Recruiting Roundup

[Rockie]

Marcus Hall- Four-Star OT from Cleveland Glenville will be in for a visit this weekend and Hall has taken up a serious friendship with Will Campbell. Marcus Dad has always liked Michigan and promised he would visit. That said, it is hard for any Michigan fan to believe that Ted Ginn Sr would send anybody worth while to Michigan considerring that Glenville is an Ohio $tate farm system. Along with Hall this weekend will be his teamate Three-Star DB Mike Edwards. Sam Montgomery, the Four-Star DE, from South Carolina, LSU probably lead untill this past weekend when his recruiter and position coach was fired at LSU. Michigan might now lead for him, but Montgomery will be going to UNC on the 16, Tennessee the 23 and LSU the 30. UNC is out of scholarships, LSU, you know the story and Tennessee just had a new coaching change. Oh, btw, Sam Montgomery lets everyone know he is from Detroit, Michigan. Denard Robinson, the four-star QB/ATH from along with teamate Ath/S/WR Adrain Whitty will be in too this weekend. Four-Star WR Jeron Stokes will be for a visit on the 16th instead of the 9. Michigan might have a slight lead, he plans to visit Illinois, Goeorgia and Florida. Three-Star WR Travante Stallworth, an Aurburn commitment, will be in also this weekend. Four-star OLB Barkevious Mingo, who Sams says is as good as Jelani Jenkins will be in for a visit this weekend, we are probably in fourth with LSU leading, but he is visiting us than Alabama, U$C and LSU.Update on DT Peralie Graves from Oklahoma, with Oklahoma getting Jamarcus Mcfarland, one would think that this pretty much ends Oklahoma's recruitment of Graves. Dequinta Jones, will be in for a Jan 30 visit, he is trying to visit Alabama or Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arkansas too. Three-star Ath Mywan Jackson will be in for a visit on the 16th.

Some nice new revelations in there Rock. If UM could pick up Hall and Edwards, that would be huge for future recruiting. Already the door is opening for UM there. It would be a dream come true to land a solid LB like Mingo in this class. That is definitely a spot of great need.

[W0lv3r1n3]

So we're gaining ground on Montgomery? Everyone has been saying we have no shot as recent as yesterday, but this looks like pretty good news.

[Bossgobbler23]

It does seem we are looking better for Mongomery. The truth is some schools are starting fill up on their scholies too. I don't know if they mis-spoke during the Under Armour game or if its even true but one of the announcers said tosu is full on scholies. Has anyone heard this?

[rickyleach]

I heard osu can take 26 players ,that is what the d/spatch has said.

[Columbusisawhore]

It would be a dream come true to land a solid LB like Mingo in this class. That is definitely a spot of great need.

I agree. Ezeh has played well, but Michigan is rather thin in that area of the field (IMO). You can't have a nasty defense without hard-hitting nasty LBs.

[bighousemike84]

Ezeh has not played well. On the contrary he has played rather poorly for being as talented as he supposedly is. Jonas Mouton was our best LB last year.

Sure linebacker is a position of some need but Coach Rod will convert DEs into linebackers and he will also convert some DBs into linebackers. It would be nice to have a few pure LB commits but if we dont get Mingo or Jenkans than there is know one else in the class to fill that position

[Shane Falco]

Do we really have a shot at Marcus Hall? There would be nothing better than to steal him away from OSU, they seem to think and everyone outside of AA that he is a lock to OSU. I know he is visiting this weekend so hopefully Michigan fans make him feel wanted.
And does anyone know for sure if we are getting a visit from Boyd and when.

[Rockie]

Just reading the tea leaves tells me that we have a real good shot at getting two of these guys in Washington, Boyd and Hall. Brain reported this but we are not going to offer Conway, the three-star OL out of Cleveland because we have a real good shot at all three. As far as your question on DL, reading the tea leaves and listening to the waves, it sounds like between Graves and Jones, RR is going to have to recruit them to the end. It also sounds like in reading Brian's blog that Boyd is going to go to Clemson

[1OSUNUT]

Im hearing mixed reports out of Columbus. I know for a fact the Buckeyes are holding a spot open for Hall. They would love nothing more then to plug him in along side Adams, Brewster and Shugarts. What I'm puzzled with is the offer that was given to Marlon Brown (WR). There is no doubt we would love to add this playmaker to the mix with Carter, Posey,Thomas,Stoneburner and Sanzenbacher - but do we have room for him. Hall seems like a lock. So I'm guessing we have two openings. I hope its not a case of one or the other.

