Was Countess who Webb had his gut feeling about? Lyons next?
December 17th, 2010 at 11:53 AM ^
Beaver also thinks we're a lock to get Harbaugh, so I wouldn't put too much stock in that.
December 17th, 2010 at 11:57 AM ^
I hope he's right about Lyons and not so much about Harbaugh.
Good job with nailing the call earlier btw.
Lyons, Countess, Dallas and Delonte are a nice haul to put together with Cullen, Avery and Talbott.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
What exactly are you reading over there? He has said no such thing about Harbaugh or Lyons.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:06 PM ^
That's my question, too. BKFinest's where I heard that Beaver thinks we're a lock for Harbaugh...
December 17th, 2010 at 12:10 PM ^
beaver hasn't said any of this stuff on scout.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
Who's a GBW subscriber, so can't answer that. However, every item he sends has been pretty reliable, so take it FWIW I guess. I'll take him being correct about Lyons. Trieu was right about Countess this morning.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:27 PM ^
Second hand, pretty reliable, premium board information.
Good work.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
The thing is, saying Harbaugh is a "lock" or "done deal" to Michigan is like the coolest thing to say right now if you're a sports writer. I would do the same thing too, because if you're right you can say you knew all along and sound like you knew what was happening, and if you're wrong no one will care because everyone else was saying the same thing.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:38 PM ^
...locks can be broken. I am more convinced than ever that Brandon won't make a change until after 2011, if it's even necessary. I think DB will, in the end, echo what Brandstatter has been saying: Give RR the chance to fix what's broken. He improved the offense, now let him address the defense.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:30 PM ^
Your friend is wrong. He has said no such thing.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
They're two very different people. Trieu costs money, but he is very reliable. Beaver normally throws out his opinion rather than fact. Plus, Trieu is a recruiting analyst. Beaver is not.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:40 PM ^
Whoops.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:39 PM ^
The fact that Trieu offered no prediction (It was Webb's article) this AM regarding Blake Countess should tell you that your buddy has the worst known reading comprehension known to man, and you need smarter friends if you are that gullable.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:33 PM ^
your buddy is making stuff up
December 17th, 2010 at 12:48 PM ^
Thanks for the heads up gents.
December 17th, 2010 at 3:49 PM ^
Greg Brown?
December 17th, 2010 at 12:30 PM ^
We did get Harbaugh...but it was 25 years ago.
December 17th, 2010 at 11:54 AM ^
Beavers and Lyons and Bears! Oh my!
December 17th, 2010 at 11:56 AM ^
Beavers and Lyons and Baughs! Oh my!
December 17th, 2010 at 12:08 PM ^
Doesn't all this talk about beavers fall into the NSFW category?
December 17th, 2010 at 12:17 PM ^
boooooo
December 17th, 2010 at 1:51 PM ^
better ask StephenRKass' wife.
December 17th, 2010 at 3:42 PM ^
Talk and write to your hearts content. Not verboten unless Brian or mods say so. Or the mgomasses. The only NSFW thing is LARGE photos of Boobies. Well, and I suppose of the nether regions too.
December 17th, 2010 at 2:28 PM ^
Beavers are safe at my work. It's all relative.
December 17th, 2010 at 2:34 PM ^
I want to work at your office.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:40 PM ^
Every time I see your avatar my brain pictures a person who is the combination of Braylon, Castro, and Kimbo Slice saying your comments.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:45 PM ^

Cancer will be cured before pro athletes stop getting DUIs.
December 17th, 2010 at 5:55 PM ^
This is one thing I will never understand. From the free, confidential services offered by teams, to the absurd amount of money professional athletes make (even those riding the pine) versus hiring a limo/cab/van service....
...So confusing to me.
December 17th, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
It's just not about that, wealthy non-athletes are the same way. What good does it do you to drop a hundred-plus grand on car if no one sees you driving it, or you can't take your buddies or your ladies around in it. People with nice cars like to show up places in those nice cars and they like to be seen leaving in those cars.
Just about any guy can get a limo to take him home from the club. Not just anyone can climb into their own Bentley or G-wagon or tricked out Range Rover that the valet pulls up for them outside of the club.
December 17th, 2010 at 2:28 PM ^
Man that is exactly what I always think.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
If there's a way to follow up a Wayne Lyons commitment with one from a guy named Detroyt Fontes, we'll reach a new level of human awesomeness.
December 17th, 2010 at 11:54 AM ^
I would have to ventue a guess and say yes, as he said he hoped to have more info today on gobluewolverine.com...which leads me to believe he knew something was happening today or very soon. Unless lyons or frost commits in the next few days, it seems like Countess was who he was referring to.
December 17th, 2010 at 11:56 AM ^
Considering that he said it was a def player and it was to be today... Something tells me that yes he was referring to Countess today... But I would take a gut feeling on those 2 guys as well maybe a gut feeling on zettel, valdez showers, and a sammy watkins and HA-HA decommit too?
December 17th, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
Can I get an OL or DT?
December 17th, 2010 at 12:34 PM ^
And a kickmachine.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:55 PM ^

December 17th, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
for his sensitive gut.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:06 PM ^
with all that has been going on this year and uncertainty about his future this recruiting class is shaping up to be very solid & rounded. Keep it up RR and bring us a Bowl victory !!!
December 17th, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
She just had it stuffed.
December 17th, 2010 at 9:05 PM ^
I miss that man.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:29 PM ^
Yes, Sam was talking about Countess.
December 17th, 2010 at 12:53 PM ^
saying all these untrue things about our boys?
December 17th, 2010 at 1:20 PM ^
Beaver is Scout's Michigan Moderator at GoBlueWolverine.com. I haven't subscribed in years, but he's famous for couching everything in riddles and obscure percentages so that even if he is wrong about something, he is still right. He stirs up excitement which leads to more subscribers for them. He also looks like Kenny Rogers, of Kenny Rogers Roasters fame. Not to be confused with Kenny Rogers of the 2006 American League Champions fame.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:26 PM ^
Sam's gut could be in overdrive and may have grumblings on another player as well! Countess is a great pickup and definitely will be an impact player.
December 17th, 2010 at 5:06 PM ^
was talking about Blake,but said a few kids really like Michigan.
December 17th, 2010 at 6:46 PM ^
It would seem Sam was talking possibly about Frost. Scout freeboards have mentioned things along those lines. Saying another commitment coming soon and it looks like Frost. Or maybe Richardson.
December 17th, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
Kris Frost would be a great pick-up no doubt about it. Especially if we can convince him to play LB. He's another kid who could get a 5th star after the all-star games. He's apparently tearing up the Shrine Bowl practices.
