Another commit watch for #Michigan?? ($) http://michigan.scout.com/2/1303896.html#.Uc-TiFBzYAU.twitter …
Sam Webb Just saw this. Who's it for?
MWAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!
Artavis Scott maybe? Hopefully? That'd be awesome.
There is no way it is Tay Scott, with today's commitment we are out of the running
I know Tay Scott is a receiver. Still, there is a chance.
Well that really sucks.
We still have a shot, but it will be harder without Scott.
Since the link mentions him, here are some Tranquill highlights for the board's education. His other offers include Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Indiana, Miami (OH), Minnesota, Purdue, Toledo and Western Michigan. These are courtesy of Hudl....
Looks like he has decent (not great) speed, but I have no clue about the level of competition he's playing against in the highlights.
But man, he looks pretty impressive to me, the way he shakes off blockers and makes the tackle everytime was damn impressive.
To me, he seems like an ideal safety canditate in the Kovacs mold except more athletic seemingly, I hope that is good competition he's playing against, because if so, I want guys on defense who have a nose for the ball, the kid looked like the best player on the field in every play.
That kid looks like a linebacker all the way. I would not be in favor of getting a safety who moves like that. Mattison has said that he wants safeties who are interchangeable and can play both positions, and you would have to hide this kid just like he tried to hide Kovacs in coverage. Perhaps even more so.
Indiana is not known for its football. Carroll is a big high school, but the talent he's playing against is mediocre. I wouldn't be overly impressed by the fact that he seems to be the best athlete on the field.
I wonder if ND will offer.
Ace, do you have any info on what level Tranquill plays at in Ind.
crawford. Calling it
There's Crawford but I thought he was going to visit Miami (YTM) first. I thought maybe one or two more who were borderline lock/#JPTTA status
Now that Michigan got a commit Down to 3 school UCF Florida Clemson

Something tells me the commit really didn't make a difference. Just a position in his top 2-3. He goin to Clemson
And people on 247 seem to think it's probably talking about Dwight Williams too. Buckle?
I posted about this above here. we knew he probably wasnt coming here though, the problem with him going to celmson is that Campbell is seemingly more interested them now. With a teammate and fellow wide receiver most likely headed there it could really draw him there in the long run
But Webb's story is about the 2014 class, linebacker specifically. Sounds like Dwight Williams. I wonder if he's going to make the BBQ. He definitely should.
He says the coaches are only planning on taking three, with the obvious caveat that February is a long ways away.
he puts out a notice like that, is he talking about the next couple days generally?
I'm going to go with Noah Furbush. Sam mentioned Tranquill but said he is not on commit watch. I am taking that as a hint that a LB is about to commit. We are in on Furbush, Swain, and Williams. Furbush is the only one who has visited, so I'm guessing it is him.
Furbush would be the most reasonable from the standpoint that he is the only one of the three who has visited. However, I think the staff is targeting a guy who would play the WILL spot as they have Ferns (MIKE) and Winovich (SAM) already in the fold. Furbush is not likely to project to the WILL. In other words...I have no idea who it might be.
The coaches recently offered Jimmy Swain (a SAM prospect) and really wanted Darrion Owens (a SAM prospect). I think they would take Dwight Williams (a WILL prospect) if he wanted to commit, but they really seem to want a SAM. Tranquill also appears to be a SAM prospect.
Well, I guess my understanding of what positions these guys project to is WAY off. I honestly thought all of those guys were more likely to be WLB's. Disregard anything I have said in this thread...as I'm sure most posters have already done.
I thought SAMs were kind of like mini-DE's in this defense, meaning that they would need to be pretty tall (6'3" minimum) and heavy (240+ lbs) with good enough speed to keep contain at the edge and rush the passer. I sort of envisioned Shawn Crable as the ultimate SAM. Am I comepletely off in this line of thinking?
Crable was an exceptional athlete, but most SAMs aren't going to be 6'5" like he was. The three guys who have played SAM at Michigan are 6'3" (Beyer, Gordon, Ryan). The coaches just moved the 6'2" Allen Gant there and recruited the 6'4" Chase Winovich, so right around 6'3" is pretty accurate. Tranquill and Swain are both 6'2" so they're pretty close to that mark.
I read what he said in Sam's article and the kid said Michigan offered a kid at MY POSITION and he is going to commit soon. If not etc..
What did he loose?
And i know i am going to get pounded for this..but please for the love of god can we get a NEW BANNER ?? I love Denard but he is in Jacksonville getting ready to move on in life..can we get a Devin Banner ?
The banner was changed in late August 2012. It hasn't even been a year. Chill.
Stop correcting me, Magnus...go create a blog or something
I'm pretty sure I just saw an interview with Williams saying that he would be announcing at the U.S. Army game.
its Noah... per his crystall ball
but I have a feeling that Drue and the Wolverines are close to offering and accepting the very same day. Just a gut feeling. Not often you get a kid that could be very good at two different positions, although Lord knows we've tried it far too often lately.
