I giggitied too much :(
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:53 PM ^
MGoBlog's Ace is about as relevant as Notre Dame.
Thanks for the info Aqua.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:03 PM ^
Thanks a lot aquaman! Loved the read. Go Blue Armani!
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
Thank you for this! Amazing work, Aqua!!
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:05 PM ^
Don't underestimate the power of mom.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:08 PM ^
I definitely like having Mattison be Armani's last visitor, that definitely will help us after Urban talks to him.
As for Diamond choosing his school the a couple days after NSD, could that change whether or not we land him? I'm just a little worried he might want to go blue, but the spots will fill up beforehand.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
we have 5 open spots, and only 5 recruits left on our board... so the spots cant fill up (unless some recruit comes out of nowhere and decides to commit)
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
Aquaman, I feel the complete opposite feelings towards you that I am feeling towards Kyle Williams right now...and right now I wanna tie Kyle Williams to a couch and send him to East Lansing...so yea thanks for the pick-me-up!
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
Stress for the next week. Great.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:08 PM ^
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:09 PM ^
Thanks for the update. Now we wait. Fingers crossed.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Too many people going to the site, I can't see it. What does it say?
Nevermind, everything's okay now.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:11 PM ^
Hope the recruits swing Blue. They will be very welcome in AA.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Thanks for the great info.
I'm not sure how to read Diamond's recruitment right now, especially how his mom feels about our OL haul.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
or I hope.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
or I hope.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Tuesday will be a big day

Armani even between OSU and Michigan, dropped PSU. Visit was good by Hoke.
Diamond even between five schools. No favorites.
I recommend clicking through, tremendous deserves the clicks.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
There is no way they both "promised" him playing time early.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:58 PM ^
screen name sucks.
January 23rd, 2012 at 7:48 AM ^
As does he, as a person...
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
Tremendous your doing an incredible job, honestly I don't even remember TomVH posting this much info in such short time as well as how insghtful it has been. Great job
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Tom would pump out info and then over time it gets less and less. He trickles it out over at ESPN, probably for page hits. I have ESPN and mess with Rivals right before signing day but this place always has more info than either. Plus both of their boards are god awful. ESPN's has no rhyme or reason to the order of posts and Rivals is premium Mlive.
January 23rd, 2012 at 10:12 AM ^
You know I kind of agree with you on this one.
I got the cheap Insider account on one of the previous deals just because TomVH is there and OMFG that website is A. Terrible, B. I like to open tabs to read various articles and it always makes me re-sign in even if I sign in on the man page and C. The content is lacking, the updates usually consist of some BS interview w/ the commit/recruit that asks dumb PC questions.
I also find their readership to not be as informed as Mgoblog as any recruiting thread asks about or shots with Diggs or Dorial Green-Beckham (sp).
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
is it feb 3rd yet?
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
The sense around Arkansas is Michigan and Arkansas are his top 2
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Josh Garnett just tweeted: "The visit was great everyone! Coach Hoke and Funk are so funny. They even said @erikmagnuson77 and I can room together! :)".
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
I'll be posting RE: Garnett very soon, just about done chatting with him.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:25 PM ^
The man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aquaman
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:25 PM ^
Finally our first official battle with urban Meyer over a few neutral recruits. Let "The Game"s begin.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:26 PM ^
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:36 PM ^
Have to say agree! Diamond is too iffy; I think he would've commuted by now, but then again never no. I think with reeves to many (+) going our direction. 1) we've been recruiting him MUCH longer, better relationships. 2) Osu has a bowl ban and a few sanction amid not big but will have a slight (-) impact for the. 3) EDUCATION . 4) no matter what Osu is NOT establishes yet under Meyer, there will be growing pains, while Michigans in the up and up. The only thing going osu's way is his teammate committing. In a deadlock tie after he sits down with his family, Michigan wins out!
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
Meant committed* and never know; typing on I phone.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:27 PM ^
How did you make way more recruiting connections than Ace in a fraction of the time? Is this real life?
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:41 PM ^
-Tums
- 1 month subscription to ESPN Insider
- Increased standard of Ohio hatred
- Snake Oil antibiotics
- Wife understanding the importance of the day
- 10 sick days allotted for the year un used
- Alcohol (For the good or bad)
Ready to go
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:48 PM ^
January 23rd, 2012 at 12:10 AM ^
Why would you say he is afraid of comp. His mom was the one to ask last time. I hate to say this but I am more worried about reeves. Good kid but his best friend from 2nd grade is going osu. I will be sweating that one
January 23rd, 2012 at 8:53 AM ^
I have heard similar. If I understood correctly, Diamond really really wants M but his hesitancy is the number of linemen they already have.
January 23rd, 2012 at 9:12 AM ^
Honestly, I think that's a really savvy move. If I were advising a prospect about where to go, I'd tell him to keep an eye on depth charts, and if he could get away with waiting for the dust to settle at his favorite schools, why not?
<br>I actually think the Michigan depth chart will be appealing, too. Diamond is an OT, where the roster will be very thin and the only competition from this class could be Magnuson and Braden (and maybe Bars).
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:48 PM ^
putting on my helmet. This is gonna be one heck of a week. Beat Ohio on the recuiting trail!
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:49 PM ^
I just have this terrible gut feeling that both will end up at Ohio. Never underestimate the power of unrealistic promises to teenagers who watch TV.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:50 PM ^
Thanks for the updates. I enjoy reading them and it must be a great feeling to have built up a strong rapport with these recruits. Looking forward to the next couple weeks.
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:51 PM ^
Does anyone else think the coaches telling Garnett, he can room with Magnusson, pretty much makes him a done deal. :)
January 23rd, 2012 at 8:49 AM ^
Coaches say stuff like that all the time, at any point in the process.
