James Hudson Update: You don't know what you thought you knew
Quick update. Sam Webb said this morning on his recruiting insider update that what he's hearing coming out of the BBQ is a toss-up. He talked to a Toledo reporter last week who knows Hudson well, and that guy thought it was Michigan. Also says an announcement of a decision date/time during a visit is usually a very good sign. Also that Hudson is definitively a take for Michigan, they put Rashan Gary on him at the BBQ and the coaches were all over him.
ALSO. Sean Scherer, the 247 Sparty guy, put in a crystal ball for Michigan as of this morning. He's typically pretty good. And look now, Steve Wiltfong and Magnus have also turned their ballz.
Announcement coming sometime today (or IS it?)
he didn't like the BBQ sauce used over the weekend.
Can we confirm the type of BBQ sauces they offered? Can someone get in touch with the guys at Stubbs?
But this is Michigan FFS. The sauces used at the BBQ should be handcrafted and homemade.
The problem here is that Michigan is not known for its BBQ sauce. Perhaps the caterer, though, knows about Southern BBQ sauces, or has been successful in BBQ competitions? You can't just pop open a bottle BBQ sauce from a grocery store and impress 'croots, you know...

And I've already posted that we shouldn't even be eating BBQ until we beat OSU and MSU.
August 8th, 2016 at 10:27 AM ^
have a football program until we beat OSU and MSU.
August 8th, 2016 at 10:21 AM ^
until we beat OSU and MSU.
Damn! Too late. Didn't see the response.
August 8th, 2016 at 10:56 AM ^
Company i work for owns Stubbs. Ill have a case sent to him, assuming it's not a BBQ violation..
August 8th, 2016 at 11:11 AM ^
per Allen Trieu
Ballz have come pouring in for him this morning.
Ace and Wiltfong most notably.
made me think of this for some reason
Ummm... those are franks/weiners, not balls. Hope that clears things up.

Announcing right after the BBQ is a positive sign imo.
I missed this, what position does he play and for which class will he commit? Thanks in advance.
This is a good question because admittedly I am in the same boat - aside from knowing the name, I did not know much else about this particular recruit.
Having said that, it makes the whole statement "you don't know what you thought you knew" one which rocks you to your epistemological core.
Reminds me of my favorite Springsteen line: God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of.

This reply made me laugh harder than it probably should have.
I suppose I should at least thank you for that, even if I do miss a detail here and there.
Then again, I don't get paid to do this, so you get what you pay for around here.
Quality modding is its own reward.
Who is this James Hudson anyone is talking about????
(281)-330-8004
(281)-330-8004. Hit him up on the low, cuz James Hudson is about to blow!
I REALLY hope that isn't the kid's actual number.
Well Hudson is from Toledo and 281 is a Houston area code, so probably not.
Fair point.
August 8th, 2016 at 11:52 AM ^
Your area code is where you lived 10 years ago.
August 8th, 2016 at 11:54 AM ^
Let's just call it and find out.
Nope. Just a line from a Mike Jones (WHO?) song.
August 8th, 2016 at 10:20 AM ^
That was the number on the wall.
August 8th, 2016 at 10:27 AM ^
For the price of a call I can always turn to you.
August 8th, 2016 at 10:27 AM ^
Yo, give my girl Jenny the what's up!
August 8th, 2016 at 11:10 AM ^
I occasionally have to send files with sensitive information to a manager named "Jenny" - I always password the files with "8675309."
I'm sure that she loves that. BTW, where do you work at as I have some Anonymous friends who could help you.
August 8th, 2016 at 11:35 AM ^
I've been aroung the block more times than the ice cream truck and Jenny has had that number since I was 16. Tell me, is she still staying busy or did her granddaughter take over the family business? Always a nice girl and a great supporter of the program. Only problem with her was she didn't care which program. Good kid though.
Seems like most are projecting him to DT when it's all said and done. Seems like we've got enough guys there (Paea and Solomon) unless they're planning on moving Paea to the OL.
From what I have read, it sounds like the staff likes him at SDE.
August 8th, 2016 at 10:14 AM ^
I'm guessing the staff also like him NOT on Sparty's roster.
August 8th, 2016 at 12:19 PM ^
That's great, and all, but with an 85 scholly limit, you can't recruit kids just to keep them off someone else's team. Bo could do that. Harbaugh can't. He's got to have a place for the kid, and think he can compete for PT.
M loses Wormley, Glasgow, Charlton, and Godin off the line for sure next year....and there is a decent chance Hurst and Mone have opportunities to declare early for the NFL and at best hang on through 2017. (Hurst rated best or second best on the line last year by PFF). Aside from true freshman, the remainder of the line is Shelton Johnson, Reuben Jones, and Lawrence Marshall.
