Hello, Richard Ash!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:18 PM ^
A huge get on the defensive side on the ball.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:27 PM ^
Welcome to the good side, Richard!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:19 PM ^
are belong to us!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:20 PM ^
Pahokee pipeline lives here.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:21 PM ^
Welcome to the greatest University in the world, we cant wait to you get here. Go Blue!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:21 PM ^
That leaves the door open for more Pahokee recruits. Also a big pick up IMO
December 16th, 2009 at 6:21 PM ^
Sam Webb gut feeling = surest thing in life
December 16th, 2009 at 6:22 PM ^
I, for one, welcome our new Pahokee overlords.
Pahokee4life.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:22 PM ^
please qualify please
December 17th, 2009 at 12:46 AM ^
...I can't have children."
December 16th, 2009 at 6:36 PM ^
I agree. We need all the DTs we can get.
Ash reports a 2.5 core GPA and a 16 ACT, which he will retake. Study up! We need ya.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:39 PM ^
wow sorry everyone all i was saying was please qualify because we need you? maybe i should have actually added that last part
December 17th, 2009 at 10:19 AM ^
Holy shit! A Descendents fan! The proud, the few! I actually have that exact photo tattooed on my leg.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:43 PM ^
Nice stereotype you dread-ist fuck!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:27 PM ^
but he has offers from LSU and USC, and those guys aren't exactly hurting for D-line help. I'm inclined to think this is a very big commit for U of M.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:29 PM ^
And Tennessee!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:56 PM ^
Hostesses are overrated.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:26 PM ^
This really does help ease my fears to a great extent. We CAN get top-quality defensive guys here. I realize my fears were unfounded, but the last couple of years have wrought havoc on my mental state.
December 16th, 2009 at 7:13 PM ^
We seem to be better at getting stud d-lineman - Campbell, Roh, Graham, and Woodley way back when - than LB's.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:54 PM ^
Rich Rod great job!! I see light at the end of the tunnel.
Mr. Ash,
Welcome to the greatest university in the world. Take advantage of everything it offers, from academics to all the activities available. Bring some warm clothes and go Blue!!
December 16th, 2009 at 7:06 PM ^
Everything a muppet touches turns to gold
December 16th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
OMG I love your MGoPicture. Who is he hugging?
December 16th, 2009 at 10:59 PM ^
Looks like Braylon.
December 16th, 2009 at 11:28 PM ^
After MSU?
December 16th, 2009 at 11:43 PM ^
it was after the Rose Bowl against Texas.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:31 PM ^
Glad to see we fixed the "clog" in the Pahokee to Michigan Pipeline...
December 16th, 2009 at 6:42 PM ^
I think the clog might've had some help being fixed by The Clod, aka Lane Kiffin.
Note: I just like taking shots at the much lesser Kiffin, I know that he didn't have anything to do with it.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:45 PM ^
THANK YOU JESUS. MAY ALL HIS CHRISTMAS WISHES COME TRUE.
NICLEY DONE YOUNG MAN!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:45 PM ^
Just saw that rivals listed him as a four star, very impressive offers! Welcome to the family!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:49 PM ^
We should make him cookies, too!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:52 PM ^
Great job Coach Smith! Awesome pickup for the good guys!
December 16th, 2009 at 7:10 PM ^
This could size up to be a very big recruiting weekend!
December 16th, 2009 at 7:11 PM ^
next up Furman, Grimes, Murphy, and then it's a toss up between Hankins/Parker with an outside shot of Jefferson. We should end well.
December 16th, 2009 at 7:17 PM ^
Pahokee! Odoms, Smith, Hawthorne, Ash ... keep 'em coming Rich Rod.
December 16th, 2009 at 7:34 PM ^
I am loving this recruiting class. Quality teams are built in the trenches and RichRod and staff are doing just that. Next fall we'll have at least eight quality offensive linemen with three years of remaining eligibility or more. On defense, we have a chance to add Talbott, Ash and (hopefully) Hankins at DT along with Wilkins, Paskorz and (presumably) Murphy at DE. That deep and talented group only has to back up a bunch of 3-4 year starters in Van Bergen, Martin, Campbell and Roh (who should start as a group for the next two years).
Things are looking up.
December 16th, 2009 at 7:43 PM ^
Welcome to The Team, The Team, The Team Ash! Looking forward to some hard hits in the Big House!
December 16th, 2009 at 7:46 PM ^
Richard Ash welcome to Michigan. Your friends and family must be very proud and excited for you. As a Michigan Fan, I'm very happy that you selected Michigan, our defense needs your help. Must be wild knowing that your going to play in front of 100,000 fans and millions watching you on TV. Again, welcome Mr. Ash-Go Blue!
December 16th, 2009 at 7:57 PM ^
Can't wait to see you in the maize and blue! But please don't forget your academics and study hard and finish strong!
December 16th, 2009 at 8:03 PM ^
we all want to be. Furman is next !
December 16th, 2009 at 8:17 PM ^
Michigans D-Line is really starting to look nice for the next couple years with this pick up, now we just need better play form the linebackers and secondary and our D will be one of the best in the big 10 easily imo
December 16th, 2009 at 9:17 PM ^
After this class and RS frosh Vlad and JT, I'd say our secondary is well on it's way to improvement in a year or two.
The only spots on the D I'm not very excited about are the 2 ILB spots, but they could very well come together too. They need to be the top priority in D recruiting next year though.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:28 PM ^
Furman would likely fill one of those spots at ILB, no? I know he's only one guy, but it's a start (assuming he's blue)
December 17th, 2009 at 10:53 AM ^
Furman is being recruited to play Stevie Brown's SAM position.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:24 PM ^
Great news. Now can we get Furman to commit this weekend, followed up by a win at Kansas? Could,no,WILL be a great week to be a wolverine.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:48 PM ^
Hail the recruiting staff on this one
December 16th, 2009 at 9:37 PM ^
welcome to A2 - you'll look good in the wings mr ash ! get ready to have the time of your life !!
December 16th, 2009 at 9:47 PM ^
Anyone have season tickets for sale in row "A"?
If you build it, a NC will come!
Welcome Mr. Ash!!! Thanks RR!!!
