Tom VH ESPN Article: Regarding CB Ambry Thomas
ESPN300 ATH Ambry Thomas says two schools lead, but he's trying to schedule a few more visits http://es.pn/2fbeP23

"Thomas says Michigan State is tied for the lead with Michigan. "There's a lot of opportunity for me up at Michigan State," Thomas said. "I would say right now Michigan and Michigan State have the lead and I can't tell which one leads out of the two. I know I can play early at MSU, but I know at Michigan they're winning and they're going to continue to win." Thomas said he feels Michigan can provide him a lot after football as well, but he also knows Michigan State is just having a bad year and will bounce back. The Detroit prospect is planning to enroll early so he will make his decision by late December."

Cut him a little slack. He's just a high schooler, he hasn't taken a stats course yet and learned what regression to the mean is.

then yes by all means, his whole life. If he's 17 then it ain't really his whole life.
Don't make Sparty sound like they've been good forever, they haven't been by any means.
Before this recent surge for them where you would have to erase this season, they've been a very spotty program since the late 60's early '70's till the late aughts.
So in closing, Sparty has been mostly spotty, finish rant!

to excuse these young men as though their cognition is the same as a group of Kindergarteners when asked who do they think should be President. Contrary to your thoughts on the matter, recruits are generally very savvy given the ready-access to everything they'd want to know about perpsective colleges, coaches and teammates. When you look at the obvious contrasts between JH and MD and how they go about their business as coaches and the subsequent outcomes on the playing field, the perspective athlete should rarely have difficulty selecting between going blue or playing for little brother. We'll see, but similar to the what a shock it would be for Trump to win the election today, it's really difficult to grasp Thomas going anywhere but playing for the good guys.

I don't see how the playing time arguments don't apply to us either...

We have no returning starting CBs either, though. I suppose Hill and Long may be more intimidating duo but MSU at least has entrenched players starting who will return.
November 7th, 2016 at 8:57 PM ^
They have two freshman WRs entrenched at the CB spots?
November 7th, 2016 at 9:04 PM ^
Copeland or Hicks aren't freshman WR and I think they will be back (after their injury issues). Entrenched was probably liberal word choice...meant moreso that that he would be at least unseating people who had taken first team reps all year (despite them not being that great).
I'm just saying if it's so easy to just pencil him in their, then I feel like you could just as easily pencil him in as a nickel cb with us at the very least. On recruiting profile alone, he may end up the highest rated of the Hill, Long, and him.

Meritocracy at Michigan, if you are better you play. You work harder and win you play. That is the way of a fair world, easy way out usually isn't and never leads to the same place. Small exception made to kids of multimillionares, some times they are born on third base and think they hit a triple.

those that want to go to MSU go and UM does just fine. Would like to corner the market on instate talent but that will never happen. A few will get away almost every year. Been that way since I can recall but historically UM has pulled somewhere like 80% of the top instate recruits. That can only go up with Harbaugh in charge.
November 8th, 2016 at 10:03 AM ^
starting to see where we are in control of who we recruit/accept, much like OSU and bama. Committments will come earlier, as the recruits want to get the spot before it is offered and accepted by another 4-5*. So, although Mr. Thomas is a very good player, we have other great options and unlike before, it's not imperative that we get him. Also, if he is looking for a place where there is less competition for playing time, probably not the kind of player that JH is looking for, anyway.
November 7th, 2016 at 8:41 PM ^
If he likes MSU that much then i think if he gets into Michigan his grades will be a problem ...

Did it include the two game tickets at that price? Still over-priced.

MSU: I can play early
Michigan: They're winning, going to keep winning, and will give me a better education.
Yeah, not worried.

kid is a silent commit to MSU right now. I don't know if he ends up at MSU or not, but the next big prospect we get from King will be the 1st one I can remember. I can't believe a school Detroit can be so anti Michigan.
November 8th, 2016 at 1:07 AM ^
uh Lavert Hill?
November 8th, 2016 at 10:40 AM ^
I believe Lavert Hill went to Cass Tech.
