That's pretty cool. I see he's an unrated recruit with no D1 offers besides the academies... how did things go down to get an offer from Michigan?

harbaugh had offered 2 of his teammates fleming-osu and haliday-msu...he went to michigan this past weekend on a visit to check out the wrestling program and to have a private work out in front of harbaugh....he did well enough i guess to get an offer...i told my buddy about them in the past pulling offers late but he has offers from everywhere for wrestling so if the football offer gets pulled he will have a wrestling offer wherever he wants...but his goal is that he wanted to play football in college

Awesome, makes perfect sense. Michigan is notorious for offering these kinds of prospects and then yanking offers very late, so you were smart to warn him about that. If he doesn't have other major football offers at the moment and has a bunch of wrestling offers as Plan B then it's very smart to take the Michigan football offer now and see how things play out. Congrats to him!

I never thought I'd post this, but I hope Michigan wins the College World Series. It would be a great big picture victory for Midwestern College Baseball.
Wichita State won it in 1989 and prior to that it was Ohio State in 1966. The rest has been the West and South.
Wish it didn't have to be Michigan, but I'll take what I can get at this point having seen that time line.

Due to .Title IX, a wrestling scholarship isn't the same as a football scholly. A wrestling scholarship is more than likely a partial and won't cover nearly as much as a FB scholarship. Smart to take the FB as it frees up scholarship money for other wrestlers and gives him a better ride.

I'm surprised the artificial intelligence programmed on this site didn't pick that up and give you a perma-ban.

I saw about Garcia committing, it's a smart move by him, even if it's Michigan. I think other schools will take notice, especially G5s in an attempt to take him from Michigan with the promise of actual playing time.
He is a fantastic wrestler, and all I've heard is how good of a kid he is too. I wonder if his brother will get some looks now going into his sophomore year.

Seems like little brothers usually are. Big brother teaches them by kicking their butt everyday until that time comes and big brother gets that look on his face.

I remember Bill James talking about how a disproportionate number of prospect busts in baseball were little brothers. He mused that they honed their skills playing with big brother(s) which made them more advanced at a younger age but also had less room to continue growth.
I have no opinion about football which is less skill-based than baseball. It's just something that leaped to mind.

My four sons played FB and wrestled. 11 years difference between the oldest and the youngest. They spent their free time playing FB in the yard and rarely held back. I still remember the time the neighbor sent her boy over to play. He was the same age as our youngest. One play and he was running home crying. The boys were like, "What did we do?" lol

Makes sense. The only younger brother that turned out better than his elder (off the top of my head) is Trevor Hoffman (HOF closer) who followed his big bro Glenn Hoffman (career utilityman).

Harold Reynolds, Steve Sax, Orlando Cabrrera, Aaron Nola, Roberto Alomar, Honus Wagner, George Brett, Robin Yount, Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddux, Vlad Guerrero, and Joe DiMaggio* all seemed to fare a little better than their older brother(s).
*DiMaggio was the second of 3 brothers to play. So not the youngest brother, but still quite a bit better than older brother Vince.

Thank. God. Vandy won last night.
Dude who sits next to me at work told me in 2018: "no one cares about college hockey." When ND was playing for the national championship. I didn't even bring the game up, another co worker said in passing "Big hockey game tonight."
Same mofo who said no one cares about hockey wouldn't shut up about the CWS.

Trying to say that someone hacked his account.
Let's face it, if someone hacked his account I guarantee there would be worse things done than speaking in the 3rd person and calling out a player and coach.

Hell no. I honestly can't remember a single time when the getting hacked excuse actually turned out to be true.

He put out a statement last night that it wasn't a hack, but a photoshop to make it look like he tweeted something dumb and then deleted it.
Doesn't really jive with his sister getting on Facebook and saying he got hacked, but who knows...
If it was real, then we know Shea has burners out there like Kevin Durant. If you're that sensitive about driving a message on Twitter, maybe you shouldn't be the starting QB at a college football blue blood lol.
