Early Report on 2016 5* RB Kareem Walker's visit
First post, please be gentle. I checked the board and didn't see this posted yet.
There's not a ton of information, but it appears Kareem Walker enjoyed his visit (how could he not after that game), and has legitimate interest in Michigan. As most of you probably know, Walker is close with several major Michigan commits/target from NJ.
There have also been rumblings in the twitterverse that Walker might be trying to come back for another visit this weekend for the game against MSU, but I didn't see any official sources corroborating that information yet. If true, this could be very good news for Michigan.

How do we know that the guy in the hat isn't thinking, "Yeah, I know, Noah. But this is the only shot I'll ever get. And what could be better than end-of-the-world sex?"

I want this guy to be the one to come on here in the next two years to say "DRMANTISTOBOGGAN TOLD ALL OF YOU PEASANTS THAT JOHN OKORN WOULD BE THE BEST QB IN THE CONFERENCE AND LEAD US TO A NATIONAL TITLE. WHERE WAS HE EVER WRONG IN HIS LIFE?!?!"

Excellent foresight... less than excellent humility and class.

ok Nostradamus...

It's rare that I log in just to neg someone. You can add that to your list of accomplishments.
October 12th, 2015 at 8:19 AM ^
but we are glad you think so much of yourself. GO SELF ESTEEM!
October 12th, 2015 at 8:28 AM ^
Might want to recheck your ranking of UM's defense and offense. While I think they're great too, the defense is currently #2 behind Boston College in total defense. That's close to #1 but still, not #1.
Total offense? You're not even in the neighborhood. #78 in total offense.
October 12th, 2015 at 9:01 AM ^
we get all full of ourselves lets wait and see how this weekends game plays out. How many seasons in the last 8 have been derailed by the MSU game? I think its a huge mistake to underestimate sparty. Whatever issues they have with their team right now, what they do have is an NFL caliber QB. What I saw in the Rutgers game was after getting thrown to the turf for an 8 yard loss, Connor Cook got up on a 3rd and 18 and picked out a secondary reciever that was open and threw a dart for a first down on a drive to a TD. This guy has won bowl games and come from behind games. Don't underestimate MSU. Yes I am excited about this year like everyone buuut...stats and rankings don't win football games, lets not gloat until after the game is over and we are victorious!
October 12th, 2015 at 9:07 AM ^
Yeah, it's going to be hard to move the ball on our defense, but if there is one guy that can do it, it's Cook and his recievers. He's going to hit all those slants that all of the other QBs we've faced have been dropping, and his recievers are going to get all those YACs that other recievers we've faced have not been getting.
I want to see how our D reacts when they have been punched in the mouth.
This game will still need to be won the way all Michigan-Michigan State games have been won the last 50 years - control the LOS, be able to run the ball, avoid mistakes. If we are going to win, we will need to contain Cook as well as we can and be able to run the ball with Smith and company.
The focus is on Cook and Rudock, but it will still come down to OL vs. DL and the RBs.

This is 100% accurate and will be preached by the coaches all this week. Our guys will be ready.

save the gloating until that happens.
October 11th, 2015 at 10:48 PM ^
Sam mentioned him coming back this week as a possibility.
October 11th, 2015 at 10:53 PM ^
the game against Sparty. I'm wondering if the other Kareem will come back into the picture since he was wanting to "win now" with Alabama.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:04 PM ^
I get the impression that we aren't pursuing him all that hard anymore. Other targets and running out of room.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:05 PM ^
Agreed. Doesn't sound like he still has a spot.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:28 PM ^
with, just in case they have a spot available near signing day.

I'm excited about our current recruits too, but apparently Harbaugh sees something he likes in Walker since he appears to be making quite a push. Either way, competition never hurts.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:19 PM ^
October 11th, 2015 at 11:28 PM ^
Fair enough, I assumed if Harbaugh & Co. weren't seeking him out he probably wouldn't have decided to visit us. That isn't necessarily the case. If I had to guess though, I would think Harbaugh at least likes him enough to take him in the class or he wouldn't have been here last weekend.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:33 PM ^
At this point, I would assume that means they're pursuing him. It's hard to be certain, but I think they are holding off scheduling official visits with recruits they're not willing to take at the moment.

October 11th, 2015 at 11:09 PM ^
Kinda agree on Walker. He looks good but doesn't look like a must get future heisman winner game changer.
October 12th, 2015 at 8:31 AM ^
His film is pretty damn impressive IMO. He reminds me of Green in no way whatsoever. Not sure what you watched...
October 12th, 2015 at 9:15 AM ^
October 12th, 2015 at 10:59 AM ^
I must not be good at watching film then because I thought Walker's looked impressive. He is very light on his feet and his ability to make a subtle cut in tight quarters looked like an ideal match for a Harbaugh inside running game. Sure looked impressive to me.
October 11th, 2015 at 10:53 PM ^
this will be the state of michigan at 7:00pm Saturday

Dantonio looks really old next to Harbaugh. I didn't think he was that old.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:12 PM ^
October 11th, 2015 at 11:26 PM ^
It ages a man.
October 12th, 2015 at 5:52 AM ^
See, he's got it all wrong..instead of laying in it, he'd be better off rolling some and having a smoke...might help him relax a bit.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:49 PM ^
Dantonio was born with an old and crabby soul, and carrying that around for a lifetime wears you down.
October 12th, 2015 at 12:41 AM ^
One man looks to be driven by anger, hate, venom...the other, pure joy! Who would you rather play for? Who would you rather have a beer with?? Who would you rather have in your living room with your mom and dad as a rising high school Jr.??? I like the look of our future when i see this pic.
October 12th, 2015 at 7:39 AM ^
of feeling disrespected all the time.
October 11th, 2015 at 10:53 PM ^
October 11th, 2015 at 11:03 PM ^
Agreed - and might be more important. Walker is the bigger recruit, but we've got a few RBs in this class and I don't doubt Harbaigh's ability to bring them in. We need to up our CB recruiting and Lavert Hill is a very good one. Keeping good with King HS is also a plus.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:09 PM ^
I was excited to see Hill is coming to the game as well. That would be a great flip, I would love to see him in Maize and Blue.
October 11th, 2015 at 11:40 PM ^
for yesterday. I just hope he doesn't wait too long.
October 12th, 2015 at 12:22 AM ^
I found it interesting that Hills PSU OV is the weekend they are playing Michigan.
October 12th, 2015 at 8:55 AM ^
play a road game. Makes sense to me, even if he really wants to go to PSU. A very practical clan.
October 12th, 2015 at 9:21 AM ^
We're the only even half decent opponent they meet at home. Illinois is probably #2.
