He is so excited about this news that he Cant Stop Beating it.

I am assuming they just missed his name or he is not in the system yet.
December 22nd, 2012 at 11:38 AM ^
I was trying to think of who the sixth EE this year was and you nailed it. Thanks.
December 22nd, 2012 at 11:42 AM ^
WAIT.
WHAT.
Kyle Bosch is enrolling early?

When I looked at the title of this thread, I figured that FB stood for fullback and I wondered if we were planning on taking MANBALL to a whole new level

i just came back to this thread again, and wondered as it loaded whether anybody would've responded with "freepy" yet. i can dig it.
December 22nd, 2012 at 11:47 AM ^
that two of the "project" recruits (Taco and LTT) are EE. Get them in the weightroom and with the coaches as soon as possible.
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:03 PM ^
I don't think he is a project. That's up from 233 when we started recruiting him and he had an outstanding senior season.
December 22nd, 2012 at 3:06 PM ^
Again from TTB's excellent recruit tracker series: 116 tackles, 24 TFL, 19 sacks
I'd guess they let him be an every down guy last year

in the community, too.

I thought he was an OSU lock once Meyer got there?
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:11 PM ^
Oh, he is. He's just trolling us. He's gonna become and All-American and then, BOOM, transfer to Ohio. It's all part of Meyer's plan to stick it to UM.
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:50 PM ^
they didn't want him.
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:00 PM ^
Can I trust that someone is constantly monitoring for Derrick Green being listed in the U of M directory? Funny that Brian was just joking about this on WTKA this week.
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:04 PM ^
I think the guy people will be watching for is Leon McQuay, but I think most of the recruiting sites are pretty pessimistic about him ending up in Maize and Blue.
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
I wouldn't say that just yet. His dad was recently quoted saying that he "would not be surprised" if Leon ended up in Ann Arbor, and it seems to be a two horse race at this junction between Michigan and Vandy, with USC and FSU on the outside looking in. Apparently Mattison is putting on the full court press. McQuay is a playmaker, and the fact that Mattison coached Ed Reed (who is a playmaking safety like McQuay) definitely helps his cause.
December 22nd, 2012 at 4:10 PM ^
His dad says a lot of stuff.

I think that more than 3 can be backdated if the previous class is smaller than 22. It's very complicated and I don't claim to understand it all, but Texas A&M has a class of 30-something coming in after a small class last year and I've heard that they will be backdating more than 3 scholarships. I think the reason that UM could only backdate 3 in the past was stictly due to numbers.
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:46 PM ^
would an offensive linemen enroll early?
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:52 PM ^
same reason any other postition would? Get acclimated to university life, get in the weight room, learn the playbook, and try to work as hard as damn possible to help the team and themselves get better.
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
Not sure if you're serious or not???
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:54 PM ^
December 22nd, 2012 at 12:55 PM ^
These two recruits will have 6 extra months to prepare for college football while being in the college life. by the time spring practice rolls around these guys will have damn near a semester behind them and advanced training just from being around the team early.

When these guys enroll early are they considered part of the 2012 class or the 2013 class? I thought the total number per academic year allowed was 25. Since there was 25 in the last class it seems they must be in this class, no? How many can we take in total this year?
Both Georgia and Texas A&M has over 30, how does that work? Are the additional signees this year the number under 25 they had in the previous year? It doesn't seem to make much since to be able to do that since 25X4=100...not 85. Sorry for my ignorance.
December 22nd, 2012 at 1:39 PM ^
As far as I know, provided the previous class for a given school was under the limit, you can back count early enrollees up to the scholarship limit of 25 for that year. It is not something you have to do, or necessarily can do if the limit was already reached. Since we were at 25 for 2012, they would need to be counted as part of 2013's class, I believe.
December 22nd, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
Thanks, so then since we have 24 verbals we only have one open spot with 25 guys signed from last year, or does that year also back date, etc.? We must be missing something because I've heard we still want another OL and there's no way we turn away McQuary or Green just because Hunt or another OL commits.
