Rumor: QB Gunner Kiel delays decision because of Michigan
The Scout boards are blowing up right now about a rumor. Based on the paywall policies, I won't go into much detail. But the facts are this: Gunner Kiel was set to announce Sunday. This decision has been delayed. The rumor is that Michigan might have something to do with that. Conventional wisdom had been that after Gunner watched Shane throw at the OSU elite 11 camp, he cooled on Michigan, and was likely going to pick Oklahoma. But I guess, we're not done yet.
Still might be tough to land, but something to keep an eye on. If he visits, there's Hoke.
Stay tuned...
Has anyone heard about some friction between Denard and Devin? A friend of mine told they had to be separated as roommates?
At this point I don't even know what to say anymore about what Brady Hoke is doing.
As long as Kiel (hopefully) is the only QB in this class and Morris is the only QB in the next class, I dont see either of them getting scared away. If Kiel and Morris were going to be in the SAME recruiting class I do think that eventually one would end up looking elsewhere, however that is not the case in this hypothetical situation. Most highly rated QB recruits understand that there are going to be scholarship QBs already on the roster of any team they choose, and there are going to be more scholarship QBs that will commit to the school they chose in the following recruiting classes. I really hope Gunner chooses Michigan, that name is too Bad Ass, especially for a QB. GO BLUE!!!
whoops wrong thread.
I mean, you can't turn the guy down if he comes but...too many cawks in the hen house is never a good thing.
and yes, hilariously hilarious. Nicely done.
It looks like the Michigan rumors might have been false. According to Miles Fomby's Twitter
MilesFomby Miles Fomby: QB Gunner Kiel not deciding on Sunday tells me he was planning on committing to Alabama then a trip to Norman made him rethink some things.
In fairness though, that doesn`t indicate that he`s talked to Kiel. He may be right but the thing with Kiel is that he plays things very close. Doesn't do a lot of interviews, has never released a list, has no real outside advisors. I don't think anyone but his family is going to know for certain where he's going until he announces. In any case, if he holds off then that can only be good for us because consensus seemed to be he wasn't picking us if he announced this weekend.
thinks every prospect in the history of ever is about to commit to Alabama.
i kind of hope we don't take a qb in this class and take 2 wr. I know we have a lot of wr, and no disrespect to them, but how many after this year are elite wr? maybe none. we know that barring injuries you only need one elite qb, but you need more than one really good wr, how else are we going to have 2 wr with over 1500 yards?
This year we should be fine, as well as next year. But it's the year after that, 2013, that could be troubling. If we don't get a couple guys in this class then our upperclassmen that year would be Jeremy Jackson I think and a few underclassmen. So yeah, WR is a big priority if we want depth after 2012
Gunner may be second guessing himself in our favor he is on my Top 3 wishlist come check out the latest updates at
