big time recruiting win for a 4* recruit out of Alabama with great offers!

…and the Horshoe is silent! You could hear a pin drop in here.

I am so pleasantly surprised at Michigan landing this great WR. I had imagined/feared a ton of effective negative recruiting around the running game, misfires in the passing game, perceived underperformance of the current WRs, &c. But I think JJ's development on the biggest stages has quashed all that. Great get from the staff.

NGL had a minor freakout when Sam deleted that tweet but it's all good now. Welcome to Michigan, Karmello!
December 21st, 2022 at 11:42 AM ^
What is NGL? Everytime time someone uses an little known acronym like this I want to murder a baby seal.
December 21st, 2022 at 11:48 AM ^
Not gonna lie, I believe. At least that the context my 16 year old uses it in. I could be wrong. He says I am all the time.
December 21st, 2022 at 12:58 PM ^
You can say that again. But he avoided typing 8 letters and he's hip, so who's the idiot? I mean, he saved those 5 seconds of his life, and confused us old fucks. YOLO!
December 21st, 2022 at 10:42 AM ^
Any replays of his commitment ceremony if I dont have instagram?
December 21st, 2022 at 1:41 PM ^
Probably gonna need to hit the "Full Screen" option. If you don't have a lot of time 2:40 or so is probably the best place to move ahead to.

that one was a surprise... never even knew about the kid until the post on him yesterday.
Very cool though - seems like a very good player
getting talented players out of the south is a great thing - hopefully, it can open the door a little bit for Michigan to recruit the south with a little more success

Nobody does it better than Jack… No Body…

Wanna feel old? This guy could have legitimately been named after Carmelo
December 21st, 2022 at 1:57 PM ^
Yup wait til you see the influx of ppl across college sports named Lebron in the next few years.
December 21st, 2022 at 10:49 AM ^
HELL YEAH!!!!
December 21st, 2022 at 10:51 AM ^
Alabama gave us a good receiver a few years back(Nico Collins), I'll take it.
December 21st, 2022 at 10:54 AM ^
We are getting top tier names too. Karmello English? That's a great name. For years teams have been killing Michigan in the name department, for years we were not getting the Karmello English-es of the world. Now we are getting all the names.
December 21st, 2022 at 10:58 AM ^
We own Green Hills!
December 21st, 2022 at 12:31 PM ^
Based on the last two games, we might own something in Columbus too…
December 21st, 2022 at 10:59 AM ^
He's going to get sweet NIL cash from the Michigan English department--perfect sponsorship opportunity.
December 21st, 2022 at 11:12 AM ^
Or English Muffins.
December 21st, 2022 at 12:20 PM ^
Or the good folks at Cadbury's.
December 21st, 2022 at 1:50 PM ^
Definitely won't get one from Olde English 800.
December 21st, 2022 at 10:59 AM ^
Amazing. How so many here kept saying we won't get big time WRs. Here we are. Welcome to UM.
December 21st, 2022 at 11:03 AM ^
I admit I was starting to get a bit concerned when we had thrown like 11 total passes going into the Illinois game.
December 21st, 2022 at 11:02 AM ^
Great news! Welcome! Jeremy Gallon comps may be appropriate, I understand. That works!
December 21st, 2022 at 11:07 AM ^
Welcome young man!
December 21st, 2022 at 11:17 AM ^
Can he block?
December 21st, 2022 at 3:45 PM ^
Like a mountain goat
December 21st, 2022 at 11:18 AM ^
Is he related to Alex?
December 21st, 2022 at 11:25 AM ^
It’s on like Alderaan
December 21st, 2022 at 11:36 AM ^
I always have loved the English. The accents, the vernacular, the monarchy, the history, and now the football player.
Let's MF GO!
December 21st, 2022 at 11:43 AM ^
Ron English approves
December 21st, 2022 at 11:48 AM ^
Great news!
Strangely, I'm hungry for a candy bar.
December 21st, 2022 at 11:54 AM ^
KE has sent his LOI....
December 21st, 2022 at 12:15 PM ^
Our class is now up to eight 4* players, likely to add another today.
To put that in perspective, the 2022 recruiting class had nine 4* players (and one 5*).
Add in the transfer portal, and this is another class in line with what how Michigan has been recruiting. If we add Harbor, this class is right there with the '21 and '22 classes.
We've gone from "plucky recruiting with the chance for upside and an okay transition to a great '24 class" to "damn fine class on its own."
December 21st, 2022 at 12:21 PM ^
And many of our lower ranked guys have high upsides and positional flexibility.
December 21st, 2022 at 6:49 PM ^
In February, we add Nykolas Harbor
December 21st, 2022 at 12:43 PM ^
Can I please add one more b/c it comes from Karmello's account itself and is sooooo coooool???
December 21st, 2022 at 1:06 PM ^
I will allow it.
December 21st, 2022 at 12:49 PM ^
GO BLUE, MELLO
December 21st, 2022 at 4:54 PM ^
Great news ! Welcome aboard and congratulations Karmello ! You made a great choice.

Reed has great moves and ballhandling for his size but he's having trouble finishing. That should improve.
