+1

 

[NDPhilly]

The mold of Houshell, Carrico, and Springman except he is probably better

 

[rtrn2glory]

Agreed, he's a little bigger than I realized. From a very good program in NE Ohio as well.

Michigan St. will be tough to beat in this one IMO.

[rtrn2glory]

This is from my talk with Tom Strobel.

[beryirish]

No "official" Top 5 yet but he likes Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Stanford (curse them).

Insider says he looks a better lean to leave Ohio then to stay.

Still wants to make a decision by end of summer.

 

[Ironman8]

Committed to Michigan

 

[Irish Man3]

Michigan is flat gettin it done right now.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

I just get the impression they are pressing a lot of guys to commit early.

Expect another one over the weekend in Magnuson.

 

[IrishLax]

It's so simple for them...

Mattison says "I coached the Ravens!" and then promises kids early PT because Michigan's defense is utter trash with no depth. I expect '12 to be like Notre Dame's '07 with a bunch of "talented" freshman running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

 

[WabashFalcon]

Michigan has a great shot to get the young talent just by flashing the early PT card.

It worked for Charlie.

 

[IrishLax]

Michigan has a great shot to get the young talent just by flashing the early PT card.

It worked for Charlie.

And we saw how those 3 years went

 

[beryirish]

IDK why but this commit kind of surprised me. He said he wanted to commit by end of summer but I thought it would be a little later and not to Michigan.

 

[Irish Man3]

I could certainly see Magnuson as part of Michigan's class come Monday but it is very early. They can promise almost anything at this point but they will still be a middle of the road Big10 team at best this year. Will be very interesting to see how this class holds together.

 

[Riddickulous]

Nice pickup.

Strobel is a blu collar guy that would have been perfect behind Lynch and Tuitt. NOt a heartbreaking loss, but i would have loved to have seen him at ND
