BBQ at the Big House visitors

Submitted by Magnus on

It's never too early to get excited about a big group of recruiting visitors. Michigan has a pretty good list of expected visitors for next weekend's BBQ at the Big House, including some 5-stars/borderline 5-stars for the 2019 class.

Some people think that McGrone and Rumler will be committing at the BBQ.

We're still a week away. They might visit. I can only put together what I know.

Crouch might stay at running back. I don't know. He's a very good player and could play either side. I just think sometimes those bigger guys (he's 6'2", 224 lbs.) outgrow the position. We saw it with Dylan Moses in the 2017 class. He was the next Leonard Fournette at one time...

fwiw gave Mags the click.... the ads on the right merge with the content in the middle though.  Maybe it doesn't play nice with chrome or something.

This fixes the problem (oddly, when I then go back, it also then correctly works in portrait mode) Also Magnus, thanks for the info. Big fan of your site. Have followed your season countdowns for a number of years. One of my favorite Michigan web features during the summer football doldrums. Have you ever considered including the full list somewhere on your site (or maybe it is and I just can't find it?), so that people can go back more easily to see older pics or catch up if they miss checking for a few days?

Re Rumler: The kid will be a 1st rate mauler. Are we recruiting him at guard or tackle?...or maybe just see how he develops... A little piece that may have been previously posted: www.maizenbrew.com/platform/amp/2017/7/8/15942152/2019-guard-nolan-ruml… I think he becomes a top 5ish guard in the 2019 class. Gotta post this too. Rumler squatting 555 x2. He's not even officially a junior in high school: https://mobile.twitter.com/steamboat_70/status/888068326689300482?ref_s…

For the big man camp a few weeks ago they had it catered from Siris a newish restaurant/cigar bar on North Main. The pulled pork was decent , BBQ chicken kind of ordinary, corn muffins were a little too sweet and the baked beans were aromatic going thru my GI tract. They had big bowls of tossed salad that most skipped -- no slaw or mac and cheese. I think the athletic staffers can do better. Red Rock from Ypsi, Satchels for the local joint, Boogie Woogie BBQ from Zukey lake might satiate the recruits and families better.

I believe you mean Smokestreet in Milford, it's very good. I went to Smokehouse 52 in Chelsea last weekend, and my girlfriend got their brisket mac and cheese; it was probably the best mac and cheese I've ever had. We were both in pain from eating so much.

I see more than one NC coming to AA. If we get Daniels you can bank on it. All the pieces will fall into place as I see most of those guys on the 2019 class committing to Michigan. Our defenses are going to be unreal for as long as D.B. and Mattison stay. Like I said above we need to secure the instate studs, but man if this list doesn't get you confident and excited for Michigan football future I don't know what else to tell you. Also feel 2018 class will have several future all-americans and all big ten players signing with the Michigan Wolverines on NSD. The two main reasons you should believe this is Harbaugh knows what he is doing and I know what I am talking about. LOL.

Clicked through five separate times to help make up for the dick that copied and pasted all of the content in the thread above. Thanks for the hard work, Magnus.

The visitor list is impressive especially with the distance for some of them. Tough competition with OSU, Bama and USC for many of these guys - sign of UM really back in the mix as an elite program with consistent pipeline of top talent beyond the last 2 classes.

Is the BBQ at the Big House open to the public? I am going to be in Detroit from California that weekend and wanted to swing by the campus. Are we allowed there? Also the Monday practice starts, is anyone allowed to go watch the practice. Any help from anyone w be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info. 

I think tomorrow we need a daily click total for TTB to know that good triumphed over evil. It would be great to see if the clicks went up a significant amount (or %).

Magnus, while repearedly clicking to "Touch the Banner" (NTTAWWT), I noticed that none of the listed attendees is from New Jersey.

Is this a down year for New Jersey football seniors, has Rutgers actually "fenced the garden," or are they just staying home next weekend, instead of attending the BBQ, now that the beaches are back open again?  I've also noticed that most of Michigan's targets from NJ have committed elsewhere. OFFER BOARD LINK

The top player at Paramus Catholic HS appears to be a transfer from recently closed DePaul Catholic HS (alma mater of Kareem Walker and Michael Dwumfour), Shelton Applewhite, Jr., a 6-4, 200-pound QB. LINK

Yeah, I don't know of any NJ prospects who are planning to attend. I don't know that it's a down year in NJ, but we're not the front-runners for some of those guys like we used to be. Chris Partridge was a great recruiter, but the longer he's at Michigan, the less of a connection he's going to have to NJ in some ways.

It's not Rutgers who's fencing the garden - it's other teams who are coming in to pluck guys. Penn State nabbed Dorian Hardy, Notre Dame looks like the front-runner for Shayne Simon, etc. A couple NJ guys are committed to Vanderbilt, even. Michigan still has shots with guys like Simon, Tyler Friday, and Jahan Dotson.

Also, the top guy at Paramus Catholic is 2018 DE Dorian Hardy.

Not sure if brownviper is a douche, a douche ignorant of who you are and trying to be helpful, a douche intentionally grinding an axe, a rival fan douche, a Bolivian immigrant douche trying to get a free ride home, or the ultimate tyrannosaurus douche. Possibly a combination of all of those...

My theory is that it's an account that Magnus created 2 1/2 months ago when he spun up this brilliant plan to drum up extra sympathy clicks to his site.  Today was the day to spring that plan into action.  :)

Love the site, Magnus.  It's in my regular rotation.

it feel like everyone now recognizes that our coach has things on track where we want and he needs them to be in order to grow the program to its historical best status that we all enviriosioned when we learned he would be coming back?

I just have this good feeling about the way things are going and knowing what good hands the school is in at most if not all levels, but especially at Schembechler Hall.

I mean I know it's only year three and for the past two he's had to rock the college football boat in order to change perspective on getting this program to premiere progress. Now, it just seems he's building on on all the school's wonderful assets and reputation, along with his own, in driving the bus where we want it to go. In any case, while you'd like to beat our your rival on every recruit you compete for, it just seems recruiting is systematically better than ever.

In any case, I have fewer concerns about it than I've had for years. Others probably feel differently and I have to admit I haven't been keeping track as closely as I normally do. It just seems things are progressing on an upward trend based on our coach, his charisma and methodology of business practices.

I don't say wow to myself much but after watching this McGrone kid, I actually did. Holy cow. He's good....very good.
