Nice to see a few guys with really good track records sending their CBs our way!  Still not getting my hopes too far up after the Wilson debaucle but definitely liking the trends!!

The way I took it was he was around a bunch of guys who didn't like Michigan, were probably egging him on (especially the previous WR commit to Umich who we reportedly cooled on) and he said it. I'm a passionate fan, went to Michigan for undergrad and grad school and have said similar stuff as a teenager when I felt wronged (mostly immaturely) by things on campus like bus schedules, tuition increases, tough to get classes I wanted, etc. I wasn't really in the camp that took personal offense to his comments.

Offers from Michigan are a HUGE deal to kids in the state of Iowa. Offers from Michigan with Jim Harbaugh as the coach are done deals with kids from Iowa.

I would be happy with only Solomon, but I'm greedy so give us Martin also!

Solomon & Martin will have a Laugh In if they come.

As far as fucking Michigan, he's saying The Devil Made Me Do It! His recruitment sure has been a weird and wobbly Tiptoe Through The Tulips, but I think he and they are one more Ringy Dingy away from committing.

If they come It will be Veeeeddy Interesting, But Not Schtupid. Definitely groovy. Do I want them to come? Sock it To Me, Baby!

My order of "do want" is:

Solomon - Confluence of 5*/Screw Saban/Need

Becton - Gots to have OL guys, specially OT guys. specially BIG OT guys with impassive faces

Gay - Better player than Becton, and really exciting Don Brown weapon

Collins/Martin - Yes to more WR, but other 3 are higher combo of need/talent, IMO.

Now - CROOTIN universe: Bend to my will!!!!!

film is pretty good. I did watch him play his state championship game (was the same weekend Michigan played Iowa) against Iowa's best High School team. They shut him down pretty easily, so I was concerned after watching that game. Seemed like the coaching staff backed off him as well.

He is awesome at 7 on 7, and his game will fit well with what Speight and McCaffery can do well in the game passing.

Did I mention Speight needs to work on his accuracy?

Not to sound racist but been wondering what all this fuss was about this Martin kid. After watching youtube video, looks like a pretty good wide receiver for a white boy! Haha, I'm caucasian too but he seems like a legit player. Pulls away pretty easily from kids with descent speed in short and long running situations. Get him!

can play the short and long passing game well. I was actually talking down to our qbs and not Martin. Speight and McCaffery have not shown they make the deep throws.

I'm also not sold that Martin is only a slot guy. He can be a star there, but can he also do some things on the outside if we miss on Nico.

But if you're asking me if I think he will outwork every wr on the roster? Yes, of course that is going to happen.

I still find it hard to believe with Solomon, after losing Elliott last year Solomon would be a major get.  That would be the ultimate recruiting steal by Twitter.  I can just invision watching him and Gary lined up together just destroying qbs!

He is giving his final week predictions for some of the top recruits.  He blurb on Soloman (paraphasing)...

 

....Buzz out of Leesburg (Ga) is very pro-Michigan even though Soloman has twice stated 'Bama as the leader...

Wiltfong's pick......

Michigan!!!!  But rates his confidence Low.

In the end, I dont care is the confidence is high / low or anywhere in between, just as long as the LOI gets faxed in next Wednesday

and the importance in filling a need, I would agree.  I would expect this to become more and more like the norm as JH has raised the level of recruiting here and can be in the homes of these top recruits right up to the last days battling for their commitments.
