Just curious could we have Hayes in again next weekend, say for an unofficial visit? I'm sure we can find a place for him to stay. We need to get Hayes in Raven's ear because he'd be huge for this class IMO.

Both are high 4 stars, very intriguiging prospects who we were able to invite last minute.

Just speaking from the heart, if we got neither I will be dissapointed in this weekend.  Getting 1 of those 2 would be good enough for me.

I disagree. With Hoke's short timetable for recruiting, reaffirming commits and gaining a couple of kids is a real success. 

Don't discount the work the staff has done thus far. I'm thoroughly impressed and optimistic that it will only get better as we get closer to signing day.

They haven't (yet) reaffirmed either Fisher or Countess, who are arguably the two top guys. The other kids, including Kellen, never really seem interested in leaving. So, if Hoke loses both Fisher and Countess -- and doesn't land any other top-tier recruits -- it will be a net loss. Wouldn't be Hoke's fault. But it wouldn't be anything to celebrate.

Agreed. We needed DB depth, Hoke seems to be doing a good job there. Obviously if you cut Justice Hayes open he'd bleed blue, but still, Hoke didn't lose him. He also got us a pretty good kicker out of nowhere and is working on some other prospects too.

Honestly there's not much else we can ask him to do with his short time. He's been working hard and it's showing.

first real weekend at Michigan, the vibe is better than we ever had with RR.

I mean, I remember RR as being all over the Pryor recruitment......even then, it felt bad when TP (I love that as a nickname for him) was making him grovel.

Well, the weekend's results haven't come through yet. The 2/1 recruiting weekend in '08 was pretty impressive for RR - Barnum, Demens, Feagin, Khoury, Dann O'Neill, Odoms, Roundtree - say what you will about what happened with Feagin and the fact that O'Neill didn't stay...that's a pretty good weekend.

12/4/09 was a nice get for RR, too - that was Ricardo Miller's visit weekend. Austin White, the Talbotts, Avery, Jerald Robinson, Pace, Miller, Jeremy Jackson.

I'll give you that - those were nice weekends. So far, we've got 4 commits from this weekend. Let's see what else we got.

... But I did just find my laugh of the week when i was looking for news about antonio poole on a kentucky blog.

post 1. Its a little late for Michigan to try and get Poole unless of course if he takes a visit there instead of Pitt.

post 2. He sounded very positive about Miami even referencing them at "The U." Not sure about Michigan or Pitt

post 3. Poole looking forward to michgian visit.
