i think the proof is in the pudding. two weeks in a row he was trying to go on visits. neither to ND.

Spare me the "hes seen enough of ND to know". He is looking for something better.

or he wants to see Jimmy H in Tommy Brady's pajamas.

Fact: Jimmy sleeps in Tom Brady pajamas after downing 20oz of ice cold whole milk that he stole from his infant son while simultaneously watching Judge Judy & doing 100 burpees.

What grinds my gears about this kid is, he's been hot since the Opening Regional in Chicago. He had all season to figure this out. Now he's out taking up coaches time that they should be spending on the 3 star guys who are looking for a place to land.

I get why the late offers take 5 OV's in a month... they have to! It's their time to get to work and maybe enjoy the attention a little bit. Guys like Martin I just don't get. Take care of your business and get out of the way so those that have been back burnered all season can figure out their lives.

And lastly. The Dude always has a sour look on his face. I've lived through enough Cutler and Golson's Don't Care Zombie Faces. Hell, even Jamire Grant smiled for the camera's until the very end.

There, I feel better.

Wiltfong still has us with the crystal ball. Guess we'll have to go with that until we hear otherwise

I thought I heard on ESPN Sirius radio that BK was going to be at his house tonight?

Sorry, but I believe that dude is wrong. He's going in-home with Lugg, and then all of them are meeting up with Hinish and Adams to watch Jurkovec play his bball game.

I hope BK grabs the mic and publicly offers Raymond Falcone and Tyler King at halftime.

Just heard he's visiting Bama, Clemson and Loyola Marymount this week. Long way to go in this one.

Unsubscribing in 3-2-1.

I really couldn't care less about any of the coverage on this kid's recruitment. It's obvious the media is frustrated with his silence so they are makin a huge deal out of every little in-home, offer, slight comment anyone makes. He'll probably stop taking visits and soaking in attention sometime in 2019.

kid comes across as incredibly shy and uncomfortable with the whole recruiting process. Surprized it has taken him this long to make his decision. I figured he'd pick a Big10 school and be done with it by the Army All American game weekend.

There's nothing confusing about this kids recruitment. ND is the dreaded "fall back" school here. He wants to go play for Michigan, but they cooled on him because of Nico. Now they have room again, now they want Oliver again, and that's where Oliver wants to go. Happy trails..... I hope Coney snaps you in half coming across the middle next year.

I honestly don't understand people giving Martin a hard time. Opposite of an attention seeker... literally never does anything with the media for pub. He doesn't player Twitter games, doesn't release "Top 10s", or do any of the other crap a lot of kids do.

ND got on him late and Michigan led, then they stopped recruiting him as they thought they'd be full up on WR and ND put themselves in very good position, and now Michigan wants him and that's probably where he wants to go. Remember that Denbrock was the primary guy getting ND back in the conversation and then he left... I think the new staff did as good of a job as they could pitching him but it's not surprising that someone would choose Michigan over ND right now given we have BK.

I'm a bit disappointed, because I really think ND would've landed him over Iowa, MSU, etc. It seemed patently obvious to me that he was not interested in staying in Iowa to play football and would probably pick the best fit for himself at a traditional Midwest power. Also, no one is sure where he's leaning because he doesn't talk to anyone. All information is sourced from "inside the Gug" or whatever the Michigan equivalent is. Until he tells a staff he is for sure coming to their school and it leaks out from them, no one knows exactly what he's going to do.
