Per Steve Lorenz and Kipp Adams:

After having to miss the BBQ due to (likely) family circumstances, the nation's #1 overall recruit (according to 247 composite) will be visiting Ann Arbor. Hopefully we can somehow pull out a miracle here, but whether or not we can, it's a testament to how good our recruiting has become in the last few yers.

This one gets me every time.

anything can happen.

Eh.. Long hair don't care. The article says nothing about family issues and that he had to cancel because he was preparing for his season... Huh? Sounds like he just bailed. Not coming here for college.

Damien Harris also missed the BBQ becuase he had preperations for his season too. Just sayin'. (I hoenstly do think there's more to it than that. It'd seem strange to randomly cancel a trip paid for from his family's own pocked. It sounds like his grandma is/was sick)
It's still super unlikely, but you get a guy on campus and anything can happen.
but I think he wanted to hang out with Peppers.

i like watching football

if he came to the BBQ and then decided to take an official here I would be more excited. Seems like he has his top 2-3 and the other 2 visits are gravy. However, with CROOTIN' anything can happen

and I ain't never met no frenchman who could play FOOTBAW
Maybe he's French Canadian and he got desperate when his family moved away from the competitive ice!
/idle speculation
Fitz Toussaint begs to differ.

I just watched Tosh.O where your avatar gets a web redemption calling a pick up game with Gus Johnson. Probably an old one but when watching I was thinking where have I seen that guy before?
EDIT: Damn, that epsoide was two years ago - late to the game.

Also, it should be noted that his brother name is Lanard.
Yes, Lanard and Leonard. That could get super confusing.
found a way to get the rodgers brothers on the field at the same time

Quality avatar, man.

Thanks, my account name actually came from when the Dead played at Crisler in the early nineties and some shirts were made that said "M Go Dead" and had a steely on it. That steely was all maize and just had the block M in the head with blue making up the outside. But I can't find it online anywhere, so made due with this.

Theres about 5 posts on here with this title.
Except this one has the word "official" in it, which makes it special and new-ish.
I remember a post "Leonard Fournette to officially visit Michigan" a few weeks ago. I know I'm going to keep getting negged but its the whole boy who cried wolf paradigm at this point. Obviously, if he does make it on campus though, that would be an amazing accomplishment by Hoke and Co.
Hell, there might be another post about him before all is said and done.
thanks
Laughed for 5 minutes.
My 3 year old daughter saw it over my shoulder and now it has altered her view of how the world works.

If we had a DeLorean, we could go back to 2011 and +50 bomb you.
Been to LSU SEVEN times and they're also enticing his younger brother?!! Doesn't really matter, it is family first at Michigan; what Fournette wants. You can bet your sweet ass Hoke would not address him all like: "Yeah, you're good, but I see good every day" kind of horse shit.
Al Borges, two tail-back system would work. Even if it's just extra depth, we need it. I'm crossing my fingers for a trip to UTL II.
