2016 WR Desmond Fitzpatrick visiting tomorrow
This will be the second time he has visited in less than a week. Perhaps a flip is in order in the near future (he's currently a Louisville commit)?

Interesting.

UM lock
February 24th, 2015 at 12:21 AM ^
He's kind of slow off the line of scrimmage but he has great hands
February 24th, 2015 at 12:27 AM ^
Yea doesn't seem to create a lot of separation. Possible future Tight End?

Possibly, but I cant see him finding any playing time with the talented tight ends we will bring in, in the '16 class
February 24th, 2015 at 12:57 AM ^
doesn't seem like a very fluid athlete. a little awkward before the catch and adjusting to the ball, although the qb is badly under throwing most
February 24th, 2015 at 3:22 AM ^
At 6'2 190, he's kind of small for a tight end.
February 24th, 2015 at 6:35 AM ^
Not even close.
February 24th, 2015 at 12:40 AM ^
From what film did you come to this conclusion? I have watched his film extensively, as well as Corley's, and IMO Fitz is the clear #1 WR in the state. Slow off the line is certainly not an issue, Louisville has a good eye for receivers as well, putting a bunch in the league the last few years.
February 24th, 2015 at 12:47 AM ^
You have to remember that there isn't a lot of in state talent at wide receiver. He very well may be the best in Michigan but I would take Austin Mack or Dylan Crawford over him 7 days out the week.
February 24th, 2015 at 1:15 AM ^
Corley is listed as a top 100 guy. 2 4* at a position is probably better than average for the state at WR. I think Crawford is better than Dez but I don't know where all the hate for him is coming from. Am I watching a different video?

I know Corley has the offer sheet, but his film just doesn't inspire me. HE is lacksadaisical off the line and runs slop routes. He looks like he just has good hands and athleticism and goes and plays unorganized, street ball. I agree Crawford is the best WR we are in good position for. I would love to get Fitzpatrick, I think he is a steal and if he does all the camps I am sure his ratings/offer sheet will increase.
February 24th, 2015 at 6:36 AM ^
I disagree. You might say Fitzpatrick is a better route runner, but Corley is superior in almost every other way.
February 24th, 2015 at 12:25 AM ^
Wings having a meltdown :(
February 24th, 2015 at 12:27 AM ^
As expected
February 24th, 2015 at 12:48 AM ^
Not a fast
February 24th, 2015 at 12:40 AM ^
not even a sparty offer? do we want?
February 24th, 2015 at 12:45 AM ^
I really don't understand why JH is making offers without Dantonio's blessing first.
February 24th, 2015 at 12:48 AM ^
just sayin, plus it's early in the game w an expected small class
February 24th, 2015 at 12:48 PM ^
Jim should be explaining his thought process and get input from random internet people before making such rash decisions.
just sayin.
February 24th, 2015 at 12:45 AM ^
Bobby Petrino gave him an offer and he's a very good football coach (even if he's a douche) so....
I'll take that as a positive especially if Harbs sees something in him too.
February 24th, 2015 at 1:07 AM ^
In Harbaugh I trust.
February 24th, 2015 at 12:48 AM ^
Michigan doesn't need to offer only players Sparty wants. Perhaps they had interest, but stopped looking at him due to his having standards.
February 24th, 2015 at 8:24 AM ^
I'm guessing his gpa is too high for sparty.
February 24th, 2015 at 12:48 AM ^
slightly more stiff in the hips Richard Sherman. Too many legit WR offers from kids we can get that are better pure WRs. If he comes here I'd bet he goes over to defense if we're ok at WR. Harbaugh has a history of basically grouping CB/S/WR together when scouting much like Carr did with CB/HB. He could eventually be a solid possession WR, a (IMO) better CB to put on an opponent's bigger/slower WR to lock him down and/or free range safety. Just my opinion.
February 24th, 2015 at 1:01 AM ^
In state recruit? (Yes!) Elite? (Not so sure)
February 24th, 2015 at 1:08 AM ^
Kid will end up on special teams.
February 24th, 2015 at 2:02 AM ^

