Hello: "Surprising Pickup" that will Silent Tommorrow and be Announced on NSD (EDIT: Signs Point to Viramontes?)
ohboy.gif!!!
I was informed today, by the recruit, that he will silent commit to #Michigan 'sometime tomorrow', announce NSD. A surprising pickup for UM.

EDIT 7PM - an astute reader figured out MaizeNBrew "recruiting editor" has a crystal ball. Which he turned "cloudy" on Viramontes late this afternoon. Which if you don't want to ruin a kid's announcement is probably what you would do if someone from your team is about to tweet out "we know of a commit but he wants to keep it quiet until NSD". Viramontes would also be surprising and fascinating and pleasing. Broome's ballz have a 85% success rate which is extremely high. So that would appear to be the logical guess.

Fuller?
January 29th, 2016 at 5:39 PM ^
I believe he's announcing on Monday already.
January 29th, 2016 at 6:44 PM ^
Just from what he's saying, he'll call Coach to let him know about it tomorrow, then go through with the ceremony on Wednesday.
January 29th, 2016 at 7:03 PM ^
Huh? Jordan Fuller himself said that he will announced his decision on February 1st at 7pm via video.
January 29th, 2016 at 7:27 PM ^
My mistake- I should have clarified, I was talking about Mystery McCommitterson.

Phil Fulmer? What? Who? Hundred dollah handshake?

Caleb Kelly would certainly meet the criteria.

Who else is visiting Clemson this weekend that might have Rashan Gary in their ear?
January 29th, 2016 at 6:38 PM ^
I looked it up myself. Issiah Simmons is visiting Clemson this weekend along with Rashan Gary. Would Simmons be surprising enough?
January 29th, 2016 at 8:54 PM ^
while on his trip to Clemson? I guess that would qualify as a surprise.
January 29th, 2016 at 7:09 PM ^
It's the young man with the caveman's name, MECOLE HARDMAN!
January 29th, 2016 at 10:47 PM ^
His name just cracks me up for some reason... I imagine him saying it like ME-Cole HARD-Man

Interesting........
I had to check out who the source even was. Now that I know, I am interested to see if this is legit or if he's being taken for a bit of a ride.
Regardless, signing day is going to be very interesting.

If this is a recruit whose silent commitment will be accepted by Michigan coaches during the current class crunch, then this must be a very good prospect.
Can't wait to hear who it is!

Response to Question: "Will Fans be Pleased?"
Surprised. Pleased. Fascinated. https://t.co/k3wIiO01vd

Surprising might not mean good but I am going to err on the side of Harbaugh and believe this is a good thing.
Edit: OK now I see the "pleased" comment above as well so that reafirms my well placed faith in Harbaugh.

Write for Maize n Brew, so not exactly a nobody. I'd trust him.

I actually enjoy reading their site in addition to mgoblog.

I never bought the kids story about Mattison. Mattison has probably recruited and secured more kids than anyone in the game. He is an astute recruiter and I highly doubt he would call a player dumb. It sounded more like the kid and his dad had some big egos that needed to be fed properly.
January 29th, 2016 at 10:34 PM ^
anti-Harbaugh quotes in the ludicrous Athlon article.
January 29th, 2016 at 5:51 PM ^
He and Mr. Fish do the recruiting for MaizenBrew (SB Nation).
Fishaw was the first to break Walker moving away from OSU and UM leading the charge.
If he didnt have his own website and edit guy I bet Fishaw would have 2k followers too.
p.s. Brandon Brown - really? haha.

You have a beef with the website.
Believe it or not other people can have sources.
Some of these guys may be talking with recruits themselves (as he cited) as opposed to Webb who often is getting his info from the other side of the machine (Partridge/Singleton types).
This is not UMDiehards or Teddy Blanks. Just chill man. Maybe it's possible someone on earth other than Webb or Lorenz has a scoop. Fishaw did.

But that's because I assume he'll have a follow up on NSD regarding the silent commit. He'd be painting himself into a corner by making this up.
I'm pretty sure someone will ask which recruit was the subject of his tweet. And he can't make up an answer because it's way too easy for the recruit he names to call "bullcrap".

This guy works for MaizenBrew. They follow recruiting pretty close and put out hype videos for players. These videos give players an incentive to let them know ahead of time so MaizenBrew has time to edit them for the ready. The players love them it appears so they notify MaizenBrew of thier intentions before the public.
