Sam Webb on Sean Parker
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:34 PM ^
Good news on Parker. Signing day should be really interesting this year, especially with all the safety prospects in play (Parker, Knight, Dorsey).
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:35 PM ^
I sure hope he is right. I really want us to land Parker.
Thanks for the update.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
I should stop drinking beer.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
those White Castles you ate 2 days ago? Yeah, those are still around.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:00 PM ^
Usually when I have White Castle it doesn't last for so long in my gut, along with anything else I eat for the next week.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:56 PM ^
I don't think our young padawan understands the origin of the term "Slider"
January 22nd, 2010 at 3:59 PM ^
I can tell you that my gut is thankful that the nearest White Castle is over 60 miles from my house.
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:18 PM ^
you're gut or your butt hole?
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:39 PM ^
Tell your gut to stfu!
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:01 PM ^
Great High Fidelity pull
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:31 PM ^
Awesome. High Fidelity for the win

Don't mind if I do!!!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
without beer
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:43 PM ^
Does anyone know if RR has used his in home visit with Parker yet? Next week would be great timing for one. Even bring Greg Robinson and his super bowl rings.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:45 PM ^
I know that in NCAA Football 2010, I like to save my in home visits for when their interest bar is nearly full. I'm sure that is what RR does too.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:50 PM ^
Set the activities as Academic Prestige, Early Playing Time, and Program Tradition for the in home visit?
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
Double Post. Move along
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:52 PM ^
You don't need to see our identification.
We don't need to see their identification.
We can go about our business

Move along.
Move along, move along.

Why can I never find the droid I'm looking for?
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:05 PM ^
He looks like he saying "Fuck! Now how am I going to explain this to Vader?"
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:48 PM ^
I'm pretty sure Coach Rod and two other members of the staff visited him in-home recently. Not sure if Coach Robinson brought his bling.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
Coach Robinson should always bring his bling.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:58 PM ^
Per scout the 3 coaches who did an in home with Sean this last week were G-Rob, Dews, and Gibson. RR is expected to do an in home with Sean next week.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:00 PM ^
Dews, Gibson and GERG visited Parker this week.
RR was in Louisiana, Florida and North and South Carolina this week visiting commits for 2010 (Carvin, Cone Bone 2.0) and recruits for 2011 (LeMay?).
RR is using his in-home visit with Parker as close to the end of this live period as he can, since he knows that Kiffin and Orgeron are going to break every NCAA rule they can regarding dead periods to sign Parker.
This makes me wonder if RR would, in recruiting against slime like Kiffin, would bring a copy of the Rule with him and show it to the recruits and their parents, in order to say, in effect, "Look what the rules say, look what I'm doing, watch what Kiffin does." For a kid with a 3.8 GPA who wants to go to Business School, this could be rather effective.
January 22nd, 2010 at 3:16 PM ^
for calling out Kiffin specifically. I'd rather he just say "watch what your other suitors do, whoever they are." I don't want negative recruiting, even if it's true.
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
I agree with you.
Hence, the words "in effect" in my original post.
It's passive aggressive and subtle, but it would be very effective.
January 24th, 2010 at 7:24 PM ^
Missed that part, should have said I agree completely.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:48 PM ^
the coaching change did not affect his decision (although that was before the reported visit with Monte).
Of course, Sam's gut feelings are only as good as the information he gets from the recruit, which is not cast in stone and can change.
When Grimes likely gave Sam a reason for a gut feeling, at the time I am sure it was true, but then Grimes experienced playing in the cold and did not like it, and his outlook changed.
Sam was not wrong, but things changed. Tom VH was unable to get any read from Parker, but if Sam Webb talked to Paker after the Kiffin visit and still has the gut feeling, you should feel pretty optimistic.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:01 PM ^
I thought Tom couldn't get a read on Demar Dorsey.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:23 PM ^
hit the Tom tab in the sidebar - Tom spoke with Parker within the last few days and said that Parker is keeping his cards close to the vest.
I think his take on Dorsey was that he liked the visit but was not likely to commit.
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:55 PM ^
For what it's worth Scout had an article today where 2 of it's gurus predict where they think the top 20 or so big names will land. They both think Parker will go to USC. Not sure what they're basing it on though.
Also they both think that Jibreel Black is a Bearcat.
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:13 PM ^
Sean is an excellent student and is aiming at Business school (like Hagerup). Score one for the biz school please.
Hopefully RR makes that point again, along with other sundry football points. If academics rule the day...Ross wins by a nose over Haas (Berkley). Sounds like Sean and co. are heavily weighting the academic piece.
Sounds like a Michigan man to me, but there's more to it obviously.
If he does come...Will and Sean would follow in the footsteps of the Space Emperor and others (Fitzgerald, Heininger, North, Olesnavage, Therman...) as future millionaires. Go Blue!
January 23rd, 2010 at 2:00 AM ^
The issue really might come down to business school. Michigan cannot gaurantee acceptance into Ross, however Kiffin might be able to gaurantee acceptance into Marshall. USC is a private school, they will do anything to make profit, believe me I went to both Universities. It is unfortunate but I believe in the end of the day Sean Parker will go with USC because the will offer him a spot in their business school. It is pure speculation, but if I'm sure Kiffin has mentioned it. I will say this for college expereince USC is not even close. It is in downtown LA, all concrete, it feels like going to school at a maximum security prison. The campus is nice, but it is nothing like Ann Arbor, a beautiful college town with culture and niche. If Parker cares at all about the college experience than this one is blue. However most 18 year kids don't understand things like that.
