2014 recruit Vincent Jackson. Michigan is practicing at his HS.
December 27th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
Just kidding of course. Hope he goes Blue soon.

Well we all know what happens when the Insiders think a guy WILL go blue, so maybe that's a good thing...

Demar Dorsey. Didn't actually get on campus, but he did pick the hat.

He said, "I just want to see ONE of those "hats on the table" selections that ends with a recruit picking Michigan."
Obviously he didn't pan out, BUT he did pick the hat.

"... and actually enrolling & playing at Michigan" part of his comment.

There's a reason that people who have a tough time deciding tend to pick the south; it's warmer there. If you feel like you've got a lot of options that are roughly equivalent, and nothing is really standing out to you, you're probably going to go way down the list in terms of deciding factors. If you get down to weather, Cal and FSU's winters have a hell of a lot more women in bikinis than Ann Arbor.

Wasn't TacoPants the last 6* to announce on international TV he'd attend Michigan?
December 28th, 2012 at 9:26 AM ^
Yeah, it would have been great to be a Cal fan.
2012 Scout team rankings
Michigan 4th
Cal 34th

Cal had a nice run at the Army game, and then lost all those players when Tosh Lupoi went to Washington. So no, it wouldn't have been awesome to be a Cal fan this past January/February.

One day soon enough it will be standard for elite players to hold a press conference when they announce the list of official visits they plan to take.

That sounds like a good gig...where do I sign up?
December 27th, 2012 at 10:03 PM ^
2015 ATH George Campbell also made it to a practice. Good to have a bowl game in a talent-rich state like Florida.
December 27th, 2012 at 11:49 PM ^
Yeah - after years of playing in the Idaho Potato Bowl, it's nice to see Michigan playing a bowl in a talent-rich state.
Outside of the years we weren't in a bowl - has Michigan ever played a bowl in a non-talent-rich state?

Bowl games
Michigan has played in 41 bowl games in its history, compiling a record of 20–21. Before missing a bowl game in 2008, Michigan had made a bowl game 33 years in a row, the second longest streak (as of end of 2011 season) in college football history.[84] From 1918 to 1945, the Big Ten Conference did not allow its teams to participate in bowls. From 1946 to 1974, only a conference champion, or a surrogate representative, was allowed to attend a bowl, the Rose Bowl, and no team could go two years in a row, with one exception.

I love this prevailing assumption that playing a second-tier bowl game in Florida (or anywhere else) gives Michigan a substantial recruiting bump in that area. It's nonsense. How many blue-chip recruits will lean toward Michigan because they played a game in Tampa? None.
December 28th, 2012 at 1:30 AM ^
December 28th, 2012 at 5:39 AM ^
By your logic, would the Orange Bowl be non-crappy? How would you rate the Chick-Fil-A Bowl? The Rose Bowl?
December 28th, 2012 at 6:54 AM ^
All of them.
December 28th, 2012 at 6:48 AM ^
How many bowl practices are these kids typically going to? Kids in Florida could go check out a dozen teams in Florida bowl practices, same for kids in Texas.
And are these practices open to anyone or does a recruit have to get an invite? How does this align with the "dead period"?
December 28th, 2012 at 6:58 AM ^
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand, as long as the practice is open to the public they are allowed to attend. No private sessions.
December 28th, 2012 at 1:44 PM ^
They can go, but the coaches can't talk to them because it is supposed to be a "dead period"

is going to come here. He didn't elaborate with specifics on-air, but said there are recent developments that led him to that view.
I also noticed on another site that supposedly Derrick Green is now saying he's interested in Miami of Florida. If he really is interested in that ongoing tire fire down in Coral Gables, it's just another sign to me that he's not coming here.
