Rivals predicting Garnett to Stanford--Tim thinks UM
Per Tim Sullivan's twitter. Though he thinks UM is in good shape. Interesting to say the least...

Those women look like the hookers missing from Dallas since 1982/ And Bottom Left dude looks like Jeff Fisher on meth. MAybe that is Jeff Fisher getting his game face on for his St Louis gig.

but now she's the fourth one over on the bottom
January 23rd, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
Obviously they didn't ask Erik Magnuson.
January 23rd, 2012 at 3:34 PM ^
Hmmmmmm.....I'd buy what Josh was selling if he hadn't basicly crapped all over Wormley despite the fact that his stats were on the same levels as Washington and company.
January 23rd, 2012 at 4:38 PM ^
You may want to clarify which Josh you speak of. I originally thought you were talking about Garnett and was very confused...
January 23rd, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
I blame Harbaugh for losing yesterday. Why can't he just win and stop tormenting us!
January 23rd, 2012 at 4:26 PM ^
The reality is that nobody really knows anything at this point, including Josh. He is an 18 year old kid who will change his mind dozens of times between now and Thursday. Anybody with "gut" feelings or who assigns a percentage to our chances of getting him is just making stuff up. Go back to work.

2007 was the last time Michigan was ranked ahead of Stanford in football. While I love Michigan, Stanford's academic reputation is superior. Palo Alto's weather is better than Ann Arbor's. All that makes me very pessimistice, but then I'm a half empty kind of person. Of course, our coaches may be better and come off as nicer guys and Michigan's not on an active earthquake fault.
January 23rd, 2012 at 4:48 PM ^
important to Josh, recruits generally consider the overall package. If academics were it, Josh would probably go play as a walk on at Harvard =) Also, when it comes to academics, yes Stanford is ranked higher but U of M is not far behind (Superior seems to insinuate that Michigan is chopped liver compared to Standford). It is not like you are comparing Stanford to Central Alabama Junior Community College for the Academically Challenged. Stanford's med school is ranked 5th and Michigan 10th, and in most of the different world rankings (The Times, etc.) Michigan is right there in the top 25, not too far behind Stanford. The weather, well, that is a different matter, but who the heck wants 12 months of perfect without any snow =)
January 23rd, 2012 at 5:18 PM ^
I could imagine lots of people enjoying the 12 months of perfect weath... wait a sec. Is this one of those sarcastic posts? One without a /s to make it painfully obvious you are being sarcastic. Well my friend, damn you, damn you to hell*!!
*hell- A city located in Central Ohio named after a guy who kinda discovered America.
January 23rd, 2012 at 7:20 PM ^
but Palo Alto is an awesome place and last time I checked, Stanford was ranked 5 by US News and Michigan 28. Are these rankings somewhat arbitrary, yes, but those are the numbers. Stanford can't compare as a historical football power, but girls in shorts almost all year round.
January 23rd, 2012 at 6:11 PM ^
So why has Stanford finished with a lower ranked recruiting class than Michigan almost every year in modern history if it's them who have what recruits want?
January 23rd, 2012 at 7:46 PM ^
did you lapse into an unknown language during your deep thoughts on Stanford's superiority?
<br>
<br>I say JG goes Blue...
January 23rd, 2012 at 8:02 PM ^
The reason why they've been so highly ranked, and ranked higher than Michigan ... he's coaching in the same area still, but doing so for the 49ers! A recruit is going to where something is, and for the next four years, not where it's been the past four years. That's why I think Garnett goes BLUE.
January 23rd, 2012 at 5:53 PM ^
January 23rd, 2012 at 6:12 PM ^
Recruiting threads can go from helpful things to embarrassing freak shows this time of year.
January 23rd, 2012 at 6:23 PM ^
There must be a reason why the analysts think it'll be stanford over us, but all the signs seem to point to it being us. *shrug* we'll have to wait and see

Scout has Garnett to Stanford as well. However, they predict Diamond to the good guys.

I just saw that as well and was puzzled by the prediction of Diamond to UM. Seems like Garnett is more likely to end up a Wolverine than Diamond at this point.
Edit: Did you see how many guys they have predicted committing to Rutgers? RUTGERS?!? Oh, and Monty Madaris to MSU...ugh. They have already got Burbridge and UT transfer Deanthony Arnett. Three highly ranked WR's in one class for Sparty. Double ugh.
January 23rd, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
i think we have a better shot with garnett. how do they think they can predict what an 18 yr old is gonna do. look at kiel
January 23rd, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
Stanford -- ALL THE TIME, it's all he does!! Oh, wait ... no, he doesn't. Heck, if you followed him and didn't know better, you would assume two things - 1.) he's a Michigan lock, and 2.) stanford isn't in his top 2. Magnuson has this, it's a done deal.
January 23rd, 2012 at 8:41 PM ^
I agree with your assessment based on all the pro-Blue communication coming directly from Garnett.
I'd put $$$ on Garnett to Michigan. It's a lock ...
January 23rd, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
But are you willing to BKFInest that prediction?
January 23rd, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Dicky McGilacutty just predicted Garnett to UM. He has a magic 8 ball that has been 100% right 60% of the time. Expect to see him writing for ESPN insider in the near future.
