So many DB's

This is great with Richardson and Gant already committed and it looking really good Morgan in a few days.  Any chance we take 5 DB's if both Standifer and Reeves want to commit?  Or are we only going to take the first to commit.  Great problem to have either way. 

Sounds great!

I love the linebackers we got so far.  We are definitely going to be able to stop the run in the future!

Defense!

Wow!  When you lay it out like that it is amazing to see how many defensive players we are getting in this class.  Defense really is a priority.  I like it!

That would be a great hire

That would be a great hire if we can make it happen...

Amazing...

This isn't a surprise, but I am still amazed looking at those numbers.  Hopefully Frost comes to AA where he is really wanted!

Good analogy...

As much as I would like Cooper to go blue, you gotta move on to the next one it appears.

Couldn't have said it better...

Completely agree.  I couldn't have said it better myself.

Well lets get that Hokum going then!

Keep working Hoke!  Fired up about how these last two days are going.

Thanks DG!

All these new recruits keep popping up.  I hope that it is not too late and we are able to convince some of them to sign with us.  I'm so excited about these next few weeks.

Keep rolling...

Hopefully this is the first new recruit to commit.  Now we need to have the recruits continue to roll in!

Awesome news!

I am excited for Mattison to start doing some work!

Correct you are!

Lot of good news tonight.  Hopefully it keeps rolling...

Agreed!

Very classy that Harbaugh supported the move!

Love it!

I love it!  I feel like the culture and attitude is changing.  There is a lot of pride going around.  I'm getting so excited already.  Now lets go recruit!

Coaches...

This says coaches.  I wonder if that means Hoke and Mattison going together...

Exactly!

Mattison and Hoke together!  This will certainly have a HUGE impact on our D!

Awesome!

The Mattison hire is having an immediate impact!  More good news to come!!!

Cooper

Great point about Cooper!  I'm sure he loves the Ravens D!

Haha

This made me laugh so hard. 

I understand what you are saying

I was just wondering if there were specific recruits that this might impact.  Maybe Jernigan would consider us strongly again.  We might not be using a 3-3-5.  Will this give us more of a chance with Frost.  I was just wondering if there were any specific highly ranked recruits that might we might be able to get now that we made this hire. 

I'm aware

Thats why I asked what potential DEFENSIVE recruits this would help with the most.

Question

Tom or Magnus or anyone...what potential defensive recruits will this help with the most? 

New DC

Tom, since Mattison is reported to be our new DC, who are some of our potential defensive recruits that you think this would impact?

Nice!

Awesome that we have a DC!

Thanks for the updates

Thanks for the updates Tom.  I was wondering if you talked to Frost at all.  Is Hoke still going down there for an in home visit, or is he 100% committed to Auburn?  How about Fisher?  Did Hoke meet with him yet?

Flowers

The WR Flowers is considering us.

Passion

Like Kovacs said, Hoke has a lot of passion.  I really think the players will buy into his energy and enthusiasm.

Nice!

So, does this mean I should turn into a Hoke-amaniac!

If Miles is hired, would that help with Frost

Didn't he have an LSU hat on the table today? 

Any other recruits Miles would help with

Tom, thanks for the info.  Good to hear that Miles would help with Dallas.  Any other recruits he would help with?  Frost, etc?

Haha

I laughed sooo hard at that.  Yes, he did spell Schad wrong in two different ways.  Can't be reliable. 

LSU Recruits

If it is true that it is Miles, I wonder if any of his recruits would follow him to Michigan.  It looks like the majority of their recruits are from Louisiana, but they have a very good class.

Agreed

I thought LSU looked very good in the Cotton Bowl tonight.  I'm not a fan of Les as an in game coach overall, but they looked good tonight.  He is a good recruiter and typically gets top 10 recruiting classes.

Great point

MSU would defintely go after Denard if they knew Kennedy was going to be his backup.  I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was just for a play or two if they put in Kennedy instead of Gardner.  If it was something more serious they would have to burn the redshirt.

Thanks.

Thanks!  I must have missed that.

OL

Tom, thanks for your post.  I have a quick question for you.  It looks like we have 3 other OL already committed.  Do we definitely want to get 4 in this class?  I assume yes.  So, are we in it for any other OL recruits?  As a backup to Chris.  You didn't have any posed on your weekly update last week.  I really hope we get him but I was just wondering if there was a backup plan.

Let's give them a win...

in the last game of their career!

Minute Early

You were a minute early!  I'm still fired up......ONE MORE DAY!

HAHAHA

I laughed soooo hard at that comment.  I am watching Lou on ESPN while I was reading this.  Thanks Tom for posting this.  He looks like a great recruit.

Nice Post!

I'm just fired up about our New Year's Day Game!  I can't wait until Saturday!!!!

It is a sad day...

As a Uconn Women's basketball fan it is a sad day.  However, we knew the streak was eventually going to end.  They didn't play a great game.  It happens.  They can still win the National Championship.  Congrats on a great run!

Turnovers, Kicking and D

Agreed.  I think the concerns are the same as all year. 

Here is the link

It is around 19 minutes in.  He also said he is certain he is leaving Stanford.

Sorry they got caught

Are they really sorry that they did this, or are they just sorry that they got caught?  My money is that they are just sorry that they got caught.  I didn't think Pryor sounded very sincere or remorseful.

Exactly!

Denard would be a great slot receiver or rb.  That may be his future at the next level.  But at Michigan, the thing that makes him special is that he is a dual threat.  It is very hard to contain him at the collegiate level because he can run and pass so well.

Rivals/Scout

Peterson is only listed at 6'5" on Rivals and Scout.  On Rivals he is a two star and on Scout he is not ranked.  But I agree, he looks like an absolute beast on his video.  He really does look like a man playing with boys.

Denard!

Every time I see him I like Denard more and more.  It is nice to hear that he feels 100%.  He is going to have a HUGE game against MSU!

Excited

I love the countdown!  Every time I see it I get more and more excited about the game.

I was!

I was thinking the same exact thing.  I'm really not sure who they are going to be.  The whole time I'm reading, I was like I wonder who the silent commits are!

ya he did

Ya, he did bring our averages down.  Who cares though since we got a kicker!