February 24th, 2015 at 2:08 AM ^
lolol
February 24th, 2015 at 2:12 AM ^
oh man haha.
February 24th, 2015 at 2:15 AM ^
Don't come back until you can refrain from using offensive language and embarrassing your entire fanbase. I didn't know the Bobcats ever won a a National Title...interesting.
February 24th, 2015 at 4:06 AM ^
Damn I wish I knew what the troll said here...
February 24th, 2015 at 8:30 AM ^
you really don't.
February 24th, 2015 at 2:26 AM ^
Thanks for reminding us that, even when our team is down, we've still got it better than you simply because we aren't you
February 24th, 2015 at 2:30 AM ^
Get well soon.
February 24th, 2015 at 2:46 AM ^

How's that virginity thing working out?
February 24th, 2015 at 4:24 AM ^
Okay fuckface, hide behind your keyboard and say shit like that. I guess you forgot or are too stupid to know that we owned you over the weekend. Just like the rest of your fan base who is hard pressed to spell anything longer than four letters, you are so narrowly focused on the only sport that you sometimes win at. Keep up the bullshit talk dickhead, I'd be glad to leave you with your dick in the dirt in defense of this community. Move along fuckstick, move along.
February 24th, 2015 at 7:18 AM ^
So typical, get help
February 24th, 2015 at 7:29 AM ^
somebody just discovered the internet.

In November, Urbz will make Hairball kiss his ring and bend over. Can't wait to kick your ass again

After watching his film it is pretty clear that much work needs to be done to extract maximum potential. On routes working back towards the QB he fails to attack the ball which is a problem at the college level. Desmond also needs to pluck the ball at its highest point more often. In the highlights there wasn't much route variation, but the routes I did see didn't have Desmond doing much in the way of throttling down or using footwork / body to create separation. Obviously Desmond's top end speed isn't anything to write home about, and the competition he appears to be going against does not appear to be all that good.
Desmond possesses good, soft hands. Desmond has good focus which you can see on punt returns, and he also possesses good vision with the ball in his hands. Makes solid amount of yards after the catch. Another plus is his size. Once he gets a college weight program in his life and proper coaching on technique he has some solid upside for sure.
All in all Fitz would be a very nice pickup with high upside once he focuses on intangibles and football IQ. Excited to see how Fitz improves throughout this next year.
February 24th, 2015 at 3:35 AM ^
can't even master the art of trolling. Due to that failure I'm happy to know that he/they DEFINITELY haven't mastered the art of seeing a vagina in person. Moreover, if he/they actually drugged or roofied a woman enough to do so they'd have zero clue what to do. Less of them, more of us! The odds of a real life Idiocracy decrease! Yay!
February 24th, 2015 at 7:40 AM ^
This thread needs to be nuked by the mods. Not because it's a bad topic. Because it's one of the most pathetic string of comments I've ever seen. By OSU trolls, but also by Michigan fans questioning the offer. The 3 star mafia is back and stronger than ever it seems
February 24th, 2015 at 4:20 PM ^
He wouldn't even count. He's a 4* to 247 and scout. People are acting like this is Hoke recruiting Pallante. If I recall I think Des hasn't hit the camp circuit at all which is why his offers and ranking may seem low. He doesn't have elite speed but seems to everything else well. I really like how he seems to show good awareness to stay in bounds along the sidelines to make the catch.

that we are pushing really hard to get. Dylan Crawford, Donnie Corley, and Theo Howard are a few. Even Demetric Felton and Eli Stove are targets. Some of the Rivals analysts have indicated they may not let Fitzpatrick pull the trigger yet for a commitment.
Right now Fitzpatrick is committed to Louisville, but I think if JH wants him he will decommit for Michigan.
February 24th, 2015 at 10:43 AM ^
Tyrone Wheatley is recruiting so it seems the much ballyhooed "recruiting my position rather than geography" is not super accurate.