Are you recruiting any more swizzlers to put in your mouth with tressy's?

I live in Memphis and watched Marlon Brown play this past fall. Word around here is that he's headed to Tennessee. So, it doesn't look like you'll have a problem trying to fit him in.

So we have a real good shot at either Washington, Boyd or Hall. (2 of them)
and Boyd is going to Clemson so that tells me we have a real good shot at Washington and Hall. Damn I'm smart.

Hey Rockie, reports are that Mywan Jackson is announcing thursday. Do we have a shot at him?

[GoBlue21]

What is going on with Denard Robinson?

He is visiting this weekend.

[GoBlue21]

This kid would be a solid replacement for Beaver, he throws it pretty well...

What are the chances of landing him in Ann Arbor?

With the Kiffin's in Knoxville, I think a lot of qualified D prospects will give them a LOT of serious consideration. And, though I don't like the Vols, I can't blame them for the way their talent could be developed.

I am a huge fan of Jeremy Gallon. He is going to be an impact player.

As for Tajh Boyd, I think he is waiting to talk to Michigan. He could've committed at the AAA but held off. I think things will happen real fast, either way once we are able to talk to him. He was/is high on Oregon and tuos for that matter but I think he was waiting to hear what Michigan had to say after the Beaver decommit. Gibbons said that he spoke to Tajh and that he is interested in talking to Michigan. So there is still the possibility out there. Let's see if we get his last visit. If we do, I think we stand a great chance at him.

[sbblue32]

Does anybody know how much of a shot we have at Jelani Jenkins or Dre Kirkpatrick? They are two five star recruits who show medium interest in us but also show medium interest in about 20 other schools. Just curious

We won't get either. Jenkins has narrowed his list to 5 and we are not on it. Dre will stay in the South.

probably not, sounds like North Carolina, since none of the mods are reporting it on Michigan and Mods from NC are

I thought that NC has a full class already? They already have 26 kids as commits.

[amazinblue]

Hammer,

They could be expecting a few to not "clear" NCAA guidelines and academic standards - don't know, but it may be why they have 26 and are offering more - if that's possible or allowed.

I know that this happens, but I would think that would hamper any good recruits from looking there. But, I guess we shall see.

I hear that over committing is something that happens a lot in the SEC.

Last year Alabama had the #1 class but they also signed 32 recruits! Some didnt meet NCAA requirements, some that where already under scholarship lost there scholly and some lost there scholarship due to medical problems.

Every team is allowed X number of scholarship athletes and I think that number is 85. Saban just managed to skate by last year

[rickyleach]

i think you can scratch boyd off our list , i just read where espn said that he narrowed his list to ohio state ,clemsen, and oregon, also tressel is supposed to have a in house visit with boyd today, i really dont care if this kid doesnt choose michigan , next yr the qb situation just in the state of michigan alone is outstanding , boldin , gardner and i believe 2 others are rated high on the rivals list , if we can get robinson for this year and maybe marcus hall ,that would be great..

Yeah, I read that Clemson got the 5th and final official. That pretty much rules us out. I could've gone either way on this one. On one hand you don't say no to such a talent if you can get it. On the other hand maybe we get one of the fastest guys around in Robinson and a chance at the talented 2010 QB's.

[1OSUNUT]

More and more reports of how Boyd's parents loved Tressel and The Ohio State University. Tressel told the parents that they would want Boyd to redshirt then take over as a junior or sophmore (if Pryor leaves early). He would seem like a very nice back-up in the event TP gets hurt. We did not expect to get him - but we have a good shot. I'm just wondering where all these extra offers are coming from since we have not had any de-commits.

[rickyleach]

i think boyds choice will be between osu and clemson, i might be wrong but it sure looks like he throws a better ball then pryor, ,i think by not getting a guy like boyd ,this will open alot of things for michigan in the qb department for 2010, sure he would be a good pick up ,but michigan will get one of the better guys next season,plus if boyd were to have chosen us ,robinson would have said good by and we could use that kid..

[Frank Rizzo]

Will someone please explain to me why ANY MICHIGAN fan gives a flyin fuck what this guy OSUNUT has to say about OSU's recruiting?............I dont get it.

[1OSUNUT]

Why would you not want Boyd ? He is the #3 dual threat QB in the nation. He is ranked higher then the guy all of you are bragging about TF. To say your better off without him is just denile.

