Buckle Up??
Sorry I am not even going to try to Embed but --- I have seen 2 tweets this afternoon/evening that lead me to believe we may be on commit watch.
The first was from @claywill3 and said "All I know right now is to stay tuned this week!! this will be huge" with an M Emoji. I don't know who he is exactly, but apparently he does commitment edits for players and is a M fan, so he may be in the right position to know something.
The second was from BlueVod. (I know some question his actual "insider" status.) All his said was "Buckle Up!"
If they are correct it would almost have to be someone at the Opening...and the only buzz we have seen this week has been with Nico Collins.
Any other ideas? Am I way off base in thinking something good may be coming this weekend?

He seemed to have a legit connection to Hackett which is why he knew about Harbaugh's hiring. He overexaggerated his connection which is why he always talks up recruiting things but never anything confirmable/specific like he did with Harbaugh. Now that Hackett's gone, his middleman connection is gone, supposedly.
I don't take any rumors seriously until Ace Williams weighs in. He's more accurate than Sam Webb's gut. /s
when Counterstrike Guy tells me to buckle up, and not one second sooner.

CMH hinting at something?
Then Player Reactions to adding Notre Dame to the schedule
“I like it a lot, actually. Most likely I’ll be looking forward to that game a lot.” – Notre Dame and Michigan safety target Ambry Thomas
Just looking at our top target on 247 that we have a legit chance this class could be ridiculous. How many of these top guys will we get especially with the O-line filling up?
DPJ 99 CB65% M
Isaiah Wilson 98 CB 54% M
Tederral Slaton CB 50% M
Drew Singleton 97 CB 96%M
Nico Collins 96 CB 41% M
Jordan Anthony 94 CB 40% M (leader)
Cesar Ruiz 93 CB 92% M
Ambry Thomas 93 79% M
Side note: When I was a freshman, we had one of the first O-lines that averaged over 300 pounds. Can you imagine a line with
Wilson 354
Slaton 340
Ruiz 315
Michael Onwenu 360
(I know that's only 4, but insert the 320 pound tackle of your choice.)
I don't know when you were a freshman, but I'm willing to bet that 300# line was not nearly as athletic as the guys you just listed. That list is insane when written out, and it doesn't even include Ben Bredenson!
Ben Bredenson protecting Jake Ruddock?
Nope. Ben Bredeson protecting Peters/McCaffrey... Sorry, I spelled his name wrong in the other post.

In the Jan 1st '90 bowl game against Ole Miss, they gave the MVP trophy to that entire OL.

S - JKP
CB - Holmes
another DT or DB or leave class at 29
brings class to 30
last year's class is 27 now if Hawkins doesn't qualify, with 7 early enrollees classified as 2015's.
Makes 2016 class officially at 20, so 5 EE's to 2016 and 25 to 2017 = 30 in the class
Over at TTB, Magnus said he wants Ruiz as C on the OL, which makes a lot of sense. However, after Ruiz, his preference is Jedric Wills, an OL out of KY.
- I'm curious about Wills, who I haven't heard much about.
- And I'm also curious why Magnus prefers Wills over Wilson and Slaton. Is it because he thinks he is a better OL?
- Or is it because he thinks it is unlikely we get both Wilson and Slaton.
- And I'm curious about how many guys we can take on the OL. We currently have 4 commits. I'm assuming we couldn't/wouldn't take 4 more (Wills, Wilson, Slaton, Ruiz). At least it is a nice problem to have.
I am really looking forward to improved OL play. I also want to see the DL recruiting stay at a high level. I am a firm believer that the strength of the OL and DL go a long way to predicting the overall success of the team.

Hope it's Van Damme.

If you could only choose one to beat out Alabama for - Nico or Cesar - who would you choose?
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Yup. He makes edits for high profile recruits. So maybe he is making a commitment edit for somebody who is about to commit to Michigan.
"Go North, Young Man."
Also could be a silent commit. There is a lot of rumers about Nico Collins.
Did you really just spell rumors with an e?
