Commitment Sunday?
So I hear that today could be big in recruitment, with lots of prospects deciding later this evening. 2-3 awesome recruits commiting to M would be the only thing that can cheer me up after the B'ball debacle.
Scout.com says Kozan is deciding today between Iowa and Michigan.Some recent reports and our shifted focus suggest he may be headed to Iowa, but I still want to believe that he will show up in AA with Jordan Diamond in Fall.
Speaking of which, what's the decision timeline for Grant, Diamond, Reeves?

Do you have anything concrete? Link?
If true, what a get for Rich Rodriguez. This guy is the real deal. They say his passing is further along than Denard's at the same stage.
January 29th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
Much.
January 29th, 2012 at 6:03 PM ^
He was UCLA bound?
January 29th, 2012 at 6:03 PM ^
He just committed to UCLA
January 29th, 2012 at 6:02 PM ^
Armani Reeves just tweeted #michigan #buckeye. Singular BUCKEYE? And just saying Michigan? I'm guessing UM.

Games, don't read into an 18 year olds tweets...

It's Chill Chet working on his 2nd or 3rd user name. Pay him no mind.

Seems like a well known commodity around here.
January 29th, 2012 at 6:05 PM ^
Actually, Devin Fuller committed to UCLA and the 247 crew ruined his announcement by releasing it over an hour before his press conference.
It may have been an accident, but the race to release it first became more important than the race to get it right, much like what Brian talked about with the Paterno story.

James Ross, MSU reporter ran the story before he gave him the OK.
January 29th, 2012 at 7:03 PM ^
I feel like it happens at some point every year. It's an unfortuante reality stemming from the pressure to break stories.
EDIT: remember when it happened to Kaleb Ringer?
January 29th, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
Aquaman-
Why must you prevent me from doing my homework??
January 29th, 2012 at 6:46 PM ^
January 29th, 2012 at 6:54 PM ^
This may actually come to pass. At some stage when recruits keep finding excuses to not commit it's best to read between the lines and not get our hopes up.
January 29th, 2012 at 6:46 PM ^
January 29th, 2012 at 6:50 PM ^
not as tough as the beatdown osu will receive from UM in the horseshoe this coming Nov.
January 29th, 2012 at 7:59 PM ^
That would suck to have a nut as your mascot! They really string nuts and wear them with pride. Gay pride... So stupid! The band wears police academy uniforms also. Proctor!
January 29th, 2012 at 7:00 PM ^
If you waited this long to make a commitment, why is today better than Wednesday? I think we have to buckle-up and be ready for a big Wednesday.
Go Blue!
January 29th, 2012 at 7:05 PM ^
I would guess it probably has to do with being with your family, talking things over and deciding. You might not have the time to announce on Wednesday and get everyone you want to be with you there for it. The weekend is a time when you're around the people who will care most about your decision.
January 29th, 2012 at 7:16 PM ^
That's a nice thought.
January 29th, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
I thought Kozan was announcing tonight at 8pm (i.e. 8 minutes ago). Any update??
January 29th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
Eastern or mountain time
January 29th, 2012 at 8:18 PM ^
Sounds like Tuley-Tillman is visiting next weekend...
January 29th, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
Since we're on that note...He also got his coveted offer from Alabama, so the stiff competition is in. And since we're on THAT note...Shaq Wiggens got his coveted offer from UGA, so similar story.
January 29th, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
I am guessing if he says 8, he means his, not yours.
January 29th, 2012 at 8:25 PM ^
Iowa can have him. Doesn't sound like a Michigan Man to me...

Talk about commitment blue balls. I've been buckled up since Friday with all these reports and not one announcement yet?
January 29th, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
Me too. Everybody seemed pretty confident that we would see two or three commitments by the end of the weekend, but it is coming to an end pretty quick without any fireworks at all.
January 29th, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
In protracted "buckle up" situations, it's always best to keep supplies of unguents to prevent chafing.
January 29th, 2012 at 8:40 PM ^
January 29th, 2012 at 8:58 PM ^
that there are some football season withdrawals taken place.
January 29th, 2012 at 9:02 PM ^
The OP just randomly asserts that today is Commitment Sunday despite no evidence to support this. And it's already 9 PM. Something tells me not many recruits will be announcing Sunday night at 11PM.
January 29th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
January 29th, 2012 at 9:23 PM ^
"Well its time to tell everyone"
January 29th, 2012 at 9:24 PM ^
January 29th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
happen to the commits none so far. The coaches should have had more options. We were only targeting 5 players done the wire,we have missed out on two now. What happened?!?!?!
January 29th, 2012 at 9:49 PM ^
I don't know why, but going back to the Carr years, it seems like Michigan has a tendency to miss out on these late-deciders. We seem to get the big names earlier on.
January 29th, 2012 at 11:03 PM ^
Uhhhhh..today stinks for UM
January 29th, 2012 at 11:05 PM ^
I thought he was announcing today as well...any word about him?
January 30th, 2012 at 12:02 AM ^
Nothing positive came out of the day
Lost to Ohio
Reeves to Ohio
Kozan to Iowa
News that Diamond is Wisconsin-bound
Madaris to State (Not that i care)
Any news on what's happening with Sam Grant?
