- Brandon Mitchell
Per rivals message board. Brandon Mitchell commits to Arkansas. Dayum.
So that leaves us with the Frosh QB options/possibilities of Forcier, Furrha (who by the way won't be able to join the team for spring ball now, because Pioneer's semester goes until Jan. 23rd), and D. Robinson.
I really hope we get Robinson.

Mitchell was pretty low on Michigan's board. That was a rumor at one point, but he was not going to visit this weekend, and he didn't have an offer. So it's not like we lost him to Arkansas.

That's what I thought, but, Sam Webb seems to dispute this. He said he believed that Mitchell was offered a scholarship by Rich Rod. I guess it doesn't matter now, anyway.

Sam Webb said that we were NOT pursuing Mitchell?

Has some more competition.

This is awesome, we get to see people learn about a QB prospect, talk themselves into thinking he's awesome, learn he committed elsewhere, and then start to convince themselves he wasn't that good all in 24 hours.

I was just about to post something similar. He was going to be the next PAT WHITE!!!! A diamond in the rough!!! He's going where? Meh, he was never going to do anything anyhow.

...one of those elements that can only be created in a laboratory and then only exists for a couple minutes. Mitchell's recruitment is our Mendelevium.

i'm guessing that there goes the hope that he wouldn't be here this weekend, because we had another qb prospect all but locked up.
January 14th, 2009 at 3:41 PM ^
I had heard he was planning on coming in this weekend. Either way too bad, also Rivals hasn't officially reported his commitment yet, so maybe it's just a bad rumor. In fact, rivals have a new article up today saying he isn't sure if he is going to play football or basketball yet.
Would have been a nice Plan B but we shouldn't shed any tears for losing an un-ranked QB.

why the big fuss over this? must be a slow-blog day.
January 14th, 2009 at 5:47 PM ^
What other sports blog in the country careens from the latest breathless recruiting news right over to references to Mendelevium?

Dandy Don says it's 60/40 that Magnus doesn't know what Mendelevium is.