[rickyleach]

frank are you new to this board, ,didnt you know 1osunut is our mascot, sometimes we have to feed him a bone, i mean shhit, osu is the lauging stock of college football and 1osunut is part of that... and to answer your question , i dont think anyone really cares about osu ,but its fun doggin them, can i help you with anything else, oh and go blue..

[Frank Rizzo]

Thanks Ricky, this guy is a real scumbag, I mean who goes on a RIVALS website to talk smack?

[1OSUNUT]

Ricky,

If we are the laughing stock of college football - what does that make Michigan ? The Bucks lost to a team many thought was the best in the nation by 3 points. While Michigan lost to Toledo at home and got crushed by the very team your calling a laughing stock. Nobody even talks about Michigan anymore - at least not in a positive way.

[StevieBrownforHeisman]

Give osunut a break. A Michigan forum is the only place a buckeye can talk shit. Jim Rome said it best, that osu fans confuse beating Michigan with winning a big game. The simple fact is that beating Michigan is something both App State and Toledo were able to do. If your precious bucknuts were actually any good they wouldn't be bragging about beating a team that Toledo beat.
We know we suck. Yet you brag about beating us like it should demand national respect. Pathetic.

well for one,cheesedick, forcier is a much better passer than him, something lost on ohio state fans considering their former and present QB's lack of skills.

[BLEEDINGBLUE]

I think he was talking about that river in Egypt that flows north, you know, de Nile.

[byebyelloyd]

Man that Ohio Education is paying off so well Nut! it's deniAL you fucktard.

this does bring up a very good point. if you would like to be taken seriously on the forum, a spelling lesson and some unbiased actual football knowledge would go a long way in not portraying yourself as a fucking pussy bitch ass buckeye fan i laugh at no matter the outcome of any season.

if you had anywhere near the championships, wins, %,class, or history, then ohio state wouldn't be the red headed adopted stepchild of college football.

Nut,

You'd like to pretend that, but it's quite frankly not true and it's sick how much you are trying to convince yourself that you suckeye fans don't have to worry about little old Michigan anymore. You are the fans living in a dream world, always talking about how great you are until you get crushed by the likes of USC or Texas. No one is saying you didn't have a decent team this year and everyone from day one knew how bad Michigan would be this year. The fact that your trying to use one really bad michigan football year in the last three decades, only sheds light on the small, small person you really are. A few years ago on sites like these we would constantly here comments on how Michigan can't win the big game and my fav, "This CHoke's for you!" from suckeye fans. Now the roles are reversed and you can't take the heat.... well, get out of the kitchen then...

Your desperate comments are so far beyond the pale, I hesitated to comment at first but I'm tired of letting D-bags like you just spew your technicolor-yawn about Michigan and feel you can get away with it. Your pathetic! You go to heck,... you go to heck and you die!!!:eek::cool::D

[amazinblue]

[AbRKnight]

Boyd down to three, UofM not included:

"Michigan, Duke, Kansas State and some other schools called my school this week, but I don't want to get too many involved," the Rivals100 member explained. "Basically I'm down to Clemson, Ohio State and Oregon. It's going to be a hard decision and one I'll make before signing day."

I think the biggest draw to Tate is that he is probably more ready than most high school seniors. And the extra 6 months he'll get of practice, will get him ready for the season. I'd be excited to get Boyd, but he'd be waaaaay behind Tate when he finally shows up in the summer.

Boyd will probably redshirt where ever he goes because of shoulder injury. At least that is what I have heard.

[Columbusisawhore]

I was just out on rivals.com and saw the following players with Michigan listed as Medium interest:

Dre Kirkpatrick - CB
Jayron Hosley - CB
Darren Myles - S
Dan Mason - MLB
Jelani Jenkins - OLB
Barkevious Mingo - OLB
Quinton Washington - OG
Darren Jones - QB

Anybody know our shot in signing any of these kids? Just curious if there is any inside scoop here.

Speaking of inside scoop, apparently a guy i work with still has a brother at OSU (baseball player so i'm not sure how reliable this is) and he says that Chris Wells looks to be coming back next year. Don't know if this is news, but it could be rough for us come November. That being said, I've seen the guy projected as a top 10 pick in this year's draft. You'd think if the coaching staff there cared at all about their players they'd advise him that he's a FOOL if he stays another year and risks more injuries and durability questions.

