Jordan Payton [facebook hint]
I know i will get negged for this, but i am on Facebook and saw Jordan Payton added University of Michigan to his education. I am not trying to read too much into this, but i am hoping he does indeed come to Michigan.
GO BLUE!!

Good move. Make sure you do the same on Dunn's wall.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
C'mon muthafucka!!
Even if it is true that he is tipping his hand about committing to Michigan, let it be. Give the kid his special day.

but Jordan Paytons school plays Westlake Village on Fox Sports tomorrow at 10:30 eastern standard time. according to my dish network channel time guide.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:56 PM ^
These are two of Southern California's best high school programs.
<br>
<br>Oaks has been a PAC 12 pipeline (USC, ND, Stanford, Oregon, UCLA,...)
<br>
<br>Westlake should win the game. Last year Westlake won in the regular season and Oaks avenged the loss win a win in the CIF Championship Game.

I scanned through the thread, and didn't see the following link about Payton's invitation to the Army All-American Bowl:
http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1274937
In the article (non-paywalled,) it mentions that Michigan is in the driver's seat, especially after Payton's visit to the ND UTL game. Certainly a great recruit for Michigan, in one of the few areas of strong remaining need.
In other recruiting news, I haven't heard much on whether Michigan is still offering O'Brien, who is due to announce soon. I have assumed we will take one more OL, a WR, and Dunn.
We have up to six spots left. This could be:
- WR Payton
- OL Garnett
- RB Dunn
- OL Banner
- CB Wright
- WR Diggs
- DT O'Brien
- WR Darboh
- OL Diamond
I haven't heard much about Diamond, or Darboh, and have doubts about whether O'Brient wants to come to Michigan. Having said that, If we got only one of the WR's, Dunn, and one of the OL, that'd be just great.

I'm still guessing two WRs (Payton being one), Banner and Dunn. I wouldn't be surprised if we land another defensive player that isn't on your list. Guys like TomVH, Ace and the recruiting services do a good job, but they probably don't know everyone the coaches are talking to.

Buckle Up
October 5th, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
As creepy as it may be how do you think TomVH and Ace, etc conduct their interviews with recruits? Even coaches talk to players on there. It's kinda sickening but it's as sad of a truth as job bosses checking your social network out for backgrounds.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:34 PM ^
any different for a coach to talk to a recruit on facebook (present day) as it is for them to call their homes (always have done this)?
October 6th, 2011 at 10:43 AM ^
But me still thinks it's kinda odd. But heck I think bombarding a kid with 100 of texts and letters a week is odd too. That's recruiting for ya.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:51 PM ^
I am going to the big game tomorrow night, Westlake vs. Oaks Christian. I will get to see him in person. It is going to be shown on Fox Sports, I assume it will be a regional broadcast. Game is at 7pm PST. My son's Bantam team is playing playing an exhibition game at halftime. I will tell him to say "Go Blue" to Jordan if he sees him.
October 6th, 2011 at 5:50 AM ^
I believe the game is nationally televised. I live in western pa and the game is being shown here on fox sports on Time Warner. I already set the dvr. Cant wait to see what JP has to offer.
October 6th, 2011 at 7:00 AM ^
from a random youngster clear out in CA would make Jordan smile knowingly.
Note to MSwho...we DO recruit nationally, and we can beat you at it with twelve-year-olds.
October 6th, 2011 at 6:55 AM ^
Meh, it is probably just mere coincidence. Not many Michigan jerseys sell in CA.
October 6th, 2011 at 7:07 AM ^
Im buckled up........
October 6th, 2011 at 7:45 AM ^
I am recording the OC game on Dish Network in Ann Arbor - must be national.
October 6th, 2011 at 8:46 AM ^
I wish TomVH was still here to comment.
Unfortunately MGoBlog has been relegated to UFRs and that's about it these days. Unless you like shitty interviews (Ace) or worthless statistical analysis (mathlete, misopogon).
Congratulations, Heiko. I like you.

Do not post on here then if you do not like the content of the blog. It is that simple.

IT IS A FREE COUNTRY I CAN DO WHAT I WANT.
October 6th, 2011 at 9:20 AM ^
He's right, he's completely free to be a useless dick guys...

What if I just want to get my "rabble" on?
