What's the story on Connor Murphy ('16 WDE)?
Weren't they supposed to be coming out with a new movie sometime in the near future? I thought I remembered hearing something about it but then nothing since.

Doubt it, since the first one being terrible didn't stop them from making the 2nd.
I loved the original too, but after rewatching as an adult, it really doesn't hold up at all.
Loved the original as well. There wasn't many movies like it when it first came out.
Harbaugh babysat him when he recruited his older bro, Trent Murphy, at Stanford - not making this up. Trent Murphy, as you might recall, was an absolute beast and All American there, 2nd round pick to the Skins a few years back

I started a thread about this.

What's this he's dreaming of?
His older brother played for Harbaugh at Stanford, and while Harbaugh was recruiting his brother, their mother went into labor, and Harbaugh babysat Connor and his siblings for five hours. They drank milk and played chess. In classic fashion, Harbaugh kicked the young Murphy's ass in chess. Thats the connection, so a lot of people think he'll slide the UM
Family isnt so sure, but it's certainly something

late decision. The biggest problem may be whether someone else takes the spot before he decides.
Oregon seems to be the real favorite, with ASU a close second. But most seem to think Michigan is in his top group along with them and Michigan wants him as a part of the class; so there's at least a decent shot.
He's been interested for at least the past 6 months. There was a story about him and Harbaugh a few months back and I think MLive.com did a rehash of that story a few weeks ago, i.e., about Harbaugh baby sitting him.
I think he was talked about MGoBlog a few times, including with respect to the babysitting story.
He also moonlights as a defensmen for the Arizona Coyotes
He also also will be playing hockey for Michigan in 2016

commit and prospect. Michigan seems to be picking up Crystal Balls for Johncarol Valentin recently. Also some news on Brandon Peters and Devin Bush Jr. at the Link
-Johncarlo Valentin ran the same 40 time as Tommy Kraemer (5.46), despite being 35 pounds heavier. Michael Onwenu ran .02 seconds slower than either of them, despite outweighing Kraemer by 62 pounds, and Valentin by 39. Onwenu is a freak. Also, Onwenu and Valentin are the two biggest guys at The Opening. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing that type of beef on the interior.
Same reason any one of us can go to, say, a marketing conference, and come home with a thousand free pens.
I'm all for kids getting free stuff reasonably but just seems odd. I did read that all players are taken care of 100% but no university reps are allowed and any friends or family have to pay their own way.
I don't know why UA or Adidas don't have similar camps. I know UA has the all America game which also gives away a lot of cool gear to the participants.
Is not a school.
Neither are random bagmen or car dealership guys. But those are illegal to the NCAA.
That's not how it works. Recruiting violations are assessed against schools, not against the kids who receive shoes.
Kid receives shoes from a school or from a booster affiliated with the school = recruiting violation.
Kid receives shoes from his grandmother for Christmas = NOT a recruiting violation.
Kid receives shoes from his local footlocker for being their 1000th customer = NOT a recruiting violation
Kid receives shoes from a stranger as a random act of kindness = NOT a recruiting violation
Kid receives shoes from Nike camp not affiliated with any particular school = NOT a recruiting violation
It's that it's Nike and it's marketing that makes it larger and more well known and attracts the top players.

I think this one should. Link

I believe he is/was at the Opening
I like him.
Brophy (his high school name) sounds like what his bros call him.
By the way - long time lurker, first time poster. Glad my first post could be filled with such insight.
Strong contribution, brophus.
I'll also chime in as a first time poster, since Brophy Prep is my alma mater. I've been following the situation pretty closely, and Connor really likes Harbaugh, but thats the only reason we have a shot. ASU and Oregon are clear favorites at this point. Its gonna be a tough pull to get him out of pac12 country

Most Irish Catholic story I've ever heard. Murphy family, six kids, mom goes into labor, random strangers left to babysit.
Put him in the class and the DL looks great, especially if Gary comes.
