Aaand, yes. That is exactly who I guessed would have combed the student directory. How fine is the line between researching and stalking??

The same can be said about peering through someone's bedroom window at night if their blinds are cracked open.  Or staring at a woman through binoculars from across the bar. 

Things can be both viewable to the public and also creepy.

I don't, and I could live my life in serenity if I never knew the status.  Still, for those who hang on every last bit of information regarding a recruit up to and including the LOI, I should think they would be interested to learn that the recruit they know will transform the football team will in fact be enrolled and be part of that team.

Ahhh yes that time of year where WD posts what he finds in the directory then people make fun of him for it. The mgoblog circle of life.

Haha. This was a post where I didn’t even need to complain to Seth that we should be able to see the author prior to clicking. I would have bet a paycheck it was WD.

One of these days, we're going to need to survey other Big Ten blogs and ask how many of them use the campus e-mail directory for minor scoops on the status of their recruiting classes. Not a knock on the idea, of course, but it does seem rather unusual on its surface even though admittedly it is probably one of the most reliable sources.

Good stuff, and hats off for your resourcefulness WD.  In four years when these kids are graduating seniors, it will be interesting to see what kind of players they become. If the 21st ranked recruiting class in the country turns out to have six NFL draft picks and four 10 win seasons, it will be safe to say that Coach Harbaugh and staff did their job in talent evaluation and development.  The converse could also be true, but as a speculating fan, I choose optimism.

As a long time stalker of this blog and an occasional poster. I love WolverineDevotee's dedication to his craft and the annual "everyone is officially enrolled per directory" is something I look forward to. Thanks WD.

I imagine Welschof had some extra paperwork and visa issues to wait for, so it's not a surprise that he would take more time (currently dealing with some of that myself) - nice to hear they're all in :)
