New Commit for recruiting class of 2029
Lucas Stephen Johnson is the newest commit to Michigans 2029 recruiting class. His father, who posesses no athetic talent whatsoever, is very hopeful that Luke will take after his elders, a number of whom are over 6'4" and 275 lbs
Most interesting, while my wifes OBGYN was finishing up the stitches she noticed my Michigan t-shirt (everyone notices here in Columbus) and she proceeded to tell me that although she was an OSU alum, she is now "100% rooting for Michigan". The reason? She grew up in Kettering, OH and was the captain of the cheerleading squad at Fairmont East High School when Brady Hoke was the captain of the football team (I knew he was from Kettering, had never heard of Fairmont East, I looked it up, and she was right. I'm inclined to believe she wasn't b.s. ing). She also added that she has been friends with Laura Hoke since they were both 12 years old.
She could not say enough nice things about both Coach Hoke and Mrs. Coach Hoke. She said that Coach Hoke is exactly as we all see him to be, honest, hard working, and a phenomenal person with a wonderful family.
I know, I know..."Cool story, Bro", but please forgive me. This is the first baby for my wife and I and I was already excited, and being able to tie this day to Michigan Football and the tremendously tremendous Coach Hoke just made it that much better
Congratulations! O-Line or D-Line?
because by then we will be the #1 Defense in the land, for the 15th year running
Cheers!
Congrats!
Congrats to you and your mrs.
and cool story!
Good looking baby!
he takes after his mother. I waaaaaaaay outkicked my coverage on that one and thank my lucky stars every day
congratulations to you as well! Best of health to your family
Congrats!
if so, then I do have some atheletic ability. If not, then I got nothin
perfect response to a terriffic post. well done.
GBOD!
is.....great..................................
Congratulations! looking forward for that class
If he ends up being 5'8" 160lb, remember, we could use kickers too. :) And those guys get $400,000 per year in the NFL.
Congrats to you and your family on the new addition!
and his mother and I wont have to worry about concussions
This is true, but you do have to worry about torn ACLs, especially if your last name is Gramatica
So how does this affect the rest of our 2029 class? I'm thinking we need to pick up an elite LB and WR. Those seem to be our biggest need for that class.
I think it really moves up the decision timeframes for a lot of infants and fetuses, they'll have to grab a spot while it's still available or regret their lost opportunity until they graduate from preschool.
EDIT: Also, congrats!
Tremendous!
by less than six degrees of seperation Brady Hoke helped deliver your 1st born son. Well done M family, well done.
Hello: Lucas Stephen Johnson
been up since 3am...im surprised im not drooling on my keyboard
That's an awful long time to be hitting F5 waiting for that HELLO post, congrats.
Beautiful!
Great looking kid you got there! Health and Happiness to you and yours, thanks for sharing.
is very unimpressive. Has low pad level because of lack of height, but mostly just lays there and cries instead of rushing the QB.
Much like Kyle Kalis I'm sure scout will knock him and tell him to work on him "arm length".
/s
Congrats to you and your Mrs.
Congrats man. My little linebacker from the class of 2028 just turned 1 a couple weeks ago (for those of you familiar with this stuff, he's 34" tall and weighs 30lbs). You've got a big year in store, and as long as you've got ample patients, it will be the best.
Happy Belated Birthday to our future linebacker!
How many patients will he need?
What if he is neither a doctor or a nurse?
How will he get his hands on patients?!!
(insert Hoke/touch comments here)
AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
(just playing with a common spelling switchup)
Haha, awesome mistake by me. I sell medical devices, and in emails and other notes I type the word "patients" a thousand times a day. Muscle memory, I guess.
But no, you do not need patients to raise a child. Unless you are a doctor and you need patients to earn money, then you do because babies are expensive.
Dude, you should think of perhaps directing him toward the o-line or d-line if his size keeps on that trajectory. I have quadruplet 3 year olds (3 boys and a girl) and the biggest of the boys isn't a whole lot bigger than your one year old and he is in the 95 percentile for his age in both weight and height. That is pretty incredible for a one year old.
Oh, and congrats to the OP. You guys are lucky your kids are younger because my 3 boys are taking up all three LB spots in the class of 2026.
It sounds like he's well on his way. I've got a son that turned 1 on June 24 that according to his pediatrician is a pretty big kid, but he's only 26lbs and (best I can recall) like 31 inches tall.
Get him playing golf. You make more money playing golf than you ever would in the NFL
I took my old irons and cut them down and had them regripped and put them in my old Ping Hoofer bag. He may end up looking like a bear waving a toothpick though
If money is the driving force I would say European Football is the way to go. They make more money than golfers and NFL players.
Not likely....interesting article here on labor agreements in other sports vs. golf earnings.

Glad to welcome another Michigan fan to the local fold! Congratulations!
The problem with Ohio . . .
is that it's full of Ohioans!
From one UofM alumn married to an OSU alumn, congrats. May the Gods keep your son safe and the wolves in the hills.
You are married to an OSU Alumn?! You are:
1) Crazy!
2) Have balls to deal with her family as i would suspect they are all OSU fans
3) Lucky because she must be smoking hot! (but i dont think they have them at OSU)
4) Crazy!
I joke I joke.
and although I think all four apply, No. 2 is probably the most true.
I'm slowly converting her though.
Make sure you bring this post up again when your son score the first TD for Michigan.
TIm is very belated on this Hello: post..
Congratulations, though! Best of luck to you and your family
