My friend (Michigan fan) says that UM has stopped recruiting Diggs. Does anyone know anything about this?

If true, I think Michigan feels good about some receivers left on their board, namely Jehu Chesson and Jordan Payton.

Jehu Chesson is a heavy UM lean. I think UM has one WR spot left and Chesson takes that and we get Payton.

It's less that Chesson is a lean and more that he really wants to go to UM but the coaches were swinging for bigger fish. Michigan is a solid #3 to ND and Cal right now for Payton. Like seriously, it has nothing to do with other kids, Payton just likes them less than Cal and ND.

As for Diggs, as I said pages and pages ago and in multiple threads, UM never had a "good" shot at him. They were always a serious darkhorse and an outside shot at best. After they showed up at his house for an in home and he wasn't there because he was visiting another place... they "dropped" him. And by dropped I mean they realized how far down on the totem poll they were.

UVa might be the leader now with the uncertainty at Florida. We'll see. Kid has a lot of options after getting his academics straightened out.

Is this your opinion or something you have been reading?

247Sports national reporter Steve Wiltfong reported the following while traveling down to San Antonio for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl:

"As we wait for our flight to the US Army All-America Bowl.

The schools he still talks with are Auburn, Virginia, USC, Ohio State, Maryland, Cal, Florida, Notre Dame.

More coming in a story when I get to San Antonio later this afternoon."

Are Darby and Diggs friends? Would having Darby help us in anyway?

This is a little far fetched but it would be insane to pick up Diggs...

No leader. Read between the lines though Virginia and Auburn sitting good.

Why Auburn or Virginia... SMH.

????

First, why are you surprised or "shaking your head"? Virginia has always been the team to beat as far as I'm concerned (and I've been saying as much for months) mostly because it's close to home, is a program on the rise, has immediate PT available and Mike London is the man. Everyone around here loves London. Everyone I know from Good Counsel (which is quite a few people through lacrosse) has thought he'd probably end up there as long as grades weren't an issue. Virginia has really good academics and Stefon did a lot of work in the classroom this year form what I've heard to get his stuff where it needs to be for any school in the country.

Florida has been in the mix as the "big time" alternative and now Auburn is making a move as the Gators falter. So basically the choice is between "big time" or "little time" and as long as he doesn't get bag manned he should end up going to UVa.

I hope he picks UVA if it isn't us. London seems like a great coach. If Kelly doesn't work out I hope we get him.

London just got a two-year extension and a raise. Assistants also getting a pay increase. He does seem like a great coach!
