Sam Webb mentions possible surprise recruit
January 31st, 2012 at 5:13 PM ^
But... you didn't say Diggs?!
January 31st, 2012 at 5:16 PM ^
Sorry, it's 100% NOT Diggs either. I will say some people have asked about Croom and Allen didn't really have a response to it. He said that he might be able to say something tonight, but he can't right now. Now, I'm not saying it's Croom! I'm just relaying info, but I wouldn't mind it being Croom.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:15 PM ^
Dude didn't you see O'Brian say Ann Arbor was too liberal for him? LOL
January 31st, 2012 at 5:20 PM ^
Yes, I sure did. I knew he wasn't coming here!
January 31st, 2012 at 5:28 PM ^
January 31st, 2012 at 7:59 PM ^
According to my ESPNU ticker, DOB now feels that Waco is too liberal, so he has switched him commitment from Baylor to 1952.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:37 PM ^
can you guaransheed that?
January 31st, 2012 at 5:11 PM ^
Barry Sanders Jr. !!! His dad lives in Detroit and it would be easier for him to attend the games.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:25 PM ^
Jason Croom is my guess. WR with good size, currently committed to Tennessee. Trieu mentioned him the other day kind of casually out of the blue.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:27 PM ^
Going off the different things I have read, and I am not using any paywalled info, this is a list of who I think it could be:
Latroy Pittman (Fla)
Avery Johnson (LSU)
Jody Fuller (SC)
Drae Bowles (Tenn)
I have no idea if this is who it is but this is the best list i could come up with.
Also, I would like to add that I have heard multiple times that this recruit doesn't want this getting out before he chooses between his current commitment and Michigan so if you do know (or find out) leave him alone. I think we owe any recruit that!
January 31st, 2012 at 5:27 PM ^
Tom took down his post, so it's not his guy it seems anyways. This makes me think Draper makes sense:
I do. They talked about playing together RT @PittScript: @JoshHelmholdt do you think Willie Henry to Michigan affected Draper's decision?
January 31st, 2012 at 5:28 PM ^
Draper committed today.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:28 PM ^
since we're throwing darts in the dark here
January 31st, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
THrowing darts is dangerous. Especially if you're playing handball.

Yes this is real.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:50 PM ^
Double post?
January 31st, 2012 at 5:41 PM ^
He's the No. 1 corner who decommitted from ND 2 weeks ago!
January 31st, 2012 at 5:44 PM ^
Looks like he's going from one 5-star graveyard to another...
January 31st, 2012 at 5:44 PM ^
He will probably go to FSU.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:46 PM ^
I'd bet a good amount of money on it. It's nobody local, Allen Trieu said on Facebook that it wasn't a name that people had alreayd mentioned, and that we'd go blue in the face trying to figure it out. And the latest rumor, is that it's a 4 star WR from an SEC school. Croom fits the bill of the type of WR this staff has been recruiting thus far.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:00 PM ^
But his last tweet sais "Im good, no need to worry about anything".
I am an adult. I have a job. I have a house and responsibilities. Why in the hell am I looking at a 17 year olds tweets?
The team, the team, the team
January 31st, 2012 at 6:34 PM ^
He also tweeted that 6 hours ago. Not that it matters but that was before the speculation occurred.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:04 PM ^
Sure...which might explain why they would go after a different type of player. Like a deep threat maybe. Big WR/TE/H-Back hybrids we have. Deep threats we have not.
January 31st, 2012 at 5:59 PM ^
subscription came in the mail today. Ordered beginning of December from Discount Mags. Have the insider up and running, ready to go. I am Digging it.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:02 PM ^
So...we are getting Diggs!?!!?!?!?!?
January 31st, 2012 at 6:08 PM ^
That's really just not that funny. It wasn't the first 35 times in the thread either.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:09 PM ^
I know who Sam is talking about . . . and he isn't coming.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:12 PM ^
Remember when we used to be able to police the board by negging guys like this.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
Aren't you the same guy that thinks we should stop prognosticating about what 17 year olds will do because none of them know until just before they do it? Now all of a sudden you know what a mystery recruit is going to do. How convenient, and if we do pull in a 4* WR from an SEC school you will just say it was different one...right?
January 31st, 2012 at 6:11 PM ^
Looking at his profile on Scout, there are recent paywalled articles about the strength of his commitment to UT, and going all the way back to his pre-commitment days, there is literally nothing in there about UM, or any other northern school for that matter. There's no indication he's ever visited, so I'm skeptical, but as they say, you never know about recruiting...
I'd rather have Darby or another OL anyhow.
January 31st, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
January 31st, 2012 at 6:13 PM ^
Please no twitter/facebook/text stalking of any of these potential guys until after a committment is made. Don't want some creeper scaring them off last minute, badgering him for an interview.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:19 PM ^
It's not Croom. It sounds like Darby.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:23 PM ^
No chance of it being Darby.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:36 PM ^
A. We were never really in the picture when he committed to ND
<br>B. when he decommitted he was looking at 3 or 4 southern schools, not UM
<br>C. Sam said it would not be a surprise of Diggs' magnitude, and Darby definitely would be
January 31st, 2012 at 6:20 PM ^
or maybe Richardson will go to OSU . . .
January 31st, 2012 at 6:21 PM ^
Henson has a couple of years of eligibility left . . . so it could be him as well.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:29 PM ^
Yeah, but then we couldn't recruit any other QBs.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:33 PM ^
Book it.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:34 PM ^
Book_it.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:35 PM ^
I'm saying Jordan Payton, I just feel like that kid's recruitment won't be over till he signs.
January 31st, 2012 at 6:36 PM ^
He committed to Washington today.
January 31st, 2012 at 7:02 PM ^
Yet signing day is tomorrow. Anything is possible my good man.
/s
January 31st, 2012 at 7:06 PM ^
From Tennessee...
January 31st, 2012 at 6:35 PM ^
Pharoh Brown
January 31st, 2012 at 6:36 PM ^
UT Loses a player to Arkansas: Othna Peters just decommitted from Tenn. Maybe some problems popping up down there in ESSSS EEEEE SEEEE country?
-Chet
January 31st, 2012 at 6:37 PM ^
mspeedkills says its a SEC commit 4 star... so deduce away folks....
January 31st, 2012 at 6:40 PM ^
wising up to getting cut or grey shirted or run off??????? Maybe they are looking for a place where we stick with you unless you do something truly stupid a couple of times????
