Michigan visited EJ Levenberry Today
I know this can go in the EJ Levenberry thread, but I thought it was thread worthy...mods delete if you disagree
Sam Webb tweeted that he heard "michigan and fsu have been in EJ Levenberry's school today"

Hearing that #Michigan and Florida State have already been in E.J. Levenberry's school today
this changes everything!
I just envisioned a knife fight confrontation between the coaches, in a seedy alley like something out of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" video... Man I'm having a boring workday.
I think of the scene from Anchorman and the epic trident toss.
Well played, Son of Lloyd Brady.
Brick, where'd you get a hand grenade?
....I don't know.
I think Hoke killed a guy....
He's not just selling jerseys anymore.

Serenity now.
Are you the one who's been negging the entire board to hell tonight?
I imagined the Anchorman fight scene, where it's Michigan and FSU who casually run into eachother, then Saban, Meyer, and Miles come out of nowhere, then Dantonio decides to join the party, then everybody starts beating the shit out of eachother. Can you imagine Hoke, Mattison, and Borges in a fight? I think it would be hilarious to see Borges get really angry.
I imagined it like this (Jimbo is the kid):
Now this is a battle.
Hoke can't go but it would be an amazing advantage if Mattison could show up.
One of you on twitter should tweet the Mike Martin interview to EJ about how amazing Mattison is as a coach and as an NFL reference.
I'm pretty sure that is frowned upon by the NCAA
If schools were held responsible for what their crazy fans say on twitter they all would be on probation.
Why would that be frowned upon? It's not even paywalled.
This recruitment is a knock down drag down face in the mud raging bull bare knuckle slug fest.
You high jacked my post man! ahhhh its cool!
This is us after the visit:
I thought it was strange when I heard FSU visited and we didn't. Hoke doesn't miss opportunities like that.
So coach Hoke sat with him in math class.
TEACHER: Mr. Hoke, what do we need to have to define a line?
HOKE:
That's from his participation in Ty Isaac's Advanced Non-Euclidian Geometry class this afternoon.
...is plane to see.
The $64,000 question.
No, that's how much money hoke left in a suitcase for him.
FWIW, further down on Sam Webb's twitter.
Upvoted for the correct spelling of Isaac.
I know that there are a lot of big names out there that we are in on, but to me, locking down a premier RB is priority number 1 in this class.
But a spectacular RB would also be really helpful.
I'm more on the wide receiver train. It doesn't really matter who we have behind that line. He's gonna get yards. Plus I think Deveon is a stud. That said, I also want Isaac real bad.
I think a DT is pretty important for this class too
I'm starting a petition.
cause I think if his heart is really set on that major we're still screwed, but I'd love to see us take one from FSU. Hopefully Mattison took the oil.
Don't they say that every year?
Wake me up when FSU starts beating Wake Forest consistently again.
You could also make the argument that FSU has had top ten recruiting classes the last 3 years and has underperformed big time. They were only 8-4 last year to get to the Champs Sports Bowl... Hoke on the other hand, took someone else's players, who were less touted than FSU's, while at the same time playing multiple freshmen, and went 11-2 with a BCS win. I think that speaks to Hoke's staff's coaching ability, and ability to develop talent. Also, I think the fact that Hoke was a criminal justice major has helped him to really connect with EJ, and his knowledge of the field could help dilute the advantage FSU has by offering that major (i.e. telling him he can still get there without majoring in CJ for undergrad). There are good arguments both ways. I keep going back and forth on it.
When people make a statement with why FSU underachieved last season and mention they dont develop players thats just not accurate..Losses along the Oline and the QB was killer for FSU while playing as many freshman as anyone not named clemson(youngest team in fbs last year) not to make excuses though just think no one ever gets deep. Now what Hoke did was impressive no question.
next song
Aren't we in a period where the coaches cannot directly speak to the recruits? I am seeing stuff on other sites that implies the coaches went there to talk with the HS coaching staff, and that Levenberry was probably present, because otherwise the coaches are restricted....
Point? Yes.
I believe coaches are allowed to have "incidental" contact with recruits during this period. How coaches get around it? Dont wanna know...
