Ace just CB'ed Joe Milton to Michigan

Just seen on 247 that Ace CB'ed Milton to Michigan. Does this mean DTR is going to UCLA? What about the kid from Arizona? Guess we'll just have to wait till Sunday.

Do you still think DTR is going to commit to Michigan? Lorenz flipped his CB to UCLA because they didn't hear any indications that Michigan did enough coming out of the visit to change his mind.

I've accepted that he is not going to commit to Michigan.

Tyler Shough is going to be on campus next month.

I am a Joe Milton fan.

First off, he would be our third straight "Great College QB Name" recruit.Can't undersell how important that is. 

Secondly, He's a perfect fit as a guy who will need two years, minimum, to be ready-- which fits our timeline for a QB pretty well.

Thirdly, he reminds me of Jim Harbaugh. Seriously, my first impression was, "Holy crap, that's skinny Jim Harbaugh." The throwing motion isn't a perfect match, but the way he moves around the pocket, keeping his eyes down the field and shoulders square... it's uncanny.

So, yeah, sign me up for Joe Milton, Michigan QB.

This kid has a cannon for an arm as well. Take that, plus like you said the way he keeps his eyes downfield while moving well in the pocket. Give Harbaugh a  2-3 years to work on the rest with him and he could be a scary good college QB.

If this is true it doesn't look good for DTR coming here now just can't see 2 QBs with such a small class. But Milton and Slough look like good backup options. Also have to like Slough is about to go up in rankings it seems also just got a Bama offer. Which to me is a good sign.

Michigan is going to take two QB's this class because they have to. O'Korn is graduating, Malzone is likely to move on after this year, and there is a possibility Speight does as well. That would leave Peters and McCaffrey as the only two scholarship QB's on the roster. Shough and Milton would be a really nice haul.

How about another movie reference. Name this movie:

Don't write this down, but I find Milton probably... as boring as you find Milton. Mrs. Milton found him boring, too. He's a little bit long-winded... he doesn't translate very well into our generation, and his jokes are terrible.
EDIT: beaten to the punch by 6 minutes, d'oh

(I realize that encapsulates my undergraduate career pretty nicely).

to get into a class taught by Ralph Williams or Sidney Fine.

I took several terrific literature classes before moving from LS&A to the B school.  Two Great Books classes taught by Robert Wallin, and an English class subtitled "Visions and Revisions," in which we read and compared pairings of books.  The pair of "creation myths" was Paradise Lost and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

I'm not too familiar with this Joe Milton. You should add a link to 247 in your OP. I know I can do a simple google but it would be nice if I didn't have to.

I think he is a great athlete and would be a great run-option guy. If Harbaugh decides to go heavy in that direction, I think he would be a good fit. His throwing mechanics are wonky and like you say, he looks raw. He reminds me of Terrelle Pryor.

Uber Athletic 
Playmaker
Can extend plays with his legs
Makes things happen when the play breaks down
With his legs 
Needs to work on his reads
Decision making is sometimes questionable
May not have as good a command of the offense as you'd like
Saying something that tries to say he's not that smart without saying that
Saying something overly complimentary about atheliticism to make up for it
No this has nothing to do with him being a black QB why would you say that 

Terrelle Pryor was a phenomenal college QB. 

Joking here.  This is too harsh from what was probably a benign comment on your part but you should think about this maybe.

He reminds me of Pryor because he can probably be a good college QB too but like Pryor if his throwing mechanics stay average he'll need another position at the next level.
