The Blue Board

It's going to be interesting to see what happens with Diamond. He's really gambling with his spot in this class by not committing.

ALL BUCKEYE: "Tress actually encouraged trips ..."

Good. Can you please ask Coach Fickell to continue this policy? It is working well for us.

GO BLUE!!!

We already have 2 TE in the class. And its not that big of a need in the class. Our depth at tight end is actually good for next year and the year after.

They've said they'd like to play together.

Garnett looks like he's going to visit for the OSU game and Banner for ND.

Here's a TomVH interview with Garnett from May (also linked below):

TOM: We haven't heard too much from you, is Michigan recruiting you?

JOSHUA: Yes, they are. Coach Ferrigno is recruiting me, he's a very nice guy and we talk quite often actually.

TOM: It's tough to gauge someone's interest when they live in Washington. Are you interested in Michigan?

JOSHUA: Yes, very much interested. Michigan has a great football tradition and is also one of the top academic schools in the nation.

TOM: Are you interested enough that you think you'll take a visit to Michigan?

JOSHUA: Yes definitely. It will most likely be an official visit.

TOM: From the sounds of that I assume that you'll be taking your time with your recruitment then? Do you have a plan on when you want to narrow things down?

JOSHUA: Yeah, I plan on taking my time. I'll most likely have it down to five before the season starts.

TOM: Since you said you want to take an official to Michigan does that mean that they will most likely make the top five? I understand this isn't 100%, but as of right now, most likely?

JOSHUA: Yes, that's correct.

TOM: Michigan isn't just a car ride away for you. Is distance going to factor in to this at all for you?

JOSHUA: Distance is definitely never an issue. I like to say that a plane ride is a plane ride whether it's two hours or six hours.

TOM: What's the main reason you're interested in Michigan? Did you grow up a fan?

JOSHUA: I have always wanted to play in that Michigan - Ohio State game. I think that is a big reason why I like Michigan. That game is probably the biggest in college football, and the rivalry is unexplainable.

TOM: That's an answer that Michigan fans will enjoy hearing. Since they probably haven't heard much on you can you explain what type of lineman you are?

JOSHUA: I'm a bullet, not a bowling ball. I'm very fast and explosive. I really use my agility to beat defensive linemen instead of just my strength.

I've been lurking for along time and wanted to get in and help towards getting a board. I was amazed at the info that's posted on this thread.

Me too. I'm an MGoBlog guy, but I really like how people over here are treated. I have lurked for a month or two, but so far so good. I finally signed up.

, and thanks for signing up! I hope we can get enough fans where we can get something (even if temporary) going.

Butte's link was broken somehow, but it's fixed below.

Big Ten primer for Big Red. A funny article about Nebraska joining the B1G, and somebody just got dissed:

"You will be in the Legends division, along with Michigan and Iowa and a bunch of Twinkies."

Garnett would be a MAJOR recruiting coup for Hoke.

Just thinking about an offensive line that includes Kalis, Magnuson, and Garnett

That would be unbelievable. Shane Morris' mother would sleep well at night, that's for sure lol

Agreed. Who wouldn't want to run behind Kalis. He is one of the better run blocking prospects that I think I've ever seen. Just demolishing kids...against good competition too!
