Tim Settle visiting for UTL II
2015 Top 5 DT Tim Settle is attending the Michigan v ND game Sept 7 instead of Oregon at UVA. (Personally, I wouldn't think that would be a great idea to have a kid visit UVA while Oregon hosts a track meet on their football field)
Hand and Settle are coming together, and possibly another 2015 OL from VA, depending on if he has other transportation or not.
Tim doesn't have an offer yet, but he also hasn't been on campus yet either.
Re: Da'Shawn...once again, an unbelievable kid. His position coach and mentor is coaching at another school, and I don't believe he is learning anything from his new coaching staff. So AFTER two-a-days he will find time to head to Coach Harris' home, and will work on DL and hands drills. I watched him do moves he doesn't use in games, because he doesn't have to. Coach Harris teaches him a technique I either haven't seen before (because at 170 lbs I avoid the LOS at all costs) or because it is something unique. Various D1 coaches praise him for what he is teaching and it is probably a reason why 2 of the DL he's worked with are in the top 5 in their respective years.

awesome news.
There will be the makings of an absolute killer D-line in the stands at UTLII. Hand, Settle (15), and I think Cornell (15)...
PS is the VA 15 OL Matt Burrell?

Couldn't remember his first name

I changed it to ND, just in case that game happens too!
August 16th, 2013 at 12:55 PM ^
Do you get to take the trip as well?

Would that 2015 OL happen to be Matt Burrell?
August 16th, 2013 at 1:14 PM ^
Also, thanks for the great information! Nice to have someone with insider knowledge around.
August 16th, 2013 at 1:42 PM ^
Getting this kid on campus with Da'Shawn Hand would be huge. Apparently, both of them are kind of a big deal.
August 16th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^

No, Settle was deciding btw going to the UVA game or the UM game because he wanted to see both but they were on the same weekend. So he "settled" on the UM game. So it's new.

what you did there...I see it.

That was for premium season ticket holders only.

I love that the athletic department just played dumb, instead of explaining it to you.

YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH BIIIIITCH!!!!!!!!!!
August 16th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
Honestly, I don't think this is getting enough attention...
HE'S THE #2 PLAYER IN THE 2015 CLASS ON THE 247 COMPOSITE LIST YOU GUYS.

August 16th, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
See! Dilithium gets it!
August 16th, 2013 at 5:14 PM ^
Well it is a visit not a "Michigan is in my top 3" (and from early indications Michigan is not in his top tier) but a Settle and Cornell haul in 2015 would be like getting oh I dont know Peppers and Hand in 2014. Like impossible or something. err... Once a kid gets on campus and meets with coaches I always feel confidant we at least will move up in the pecking order.

Tim Settle has quite the offer list per Rivals - Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Georgia Tech, Iowa, Miami (YTM), Nebraska, North Carolina, NC State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Old Dominion (interesting), Oregon State, South Carolina, Tennessee, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin.
247Sports lists their nominal "cool" for LSU, Maryland and Michigan. According to them, Settle is "Warmer" on Alabama, Ohio State and Virginia, but also "warm" on Florida and Oklahoma.
August 16th, 2013 at 2:38 PM ^
I'm thinking his "Warmer" list on 247 will include Michigan after his vist for UTL II.
August 16th, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
If it doesn't say "Balls Hot" I will be let down.
August 16th, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
We need to get Hand to get Settle, without a doubt.
August 16th, 2013 at 3:02 PM ^
Does anyone know if either of Peppers or Campbell will be at the game? It'd be nice if they were there to, um, suggest that Mich is a good choice for these two young men.
August 16th, 2013 at 4:03 PM ^
August 16th, 2013 at 4:14 PM ^
Correct. That was one of the strangest games ever. It started as the most awful game ever (It was a heat index of like 110 degrees.....I couldn't stop sweating during the tailgate) and ended one of the freakiest with the crazy storm and weather delays and finally cancellation.
August 16th, 2013 at 5:35 PM ^
Yeah, I remember how excited I was when the rain started.
I did leave after a while, which turned out to be a great idea. Michigan was hammering Western and I ended up not missing any snaps. Remember how scared we all were going into that game?

otherwise known as "Under The Thunderstorm" game. I remember heading back to my car parked to the southwest, seeing the skies getting dark again, and thinking "we aren't making it back in time before that hits". We didn't. Nice picture of MM though.

I would also like to see the Mayor and the Commish on campus "suggesting" things
August 16th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
schools somewhere, but I didn't see Michigan on it. But, if he comes to this game, I'd have to think we will be on the list at least. If Hand ends up coming here and he has a good relationship with Settle, that could be big for us.
August 16th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
It all starts with the big men in the trenches. I love the fact that Hoke puts such an emphasis on recruiting top talent on the O-Line and D-Line.
