Sam Webb Article: Taco Charlton now a top U-M recruit
"As a kid growing up I was a diehard Ohio State fan," Charlton said. "If Michigan and Ohio State were playing, I would go for Ohio State. But when I grew older and recruiting started going on, I started straying away. The Michigan offer was so big, and with how much love the coaches have showed me — it's crazy how a kid from Columbus can change schools like that."

That's badass. He's really good too, so that's awesome.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:19 PM ^
Does it really inspire awe?
December 9th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
He is a must get. I understand him and price are close friends and the whole twitter thing was a big no-no but It would be great to get both of those guys in AA. Work your magic Mattison.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
So tempted to talk about the tide of the rivalry...
December 9th, 2011 at 3:18 PM ^
Please elaborate. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this matter.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:29 PM ^
Are you having a hard time finding jerseys?
December 9th, 2011 at 3:31 PM ^
Due to their selling like hotcakes, I'm having trouble finding them. As a side note, hotcakes are selling really well here right now.
December 9th, 2011 at 4:02 PM ^
Never in a million years would I have thought that.
December 9th, 2011 at 4:13 PM ^
the Hell-people in Ohio think?
December 9th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
Sounds like a good start to me.
December 9th, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
Who do you think is responsible for this development?
December 9th, 2011 at 7:37 PM ^
Some guy showed up recently pointing at Michigan jerseys and they started flying off the shelves. Can't think of his name though.
December 10th, 2011 at 12:13 AM ^
Hoke even has people in Ohio believing. Never in a million years would I have thought that!
December 9th, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
I love stealing highly touted recruits from Ohio. I hope we can reel in Taco.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
Aside from how awesome this kid is, I really really want a kid named Taco on our team. So many amazing things can be done with that. Tacopants, Taco from "The League." What a great bonus and upside to a seemingly great kid and great player
December 9th, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
Taco loves to ring the QB's Bell.
December 9th, 2011 at 5:26 PM ^
The name "Taco" is cool for a guy.
Way less so for a girl (relatively obvious reason) . . . .
December 9th, 2011 at 10:09 PM ^
Personally I would love him on our team, though I would not want him to replace Tacopants. He has a creepy, special place in my heart.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:20 PM ^
he's no Goodluck Okonoboh, but he's no slouch in the name department.
December 9th, 2011 at 9:29 PM ^
HAHAHAHAHA!!! :)
December 9th, 2011 at 3:21 PM ^
Hoke bringing in Taco's Pickerington teammate, Tamani Carter, in last years class also helps M's cause.
Adding to Michigan's appeal is the presence of Charlton's former high school teammate, freshman defensive back Tamani Carter. "I was real cool with Tamani," he said. "We used to always talk when he was on the team. He is a good teammate. I love Tamani. He is like a brother."

Keep in mind that he calls several ex-teammates 'brothers." The kid from ND and the kid from Ohio as well. So this should be taken with a grain of salt, though I'm sure it helps our case against other schools where Taco is not familiar with the other players.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:21 PM ^
The bucknuter are saying that he is probably not good enough to get an offer from ohio. ohio is apparently going after out of state kids for DE in the 2013 class. That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. This is like Duane Long suddenly changing his views of Dymonte Thomas after he committed to us.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
Amazing how Urban has just been hired and they already know the will of the (yet to be announced) coaching staff.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:35 PM ^
I hope they go for it. Leave us Charlton, Price and Butt.
December 9th, 2011 at 3:38 PM ^
Taco Butt... huh huh... huh huh... huh huh...
December 9th, 2011 at 3:43 PM ^
They say Butt is higher on their list.
I'm almost positive that Price ends up a buckeye, but not sure if he is an OL or Dl recruit.
December 9th, 2011 at 4:03 PM ^
they like big Butts, and they cannot lie.
Except for the lying part.
December 9th, 2011 at 4:32 PM ^
It's good to see another smart soul here in Columbus.
December 9th, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
Where will Burrito Sasparilla and Chesterfield Enchilada end up?
Also is Taco "supreme" or just, like, chips and some shit salsa? Because fuck that man. Fuck that big time.
December 9th, 2011 at 5:12 PM ^
So if it weren't for the "love" he's getting, he really wouldn't have much of an interest in Michigan.
December 9th, 2011 at 6:50 PM ^
And the problem with that is...?
December 9th, 2011 at 7:07 PM ^
QB sandwiched between Taco and Butt.
Best-named DEs ever.
December 9th, 2011 at 7:28 PM ^
Bucknuts getting mad:

Now that he is showing us more interest he "probably wont even gett an offer" from them.
December 9th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^
He IS definitely changing the tide! Fvck Urban Meyer.
