Per Sam, Michigan will also hold satellite camps in Samoa and Hawaii
Camps also slated for Samoa and Hawaii... https://t.co/OJQUHA12Hw

Build a Pacific Islander Pipeline! Build it now!
And by being the first program to set up satellite camps in American Samoa, Samoa, and Hawaii, this is exacly what will happen.
Whatever arbitrary rules the NCAA adopts related to satellite camps in future years, being the first program to make it easy for Islanders to be noticed and recruited will be remembered for a long time. Having spent some years in the Pacific Islands, I learned these people know something about loyalty.
Mix these satellite camps with a measure of Tony Tuioti, and a dash of Sione Houma, and Harbaugh's got a recipe for making Michigan a Pacific Islander football factory.
It's going to be amazing.

PS - I have already seen some grumbling over at RCMB about MSU currently doing zero camps outside of SMSB since their national cache could justify camps in TX and FL. Of course this is the same group that revels in MD as a true disciplinarian while infractions go unpunished in AA.....
I'll volunteer Jimmy. Hawaii baby!
Could add a name to this interesting list of men to come to Michigan from US territories should we offer and sign a kid from AS.
It's been a very long time.

Good lord, WD. Sometimes your obsessive knowledge is fascinating.

you should see the super fan guide on Little Brown Bakers
Harbaugh will reunify by Korea by telling Kim Jong to chill.
"What's you deal Kim!?"
Why not put satellite camps where they belong, in Low-Earth Orbit?
You bring up an interesting point. Does the NCAA have rules that say student-athletes must be human? If not, maybe we could keep the SC lore out of it and go for a rhino or elephant defensive tackle. Cheetah defensive back?
And if you're allowing SC fantasies and you don't have a dark archon mind controlling the opposing players, you're wasting an opportunity.
My guess is they'll fly to Australia then to Somoa then Hawaii. Look for an announcement for a California camp next.
That is one HELL of road trip. Hope the coaches know how to sleep on planes.
This so much. I'm IAD-LAX-SYD tomorrow and I suck at sleeping on planes. I suspect this will be a new experience for some of the staff. Either way I have no doubt they will crush it.

AIDS?
I've made that trip a few times. There is simply no way to kill 21 hrs in the air through sleep. So you hope the entertainment system (yours or the planes) is packed with good movies. Cuz yer gonna need'em...
Once on the ground, Aussie architecture, food, and beer is all British based. But the road design and entertainment (TV/radio) is all American based. But don't tell them that. Aussie's will get pissed at you if you tell them their trying to be like Americans...
And they don't have deer roadkill. They have kangaroo roadkill. Dead serious. Roo'kill is a big problem - bigger than deer here.
Going to Australia is definitely a "bucket list" destination for me but my work doesnt allow more than one week off at a time and no way am I going to spend two days flying to have five days of sightseeing. My company has a pretty robust sales partner in Australia so I've thought about visiting them several times but cant justify the travel time (or expense) in my head.
Looks like that trip will have to happen sometime after I'm mGoRetired.
Lie flat seating helps. :)
*Drink your whiskey gentlemen.
Corrected that for you. :)
I feel like rugby players could translate well into the fullback role.
Love me some AFL. Absolutely fascinating.

Harbaugh doesn't sleep. He charges his batteries for another day.
