Your move, Mr. Morris

The bonding of the class together first, especially since that is allowed right now by NCAA rules, IS whats best for the team right now IMO

but ever since (I'm guessing) Shane Morris started recruiting people heavily, I feel like all of our commits have been recruiting way more than I ever remember anyone doing before Shane. It's almost an expectation now amongst commits.

would be pretty cool to see and may give even a little extra incentive
February 15th, 2013 at 7:56 PM ^
The Ohioites that manage to escape make good Michigan Men.

A bunch of people might have had delusions of granger and started posting with no idea what was coming. That should hardly have set any expectations.
Why would you even find it necessary to make your last statement? What is wound so tightly in people that they have to turn over rocks looking for issues that might not exist?
February 15th, 2013 at 8:31 PM ^
To be honest, I don't remember reading about any delusions of grainger around here.
EDIT: I love how you edited "grainger" to "granger."
February 15th, 2013 at 9:12 PM ^
I've almost forgotten the phone number for the local Grainger. I can still remember the number for the McMaster-Carr branch in Cleveland, though.

Are "special" t-shirts that only the cool kids get to wear??
February 15th, 2013 at 8:18 PM ^
Pretty cool. ...but shouldn't he have made maize shirts for the media?

Maybe mention Sparty too. Why is it necessary to contrast other schools. This is great to see, period.
February 15th, 2013 at 8:31 PM ^
I didn't have a twitter accout. But, this makes me want to get one.
February 15th, 2013 at 8:31 PM ^
February 15th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
I see what you're getting at, but because they're cheap t-shirts, it's probably not going to trip anything. Technically, the value doesn't matter, but in reality it does. It's not like Ferns is sending an iPad to every kid when he commits.
As long as it's trinkety like that, I doubt the NCAA bats an eye. But then again you never know.

Free GoBlueWolverine article from Sam Webb: Ferns Seeks Top Class w/ Project 135 Campaign
Over the years Michigan has had the great fortune of seeing many of its verbal commitments turn into some of its most valuable recruiting tools. Fifteen years ago the first member of the Wolverines’ 1998 class, All American quarterback Drew Henson, played a vital role in helping secure the #1 class in the country. He was instrumental in helping lure the top two receivers in the country (David Terrell andMarquise Walker), the top tailback (Justin Fargas), and host of other blue-chippers. More recently the first commitment in Michigan’s 2013 class, All American quarterback Shane Morris, proved to be a central figure in helping the Maize & Blue lock down the nation’s second best class. Both Henson and Morris were effective in communicating to others the attributes that that made Michigan so appealing to them with frequent phone correspondences and occasional campus visits. The first member of Michigan’s 2014 class is committed to conveying the same message in the same manner, but today he augmented his approach in a way that makes it truly unique.

I refuse to wear yellow (maize). It's Go BLUE.
EDIT: I mean yellow/maize as the dominant color. If you guys say that true fans wear maize, then why don't we just have maize football jerseys? or all-maize unis (like we do in basketball; ugh)? It's because maize as the dominant color sucks, and it's Go Blue or go home. Sorry, that's just my opinion.
February 16th, 2013 at 1:16 AM ^
Ummm... So I guess you're not in the maize rage. Or have ever been to a maize out. Or had any of the many many official shirts which are maize.
A maize crowd looks a lot better than a blue crowd.

Great leadership and initiative, Mr. Ferns! This kid has "future captain" written all over him.
February 15th, 2013 at 11:09 PM ^
February 16th, 2013 at 1:25 AM ^
He should start a line of Kate Upton tank tops.
February 16th, 2013 at 3:08 AM ^
I actually think this is one of the coolest recruiting ideas I've ever heard. I guess Michael Ferns is the Shane Morris of this class.
February 16th, 2013 at 8:14 AM ^
Really is an awesome idea. Also pretty generous on his part as I am guessing he is paying for these shirts out of pocket.
