are slim that he has	Chances are slim that he has changed that much in the past 7 or 8 months. While it's true that he might have developed and improved, so have the other players that I am using in comparison when I say that he looks like a linebacker.
1 day 22 hours ago	Hm. I guess I had forgotten.	Hm. I guess I had forgotten. Thanks for jogging my memory.
1 day 22 hours ago	I mean, the NCAA fines	I mean, the NCAA fines coaches who use chewing tobacco on the sideline, so this video seems a bit strange in that respect...
2 days 13 min ago	That video was largely devoid	That video was largely devoid of action. Also, if I'm Arizona's PR department, I don't know that I like the idea of putting all the coaches out there smoking, drinking, and playing cards. Not exactly a wholesome look. Also, I must have missed this several months ago, but Tony Gibson is no longer on Arizona's staff. WTF? I thought he and Rodriguez were boys. It looks like Gibson is back coaching the safeties at WVU.
2 days 23 min ago	Drue Tranquill highlights
2 days 23 min ago	I'm going to have to go ahead	I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with Josh Helmholdt here. I really think Tranquill is a future linebacker. He's kind of stiff and doesn't have great speed.
2 days 27 min ago	I believe the "senior year"	I believe the "senior year" starts with the first NCAA contest of the student's senior school year. So if the first NCAA football game is on August 27, then 2014 kids can start taking official visits on that date. AFAIK, students cannot receive scholarships to camps from the universities themselves. However, I believe high school booster groups can provide financial assistance for their athletes to attend camps. I think that's one reason why Ted Ginn (from Cleveland Glenville) has made a big name for himself, because he has taken large groups of his players on a bus to some of these camps. Somebody can correct me on that if I'm mistaken.
2 days 2 hours ago	I've mentioned this before,	I've mentioned this before, but Brennen Beyer isn't really projected to be Cam Gordon's backup. Beyer played over Gordon at SAM in 2011, and Beyer started at SAM over Gordon in the spring game. At no point has Gordon ever been ahead of Beyer on a depth chart. Personally, I prefer Gordon and want him to win the job, but the coaches seem to disagree with me.
2 days 2 hours ago	If you trust Braylon Edwards,	If you trust Braylon Edwards, his younger brother is going to win the Heisman and lead Minnesota to the Rose Bowl.
2 days 2 hours ago	He's originally from	He's originally from Illinois, so it makes sense. I think it's probably a good choice for him, too.
2 days 3 hours ago	Unofficial visits are	Unofficial visits are unlimited. You can have up to 5 official visits, but those can only be taken during a student-athlete's senior year. The school pays for the player and one other person (mom, dad, older brother, uncle, coach, etc.) to fly in and lodge on campus. Any high schooler can sign up for Michigan's camp. I haven't looked at their brochure this year, but I have looked at brochures for SEC and other Big Ten schools' camps a few weeks ago for one of our players, and cost of the camp would probably be in the neighborhood of $300 (depending on how many days the kid plans to stay). It's not cheap.

2 days 3 hours ago	As of now, yes. We'll see	As of now, yes. We'll see what happens in the next year and a half or so. I wouldn't be surprised if something changes, whether they tell him no thanks or they pursue a higher rated guy to compete with him (and perhaps chase him away).
2 days 6 hours ago	True. I think Sills is from	True. I think Sills is from Delaware, though.
2 days 6 hours ago	I wouldn't define it as	I wouldn't define it as "ridiculous." He has good hands and catches the ball well in traffic. But as an athlete (speed, leaping ability, change of direction, etc.), I just don't find him that appealing.
2 days 6 hours ago	(No subject)
2 days 7 hours ago	David Sills was offered as a	David Sills was offered as a 7th grader and committed to USC. It's kind of funny, because he's a 2015 kid and there are lots of good quarterbacks in the 2015 class . . . and he's not one of the top few guys. 247 Sports has him ranked as a 3-star and the #18 pro-style QB.
2 days 8 hours ago	Miller had better rushing	Miller had better rushing statistics than Hyde (more yards and higher YPC, though fewer TD's), and Miller is also a decent throwing QB (58.3% completions, 15 touchdowns, 6 picks).

2 days 20 hours ago	Yeah...what these superhero	Yeah...what these superhero movies need these days is more comedians. Orgazmo was just about the best superhero movie I've seen.
2 days 21 hours ago	I was expecting to see	I was expecting to see Braxton Miller shirtless when I clicked on this thread.
2 days 21 hours ago	Yeah, Kief is a tall	Yeah, Kief is a tall possession receiver. Harris is definitely more explosive.

Patrick enjoyed his visit and said that he hopes to come back. Usually if kids are extremely impressed, they say "I'll definitely be back" or something like that. So I don't know if he loved his visit exactly, but it was somewhat positive.
