Stanfords one of the very few schools its hard to be upset with for getting one of our recruits. Killer school. I'd be upset if he dumped us for Maryland or Penn State but Stanford you just gotta shrug

Bet of luck to the young man. He has a great future ahead whether it be in Football or not. I still think that you go after the best players left on your board regardless of position and if we need to recruit O line prospects harder next year because we dont get one suitable then so be it.

If E. J. Price and Greg Little aren’t realistic options for Michigan and no other 5-star or 4-star offensive linemen are likely to be flipped to Michigan by National Signing Day, would the Michigan coaches be better off (a) trying to pick up or flip any 5-star or 4-star players at other positions, rather than settling on lower-rated offensive linemen for this class, and (b) focusing on picking up four or five top-rated offensive linemen for the 2017 class?

This is why I don't give a shit if the coaches pull an offer from a kid. Now they are 4 days away from signing day and this kid decides to decommitt. It works both ways.

It would be crazy to think that Harbaugh did not know this was a possibility and that he does not have a backup plan. This board operates on what we know which is next to nothing. There will be surprises and all will be well.

Is there noone else who thinks Little could flip? Honest question. We have been doing very well in recruting as of late and the Gary connection also Ole Miss in trouble. I doubt it as many others do but with this staff anything is possible.

I am just in the frame of mind now that we need to start thinking these things are more possible than they have been in a long time possible ever and we should embrace it. Under Hoke I give it 1 percent chance under Harbaugh I say 25. Not likely but way more feesible.

Good article from Rivals.

"I sat down with my parents after we came back from Stanford this past weekend," Hamilton said. "We sat down and we just decided that this would be the best decision moving forward for me. In terms of the academics, things like that, you can't beat Stanford. We just decided it would be the best decision for me moving forward." And while he will be continuing his career in the Pac-12 rather than the Big 10, Hamilton emphasized that his choice was in no way an indictment of Michigan. He kept Michigan apprised of developments in his recruitment with Stanford throughout the process, and he continues to view the Wolverine program and the people that comprise it in a positive light. "There's no negativity or disrespect toward anybody at Michigan," Hamilton said. "Nobody on the coaching staff, nobody at the university. They're all great people. I enjoyed my time there tremendously. There's no disrespect to them. It's just that I feel, and me and my family feel, that this is the best decision for me to go to Stanford."

See you guys in the playoffs soon.

I'm starting to think having more swim lanes is a good thing for the next few days.

More excited for the guys we may get even if we have to scramble some on the Oline; if the last few years has taught us anything, nothing is worse than having a stable of high ranked recruits chained to even higher expectations that aren't getting the job done.

sounds like he didn't want to compete with Wilson coming in soon.

You guys could win the playoff every year or go 5 and 7 and I would never spend a minute on your message board. Enjoy your recent success. You are only as inferior as you make yourself. Posting here to defend everything sparty is just sad. I feel sorry for you honestly. It is like you won the lotto recently but still envy your neighbors better job. I do not get it.

These are great people to get info from. With Bredeson Onwenu and forgive spelling Spennelli? We have some solid prospects on board. Just a little worried about sheer numbers. Someone above posted we are in good shape for the #1 guy for 17 class as well.
