Ty Wheatley has Begun Following A Bunch of Western MI 'Croots
Saw it on another thread; worth the mention in it's own. Granted it's not so many recruits today as it would have been 3 days ago considering Fleck took a bunch with him! He also just followed Darius Phillips who is the Jabrill Peppers/Jourdan Lewis of WMU!

Would assume "he gone".

Commence your conspiracy theories that Najee was a UM lock until Fleck took the Minn job and Western began sniffing around Wheat!! ;)

We may hire Najee's trainer as RB coach and get Najee tomorrow. Seriously.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:16 PM ^
I can't believe anybody still thinks this is even a possibility. I was going to post an Alabama RB chart for 2017 but didn't want to get negged to oblivion.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:34 PM ^
You obviously don't get the Najee trainer post above - the guy is "supposedly" very influential with Najee, and he's in San Antonio wearing M gear. Top to bottom.
I assumed Najee was sticking with Bama commit til I saw that. Or has the troll game been taken to whole new levels?!
January 7th, 2017 at 1:46 PM ^
I guess we'll see but you may have been rickrolled.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:53 PM ^
Or so they say.
January 7th, 2017 at 2:23 PM ^
Pictures or it didn't happen
January 7th, 2017 at 2:57 PM ^
I didn't get in on the thread, but that's the opposite conclusion to the one I came to when I heard it: Guys regularly wear clothes of teams they don't commit to before their commitment. Can't wear it after. Good examples include Lavert Hill, who was spotted wearing MSU gear the week before he committed to Michigan.
The fact that the trainer is decked out in it suggests that either he was given swag that Najee and family won't be needing anymore, or that he bought some a while ago and is using it now before his protege plays for someone else.
Either way, to me, it's another ominous sign.
January 7th, 2017 at 3:18 PM ^
Najee doesn'rt need any M gear while attending Bama, so give it all to his trainer.
January 7th, 2017 at 3:37 PM ^
No he'll need the M gear when he's hired as a S&C trainer.
Trust me, someone close to Nico Collins has been offered a job at UGa. The way of the world now, I guess?
January 7th, 2017 at 10:34 PM ^
Done all the time
January 7th, 2017 at 1:12 PM ^
But can't blame a guy for taking the next step. Best of luck to TWheat
January 7th, 2017 at 1:26 PM ^
Was hoping his son on the team would be enough to keep him from jumping UM to be an OC somewhere. RB coach to HC is a pretty big jump.
January 7th, 2017 at 2:03 PM ^
It's really not that big of a jump when the jump is to a MAC HC...
January 7th, 2017 at 3:07 PM ^
You can't really believe that.
January 7th, 2017 at 11:11 PM ^
Fleck did it. Hoke did it. CMU's coach did it. It's not unprecedented for MAC schools to hire coaches from position coach roles.
January 7th, 2017 at 2:05 PM ^
Damn 503 error induced double post
January 7th, 2017 at 3:20 PM ^
If Wheatley leaves, I want the Wisconsin RB coach -- whoever he is.
January 7th, 2017 at 6:19 PM ^
Wisconsin Offensive-Line.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:13 PM ^
Pretty disheartening if this means he's gone... But best of luck to the legend if so.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:13 PM ^
Najee Harris

Sam Webb just tweeted he doesn't have any substantial info of this happening but we'll see..

WMUGOBLOG will have a Hello: Tyrone Wheatley post any day now.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:46 PM ^
Row the Blog.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:46 PM ^
The name is obviously rowtheblog.com
January 7th, 2017 at 1:21 PM ^
It's also possible all these Western commits are soon to flip to UM to finish off our class....and Darius Philips is going to sit out a year and transfer into the UM defensive backfield circa 2018....
;)
January 7th, 2017 at 1:27 PM ^
He recently liked a tweet about him being predicted to take the WMU job
January 7th, 2017 at 1:40 PM ^
Personally I think it would be great for WMU and Michigan if he got the job as head coach. We already know that Harbaugh is going to be a coaching incubator so the best and the brightest will want to come here. It may be for only a couple of years before they move on (hopefully without stealing any of our recruits) and then they will be replaced with another great coach.
Same with the players. I would love for Peppers to stay another year, but on the other hand I look forward to the day when three or four of our Peppers like players are declaring early. That will mean we are really doing really well and of course other recruits want to follow suit.
January 7th, 2017 at 3:42 PM ^
I think HC is the only position he leaves Michigan, this year, for wmu.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:17 PM ^
Penn State's RB coach Charles Huff recently followed our coaches on twitter
January 7th, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
Saquon Barkley is making that man some money!
But I like hurting any of our potential jive turkey friends if it happens. Plus it means his wife must be good looking....
January 7th, 2017 at 1:37 PM ^
This guy's follow list is hilarious. He has 4K+ people he follows. Random people...but yes he followed a bunch of the staff recently and then immediately followed that by following Sarah Lyn Onelove. NTTIAWWT.

He seems like a guy who would really enjoy TTB.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:17 PM ^
Maybe he's looking into some of the recruits now that Fleck is gone, and seeing if their worthy of a last minute offer
January 7th, 2017 at 4:16 PM ^
Twitter wouldn't be my first stop if I was evaluating talent of recruits that are committed to another school.

With an elite coach as many have stated in the past this is just something we will have to get used to each and every offseason.
Programs will continue to show interest in our assitants and it will stink to lose thiem, but with Harbaugh at the helm there is zero reason to believe he won't go out and find a more than sutiable upgrade each and every time.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:20 PM ^
Lot of WMU recruits in play
January 7th, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
I started following a bunch of porn stars.... Doesn't mean I am going to be banging them.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:25 PM ^
Well not with an attitude like that.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:36 PM ^
I don't know, man. You already have the mustache.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
I hate to bag on WMU, but I think this is a mistake. It is really, really hard to succeed at WMU, and Wheatley may end up being an assistant again at a bigger school in 3 or 4 years. I am not convinced PJ Fleck didn't just "luck" into a confluence of better-than-normal talent and good timing and sprinkled in some of his own talent to get WMU to 13-1. Fleck could end up being Minnesota's Hoke, in other words, and Wheatley may put his career back a couple years should he make this move.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
WMU hasn't contacted him per Sam.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:29 PM ^
Fleck was hired literally yesterday. Does Webb have Wheatley's phone tapped? All this communication could have just gone down this morning. I highly doubt Wheatley's first priority would be to let Sam Webb immediately know that he his a candidate at WMU.
January 7th, 2017 at 1:38 PM ^
Though, I am guessing Webb can multitask with the best of those in his line of business.
Go Blue!
January 7th, 2017 at 3:14 PM ^
and Wheatley are very good friends so it would be safe to assume that they talk on a regular basis...
January 7th, 2017 at 1:28 PM ^
Sam is always right. Close the thread.
Hope he is buts it is also possible he has been fed misinformation.

Why are you getting so huffy? I said nothing but reporting what was said on the premium site.
Run me over with a car, why don't you people. Next time I won't share anything.
January 7th, 2017 at 2:02 PM ^
Don't be so dramatic. That's vehicular manslaughter.
Unless you keep calling us idiots...
/s
January 7th, 2017 at 2:06 PM ^
Reporting info from the premium board immediately is a problem anyway.
January 7th, 2017 at 4:20 PM ^
WD must have gotten FOIA'd to go rogue and repeat something that's already on the internet. What an animal.
