5* CB Darnay Holmes to take Official Visit
#2 CB
2017 5-star CB/WR Darnay Holmes will officially visit Michigan in December.

because he hasn't taken his SAT/ACT. I don't know the reason for that. It's unusual and doesn't make it look like he would be on track to enroll early at Stanford if they allow them.

I root against UCLA every week.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:31 PM ^
It's already a tire fire. We're just trying to determine if the smoke can be seen from space now. UCLA is almost exactly like Michigan in 2013/2014 and in fact the parallel's are almost eerie. That is going to be an interesting program to watch in the next year or so.

Pretty sure the Badgers will take care of business on Saturday which will expose the Huskers.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:23 PM ^
They may be in play, but I have to think we win a head to head with Nebraska. If leaving socal is the barrier, then lincoln is basically the same weather as Ann Arbor. We now have the results, playing time, and coaching at this point to offer.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:32 PM ^
What Michigan does not have is his brother on the team, something Nebraska does have.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:35 PM ^
I stand corrected...
October 25th, 2016 at 12:45 PM ^
well you clearly didn't do any research or have much factual info in your argument, so that makes sense.
October 25th, 2016 at 1:05 PM ^
but at least he applied logic using the information he had. No need to be a d--che.
October 25th, 2016 at 1:13 PM ^
how is it being a douche by pointing out the obvious homerism in the comment? He claims we have the head to head with Nebraska because the wins and coaching? I love our wins and I love our coaching but Nebraska is as storied a program as Michigan, has a phenomenal college town and gameday atmosphere and they are also undefeated with a great coach doing very good things. Let's just not be obnoxious about it. There is absolutely no argument or logic there other than, "I'm clearly biased towards Michigan so we should win the head to head recruiting". Sorry, say stupid stuff, get called on it. Fine if you think that makes me a douche.

TIL Mike Riley is a great coach
October 25th, 2016 at 2:17 PM ^
RollDamnHusker, that you?
Noting a difference between Michigan and Nebraska, especially in recruiting, isn't a case of homerism.
October 25th, 2016 at 2:30 PM ^
I'm not sure in what football circles you could make the argument that Harbaugh and his staff are not superior to Mike Riley in terms of coaching profiles. Riley was 6-7 last year and they were 9-4 the year before he came on board.
Sure they are undefeated this year...but who have they played?
Fresno State 43-10
Wyoming 52-17
Oregon 35-32
Northwestern 24-13
Illinois 31-16
Indiana 27-22
Purdue 27-14
They have squeaked by a bunch of mediocre teams like Oregon, Indiana, and Purdue. Purdue was winning solidly into the 3rd quarter... NW was a one possession game in the 3rd quarter as well. It's not really homerism to suggest that the football programs are on different footing currently despite Nebraska's record.
Advanced states bear that out as well as 3 teams we beat are ranked higher including Wisconsin, Colorado, and Penn State.
In terms of recruiting, when is the last time Mike Riley or Nebraska has realed in a 5* overall top 15 prospect (Suh was #47)? What is the recent precedent for this type of cross-country recruiting coup for Nebraska and for Riley?
Also, I knew that Holmes had teammates on Nebraska but didn't realize he had familial connections and still not exactly sure who that is.
October 25th, 2016 at 6:22 PM ^
See what you can do with research and logic? That's a much better case.
October 25th, 2016 at 2:12 PM ^
BETTER NOT HAVE NO SIBLINGS!
October 25th, 2016 at 12:35 PM ^
October 25th, 2016 at 1:45 PM ^
And the corn in Nebraska is waaaaayyyy cheaper!

For great Justice!

You typed that word wrong, you wrote "one", it's spelled "all"! ALL THE STARS!
October 25th, 2016 at 12:28 PM ^
of so many top recruits now. Hoping for nice weather when he comes, but confident our staff, a the charm of Ann Arbor, and the campus give us a good shot regardless.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:30 PM ^
is in full juggernaut.

Michigan
October 25th, 2016 at 12:38 PM ^
Love the effort, but did you just use a gif from the movie Legend to represent Michigan?
October 25th, 2016 at 12:43 PM ^
works too.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:46 PM ^
Its a Ridley Scott film, so....

I never apologize for a mis-spent youth. When I was a kid I thought that movie was the BOMB!
My tastes have changed since then.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:51 PM ^
Hopefully we can get Holmes and DPJ. With both being EEs, they will be able to make an instant impact at positions of need.
October 25th, 2016 at 12:59 PM ^
I wouldn't call the cupboard empty at WR...Crawford and MCDOOM are producing very early returns. And Perry is no slouch either.
October 25th, 2016 at 1:38 PM ^
I've seen McDoom and Crawford on jet sweeps and slants. Perry is a slot. DPJ is that outside, deep threat that we will lose with Chesson (to a lesser extent Darboh.)

I sure would be pleased if he ends up in the fold.

As long as Harbaugh is here and winning continues to happen, we will bridge any talent gap with the elite teams (mainly OSU and Alabama) in no time. Also, with Harbaugh's incredible ability to get every ounce of competitiveness out of his players, any star rating players that EARN a starting position will more than likely out perform their original rankings.
Go Blue!

...that a recruit comes during the regular season or not, meaning, do you think the impression is that much better/greater when they visit with a game as part of the recruiting agenda? Just seems like it would be such a different experience one way versus the other.
