Angry Cats Fired Toward Nebraska - TE Commit Matt Snyder to Join DE Reuben Jones on Campus this Weekend
A pair of Nebraska commits will be joining the festivities in Ann Arbor this weekend as Harbaugh welcomes Mike Riley to the Big 10. Just in - Jay H and Drevno convinced 3 star TE Matt Snyder to come visit (this would appear to be be a backup plan if Clark goes Bruins), but he sounded like he was interested anyhow.
"I had pretty much decided that I wanted to take the visit," Snyder said. "It was more about working out the details with the coaches today and getting to meet them. They were friendly and really easy to talk with. We talked a lot about football but other stuff as well."
I believe Snyder had committed to Riley at Oregon State, and then followed him to Nebraska on 12/30.
Reuben Jones, a 3 star out of FL - also a NE commit - was already planning to visit. Jones from all indications is not in the same warm fuzzy zone with Riley's staff as he was with Petrino's Pelini's. Jones is Frank Clark type size out of HS, but actually plays the position rather than S. He also is familiar with Michigan thru the Tigers who camp in his hometown. ;) Jones sounds like a pretty realistic opportunity. Jones has offers from MSU and Iowa (among others) - 2 staffs good at finding defensive talent at the 3 star level. He would be the type of pickup you'd be very happy with in a transition recruiting year.
Jones was offered by the coaching staff two weeks ago and has expressed heavy interest in the Wolverines, who are believed to be a potential leader for his services, depending on the outcome of the official.
Ace discussed both guys on front page today.

For all the rivals' talk of us being irrelevant, they sure do make a lot of Harbaugh/Michigan threads.
I would say we make an OSU or MSU thread maybe 1-2 a week at tops?
RCMB and 11W make about 3-4 a week. It's quite funny.

Part of what fuels Sparty hatred is the fact that a 5-7 Michigan team is more relevant than an 11-2 Sparty team.

like its hitting the fan right now. love the update, but can you maybe try to edit your title.
January 19th, 2015 at 9:07 PM ^
Fair point.
January 19th, 2015 at 8:56 PM ^
January 19th, 2015 at 9:04 PM ^
Your right, I just got done watching Ride Along and when I read this title I thought the worst for a second.
January 19th, 2015 at 9:07 PM ^
Funny movie imo.

Please don't turn this into politics particulalry when your "in" to doing so is a pretty big exaggeration.

I'm sure I'm joining everyone else in saying this but "Shots fired at Nebraska" should be a headline reserved only for actual emergencies where there is a gunman on campus.
January 19th, 2015 at 9:01 PM ^
January 19th, 2015 at 9:16 PM ^
Edited, and apology tweeted to Faux Pelini.
January 19th, 2015 at 9:01 PM ^
Awful title. Maybe an edit is in order.

I figured that the /s wasn't needed. But some people just don't get it.

Sorry, didn't get the memo and didn’t get it.
First off, your comment does have a valid point as empirically BH did seem to target and get a higher rated recruit. However, as we saw he did not develop them well and maybe JH given his limited time to NSD is going after good players that he thinks he can get.
Secondly, there are still a lot of BH apologists and fans on this site who wish he was still here and just needed more time, so not sure if you were one of them.
Finally, written word does not always convey sarcasm and surprise well as it lacks the tonal inflection of the spoken word.

I think everyone has reached an understanding that a pool of 100 five stars will generate more top end players than a pool of 100 four stars. And 100 four stars will generate more than 100 three stars.
But that's at the 40,000 foot level; each individual player within any pool of 100 is their own story and situation.
I also think many just baughlieve in Jim; which they should. The more I look back at the 2007 win over USC the more it is nuts. Yes the team record was not great in year 1 at Stanford but to take a 1-11 squad the prior year and beat that era's Alabama is amazing.
The "worst" players Jim is recruiting at UM now would be akin to te best he could get at Stanford the first few years (ex Luck). He had not made a name for himself at FBS so it wasn't until his 3rd class at Stanford when he finally started to bring in a class more like say Nebraska than like Purdue. And even then his pool was limited by Stanford's academic policies.

oh my! much better than first title, now hoping one of the very talented mgobloggers comes up with a gif to match...
January 19th, 2015 at 9:14 PM ^
January 19th, 2015 at 9:18 PM ^
would come through.
i mean, if that isn't the exact perfect gif then i don't know what is. thank you.
January 19th, 2015 at 9:24 PM ^
I was thinking of Harbaugh sitting at the edge of Nebraska's campus sending in hordes of cats via catapults.... but this will do.
January 19th, 2015 at 9:37 PM ^
Do want.
January 19th, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^
January 19th, 2015 at 9:06 PM ^
Now it's completely understandable. Previous title too confusing /s

You might want to change the title. My aunt had angry cats fired at her, it was a very traumatic experience.
