TomVH: Quick Cyrus Hobbi Update
Cyrus Hobbi just left Ann Arbor from his unofficial visit. He's on the road, so not much of an update. Here's some quick quotes.
The visit went great, I really enjoyed it a lot.
I asked him if he saw enough to let him know that he has definite interest in Michigan, or if he would want to take an official visit:
I'll tell you I'm definitely way more interested in Michigan than I was before the trip.
This was an exploratory visit for Cyrus to see if he wanted to continue talking to Michigan. It sounds like he does indeed want to keep the communication open.
And as always, Mike Barwis has left his mark.
He was a great firey guy. He definitely helps in recruiting for me.
We'll just have to see where it goes from here. I'll have more from him tomorrow once they're not on the road.
Like we have a chance with this kid
Wanna give us some hints on this one?
Possible commit watch X2 this week for Michigan. Double checking some things.
Great work, and I understand if you want to hold off on hinting until you have more solid information.
One of them you already know is Jake Fisher. It just depends on when he decides he's ready. That could be anytime now, or a long time from now. He just took a visit today, so I'm assuming it will be sooner rather than later.
I don't mean to withhold the other one, I just want to make sure first. You'll know by the end of the week on that one.
I thought Hart couldn't make his visit? Or am I talking about oranges and you're talking about apples
Good try! It's not him.
UM recruiting mystery date style.....
If it's Mystery Date style, does that mean we are also recruiting Gwar?
I wanted to thank you for the ND info you posted in your diary. Mrs. ToledoWolverine is a die hard goldendomer and even managed to convince my oldest boy to join her side. Luckily my youngest son is an ardent Wolverine. But anyways I like to stay up to date on the Irish, so thanks.
my pleasure, don't worry I am sure you will come around too =)
Irish - I shared your post with a good friend/colleague. It was most appreciated. I wish there was not a 4-5 star athlete at most starting positions though. Te'o is a going to be a beast.
Hart is going to make it and has bought airline tickets.
However, if I had to guess, the other one would be Posada. That being said, I don't have any real info to back that up. Just if I had to guess it would be him.
[edit] here is the $ link to Scout re: Hart. He is apparently visiting this Thursday with 2012 QB Nick Patti. If this is true it is great news but I bet Hart holds off on deciding until the season.
My money's on Daren Kitchen as the mystery #2.
Many believed he would commit on the spot if given a Michigan offer; he finally received a verbal, and is awaiting the official written (committable) offer from Rich Rod, which could follow this week.
but I would put more weight in this theory if Kitchen has visited. If I learn that he has scheduled a visit or is planning a visit then you could absolutely be right.
... Or is that one implied?
He's been very high on us for quite a while now and his family was excited when he got his offer. I think we might get Fisher and Walsh to drop by Friday. I don't have any sources, at all, but reading the tea leaves and my daily Tom VH (quasi-religious experience at this point) leads me to say the other is Walsh. I think he was visiting today with Hobbi and just needs time to talk it over with his family and high school coach.
I wasn't aware we were recruiting anyone named "Love".
I thought we were beyond having to put "jk" or "/sarcasm" on every post that is least bit sarcastic. Anyone who reads this blog knows we've been recruiting on Hart for what seems like years. Maybe I give these boards a little too much credit.
I guess we'll all calm down a bit when/if Hart goes Blue.
Who doesn't love love? =)
...many splendored thing.
I'm down for getting more O-Line visiting and being interested. From the sounds of it, Cyrus would be a pretty good pickup if he joins. Oh and he has a sweet name too.
How many oline are we projected to take in this class?
4-5 with the current class size
...maybe even 6.
from the ranks of our scholarship guys. I think we have 17-18 available or so. We would need to get to 22 or 23, IMO to take 6 OL. I think we are more likely to take 4 than we are to take 6.
My guess at how many per position.
QB-1
RB- 1-2
Slot 0-1
WR 2
TE 0-1
OL 4-5
DT - 1-2
DE - 2
OLB - 2
ILB - 1-2
CB - 2-3
S - 1-2
That is 17 - 24 right there without consideration to the OL. I'd have a hard time seeing us take 6 OL and only 3 DB's or only 4 LB's.
Cyrus the Virus!!! Come on up!
That nickname's got to get him in with the ladies.
Bruise, welt, or cleat mark?
Maybe he let him watch Brock Mealer work out. If that wouldn't inspire you I don't know what would.
leave cleat marks.
Repetition.
You don't believe that a foot to the chest warrants a reaction similar to being stabbed?
Obviously a wolf bite.
Tom, would it be your assessment that the stadium expansion is a huge benefit to the football program during recruiting visits?
That's some from funny shit!!!
Are we out of the running for Trey DePriest, or is there a chance he could change his mind and give Michigan a serious look if Michigan does well this season?
Trey is deciding between Alabama and Ohio St. I believe.
Michigan has no chance with Depriest...none, zilch, nada. Its OSU or Bama. And to respond to the OP, I love it when a recruit is asked how he enjoyed the visit. THEY ALL SAY THEY LIKED IT. This post has zero information.
The Embedding code was disabled by request. but the first part of this is on Cyrus Hobbi. The gentleman pronounces his name as Oh-Bee. A few good tidbits at the start.

I am excited to hear he enjoyed his visit. The kid looks legit and pulls well from what i have seen.
Edit: I almost posted the clip MGoShoe did, but Cyrus was not highlighted and the picture was fuzzy.
...for #55, RT.
I forgot to go to Scout.com to get his number. In the video he has highlights from Right and Left Tackle. This kid is exmtremly agile for a lineman. I am guessing with a frame like his, and a year under Barwis. This kid would be a major anchor for our OL. IMO
....highlight video.
Ooooh! I love a Quick Hobbit Update!
On http://mgorecruit.blogspot.com/ it says that jake fisher could commit soon. Fisher says that both UM and MSU are similar in what they have to offer. The article also says that we are the leader. Sounds really good.
