Sam has a Gut Feeling on a Commitment from Shea Patterson, it Seems
It appears Sam's gut is telling him not only of a visit, but of an impending commitment. https://twitter.com/SamWebb77/status/938939068930560000
December 7th, 2017 at 8:16 PM ^
It's happening.
December 7th, 2017 at 10:17 PM ^
Great news. We owe it to the guys on defense who have been busting their butts for years to put a quality offense on the field. Next season will be fun.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:17 PM ^
That’s what we heard, at like 7:35 this morning.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:27 PM ^
He's referencing a new tweet, which is like 7 minutes old. Read the article. It's a stronger statement than we had this am.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:29 PM ^
So....Lincoln definitely shot!
December 7th, 2017 at 8:30 PM ^
Yeah man, don't want to be pedantic or anything, but this morning Sam's gut told him we'd have three athletes visit, not seven, as was being reported elsewhere.
The reference to the above gut feeling is indeed for Shea to head here as a player, not just for a visit this weekend.
Anyway, cheers, this is good news.
December 7th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^
including Brandon Justice at the Wolverine Lounge that made it seem like Patterson (and likely Jefferson and Anderson) was pretty much a done deal.
If the reports are true, Mgoblog will soon be looking like this:
December 7th, 2017 at 8:32 PM ^
This is different. The earlier one was only on the number of transfers. This is that Patterson is picking Michigan.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:17 PM ^
It's happening . . .
December 7th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
this was covered earlier today...it's hard to break news around here
December 7th, 2017 at 10:14 PM ^
I think the old adgae goes, "If it is about Michigan football, it's already on MGoBlog - don't post it again, or indeed on another site. Chances are that MGoBlog has explored the issue and bitched about the issue thoroughly - twice actually."
Here's Sam's latest discussion on the subject -

Better advice. Don't post anything on Mgoblog ever, and you will never run the risk of hearing a thousand voices angrily cry out in unison.
December 8th, 2017 at 4:34 AM ^
Come on, man. Somebody already posted this. It’s old advice.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
You don’t say?!
December 7th, 2017 at 8:32 PM ^
and at the end tells us to "Buckle Up".
I'm assuming that means buckle up for a couple of days right?
December 7th, 2017 at 8:19 PM ^
I took a pill in jordraph
December 7th, 2017 at 8:20 PM ^
ruhilly?!
December 7th, 2017 at 8:20 PM ^
year is he? Or should I say, how many years of eligibility does Shea have?
December 7th, 2017 at 8:28 PM ^
He's got two years of eligibility remaining, but I would bet my left arm that he already knows he's going pro next year.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:39 PM ^
Whew, glad it's not your right arm!! We may need you to play quarterback soon!
December 7th, 2017 at 9:14 PM ^
I'll stay warm
December 7th, 2017 at 9:50 PM ^
If he was why not just stay at Ole Miss, play out the year and "showcase" his skills for the draft? I think he wants to win a national title and enjoy the college experience and that's prompting the move more than anything. Certainly possible he leaves after a year but I think it's more likely than not he stays for two years.
December 7th, 2017 at 9:55 PM ^
Probably because they were a 6-6 team this year before the sanctions hit and people left. It's hard to showcase 1st round draft pick skills on a non-bowl team as a QB. Then, once you decide that you're transferring, you look to a school that you dreamed of playing at as a kid that has very little experience at your position.
If he is our starting QB next fall I'd put it at 99% that he enters the 2019 draft, barring any kind of injury/catastrophic setback.
December 8th, 2017 at 12:26 AM ^
Maybe, however, if Harbaugh has him for two years he might be a top 3 pick. He might stay two years . . .
December 8th, 2017 at 9:42 AM ^
You guys are all baseing this on him being eligible immediately. I bet he doesnt play next year because i would bet the NCAA doesnt give him the waiver and he has to sit a year, so he wouldnt have a shot until 2019 and good luck to him to beat out peters and mcaffery at that point. NCAA are dicks and never approve of this immediate eligibility. If he does win his case great tho id gladly be wrong.
December 8th, 2017 at 9:45 AM ^
a top 3 pick also, i dont think his game translates well to pro's. hes not a great stand in pocket passer more of on the move manziel type, and uh he didnt work out to well pro. great college qb which is what M needs.
December 7th, 2017 at 11:14 PM ^
depends on the size of the Yankees' signing bonus
December 8th, 2017 at 9:19 AM ^
+1 for hilarious-throw-back-Drew Henson reference. I almost spit up my coffee. Good one, sir.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:21 PM ^
Gut needs to be fed!
December 7th, 2017 at 8:24 PM ^
We can have nice things again. This is HUGE.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:26 PM ^
It's happening . . . . . .
December 7th, 2017 at 11:29 PM ^
Ballz a couple days ago. Which means you can bank on it!
GO BLUE!!
December 7th, 2017 at 8:28 PM ^
I like the chatter on this possible snag, but while I think he would be a great addition to the team, what he really brings is a new kind of credibility to the recruiting program. Recruits in high school have all sorts of people telling them all sorts of stuff, and current commits and likely future rosters/records are what they are. A top quarterback commit with a proven record given a very unusual option to choose again, that choice sends a powerful signal to a lot of young minds I assure you. Its like (but hopefully more fruitful) tracking insider trades to make your own decision.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:27 PM ^
It's happening . . . . . . . . . . . .
December 7th, 2017 at 8:28 PM ^
Sam some Pepto-Bismol, his stomach has been acting crazy for at least a week now.
December 8th, 2017 at 12:29 AM ^
You wear pink slippers around the house don't you? I just know it.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:28 PM ^
National championship or a SHIT TON of petulant bitching!! Yes!!
December 7th, 2017 at 8:34 PM ^
I cant wait till the thread where we bitch about only beating MSU by 20 next year!
December 7th, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
I am already upset about this, I expected more.
December 7th, 2017 at 9:44 PM ^
And I want it now!
December 8th, 2017 at 11:14 PM ^
877-SHAE-NOW!
December 8th, 2017 at 9:19 AM ^
That didn't take long . . . funny
December 7th, 2017 at 11:13 PM ^
with Patterson they should average 40+ PPG next year
December 8th, 2017 at 9:26 AM ^
And If not, I have my pitchfork ready for the fire Drevnos replacement tour.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:55 PM ^
No. Big Ten title or bitching.
2018 has always been the year we should win the Big Ten title and make the playoffs. Not necessarily win it all although anything can happen once in the playoffs. 2019 is THE year we should be major title contenders
December 7th, 2017 at 8:29 PM ^
it's great because it's happening!
December 7th, 2017 at 8:32 PM ^
Sam just posted this on Twitter with a corresponding article so it’s confirmation beyond what was posted this AM
December 7th, 2017 at 8:35 PM ^
OK this is good, but not on par with the Harbaugh hire (original "it's happening"). Michigan's biggest QB recruits of the ratings era have been underwhelming; Mallett, Morris, Gardner. Henne panned out, so did Henson (but his leaving early swung the Ohio rivalry).
I am keeping a healthy skepticism