[blueisbetterthanred]

Rumor I heard was tressel told wells it was time for him to move on, he was ready for the bigs.

[GoBlue21]

Boyd will probably redshirt where ever he goes because of shoulder injury. At least that is what I have heard.

Let's not forget that Boyd has a torn ACL too...He would be significantly behind Tate come summer and redshirting!

Bring on Denard Robinson and next year look for Stokes and Gardner!

[NCBLUE]

Still need one more big QB receuit even if they are behind Tate. I do not want to be one freak injury away from the QB play we suffered through last year.

[rickyleach]

i would be very surprised if beenie wells comes back for his last season, tressel has said he will sit down with him and has already said on c/bus radio stations he feels he needs to go, ,anyhow enough of the ohio state stuff, i hope michigan can get robinson, that would be a great pick up , and as far as boyd ,we really never went after him so no loss there, maybe we still have a shot at marcus hall from glenville ,does anyone have imfo on this ,he is said to have a solid friendship with big will , maybe we can steal this kid from osu ,you never know..

Ohio State RB Wells to enter NFL draft

46 minutes ago

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells is giving up his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.

Wells issued a statement Thursday saying the move is in the best interest of his family.

Wells fought nagging injuries much of his career at Ohio State. After missing three full games this past season, he returned to rush for 1,197 yards.

But he saw limited action in the second half of Monday's Fiesta Bowl due to symptoms of a concussion. He finished with 106 yards on 16 carries.

In three seasons at Ohio State, Wells ran for 3,382 yards, fourth best in school history.

[NCBLUE]

Wells is a physical speciman and overall had a good career at oSU but he seemed injury prone and probably will be in the pro's as well.

[Cincy Wolverine]

So any news on how the visits went?

[GoDeepHammer]

So any news on how the visits went?

I was hoping that you would have the information.

Doesn't look as if anyone committed though.

[W0lv3r1n3]

Apparently it went well, there's a story about a snowball fight the recruits took part in on Mgoblog. Most of the info will probably come out later today or in the next few days, but people are saying we should get a few commits out of this visit.

Marcus Hall was asking Patrick Omameh about how he dealt with all of the pressure to go to Ohio State. He might not be an OSU lock.

Pryor leave early to where, your obviously not talking about the NFL. He would be the only College QB in history to leave early to play WR.

[GoDeepHammer]

Who was in this week from Deerfield Beach HS in Florida? I was flying home to Fla from Detroit today and saw two guys sporting UM "beanies" and they had Deerfield Beach Varsity jackets on. I was hoping I would see them again to get some information, but they flew out of another gate.

Sam Montegomery supposedly texted a Rivals Mod "Loved it. Go Blue!" (regarding the visit).

Other good news: http://mgoblog.com/content/weekend-update

Some random guy said Marcus Hall declared us as his leader FWIW. I'm skeptical at best.

[rickyleach]

michigan is now the leader for marcus hall, he has one more visit at miami jan,16, he loved michigan and considers them his no1 choice..this would be huge , considering the kid is from cleveland glenville ..this would show ohio state that tressel nolonger has a strangle hold on glenvlle or ohio , and would let them know rich rod is a force in recruiting ohio..

[tpilews]

One of them would be Denard Robinson.

Man, I haven't been following any of the recruiting stuff lately. I could've talked to him and gotten some good information for you guys.

Sounds like it was a good weekend despite the weather. I know I enjoyed all the snow.

I'm in Florida on business right now. Maybe I can influence Robinson :rolleyes: LOL
I too was afraid the snow storm might scare them off but it seems most really enjoyed their visit. Prospects look good. Hopefully we'll get some good news soon. A good dose of any Robinson, Montgomery or Hall would fix the decommit bug in my book.

michigan is now the leader for marcus hall, he has one more visit at miami jan,16, he loved michigan and considers them his no1 choice..this would be huge , considering the kid is from cleveland glenville ..this would show ohio state that tressel nolonger has a strangle hold on glenvlle or ohio , and would let them know rich rod is a force in recruiting ohio..

Thanks for the great post !!!!! You were the same person who said TP was a slam dunk Michigan recruit - book it. Hall said the same thing during his visit to Columbus. The only difference was that he knew a lot more people - including many former teamates. The Wolverines might be the leader for his services - after Ohio State. The Buckeyes I'm pretty sure will prevail and get his services. They have been holding a offer for him for awhile - he just wants to explore all his options. As for getting a foot in the door at Glenville - don't count on it. Ginn,Sr will still steer his kids to OSU first and other schools second - don't get all excited if you get one here and there.

