Signing Day Prediction Thread
This was hapenning organically in the Aubrey Solomon thread so I thought I'd make it its own. Make your predictions on the guys we're pursuing and why.
Solomon - goes blue - trust Sam?
Gay - nope - black holes and all that
Becton - nope - seems to be trending to VaTech
Iffy - goes blue - Don Brown is a dude
Collins - goes blue - 247 Georgia guys don't seem sure after OV
Martin - goes blue - Harbaugh type of guy, they went swimming

We will not get Solomon or Gay. Don't get your hopes up. Sam's good feels are based on Solomon's mothers opinion and reaction to visits rather than her sons.

Well aware, just voting with my heart and not my head on that one.
January 29th, 2017 at 9:59 PM ^
What you said about where Sam got his opinion is false.
January 29th, 2017 at 11:13 PM ^
How would either you or he know?
January 29th, 2017 at 10:04 PM ^
what is your opinion based on? or is it just another 50-50 guess?
January 29th, 2017 at 10:30 PM ^
...he plays a recruiting expert on tv.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:58 PM ^
Maybe he slept at a Holiday Inn Express?

So you make a "statement of fact" about where two kids will go to school with no source of information to justify then follow it up with an incorrect statement about where Sam's sources all come from. You don't sound credible (sarcasm).
Even if I was of the opinion that you may be correct, I would never agree with you. Sam's predictions, which are based on a plethora of research, are less of guarantees than a lot of board posters "statements of facts" who have absolutely no sources. I find that funny at times and then annoying at others.
January 29th, 2017 at 11:14 PM ^
Alternative facts bro. It's the way it is now. Just say shit like you know what you're talking about, even though what you say makes it obvious you have no idea what you're talking about, then ignore factual information to the contrary claiming THEY are the liars.
And boom. Everything you say is always right 100% cuz you're never wrong.

no politics
January 30th, 2017 at 12:40 AM ^
Are you saying we will miss on one of the two? Or both? We are getting Solomon. Gay maybe 25%

My prediction: (emotional) PAIN!
January 29th, 2017 at 10:23 PM ^
Seriously, I don't have a clue about this emothional roller coaster caused by 18 year olds. I've set up my text messaging to get notified and I'll find out then.
Go Blue, kids!
January 30th, 2017 at 10:45 AM ^
Do you talk with a lithp?
January 29th, 2017 at 9:59 PM ^
I, like many people here, have a bad feeling about Solomon despite the onslaught of blue ballzzz. As long as we pull on of the remaining WRs I would be happy. Gay would be the most prized recruit on the board imo. Dude is a beast, but I think he goes elsewhere.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:21 PM ^
for Willie Gay too. I have no predictions myself though cuz it's crootin' and I am not good at predicting crootin'.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:01 PM ^
I have PTSD from the Najee Harris circus. I'm going to ignore recruiting until signing day.

Oh like that's impossible? Nerd.
January 30th, 2017 at 6:43 AM ^
And don't tune in Wednesday a.m. either, if you're stress avoidant - just open up this site around 3pm or so, see what happened.
Solomon may be one of those guys who goes past LOI day, a la McDowell. He & Mom may just not be able to agree that day, further negotiations to ensue.
Ok, negotiations didn't sound like I meant it to. I meant like "Can I go to that party Friday night?" type of negotiation, but -
Our main competition IS SEC, so...
January 29th, 2017 at 10:06 PM ^
I predict complaints about hamsters on wheels.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:08 PM ^
Out of the top 4 left on the board for us - Solomon, Gay, Collins, and Oliver, my predictions are:
- We get at least one for sure, most likely Oliver, and it would be some what of a letdown only getting one,
- If we get two, that would be good and would like it to be one of the WRs and either of the the other two,
- If we some how got three, that would be a coup, and
- If we some how got all four, which would be just nuckin' futs, that must mean that the bag men must be low on funds.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:13 PM ^
I personally feel that all three southern prospects stay that way. I do feel like we get Martin and I would love to add another one but we all know about the black hole (Mississippi) and the SEC...
January 29th, 2017 at 10:15 PM ^
Agreed, although Solomon is the #1 priority, not another WR. Defensive line dominates college football and we always need another elite DT.
January 29th, 2017 at 11:19 PM ^
Unfortunately, Oliver will be the only one of those four that goes blue.
January 30th, 2017 at 7:58 AM ^
And you know that bc you're The Oracle?

I think that is exactly what he is saying... Now whether or not there is any truth in what he is stating is a different conversation.
January 30th, 2017 at 10:54 AM ^
It is a prediction thread.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:10 PM ^
Solomon, Collins, Martin, and Becton surprises and goes blue.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:11 PM ^
We get one.....two if the gods shine down on us.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:12 PM ^
Hoping for one of Solomon or Gay to go Blue. I wouldn't put money on that though.
January 30th, 2017 at 6:47 AM ^
Well clearly you're NOT a SEC bagman then!
January 29th, 2017 at 10:12 PM ^
Peppers 2.0 come to AA and be a legend.
No new intel, just hoping for the best. Go Blue.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:15 PM ^
Would make me happy
January 30th, 2017 at 6:49 AM ^
Then crack open an ice cold Schmitts
January 29th, 2017 at 11:40 PM ^
Sorry guys, I'd rather have Gay than Solomon... by a hair. I know, I know, we have recruited better LB's than DT's this cycle, but Gay IS Peppers' replacement, even by two tenths seconds of a 40 yard dash. Decent shot at Tufele and Brown + Mattison greatness leaves me more comfortable for the next 2-3 years than having Metellus, Ross, or Anthony try to replace Jabrill. I want to see Michigan have consistent recruiting victories for elite athletes for as long as we're copywriting the term "VIPER". If we get Gay, we show prospects like B.J Foster and Palaie Gaoteote and/or the class after them that Michigan is THE linebacker school to go to, sort of like how Alabama is the running back school to go to. If we don't get Gay, and I think we probably won't, then I have full confidence that Brown will reconfigure the D to play a different method for the upcoming years. Solomon's great, and it would be painful if we didn't get him at all becuase we need depth at D tackle. But, if I HAD to choose...
January 29th, 2017 at 10:17 PM ^
I honestly think we only get Iffy and Martin out of those 6 guys
Edit* Although a Georgia 247 guy just Ballzed Nico to Blue
January 29th, 2017 at 10:18 PM ^
Everyone signs for Michigan except Becton and Iffy, Iffy because we don't have room but he wanted to commit, maybe he Grey shirts

Replace Iffy with Gay and I think you're right.

just crystal balled Nico to Michigan
January 29th, 2017 at 10:25 PM ^
There's another one for him also. I really want nico. I think DPJ is the only one better than him. Really thought Martin would commit this weekend, maybe Nico has something to do with that.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:31 PM ^
Tariq Black just made a huge rise and other than size is comparable in skill to Nico. Nico is now a luxury if Martin also comes. We are going to be loaded at WR.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:59 PM ^
Maybe, but I have Nico #2 and I think he can play right away.
January 29th, 2017 at 11:02 PM ^
Not disagreeing. I would love to have Nico too. The more the merrier.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
Martin and some lower star'd guy.
Would be happy if we only got Solomon.
Really hope we get Hunter Reynolds as a PWO or scolly guy.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
wouldn't be surprising if he's a silent verbal too. I just don't see him going to Sparty, Iowa, ND over the good guys.
