Stephon Herron Jr. Reportedly Firm on Commitment
247's Josh Newkirk is reporting that Stephon Herron Jr. is firm on his commitment to Michigan and he is "not looking right now." It seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Herron would flip to Stanford, but it seems that may not 100% be the case right now. He technically may not be lying about not looking right now as some believe Herron is awaiting admission to Stanford to flip his commitment, but hopefully we can take this at face value. Take this news with a grain of salt, but I'd definitely like to see the coaches get Herron on campus soon and try to sure him up on his commitment

Praise be....just win in 2018 and recruiting will be easier.
I'll take
I second it, I would have felt more confortable if he had not said that.
That is almost like when an AD says that he is fully in support of the embattled head football coach, you know that means HE GONE! Really hope that is not the case here.
Is he aware, but not fully aware of what the word commitment means?
is hard to do
Nah, no ragrets
Yup. But I also take it as if we have another season like last year he is gone for sure. Winning may sway him enough to not go to Stanford if admitted.
Agreed, and I know that stars do matter, but I've seen too many stars not pan out to get too stressed about any one. I remain in the, we'll wait and see fraction regarding hopes, dreams, predictions, and results.
defense will be legendary for years
I ran into the postman and the mail went flying everywhere. As I helped the mailman pick up the mail, I saw a postcard that called him Steven "Boom" Herron and quickly hid it in my fanny pack and destroyed it at home.
Your welcome guys.
Michigan is batting 1.000 when spelling a DL's name wrong!
....but we are batting 1.000 every time a recruit says, "Fuck Michigan"
you're*
Hope so, D-Line is a huge need in this class if everyone's trajectory maintains.
anyone know when Stanford releses their admissions? that might be the day we need to worry about.
If he doesn't sign during Early Signing Period, he is probably not going to be in the class. Early Signing Period is several weeks before Stanford admissions is finalized for some, so I think that will be the day to look at.
Early Signing Period has taken some of the gamesmanship of recruiting out of the process. Much harder to string a school or prospect along to February Signing Day now.
he's still a junior in HS. Can't imagine he could be admitted before the fall at the earliest.
No, but I do believe he is related to Stephon Herron Sr.
Solomon Thomas went #3 overall.
Truth is NFL will find you regardless.
the fact that Stanford has had more first round picks in the last 10 years than Michigan.
why did you bring up the previous coaching!
It's weird how a player who completed less than 50% of his passes in HS and that everyone though 100% needed a RS, has completely surpassed expectations to the point where they are actively trying to get him on the field
I agree. "RPO" can mean handing the ball off vs. throwing the ball, not really running the QB.
I think all the redshirt talk from everyone was in regard to him being a pocket QB only. But if he is going to be used as a wildcat, there would be a difference. But reports at this time of year have to be viewed with discretion.
Joe Milton won't start unless he is definitely better than Peters and McCaffrey and Shea Patterson is injured. Playing a few snaps a game does not have anything to do with the state of the QB position. No way McCaffrey this year + Peters last year is worse than O'Korn last year + Peters last year, so if Milton is playing over them then that just tells you how good he is.
And I don't even think Milton playing a few snaps a game necessarily even means that he would be starting over McCaffrey and Peters - I think the idea is that he brings a different skillset with his arm that the other two don't have. Maybe he's better at RPO than the other guys, which is a set of plays Jim has publicly stated that he wants to incorporate more into his offense this year.
Does this mean the coaches are going to use him in roles like that and not as a possible starting QB some day?
Most are saying he is going to redshirt. But the commenter above said Sam Webb is high on him. I have been pretty sure he's going to redshirt. But in proportion, if you bet 10000 I'll bet 50. ;-)
