Pre-Signing Day Recruitin' Comment Count

Brian

Another quick roundup of goings-on:

SC OL Quinton Washington doesn't know what to do. It's either M or South Carolina for him, but there are sources on both sides declaring optimism. For his part:

Washington was supposed to meet with his coach Art Craig today at school but Washington did not come to school. "He's a confused young man right now," Craig said. "He's torn completely in half," between USC and Michigan. Craig said he and Washington are to meet Tuesday morning to discuss the situation.

Washington could announce whenever. Yesterday he wore a South Carolina hat on, uh, "Hat Day." Which I didn't know about. Isn't someone supposed to tell me when Hat Day is?

OK DT Pearlie Graves isn't going to Oklahoma. This is good, but it may not get us entirely out of the woods:

Tulsa East Central defensive lineman Pearlie Graves apparently no longer holds a scholarship offer to Oklahoma, according to the recruiting Web site Rivals.com. Graves, a four-star recruit,had been planning to take an official visit to OU this weekend. Instead, Graves will probably end up signing with Michigan, with whom he’s been committed since November.

Not sure whether the offer was pulled because he didn't visit or he didn't visit because his offer was pulled. However, Texas Tech is supposed to be pushing hard and the insiders are basically saying "I don't know."

SC DE Sam Montgomery cut Michigan.

Though I don't have any new public info on Stokes, Witty, Robinson, and DeQuinta Jones, a quick scan of any Michigan message board will reveal considerable pessimism or even downright panic at some last-second shifts in the recruitment of Stokes and Robinson; since Michigan was the presumed leader in both recruitments that's bad. That strong finish of 3-4 good prospects now seems like a longshot. Here's some Robinson fluff, though. (Via Varsity Blue.)
