    Sorry about the sloppy formatting, I'm still new to the formatting here. I'll adjust. The moderators of this board have the right to remove any of these briefs if I've accidentally covered any VIP coverage.
    _

    -Even after Ohio safety Jarrod Wilson's Notre Dame visit, things are looking promising for Michigan. He could make his college decision as soon as tomorrow.

    -On the heels of his visit to Michigan, Massachusetts offensive tackle Eric Olson, who reportedly told coaches from schools with poor academic reputations not to bother calling him, is deciding soon.

    -Erie, Pennsylvania running back Greg Garmon returned home after a visit to Ann Arbor on Monday. Garmon was quoted as saying "it all went really well."

    -Teammates Adolphus Washington and Dwayne Stanford will be visiting Ann Arbor this weekend. Both are unanimously amongst Ohio's top 20 recruits.

    -Arizona offensive tackle Andrus Peat, has taken a liking to Michigan recently. He will also be a visitor this weekend.

    -Michigan commit Royce Jenkins-Stone will be in Ann Arbor for a visit either this weekend, or next weekend. Fellow commit Kaleb Stacey is excited to visit Ann Arbor on the 25th.

    -By now, I'm sure everyone knows about the tweets from Missourian defensive tackle Ondre Pipkins. (Pictures attatched)

    -According to a Washington radio station, two-sport star Zach Banner is down to 9 schools (Michigan, Notre Dame, Washington, Oregon, USC, Alabama, LSU, FSU, and Oklahoma)

    -Jordan Diamond will be visiting Michigan this weekend. In a recent interview, Diamond's mom told Tom VanHaaren that she would move to Michigan, if Jordan were to attend U of M. Her mother lives in Saginaw.

    -Van Haaren also confirmed that Michigan finished second for Kyle Dodson. Also, Ifeadi Odenigbo isn't put off by Tressel's resignation, but he is put off at least somewhat by the impending sanctions.

    -In the world of Gunner Kiel, there are so many rumors right now that it's hard to understand what exactly is going on. Depending on who you ask, he's down to somewhere between 2 and 5 (yes, I know he was down to for, but some think Indiana may be a factor). At this point, 4-and-1/2 states are awaiting some sort of statement or clarification from Kiel.

  • Exile, I would personally recommend placing a line between each piece of information.

    Example:

    -Even after Ohio safety Jarrod Wilson's Notre Dame visit, things are looking promising for Michigan. He could make his college decision as soon as tomorrow.

    -On the heels of his visit to Michigan, Massachusetts offensive tackle Eric Wilson, who reportedly told coaches from schools with poor academic reputations not to bother calling him, is deciding soon.

    It'll help a lot in looking a little cleaner.

    Also, what do Ondre's Tweets say? His account is protected.

    Regardless of who you root for, props for helping keep your fan base up to date.

    Tyrone, I would help you out, but I'm out of votes. I used all my votes in the posbang last night on the Gunner Kiel thread.

    Sorry about the spelling that's fixed, I obviously didn't spend enough time on this. I've uploaded pictures of the Pipkins tweets, and I might add a couple more pictures and videos to my original post.

    BornToBeRed, those were great suggestions (re: formatting and Pipkins), it looks much better.

    Nova, we were both on Akron, and I post on "The Deuce," too.

    The mistakes are all fixed now, so there's no need to neg me now, right?

    Michigan fans, I followed all of you that replied on here. I hope I can be helpful on here until we get our own board.

  • Figured Wilson was yours. Funny how Smith was saying he and Wilson would go to the same school for the longest time.

    I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.

    I guess Wilson didn't want to spend two years at community college.

  • Thanks for the write up and effort.

    I believe the new commits sense something big brewing in Ann Arbor and absolutely do not want to be left out. It's created a buzz and possibly ignited others to reserve their spot before the inn posts the "no vacancy" sign.

    Go Blue.

    Agree. While we have 7-9 more spots, but it seems we're starting to run out at some positions. Regardless, it's gonna be an exciting finish.

    Go Blue!
