Sounds like Oregon was happy with him, but basically needs bodies on defense. They basically said we can't afford to sit on you and miss out on other guys. I think they fill his spot with a defensive prospect and don't really push for Crawford.
There are a few greyshirt candidates and insiders seem to think several of our committed guys won't qualify academically at the end of the day. Those names are known, but being kept quiet out of respect to the recruits (as that's obviously not a good situation to be in).
I use 24/7 because of Steve. He may not have every scoop out there, but he is conservative in his takes and seems to genuinely care about his subscribers. Also, skewing young seems like a good buisiness decision to me.
False. A recruit (forgot who) started the idea while on the visit and the staff ran with it. Way too early for the staff to be gunning for 25 in the class.
Costello is visiting in a few weeks, and if Michigan passes the "winter" test then he will commit on the visit. He would be the biggest recruit in the class given all his connections to other top athletes in CA.
No way we get less than 3. The recruiting guys are playing it close to the vest so as to not ruin the announcements, but they all are hinting heavily that we are in for a good day.
Some of the 11W staff seem to think there is a grassroots movement in Detroit to keep players out of Ohio St. Somehow they are ok with them going to Miami, but not Ohio St.
It would be nice in a way for the coaches to call these bluffs. I am sure 90% of them no longer have committable offers anymore, seeing as how we only have 5-7 spots left.
I think we get Jefferson, Perry (obviously), Wheatley Jr, and I still think Clark. By all indications he's looking for attention (not saying he shouldn't) and I don't think announcing UCLA at 5:30 am is quite the splash he'd be looking for. Not going to worry about Weber, I don't even know if he has made a decision yet.
Yeah. I'll wait till we hear before passing judgement on the use of amazing. I really hope this is about one of our top targets and not a preferred walk on.
It's an odd strategy. He is committed to Wisconsin as a CB and he prefers to play CB in college, yet we come in at the 11th hour and offer as a RB? Also odd given how we are probably going 0 for 3 on our CB targets.
Are people still confident we will hit our 15-17 recruit target? Looks like Neal is staying with Nebraska, so that would be another option off the board.
The sky isn't falling. We still have a good shot at Clark, Gentry, Wheatley Jr., and several of the Nebraska commits. Outside shot at iman Marshall. Plus, Weber knows UM and I think an in-home with Harbaugh would be as good as a visit.
Don't know if we will get any of these players, but feel just a twinge guilty since Mora had nothing but nice things to say about Harbaugh to UM when all the NFL types were doing their thing.
He is doing it on ESPN campus, not at his school. I agree that it's ok to have fun and enjoy, but just come out and say so. Don't say you are struggling with the decision.
Certainly likes the attention. I was always of the opinion that if you know then you should say out of courtesy to all involved. Who knows, maybe he needs every last minute to decide.

The quotes are from mom, so not ESPN druming up interest. Even if he said he decided they aren't going to tip the hand.
Nope, you aren't confusing anyone. Elliott is the one who went on about UM only.
Well, all the people that thought this idea was creepy just got some more fodder.

Jordan Elliott is a legit DT/DE hybrid.
Yeah, I think it's no accident that an OSU committ that wanted his visit to be a secret had the news broken by an OSU recruiting site.
I've got Michigan 24-3. I think it will be 10-3 or 7-3 at the half and then the NW defense runs out of gas in the second half.
Of course that question was asked by Baumgardner.

Clearly they need to have a "Throwing 50 yards into heavy wind while coming reasonably close to hitting a basket" award.
First Hackett decision I do not agree with.

Hill was on an unofficial to UM today according to PSU sources. There are thoughts that he will flip, but it might be awhile.
I fully expect to beat MSU next year, and the Ohio St. game will be a competitive affair (a la the Hoke years), where we can win if we limit mistakes.

Wow, that's a great deal. I understand the ceremony associated with homecoming, but that's typically not a great game.

Also, Wheatley Jr. announcing at 3:15 EST, obviously with his dad on the staff the coaches will know ahead of time and can plan accordingly.

Um, chopnation=Rutgers. Nothing in this tweet would indicte just UM and Wisconsin.
Good thing we have such a large Adidas contract. It allows us the opportunity to donate hats for signing day "decisions" everywhere.

I'm going to say Grant Perry.
Booker just pulled out of his visit, so we can take that name off the list
We will have a full class, but have to wait till signing day to sort them out. Really wish we had more spots.
It's a small class and 2016 is absolutely loaded. We don't need to reach on prospects.
Scout and 247.
Harbugh currently meeting with Weber too, so that ship hasn't quite sailed.
This just gets more bizzare. Would have accepted on the spot if offered as a CB. I hope that means Harbaugh feels good about our CB offers.
Well, Steve Lorenz just heard that he is taking the official. Maybe we land him.

Suck it Nebraska.
I never want to lose to Nebraska in any sport ever again.

High school kid=recruiting insider? Ok.

Nevermind. The Vols OC is headed to Tampa
So CMU coach leaves to be OC at an SEC school and then SEC OC leaves to be HC at CMU? Gotta love it.
I was just going to joke that I hope he gets named a captain one day.
We only have 6 current recruits. We won't end up at 93, but we probably won't crack top 25 either with such a small class.
Don't know if we will get any of these players, but feel just a twinge guilty since Mora had nothing but nice things to say about Harbaugh to UM when all the NFL types were doing their thing.

I am guessing it will be blocked within the hour once someone in the AD realizes.
Just needs to be in time to enroll in his grad classes, so the deadline would depend on school and degree/department.
