'12 MA ATH Armani Reeves (OSU Verbal)

[tko]

Urban just continues to snap his fingers.

 

[woolybug25]

So how many kids are going to have to magically become ineligible for Urban to sign this class?

At least he is not at Michigan.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Just keep getting kids tOSU, so we can have Neal. And I am also a Buckeye fan and this is a great get.

 

[Kanye West]

What are you doing here then?

Idk, maybe I root for ND and Ohio State. One because my dad went there and I grew up a fan and another because I go there and have lived 7 miles away from it for 17 years.

I will always root ND over Ohio State, but I will still root for Ohio State and am enjoying their recruiting class( well besides Decker and potentially Neal.)

 

[BeauBenken]

And this coming from Buster. lol

 

[IrishLax]

SO AWESOME.

This would've been a HUGE pickup for Michigan. As I've said numerous times in this thread and elsewhere..... Armani is a stud athlete and I'm a huge fan. Can play on either side of the ball and he has dominated every time he's been on TV. I think he's very underrated because he hails from the Northeast.

This also might help us a bit with Davonte Neal. Maybe not, but Reeves and he are quite similar. Reeves is bigger and less explosive but they're similar Slot/CB prospects.

I really hope so. I really fell in love with Neal's game during his All-Star game. His explosiveness is the perfect compliment to our receiving corps. Daniels, DGB and Neal would have the potential of being the best WR group in the country. Especially with Golson and/or Gunner throwing to them.

The thought blows my mind, really.

Neal is my favorite prospect in this class. I really hope he goes to ND. We'll also have our it Tes, and Chris Brown and Ferguson two studs. I love this Wide Reciever haul, and I would love it more if Neal commits.

Sad Trombone for UM...

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Quick look Reeves puts them over the 82 limit.
Not sure how many 5ys they have. Looking that up now.

 

[Riddickulous]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

**** YOU MICHIGAN

 

[Walter White]

And I am also a Buckeye fan and this is a great get.

So you like ND and Ohio State???

That's a weird combo but I guess you must have twice the hate for Michigan. I guess that's ok...

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Delicious schadenfreude.

 

[NDPhilly]

Michigans remaining targets:

Alex Kozan - 3 OL reportedly deciding tonight. Auburn or Iowa most likely

Jordan Diamond - 4 OL final 4 of Auburn, Arky, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Toss up

Sam Grant - 3 TE BC decommit final 3 of OU, Arky, and Michigan. Toss up

Chris Muller - 4 OL waivering on Rutgers. IMO he picks Michigan.

Their 5th years are a little different than Notre Dame's.

They also offered a 3 star d lineman this weekend that has nothing but MAC offers. Must not feel confident with these guys.

This would kinda suck. Kinda like how it sucks that Diamond is likely headed to Michigan instead of Wisconsin because Wisconsin lost their OL guy.

I could give a **** about Sam Grant or Alex Koan lol. It's seriously weird how happy I am that they missed on Reeves/Garnett. I was a huge fan of both of those guys.

A DT or DE? Because if they are offering a DT, then their Schutt slight seems rather dumb now.

 

[Walter White]

Please explain.

Are they different than most other college programs or just ND's? Because everybody's 5th years are different than ours.

I'll have to look but I think it was a tackle.

Willie Henry?

Well I think the 5th years are already counted towards the 82 limit. Notre Dame has to accept potential 5th year players into grad school. At other schools they are automatically on the team unless they are cut. I guess what I'm saying is Urban won't have the luxury of not bringing back a 5th year guy to free up scholarship space.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Willie Henry?

Yep. Does have an offer from Illinois and some Big East programs in addition to the MAC.

 

[IrishLax]

The more scholarships they use up on crappy players to close this cycle, the better. Hopefully they only get 1 or 0 of the 4 linemen left on their board.

 

[woolybug25]

We got two great DT's in this class, we play a 3-4, and I am still peeved that we said no to Schutt. If I was a Michigan fan, I would see their rejection of Schutt a huge mistake in this class. Especially considering that he will be lining up against them at OSU.

 

[NDPhilly]

They got Ondre Pipkins who IMO would be a perfect NG for us.

He is amazing for the 3-4, but Day and Jones might allow us to show multiple fronts which is what elite Defenses are able to do. Not to mention no one knows how Okwara grows.

 

[woolybug25]

They play a 4-3 and lost Martin. Regardless of how Pipkins turns out, turning down a top-10 DT and letting him go to your arch rival, while picking up a 3* kid at the 11th hour seems very dumb.

Even if Mattison was trying to build for a 3-4 (what he has done pre-Michigan), I dont see them picking up the defensive ends necessary to run that defense either.

 

[NDPhilly]

Not sure why Pipkins chose to play in a 4-3. Alabama was all over him. He would be a total beast in at NG in Bama's 3-4

They recruited some good size, I'm not sure about the athletism of guys like Wormley though.
