This kid has more cuts that American Idol. I hope we get him, but I feel like in a month we will be standing by hoping to be in his top 6, then 3-4 etc... I hope we can get him, but I'm not holding my breathe on this one

How can anybody have a "top 8" in anything? I mean if you go to Baskin Robbins you seldom whittle your choices down to a "top 8" before making the call.
Just saying.

Today I learned that choosing which university you want to attend is the same as choosing an ice cream flavor. Good thing I choose mint chocolate, they've got great academics and solid history of sending players to the NFL!

So you're saying that when you were choosing colleges you had a "top 8"? I'm impressed! I had one (Michigan) and when they passed on me for low grades I went to CMU to get my GPA up and then transferred.
I guess I'm behind the times. I need to get a top 8. As a matter of fact I'm going to come up with my "top 8" choices for my spring break vacation plans.
My point dude was that NOBODY has a top 8 - he probably has 2 or 3 he's really interested in and is having fun with the process. Nothing wrong with that - but for the board to actually give a shit that we're in some kid's "top 8" is hilarious to me.

You weren't a top high school football player that could literally go anywhere in the country for free. You don't have a point.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
I easily have about a top 8 when there are decent looking females at the bar. lol
November 28th, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
Sadly they have a top X as well...and they may be pickier than you. lol...
November 28th, 2011 at 11:01 PM ^
They may also be a lot more drunk than he is.
November 28th, 2011 at 11:04 PM ^
Yup, chicks with boyfriends suck.
November 28th, 2011 at 11:34 PM ^
LOL!!!

I unofficially heard that he unofficially has eliminated Auburn, Florida, USC, Florida, Oklahoma, Maryland, and Virginia. My unofficial source seems to think that we are in the top 3 at least. (source: mgoblog thread "Stefon Diggs Top 8", 2011)
November 28th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
So..you're feeling pretty good about this?
November 28th, 2011 at 11:03 PM ^
Hypothetically, he's mostly somewhat basically almost unofficially allegedly a soft silent commit theoretically. I feel great about it... mostly.
November 28th, 2011 at 9:59 PM ^
Brionte Dunn just tweeted that he just got off the phone with urban Meyer... I wonder how that conversation went?
November 28th, 2011 at 10:06 PM ^
he lists Cal, USC, Florida, Oklahoma, and Auburn as his "official visits", but he did say that could change.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:08 PM ^
Just posted on twitter..."just got off the phone with urban Meyer." an update should be coming soon.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:13 PM ^
This whole thing will end up with me being sadpanda I fear.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
I don't think so. If Dunn listened to Meyer's press conference, he'd quickly catch on that Meyer basically laid out his plan to base an offense around Miller. Contrastingly, Hoke would love nothing more than to have a RB he could build an offense around via power running.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:27 PM ^
I have the same feeling. His heart has always seemed to be with Ohio, it was the situation that had him looking.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
But is it really that different with a recruit that has no idea? I do understand that it's Ohio....
November 28th, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
This, would be legit.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:32 PM ^
Cousin, D-Thomas just tweeted Dunn "@DunnItAlready25 what ever he says it don't matter you don't wanna be part of the spread and also you could maybe start next year for blue"
November 28th, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^
That could be news to Fitz ... ha.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
November 29th, 2011 at 12:00 AM ^
I'd love that announcement!
November 28th, 2011 at 10:41 PM ^
FWIW, Dunn's picture was of him and his mom in Ohio gear and now it seems to be him at the UM game.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^
Why would he want to go to Florida? Their passing game is worse than anemic.
November 28th, 2011 at 11:08 PM ^
Though they suck now, I think the presumption is that Weis will get things going and whoever comes in will get the draft accolades of Michael Floyd or Golden Tate. A silly hope, but an understandable one.
November 28th, 2011 at 11:13 PM ^
Do they have good Maple Bars in Gainesville?
November 28th, 2011 at 11:21 PM ^
The dynamic of all these schools in terms of geography and style of offense is interesting to me. My guess is he will end up choosing between Michigan, Florida and Cal. Hopefully Mr. Countess will be in his ear for the next couple months.
November 29th, 2011 at 11:21 AM ^
I think we should have as much of a chance as anyone. We need this guy or someone like him who can play outside receiver and slot and make big plays in the short/intermediate passing game.
I don't see him going to Maryland. UVA has had bad luck at QB lately, it seems. USC and OU worry me as much as anyone with the talent that they've had at QB and WR lately. It's going to be a good fight, but if we can snag this guy from those other schools, that says a lot about us and where we're heading, I hope.
