The Blue Board

Zips for life!!!!!!!!!

I really wish I had upvotes right now.

Awwww...Yeah!!

Good to see the kid back doin his thang!! TPC in the house!

When I saw the thread title- it put a smile on my face. I knew what was coming.

Beyond what I expected sir. Good work as usual.

You got some following ND War Zippy!

"¿Que?"

Se ha dicho, pero Ifeadi Odenigbo visitarir Ann Arbor a finales de Junio.

Not sure how Odenigbo would fit into our plans. He's a DE/OLB, and a damn good one obviously...but if he visits and is blown away, could we really take him when we're right there for Washington and Pittman? We can't take another linebacker, and taking him as a pure DE doesn't make much sense unless our coaches are convinced they can put 30-40 pounds on him and keep his explosiveness. I don't think it'll matter much anyway, I think he'll visit, maybe put us on his short list, but ultimately end up at ND or Stanford, or even Northwestern.

As for Fuller, no chance we're recruiting him as a QB. RR would, Hoke won't.

With Fuller, I don't think that's the case. This staff has actually offered as many dual-threat QBs as pro-style guys (strange, I know) at the QB position. In this regard, the mgoblog "manball" falls short. I know that TomVH has mentioned that Fuller is being recruited as a QB.

Just speculation, but Odenigbo could probably fit more into the "joker" position that Mario Ojemudia is going to play until he grows into a DE.

The staff seems to have slowed things down with Pittman for the time being. I won't speculate why, but I do still think he's likely to be a Wolverine.

Diesel Washington headed to Kentucky this weekend, instead of coming to Ann Arbor with Stanford?

That kinda sucks! If true

Me too. Hopefully, Dwayne comes with him. We have a bit of ground to make up to get back into Dwayne's top group, so the more he visits, the better our chances will get.

I posted this on the other thread, but added a bit more about Andrus Peat (for us Wolverine fans and interested observers):

Jarrod Wilson met with his coach, former Wolverine great Ricky Powers, yesterday, to determine whether or not to take more visits. He has not scheduled any more visits, so it's likely we'll see a decision soon. Michigan has been his leader for the gist of the recruiting process, including most recently. His finalists, as listed on his page, are likely Michigan, Notre Dame, and Penn State. If he commits, he'd likely close out Michigan's DB class for 2012.

Per his twitter, Jordan Diamond visited Ann Arbor and East Lansing today. Next, he's at the Sound Mind Sound Body camp in Southfield, MI (with guest speakers Brandon Graham of the Philadelphia Eagles and Joseph Barksdale of the Oakland Raiders).
Jordan is still scheduled for another visit to Ann Arbor this weekend, but he may stop by at the Michigan State camp on Saturday. Michigan State might be a darkhorse for Diamond because his grandmother lives in Saginaw. if Jordan decides to attend a school in Michigan, Jordan's mother plans to move to Michigan to be closer to her mother (Jordan's grandmother).

Eric Olson said he'll make his decision sometime before July 4th. He's now an 85 OVR rating (maybe I was seeing things, but I believe he was previously an 83).

Andrus Peat is still scheduled to visit Ann Arbor this weekend, and then head down to South Bent to check out Notre Dame. He said he hasn't been to the midwest in a while, and is "looking forward to seeing [Michigan and Notre Dame]." Peat has been (re-)tweeting about Michigan even more this week. If all goes well, expect at least another return trip.
Among Michigan's on-field competition this year is Andrus' older brother, Todd Peat, who currently plays for Nebraska. Nebraska will also compete with Michigan for Andrus as they have also made Andrus' top 13. Other schools that will make signing Andrus a tall order include: Texas, USC, and Alabama.

Andrus is on twitter at (http://twitter.com/#!/AndrusPeat).

OK- if thats the case, then I have no problem with it. There's little doubt in my mind that he'll make it to Ann Arbor sooner or later. I just assumed he would be making the trip with his teammate/friend Stanford.

EDIT: Thanks for more updates ScoutE. Much appreciated

Don't worry, I upvote you every post you make lol.

Haha, thanks.

I feel like I must be behind on news. Check this link to our commit list on Scout (before they fix it, pics included in case they do).

Apparently, every recruit with interest in us (in their database) committed today. I guess we'll be oversigning.
