Zettel update from ESPN
Zettel's comments post Iowa City visit:
"Michigan has been my leader through the whole [recruiting process]," Zettel said. "I still feel really comfortable there, but I wouldn't say I have a leader right now."

Not cool Zeus.
It looks like we get the last shot at him at The Big Chill, hopefully we can bring him home...
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
still the most important recruit left on the board.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:51 PM ^
as well.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:57 PM ^
i don't think we're really in it for him, unfortunately. though frost is pretty damn important too.
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
we aren't getting Jernigan. Zettel, though, is a must and I think he'll sign with UM at the end of the day.
November 22nd, 2010 at 7:37 PM ^
I'd say Zettel is the most important recruit we can realistically land. If we're talking best recruit that has Michigan listed that would have to be Jernigan or Ha-ha...We better not miss out on Zettel. If we can't land the guys we're supposed to land pretty soon your gonna see us bring in a a new staff that can close the deal.
November 22nd, 2010 at 9:09 PM ^
I'd rather have Zettel than HaHa, and it's about even with Jernigan. DL is a position of need more than a strong safety, and Zettel and Jernigan aren't very different in skill level. Plus, Zettel still might be convinced to play OG, which would be awesome.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
but he has no leader right now.
I don't know whether to be encouraged or worried, so I'll just be confused.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:26 PM ^
Zettel down.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:48 PM ^
Zettel has to Go Blue. He'd never zettel for less.
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
better Zettel up because I think we are in for a ride
November 23rd, 2010 at 12:12 AM ^
I am finding the whole lack of leader a bit unZetteling but, then again, maybe he's a friend of Big Will and DeAnthony.
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:21 PM ^
What we need is a Tom VH post to Zettel us all down!
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:34 AM ^
I agree because I am really unZetteled right now.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:29 PM ^
As long as there is no coaching change he will commit to us.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:34 PM ^
He will commit to us especially if there is a coaching change.
November 22nd, 2010 at 9:56 PM ^
have to be re-recruited all over again. At that point Zettle will probably lean towards Iowa.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:35 PM ^
What about if there are significant changes on the defensive side of the ball? That's looking very likely regardless of what happens to RR.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:45 PM ^
will be needed next week. I think recruiting is crucial in December and regardless of the bowl game, we need to hear something decisive about our coaching staff as soon as possible whether it is an endorsement of the head coach and/or the dismissal of the DC. If there are to be no changes, then get that communicated as soon as possible after Saturday.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:31 PM ^
We call for backup
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:32 PM ^
Until he takes his official to Michigan. Then woot woot.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:36 PM ^
The ways these kids talk, it gets confusing. I think Zettel has made some vague comments about not having a leader before, and then following it up with UM still being on top.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:38 PM ^
Give me a break. Are you MEEECHigan or NOT. I'd get my education at UM over any "school". Go Blue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:47 PM ^
But you probably were never offered scholarships from a wide range of schools. Let him take his time.
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
AND this is the last time a player gets to choose where he plays for quite some time. I mean, Zettel could choose Michigan (poop for weather) and then get drafted by Buffalo.
I agree--let the kid take his time, and if he chooses to go somwhere like Florida or Texas, then that's his thing.
But if he DOES choose someplace other than Michigan, and said place has poop for weather, I'll beat him up.
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:21 PM ^
I'm mostly sure Zettel isn't coming to Laramie Wyoming for football. But even if he did, I would LOVE to see you try to beat him up...
November 23rd, 2010 at 1:01 AM ^
I don't have any rules for my kids really... I embrace, nuture, and support them in whatever they do... and they're free to go to any college they want as long as it's Michigan.
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:18 AM ^
They can go where ever they want, but I'm only paying for Michigan. If they go to OSU (I know, why?, but my one daughter would do it just to spite me) I have told them they are not allowed back home (and I was only about 1/2 serious).
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
Bill Kurelic seems to be wrong more times than he is right. If I remember correctly wasn't he the one who said that DeAnthony Arnett was leaning towards Michigan?
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:04 PM ^
Kurelic never says anything positive about UM if it can possibly be avoided. He writes for one of tOSU sites.
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
probably just impressed watching the defense in Iowa. Still don't seeing him passing up the chance to go Blue, when he witnesses 113,000 fans for the Big Chill.
November 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 PM ^
that's a bit unzettling.
November 22nd, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
anything until Tom says it's true.
November 23rd, 2010 at 2:37 AM ^
but we really need this kid. I'm pretty happy that RR seems to be going after a few more local kids then in the past. I know everyone hates when people say that...but I would feel much better if there were more kids on the team that grew up hating OSU and MSU
