'14 OH ILB Michael Ferns (Michigan Verbal)

[GoldenIsThyFame]

I think this just became a ND v UM battle

He has been tweeting a lot of pro ND stuff recently. All reports though still say UM is in the best position.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Almost committed to UM this weekend. Tentatively planning on visiting ND again for the UM game per 247.

idk if he's a real possibility if he visits...could he jus be wanting to catch the game for free??

It wouldn't be for free - he's a 2014 recruit so he'd be on an unofficial visit.

And a kid that has you in his top 3 is most definitely a real possibility.

A reverse Steve Elmer scenario...

A "Reverse Elmer" sounds like something that could get you arrested for being overly familiar with farm animals.

aren't the tickies free...if that's the case i consider it a free trip...Ohio isn't too far from south bend.

I don't think the recruits can get anything for free, a la OVs, until the fall of their senior year.

Your idea of free is far different than mine and the NCAA's for that matter.

Yes, the tickets might be free (not sure, but I would think so). But gas isn't free. Food isn't free. Drinks aren't free. And if he chooses to spend the night, that isn't free either.

On an official visit, all of those things are free and probably a lot more.

Yes tickets are free for unofficial...one for player, two for family/friend, two for coaches of athlete

Interesting... I stand corrected. These recruiting rules are almost as bad as the rules and regulations of... nevermind. I'm going to keep this on football.

 

[rtrn2glory]

this kid seems to be feeling ann arbor pretty heavily...that's where my money is, but who knows.

 

[Ironman8]

Committed to Michigan.

 

[NDPhilly]

****. Thats a great pickup.

 

[ACamp1900]

Committed to Michigan.

Clearly... he sucks anyway...

Dodged a bullet here for sure.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

He'll come to regret his decision when we beat those skunkbears up and down the field on a yearly basis. Go Irish!

 

[STLDomer]

Ferns looks like he is on his way to outdoing any commit I have ever seen in the recruiting department. Take a look at "Project 135"

Really wish he was part of the Golden Army instead

 

[GoIrish41]

is it possible for a recruit to have a recruiting violation?

 

[IrishLax]

This is boss. Bet Ohio State wishes he was part of their class now, huh?

 

[Riddickulous]

Watch him flip to Ohio State at the last minute.

 

[Irishnuke]

This kid is way too into Michigan. Clearly he's bound to decommit from those Aholes.

 

[irishfanjho15]

How did he get Wal-Mart to make him custom skunkbear shirts?

 

[arrowryan]

What the hell does 135 mean?

 

[rtrn2glory]

135th team in school history

 

[Riddickulous]

What the hell does 135 mean?

When they arrive at Michigan, it will be their 135th year of football.

scUM 135 shirts will I make!

 

[irish4ever]

scUM sux 135 times over!

 

[ND NYC]

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Commit to Michigan! You'll get a t shirt!
