OT: Miami (YTM) offered Sousa
This is news for those who have been interested/following Michigan recruiting this year. I find it interesting that a QB commit that our previous coaching staff lost touch with landed an offer with Miami. Pretty impressive. Given that he is a FL guy, I'd be surprised if he didn't commit to the Canes over Wake. And doesn't Al Golden run more of a pro-style offense? Clearly, they are trying to react to the Bridgewater fiasco.
Also, this news was from last week, but ...you know... we had stuff going on.

All that glitters is not Golden
January 14th, 2011 at 11:00 AM ^
Al Golden gives me the creeps. I'm pretty sure he uses Botox.
January 14th, 2011 at 10:43 AM ^
What's YTM? Google won't tell me.
January 14th, 2011 at 10:45 AM ^
Haha, thanks, I knew it wasn't "yield to maturity"
January 14th, 2011 at 10:58 AM ^
It's one example of the MGoCommunity giving itself a pat on the back for being clever and really cutesy wootsie.

YTM = Yes That Miami
Miami OH is Miami (NTM)
January 14th, 2011 at 10:52 AM ^
Yes That Miami. As opposed to Not That Miami or the other other school in ohio. Damn Redhawks and Rico!

Speaking of Miami recruiting M targets........
Someone on Dallas Crawford's facebook page asked him if he decommitted and he said no about an hour ago. It also says he's going to visit Miami, but maybe that's a good look for us.

Thickens...
January 14th, 2011 at 10:49 AM ^
It seems like Golden started his poaching with our commit (and former commit) list...not cool Al, not cool

The Wake Forest boards are in uproar when hearing this news.
The first thing they said was, "Who is Sousa?"
January 14th, 2011 at 10:59 AM ^
is he a power forward?
January 14th, 2011 at 10:51 AM ^
First, I'm thrilled Denard may be staying. It's pretty obvious you can't let a kid like that go to waste.
I'm also pretty sure Hoke will find a use for Devin Gardner in the future, but it'll be interesting to see who the next QB he brings in will be after that. I wonder if they'll go with a steadfast pocket-passer or some kind of scrambler.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:00 AM ^
Interestingly enough, if you look at Borges' last two years at Auburn as OC, he went after several mobile QBs in recruiting. Not that it means anything now, but it shows the guy at least isn't married to Navarre/Stanzi pure pocket passer types.
January 14th, 2011 at 10:59 AM ^
So they want Sousa to be the next Jacory Harris?
Run away Sousa, run away!

Sousa was going to be a project even for RR. He probably doesn't fit into what this offense will look like in 3 years. I wish him well.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:05 AM ^
Golden is like, obsessed with us.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:11 AM ^
Every other school has been poaching Miami's recruits over the past month. So, he needs to find good players someway.
Again, when he tries to steal Mich recruits, I hate his guts. But from an objective viewpoint, Miami probably fell victim to more poaching than any other school.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:19 AM ^
I always liked Sousa's game. He's as raw as it gets as far as quarterbacks go, but his cieling is very high, I could see him thriving at the U.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:39 AM ^
Does Golden hate Michigan? It seems like he's going after all of our recruits (now even former recruits).
January 14th, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
Obviously Golden needs to follow MgoBlog recruiting. At least then he would know that Sousa is not a M commit and needn't be poached.
Seriously though, Golden's been pretty bold in his sniping.