Thanks for clearing that up nut. We appreciate your keen knowledge into the world and words of Mr. Hall. I guess when you quote what someone says to the press, it only take a knowledgeable person, such as you to refute his words. Keep up the great work; you get a gold star for the day.

thanx godeephammer, ,nut must have agreed with your post because he isnt foaming at the mouth on this. really though ,michigan does have a shot at the kid and from what i have read he is pretty good buddies with will campbell, so maybe it will happen, and nut your wrong about what i said of pryor ,the kid isnt as good as i had posted, have fun with him..

When Pryor learns how to throw the ball better than my mother, he will be a huge pickup for OSU.

[1OSUNUT]

and he still beat Michigan.

[rickyleach]

nut and thats all you come back with, maybe jimmy tressticle can develope your boy ,but from what i see he is a very good athelete ,but isnt worth a sshit at throwing the ball, but hey he is your wonder boy, and tressticle is your coach ,so you never know..

[cartyboi]

and he still beat Michigan.

Toledo beat Michigan.. Great job Pryor!

[GoDeepHammer]

and he still beat Michigan.

Pryor beat Michigan, I remember seeing the score board and I saw osu beat Michigan. Let's face it Pryor needs to become a better passer, or they need to switch him to WR and get a mobile QB that can pass.

Why and how did this turn into a pryor thread.. this is about MICHIGAN recruiting..

Hey ricky, did you get your info from the same source that guaranteed Pryor to UM?

This thread is funny. Love all the great insight.
Could Hall actually end up at Michigan? Anything can happen with recruiting these days, I tend to think he stays home for a variety of reasons.

1. How many players from Glenville, with OSU offers, have gone elsewhere since 2001? Here's a list of the pipeline players:

Troy Smith, Dareus Hiley, Donte Whitner, Curtis Terry, Ted Ginn Jr, Jamario O'Neal, Ray Small, Bryant Browning, Rob Rose, Jermale Hines, Cordale Scott, Jermil Martin, Shaq Rowell, Jon Newsome and Freddie Lenix.

Clearly odds are with tOSU. Hall has a strong relationship with Tressel and Bollman. They have been on him since his freshmen year and he has quite a few high school teammates still on the team.

2. Tressel still has yet to have his in home visit.

3. Hall is in the two deep as soon as he steps on campus. He knows this.

Ok Don lets go over your list

Troy Smith Did ANYONE think he would turn out to be what he was. REALLY??
Dareus Hiley,
Donte Whitner, nice player
Curtis Terry,
Ted Ginn Jr, Nice player. I think would have been more of a threat had T.Smith had a stronger arm
Jamario O'Neal, Didn't he play basket ball for the Pacers
Ray Small, HATES O$U now after being in Tressel's Dog house potional never achieved
Bryant Browning,
Rob Rose,
Jermale Hines,
Cordale Scott,
Jermil Martin,
Shaq Rowell,
Jon Newsome
Freddie Lenix.
and a collective WHO to some of these players??

[rickyleach]

Gee don i must have hit a nerve, maybe hall will learn from senior leadership like pryor did with beockmen, just what did pryor learn don, excuse me while i laugh because isnt that what your brain wonder said to pryor , is pryor related to the scarecrow in the wiz of oz, you guys are so funny , you got beenie and boom and the now famous block o, names for everything ,,how about scarecrow for pryor , ,i mean the nickname should fit how he plays shouldnt it, anyhow if hall goes to osu then so be it ,if we get him then so be it, we have lots of great talent comming in ,he would be another piece..

Im sure he is dying to come in and play for Michigan so he could lose to MAC and 1AA teams.

Maybe he wants to be different. Maybe RR has a different relationship tha the past coaches has had with Ginn Sr.

Clearly odds are with tOSU. Hall has a strong relationship with Tressel and Bollman. They have been on him since his freshmen year and he has quite a few high school teammates still on the team.Can't argue that point.

2. Tressel still has yet to have his in home visit.Show him the money,errrr Buckeye leaf.

3. Hall is in the two deep as soon as he steps on campus. He knows this.Hall would have a chance to start at Michigan. Being 2 deep behind freshman at OSU ain't that great.

Good one, that's original.
