Interview segments featuring TVH on Wolverinenation
Im sure many of you are going through Tomvh withdrawl while our new recruiting analysts begin to get their feet wet. I haven't seen these interviews posted yet featuring Tomvh on ESPN.

Good interviews. Would love to get O'Brien. That'd be a great 1-2 DT punch along with Pipkens. He said he's goingt to visit MSU for the Michigan game (Oct. 15), but said he is thinking of committing during his homecoming week which is Oct. 7 I believe. I don't know if I'm reading into it too much, but it might be a good sign for us.
As for Reschke, getting him and Gedeon would be a huge deal. Take those two and be done with LB recruiting. Although I believe that Reschke is believed to be a Spartan lean at this point.

Dany O'Brien looks like he would love a liter of cola
September 5th, 2011 at 6:04 PM ^
Sounded like Tom was going to say Mgoblog at the end before correcting himself
September 5th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
Old habits die hard. (But where's that vest?)
September 5th, 2011 at 6:12 PM ^
TomVH must be under 5'10" because I'm pretty sure O'Brien is 6'2". Also, me and Tom could pass as twin brothers.
September 5th, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
I was not impressed with O'Brien's film. He looks out of shape and sloppy. He doesnt look all that explosive and did not make many plays. He looks strong, but that can only get you so far. I would have liked to see him in better shape to start the season.
September 5th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
I have to disagree with your assessment of his playing shape. He looks like he is in pretty good shape right now, possibly good enough to take the field right now for Michigan. He does seem disinterested in the game and doesn't show much effort. I believe he plays for a small private school so he doesn't have much competition.
September 5th, 2011 at 8:05 PM ^
i disagree with your assessment of Flint Powers. they havent won a conference game since 2007.
September 5th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
How much film have you seen of him? His films at camps where he goes one on one with top linemen is very impressive. He's quick and strong, in addition to being nearly 300lbs already.
I haven't heard of conditioning issues with him, but if that's the case it can be corrected pretty easily, as long as he's willing. A lot of HS players who physically dominant don't get themselves in great shape. If that's the only knock on his game, the coaches will take care of it.
September 5th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
On-field performance aside, O'Brien seems like a pleasant person based on that one sample.
September 5th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
WHat in the hell is wolverinenation?
September 5th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
A nation inhabited by ferociouos little creatures?
September 5th, 2011 at 6:55 PM ^
weird seeing Tom have a voice. You see a guy write for a couple of years, it was kind of weird, though I thought he did well in front of the camera. Love ya Tom!
September 5th, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
I can't get the videos to work, anyone else have that problem?
September 5th, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
Can't find them on YouTube or by searching ESPN either.
Edit: Found it. Plays an ad so I won't embed, but here is the link. LINK
Edit2: Nevermind, they pulled it.

I'm pretty sure those videos were up by accident because they have now been taken down by ESPN. Oops.
September 5th, 2011 at 7:37 PM ^
They still work at the link I posted.

Perhaps it is supposed to be insider only?
September 5th, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
It worked for a few minutes. Bummer, must be insider stuff.
September 5th, 2011 at 8:00 PM ^
Nope. I have Insider and it doesn't work for me either. Maybe the much rumored ESPN Ann Arbor site is getting closer to being a reality. Would make sense if they did it this week with Gameday being in Ann Arbor.
September 5th, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
Don't suppose anyone downloaded the video?
September 5th, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^
Wish ESPN wouldn't call it Wolverinenation. Such a stupid term.
September 6th, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
FYI: The links work again.
Morris has a very tight spiral and a huge arm. He throws the ball 50 yards from one knee... and 80 yards normally. Wow!
