Another Possible commit?
Gedeon?
They have now put him on "commit watch" with more to come this weekend.
1.) Start a blog
2.) Every 2 weeks predict a possible commitment is close
3.)?????
4.) Profit
Don't think this new recruiting "guru" has any insider info. Based on Aqua's tweet-
@TremendousUM I assume that the staff feels good about other LBs if they're turning away Anzalone so early?
@TheOneShep Has to be the case. Anzalone is an absolute beast, whoever gets him will be happy.
Anzalone is not visiting anymore, either because we have a silent LB commit (Gedeon) or the staff feels really confident we are going to land Levenberry. That could mean a LB recruit will not be a silent commit anymore soon, or it might just be speculation based on the staffs response to Anzalone.
But Mike Farrell said we better watch out for FSU.

Brady Hoke just simply gets it. Early bird gets the worm and let Michigan sell itself. Michigan is a juggernaut and has awaken from the 3 year hibernation that was the richrod era. As long as levenberry is saved a spot I'm good with whoever else we get. Levenberry will be an all American at Michigan.
I agree that the '08 to '10 seasons amount to the deepest hibernation, but I think you could successfully argue, at least in terms of recruiting classes, that the program has been in some depth of sleepiness since the '03 and '04 crops. (Forget Rivals/Scout scores and take a look at the number of future NFLers in them, then glance quickly at '05 to '07 and the last few NFL drafts.)
Honestly, Hoke has a *chance* to do more than restore the program to Lloyd's best years (other than the obvious pinnacle).
No shit. Did they "break" this after the recruit cancelled his trip? They did.
Who cancelled?
Not to throw dirt, but I've had three followers on Twitter come to me and say that this account posted this update less than ten minutes after Tom posted on ESPN about somebody who could be a possible commit soon.
I'm also not a fan of someone who is soliciting followers in exchange for hints.
Very Ace Williams-ish.
Michigan Recruiting @MGoRecruiting
1000 followers tonight and a possible commit could be named! It's a hard task but it's up to you! #GoBlue #RT
#Unfollow
world domination by doing just that. Back to the drawing board.
When you have to scratch your head while figuring out who is which, there are too many.
Just curious why you would say that this MGoRecruiting shmo is Ace Williams-ish? What did I miss that Ace did?
Ace Anbender≠Ace Williams
Ace Williams is a "reporter" for ChatSports, who basically is somewhere between a hack and a troll.
Thanks for setting me straight.
Okay, a possible commit? Isaac. Gedeon. Levenberry.
Whoever you name is technically a POSSIBLE commit, it's just that some are more likely than others.
Also, *possible commit*, and *could be named*. Yeah, that fills me with lots of confidence.
you could be a recruiting analyst for your very own blog in a matter of minutes.
child please
This crap makes me not want to ever join Twitter. How quickly it became commercialized... It took Facebook at least 5 years.
How soon are we talking?
I don't know. I don't have an ESPN account and none of those who told me gave me a name. Based on what I've seen, Gedeon and Gareus Conley seem to be the hottest names right now.
Thoughts on Conley? The tape that I saw was sparse, unfortunately, but (that huge caveat aside...) he looked like a pretty dang good athlete. Standifer's a pretty obvious comp. Not like Massillon goes unscouted though...
I think he's pretty solid. You have to love his size and he's definitely athletic to boot.
Do you think it's likely we take him soon? Or are the coaches going to wait to see from the more highly touted CB's first (like Fuller)?
Conley is a 6'2" corner, rated a 4 star, # 20 CB to Scout. I know some of the services may not be so high on him, but he sure seems like a helluva athlete. I wouldn't mind bringing him on board and seeing where he pans out, whether that be at CB or safety. Seems to me like another recruit that will be garnering higher praise later on in the year.
Yeah, I honestly know very little about the guy, and haven't been able to find a ton of info on him to come to an informed decision (I didn't check for him on scout though). But that's good to know. That being said, Kendall Fuller has been getting praise like he is the next Charles Woodson. That's pretty high praise. I'm just wondering if the coaches will wait around a bit, or at least until Fuller visits, to try to see how things look, because I honestly think if Fuller does end up coming to Michigan, then we don't really need a third corner in this class and the scholarship could be used for an area of need, or an elite-level player.
I think Fuller, like Levenberry, is a guy the coaches would take with any open "best player available" spot. Unlike Levenberry, however, it doesn't seem overly likely that he'll end up in the class. Better to take the four-star corner who's willing to commit now and hope you have room for Fuller later than get to the end of the class and have neither.
That definintely sounds fair to me. How does the staffs interest in Conley compare to the others like Willis, Harris and Hargreaves?
I think the more important question is: How does Conley's interest compare to Willis, Harris, and Hargreaves?
I'd be pleasantly surprised if Hargreaves even visited—he'd likely be in the same boat as Fuller considering his five-star status. As for Willis and Harris, they've both expressed interest, but Conley looks ready to beat them to the punch. Given that he's a four-star talent, I'm perfectly fine with that.
Just wanted to say I really appreciate your involvement on the boards, it's really cool to be able to chat with you about recruiting. Makes me feel connected to the blog, which is fun. Um ... Keep being great!
Seconded, love to see the responses from our own recruiting ninja.
That being said, Ace, have you thought about doing a full on Q and A session? (something similar to hat TomVH does over at wolverine nation perhaps?)
lol dude we are trolling, apparently. I love the internet.
Want to see how small this little box can get on my screen.
Oh! And thanks, Ace!!
Pretty small.
Shrinking.....
I could barely click the reply button.
I had to moderate just to get to the reply button.
I think in the old days, you could get really thin, but it seems like the moderation stuff is going to get in the way.
To respond to this one I actually had to moderate it, then refresh the page in order to click the reply button.
This was turning into an epic "that's what she said" thread.
We have to go deeper.
Extends the thread, and gets it back on theme.
I'm very curious to see if we can max this out
this must be what it feels like to be a bubble screen in an Al Borges offense
This comment is going to be skinnier than Teyshaun Prince
