  • Thing is with us FSU fans is the staff have invested 3 years into him and us fans have been hearing his name for that long, it is hard for us and most national analyst seeing him going elsewhere. He could end up a Wolverine but do you see where we are coming from....

    They can't see where we are coming from unless they came from where we come from

    That is how it works in recruiting

    Absolutely. My gut tells me you guys are correct. I know UM people/insiders were extremely confident on Levenberry as recently as last month..so we'll see. I can definitely see a scenario where Levenberry just wanted FSU to show the love again and everything would be great.

    We'll see. FSU people could definitely be right, or the UM insiders who basically were penciling Levenberry in are correct.

    Insiders as in posters or mods..... look Michigan can get him just as easy as FSU... EJ has been a name heard by us fans for 3 years... and usually it is he who is mentioning or talking us up..... so it is hard for us to see otherwise...

    Mods/connected posters. Also, Michigan turned down top 100 prospects from even visiting last month leading many to speculate Levenberry and another LB Gedeon were silent commitments.

    Like I said, I tend to suspect it will be FSU, but assuming he makes it to UM next weekend you never know.

    He pretty much said that. That FSU wasn't showing him love like Michigan was.... then it happened... contact was back on and like that he was on campus for a week.... I am not saying he is a Nole, cause well I don't know but I do feel FSU has been the team to beat although Michigan has not made it easy cause he is really having to think about it... if no other team was one him like Michigan has been he would have already been a Nole IMO.... but Michigan push hard while FSU got relaxed.... FSU has been turning the heat up and seems to be moving into the right direction again

    this is what has puzzles me...if the visit went off as well as the FSU people are saying and he's all FSU, but all it did was pull FSU even in the race...doesn't seem like that big a deal to me.

    FSU needed to look for a commitment out of that visit or him coming away saying they are my far and away #1 and him talking about an imminent commitment or changed commitment timeline.

    Instead he said his timeline is still the Army Game but that it's not set in stone- and that FSU is now tied with Michigan and that he is visiting Michigan on April 12th to 14th for the Spring game.

    Guess I just don't see why Michigan should quit recruiting him and that it's forgone he's going to FSU? shrug

    But somehow my opinion turned into me getting flamed and flying off the handle as usual....lol

    Again.... us FSU fans were told before the visit that no matter how well it went a commitment would likely not come, it simply is how this family do things, they take their time and weigh all options and not make an emotional decision..... so again a commitment was not expected so that has nothing to do with our confidence it stems from the past 3 years of EJ and FSU ..... nothing more, nothing less... you are assuming and speculating that no commitment means that nothing happened or that FSU didn't do anything to help them.... so am I to assume if EJ doesn't commit to UM on the weekend he is there that UM didn't do squat... cause that is practically what you are saying. So after his weekend lets see if you don't post how you feel that EJ will be a wolverine....

    You obviously haven't followed recruiting very long, FSU has been a favorite of his for years

    Michigan only came into the picture recently, kid has long loved FSU the most and we FSU fans know this

    He cooled on us as we cooled on him but FSU was heavy in the picture long before Michigan was even in the race, that is what you don't seem to understand

    It has nothing to do with what your staff should do, we or I just think the kid is a Nole

    Get over it already

    I've followed recruiting long enough.

    Kid might have really loved FSU in the past...but that was before he really experienced anything else. He's not an FSU legacy, nor is he from the state of Florida. If he was one of those two, then I'd be more inclined to think he's an FSU lock.

    FSU being in the race before Michigan is completely irrelevant to this topic. Michigan was not in the race previously. Now they are.

    The kid went on a visit for 5 days and came away saying FSU is now tied for #1. Didn't say they overtook Michigan or that they now are his clear cut #1. Just said they were tied. Also didn't talk of changing his commitment timeline, seemed pretty steadfast on announcing at the Army game.

    FSU just got their best crack at him and pulled even, not ahead. Not much to see there IMO. We'll see what happens.

    You say nothing to see cause you don't want FSU in the race cause it scares you... and we got our best crack at him, well for someone who follows recruiting as you say you do then you know FSU has many more cracks at him......

    Again if EJ doesn't commit to Michigan after their spring game can I assume the same as you have about FSU .... that Michigan fans are just being happy for no reason cause that is all you are basing it on... FSU had ground to make it up which it did.... and now back even makes it better for FSU since his dad love for FSU and EJ relationship and love for FSU .... you are reading wayctoo much into to try to make it a positive for Michigan and a negative for FSU

    lol

    running in circles here.

    officially burying the hatchet. Good luck on E, fsu ppl. We will see what happens. All I am saying on this topic from now on until he commits to a school. Don't want to talk about this any more. Was just kidding when I was flaming your school, I actually do like FSU.

    Who wants the #242 ranked player in the country anyways? Surely not Florida. I kid. I kid. biggrin

  • Levenberry is a legit top 100 player to me. Why would UM take him if they didn't think that highly of him? They have needs elsewhere, and it just wouldn't make sense unless they thought he was elite...Especially after a LB haul that includes:

    Bolden
    Ross
    Jenkins-Stone
    Ringer
    Gedeon
    McCray

    Not to mention Cass Tech has some outstanding '14 LBs waiting in the wings, and there is a kid from Detroit King that looks like a stud as well.

    I mean hell, they dropped O' Daniel, eventhough it might have given them a leg up on Kendall Fuller... Levenberry is a stud
