Filling Out the Class - Weekend Edition
Trying to sleuth out the class, more for "how many spots can we take" - max 30.
Thesis
- We have 22 commits
- 3 gone so back to 19 - Elliott, Johnson, Weaver
- 2 added by 8 pm , back to 21- Uche, Mmmbop
- Silently (?) - Stewart, McDoom
- Added in my heart - Gary
- Warm feelings - Allen, Hudson
- Once academics clear = offer = Sam gut = sad Frankin - Dwumfour
Take you back up to 27. DiscussMan from there on spots 28-30. If you get both kids out of Cali (no speculation that is happening) you basically have 1 slot it seems. If not, then 3 max?
Discussion points
- Will Dytarious Johnson remain in class - filling a swim lane?
- WD says Hill gone due to Scout premium, no King player ever again to UM in our life until coaches gone.
- Onwenu flip chances small
- Fuller seems OSUish
- Murphy - very quiet
- Do we get either of the 2 Cali kids currently on campus? Both? If Asiasi do they take both Allen and he (I assume yes)
- Pie - still out there; always out there
- Nordin - Baxter or us?
- Viramontes - final 3 Cal, Utah, UM
- EJ Price and Isaiah Simmons at this point not visiting UM, unlikely end points.
- (EDIT) J. Jones - all the ballz to ND of late

The Mmmbop thing was a way to refer to Mbem-Bosse and the somewhat mystifying inability of most recruiting reporters to pronounce his name.
In other words, it was a joke on a name and not a shot at our beloved college student over-poster.

Call me Rosenberg, but you're stretching too much

lmao. Love it.

Actually I didn't hear that.
I thought i was being creative. I got out Aquamanned! Damnit.

I think Lorenz said EMB on the MGoPodcast.
January 24th, 2016 at 8:14 PM ^
MMMMbop is as mean spritied as every cultural reference Berman has thrown on players for a few decades. It's a playful term.
As for WD honestly I think I've been largely supportive of him writing multiple times when people ask him about his personal life, dating, etc that why do you care etc.
Mr Yost and I talk every football Saturday for hours on end in non UM game threads - I teased him today, he got a bit peevy. I'll get a bit peevy at him in a few months on something. Life will go on.
I'm sorry I peed in your Cheerios today (ok not really) oops that was snark.

At least you didn't pee in his ear! -Tim Miles

Alum brings a lot to this board and I appreciate that very much. Why bitch about trivial things man?

This I can agree with.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:29 PM ^
It really, really seems like Connor Murphy will be blue if the staff thinks he's a take. To be honest, it's seemed that way since the beginning of his recruitment.
I don't have the same skepticism about Lavert Hill. I genuinely think it's about a 50/50 shot, but I don't think it's as bleak as people are saying. As for DPJ, he's a Cass Tech kid, not a King kid. DPJ is a must get recruit and is neither a shoo-in nor a goner.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:32 PM ^
Thank you - I had an Ambry Thomas @ King flare up. DPJ = Cass Tech = So you're saying there's a chance? Nice.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:34 PM ^
Ambry Thomas... is probably a goner. Yes. And that totally sucks, because he's one hell of a player.
Hope I'm wrong, there. I understand he's a good dude too.

Did something happen recently with Detroit King, or is it like Farmington where they've always been an MSU school?
January 24th, 2016 at 5:41 PM ^
Norfleet recently. Not sure what before that has them hating us.
I think Jim and Coach Wheatley would be well served to do a slumber party w/ King coaches.

Apologies if this has been explained but Jesus how fucking immature for HS coaches to totally steer guys away from this University, M degree, and objectively impressive coaching staff for whatever petty beef they have.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:12 PM ^
Not saying I agree that this describes Michigan, but if you thought a school viewed your kids as disposable or that they're dishonest--something along those lines--then you steer your kids from that school/staff.
Not sure if any of this actually applies to Norfleet, but this is one excellent lesson for the repercussions of cutthroat recruiting practices.

King coaches are upset that Harbaugh didn't visit their school last year when he was hired but he went to Cass. They are also mad that Mich is breaking their necks recruiting the Jersey boys but couldn't give the Big three kids at King their undivided attention. Finally, Blackwell is associated with King.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:54 PM ^
January 24th, 2016 at 6:07 PM ^
I highly doubt that any coach would ever say that publicly. OTOH, as you know the coaches have a lot of influence and can tell the kids "inside" stuff and help steer the kids to wherever they want.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:56 PM ^
DPJ's twitter looks like he's all OSU at this point.
January 25th, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
not after meyer leaves.

Ooooooo, guns, guns, guns! Come on, Sal! The Tigers are playin'...to-night!
And I never miss a game...

January 24th, 2016 at 5:33 PM ^
I like the nickname of "Mmmbop"

January 24th, 2016 at 7:19 PM ^
We're giving that to Boss Tagaloa, of course, when he and Devin Asiasi shock everyone and go blue after a weekend of bonding during the snow days . . .
January 24th, 2016 at 5:33 PM ^
Also apparently Sam Webb said there are rumors Hill is gonna be/has been on campus today. I haven't seen any confirmation, but if true he's coming straight from his MSU official. 247 also has his reaction to the visit and it's pretty muted.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:36 PM ^
Elliotts gone, but at least we have 2 more of them.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:36 PM ^
Don't quote me but I think WD said in another thread he'd eat a cactus and a python if we land Hill.
So I want Hill.

Well then. Gary is 1A and Hill is 1B. Carry on.
