Some Sam Webb tidbits from this morning's show
-We should be on commit watch this weekend. He wouldn't say who but sounded pretty confident there's a very high chance one recruit in particular plans to commit
-Chatsports is a joke. They literally have zero sources and just make shit up. Sam wouldn't even say their name on the radio. He just referred to them as the joke site peddling the made up Kareem Walker story
-Michigan is not pursuing Khalid Kareem. He was being looked at as a buck or DE but Michigan has Carlos Kemp higher on the boards at buck and Gary higher at DE (obvs) and theyre in good position to land both.

he otherwise looks awful!

No, could you explain it?
October 15th, 2015 at 9:18 AM ^
I literally have no idea myself
October 15th, 2015 at 10:46 AM ^
It's a play on words or a pun. Since we use the "web" to view this information presented about "Webb".
You may coorelate it like this:
Webb = web = Internet. (Interweb is not a word)
Some may perceive this a clever play on words, others may see it as cute, while others may roll thier eyes at the snark. A few may scratch their heads.
You guys good with this explaination?
October 15th, 2015 at 11:10 AM ^
but not so good with your sarcasm meter or spelling

Seems like Kareem leaning to ND would actually help with the Kemp recruitment considering they play the same spot.
October 15th, 2015 at 9:44 AM ^
recruited as a buck and the staff no longer thinks Kareem could fit there. Not sure if ND is recruiting them for the same position.
October 15th, 2015 at 9:52 AM ^
I've always thought Kareem is more of a SDE than a Buck/WDE. Michigan is already pretty solid at that position with guys in the fold and the potential for Gary (who can play SDE or inside, most likely inside IMO).
Johnson, IMO, is a very similar player as Kareem. Most likely a SDE eventually. This is why I think Michigan is really going after another Buck in this class. Weaver is a SDE/DT type. So that's two guys already in the that are close to what Kareem would eventually be. They really need another interior guy (hopefully Gary; with the potential of one of the OL recruits flipping to the defensive side, most likely Onwenu or Hamilton) and a true Buck.
October 15th, 2015 at 10:51 AM ^
I agree on Kareem. I think he's too stiff to be a Buck linebacker.
October 15th, 2015 at 12:28 PM ^
How good of a prospect is he at DE? I remember you saying when he committed to Bama that you were not very disappointed.
October 15th, 2015 at 1:15 PM ^
I think he's an okay prospect. I don't think he's a guy who would be a huge bust or anything, but I think Michigan has/had better players on their board. I think he's too stiff for WDE and not powerful enough for SDE, so he's a tweener who could play but probably isn't a potential star.
October 15th, 2015 at 3:14 PM ^
Why do you ask ?
October 15th, 2015 at 8:53 AM ^
But Rico Beard said Khalid Kareem is someone we desperately need in the Detroit News yesterday....idiot
October 15th, 2015 at 8:58 AM ^
Why would he say that?
Ryan and Rico
Oh... never mind.
October 15th, 2015 at 9:38 AM ^
From the small handful of times I've heard Beard, as well as from reading his tweets, he seems to carry a Terry Foster level of idiocy. Also, Jeff Moss retweeted somebody saying Scott "The Gator" Anderson proclaimed yesterday that the Lions would win a playoff game before Michigan. Good times!
October 15th, 2015 at 10:46 AM ^
Believing that takes a unique and very special brand of stupid.
October 15th, 2015 at 2:08 PM ^
Gator is Doug Karsch's partner on 97.1, He's a big-time Sparty as are most of the hosts on 97.1. It's why the station becomes borderline unlistenable during football season.
If the Lions had competent ownership, it wouldn't be too unbelievable as a lot more NFL teams make the playoffs every year and frankly the Lions were a picked up flag away from a playoff win last year, one could imagine they might pull their heads out of their asses next year, after all hope springs eternal.

October 15th, 2015 at 1:23 PM ^
I caught that too and was like WTF?
October 15th, 2015 at 8:57 AM ^
Got a pretty good idea of who the possible recruit is. I don't want to kick around any names though.

Upvote for subtlely (relatively speaking).
October 15th, 2015 at 9:20 AM ^
You're punting on this one??
October 15th, 2015 at 9:22 AM ^
There are at least two who could potentially commit.
October 15th, 2015 at 9:25 AM ^
That's what I figured as well, I was just guessing as to the (most likely?) one Sam was alluding to. There are 3 names that, if they committed after a big Michigan win, would not surprise me at all.
October 15th, 2015 at 9:49 AM ^
might there be 4?
October 15th, 2015 at 10:50 AM ^
who wouldn't commit? I would get on board before the spots fill up!
Look at what Harbaugh has done for other teams then look at the trajectory of this team.
October 15th, 2015 at 11:11 AM ^
October 15th, 2015 at 9:55 AM ^
My feeling after his initial commitment, and the way he talked, was that he was hoping he still had an offer from Michigan but it didn't seem likely. Then he went elsewhere.
It was my feeling that he was hoping that the offer would become available again, but with the numbers crunch, I'm not sure if it is or not.
Yes, I know I'm not being subtle here, but it seemed to me that this recruit, though with an offer, wasn't committable at the time and may not be yet, though he's keeping the option open.
October 15th, 2015 at 10:35 AM ^
October 15th, 2015 at 12:43 PM ^
I think they are realizing Andrew David is not someone they can count on or maybe the kid is going to transfer.
So Nordin did not have a commitable offer before, but now he probably does.
I had high hopes for David after the report he drilled 14 of 15 from 50 yards (off the grass) before Hoke & some coaches. Then the reports from his senior season didn't sound the best. I was hoping once he got to campus he would get everything straightened out. Maybe he still will, but if they do give a scholarship to Nordin, that definitely sends a strong message.
October 15th, 2015 at 11:14 AM ^
You've obviously been spending too much time at 11warriors if you're talking about whether the offer was a 'committable offer' or not.
October 15th, 2015 at 11:41 AM ^
I don't think the offer was given but he was told he couldn't commit. But I do think he was given an offer and then Michigan got a bunch of other commits and then they weren't certain if they had room for a kicker anymore. His quotes before he initially committed basically said as much.
It's not about fake offers, it's about running out of room. Kareem has an offer, but if he wanted to commit tomorrow I'm not sure Michigan would take him. That doesn't take anything away from him as a player, it just means they have other priorities, and that's the reality of recruiting in college sports.
October 15th, 2015 at 10:44 AM ^
Well, then...
