Jordan diamond is currently tweeting his top 5. So far, his top 3 (in no order) are Ohio, auburn and Arkansas. Seems like a lot of these kids are playing the recruiting game pretty well. They are "blown away" at every visit just to keep us crazy bloggers on the edge of our seats.

Michigans class will turn out well no matter how you look at it. Coaches are doing a pretty good job at addressing needs. Go big blue!!

I generally hate when people criticize recruits because, well, they are kids who are way too young to be thrust in the limelight. But, I share this sentiment. To me this is just an annoying display of "please give me even more attention than I am already getting." don't like.
<br>
<br>That said, I still hope he picks us.

You can complain about these kids being "thrust in the limelight" too early all you want, but here you are responding mere moments after a thread is posted about a recruit.  You (and me) are the people creating the limelight.  If you don't like it, quit paying attention and creating a limelight.  Its like a drug addict bitching about them damn drug dealers always selling them drugs.

It’s the fastest and most effective means of communication there is.  You wanna know the news as its happening?  Use Twitter.  By criticizing it, you basically come off as some dolt bitching about “this newfangled telephone” when “pen to paper is the way we did it in my day sonny..”  Like it or not, Diamond has news to share, he's the source of it, and Twitter is the best way to disseminate that news.

I go up and back on the reaction on this blog to the big blue thing.
<br>
<br>Personally, I hate when we are referred to as big blue. We are blue, not big blue. We say "go blue" not "go big blue".
<br>
<br>But enough people say big blue that it is probably a somewhat accepted way to refer to Michigan by the average non-fan. So, I won't get all worked up over it.

I have to go get in my car, drive 47 miles to the nearest bus station, have it drive me clear across country to Seattle, Washington, then I have to get off the bus, book a plane flight, and fly to Japan, have dinner with the emperor (don't worry I will say that he went to Jared's), bow after the meal, and get on a boat to Australia, and then get in a hot air balloon to Nicaragua, and then jump on my schwinn bike back to my neighbors house and tell them "HE WENT TO JARED'S!".

We have some great O-line recruits, in this class already (though I wouldn't mind one more). Also, according to some our best one may end up being our jumbo TE, Williams (the kid destroyed D-linemen all year).

Even if we were his number 1, I just dont think his film stacks up with any of the guys we have or are really in on.... maybe just my weird opinion, but who knows

If the coaches are really high on him, then i obviously trust them... just like who we have a lot
