Anything on Nelson Agholor? (I know that he's very interested in USC and UF.)
Agholor and Stefon Diggs are my two favorite prospects in this year's class.
Even if Michigan doesn't get either, I will follow their careers in college to see if they perform as well as I expect them to.

Unfortunately, I don't expect Agholor to leave the south. Unless we get a visit, I don't think we have much of a chance with him. Agree though, he's a great prospect.
Also, I have to admit that I'm warming up to the idea of Mauk being in this class.

Yes. I think I was the first to write about this "chirping." It's become an exaggerated internet meme. I checked on our position with Day in late May, and we were still leading. To him, it felt like a second home. Though, we do need to watch out for Notre Dame.
Diggs has a grades issue and a possible eligibility issue. We'd likely start talking to him if these were resolved.

Diggs' issues go beyond the classroom. He will not be in this class.

This oline is going to be sick in a few years.

Would you want to wait and see what happens at camp or just accept the Mauk commitment is he commits? I have basically heard that he is Forcier 2.0 with poor mechanics. He seems like he might be a gamer, but I thought that Hoke was going to go after more pro-style guys.

Well Mauk, if he commits, he will probably red-shirts and starts his senior year, thats more than enough time to fix those kind of problems. Morris will be hot on his heels as be is already a better prospect even though a year behind.

Personally would not take him, but not one of the coaches. QB pretty much set for the next few years with Denard, Gardner, Bellomy and Shane Morris. This year I would only bother with QBs who could also play something else like Devin Fuller, Robert Gregory(help with Diamond as well), or Bennie Coney.

Also, does anyone know anything about Drew Harris? He's a RB from Pennsylvania.
IIRC, he visited Michigan recently.

Haven't heard that. RB Greg Garmon visited recently.

Harris has not visited as of yet. He said he plans to, we'll see.

Good list. Couple comments:
You still think Day is leaning towards us? His coach is chirping in his ear.
And you might as well cross Diggs off. He will not be in this class. We're likely not even talking to him anymore.

Where did this possible lead for Peat come from?? Day visited SB last weekend I believe, 2nd trip.

Per his twitter Michigan set the bar high with him. Some others have hinted that we are strongly in the mix. If that means we lead or not I am not sure. Have to wait and see what he himself puts out in an interview.

Not sure about Day he has always been high on Blue since the staff began his recruitment. ND is most certainly in it though and we will have to see how that one pans out especially with Pipkins visiting soon and O'Brien coming to camp tomorrow.

I think this class will be just fine at DT. Just hoping Pipkins will speed things up and end it after he visits. That should be close to closing up DT recruiting.

Ron Thompson will be at U of M tmrw ...and Alden Hill was told to contact the Coaching staff on Wednesday.
Also hearing that Tennessee is no longer the leader for O'Brien(TomVH has spoken to him) and that he will be at Michigan camp tomorrow

Oh, I see where TomVH snuck in the "Tennessee isn't the leader" now. Could get interesting.

Who would listen to Valenti? Didn't he say that Dwayne Stanford was going to commit during his visit this weekend? You know the visit that he ended up rescheduling.

The scout post is from another message board. One that has all the castoffs from scout that Beaver claimed were not insiders.... Funny

you know, you guys may be a den of jackals, but i can not up-vote this enough
also on a more serious note, better get ready for a great race for Elmer. Mom went to MSU and he grew up a Spartan fan. family is heavily catholic so look for ND to be a big time player. the only thing that's troubling to me is how involved his dad seems to be with his recruitment since he's a UM guy. and here's a quote from him after he received his offer from us when he camped:
"I am extremely happy about this offer...We have been to Michigan State numerous times in the past for camp but I never really thought I would be in a position like this today where it is possible that I might play for them. The coaches there are terrific, the facilities are great and it is an awesome program. It's all very exciting."
i wouldn't read into it much because this was before UM offered and he seems like the type of kid that has his head on straight and is always polite and courteous.

I think Shane Morris will be involved heavily in Elmer's recruitment. Shane was on campus the same time that Elmer got his offer from the Wolverines and I am sure he had nice things to say about the Maize and Blue.
