UPDATE 1: Harbaugh also met with Patterson today (Tues Dec 5), according to Tom VanHaaren:
I was told Harbaugh is meeting with Shea Patterson right now. Of note with Shea, his parents were Michigan fans, his grandpa played for the Detroit Pistons and Shea was at one point committed to Arizona in HS, recruited by Matt Dudek, who is now at Michigan.

UPDATE 2: Michigan pursuing OL Greg Little as well, though unclear whether or not the interest is reciprocated on his end (Sam Webb et al have more details).

after watching our QB play this year at the most important position? give me another talented QB over any of those other positions. our D was great with the current safeties.
December 5th, 2017 at 5:01 PM ^
or compared to 2017?
Our safety play only stuck out because the rest of the defense was so good. Numerous components of our offense were worse, and QB was easily the most costly.

j. Woods would be replacing Metellus. End of problem. Anderson, Woods, Kinnel. Good to go. Metellus in two deep.

sniped a bunch of Penn State recruits after the sanctions came down. He feasted off of that misery.

Looks like a Denny's menu. Wonder what he ordered?
December 5th, 2017 at 1:58 PM ^
steak and whole milk
are you new here?

I believe they are at Denny's in that image.

how about we just take the really good ones? If the rest want to walk-on, I guess I'm OK with that. Frankly, I don't understand all the hoopla over raiding Ole Miss. They finished 6th in the SEC West. That's like getting excited about getting Rutgers or Nebraskas' players.

What concerns me about Patterson is his 12 INTs in 392 pass attempts. That's 1 for every 33 passes. Peters attempted 64 passes without throwing a pick this year. Small sample size, I know, but Patterson would have thrown 2 INTs in 64 attempts, on average. Patterson has a 60.7% completion percentage for his career so far. I never watched him at Ole Miss so I don't know the answer to this, but is it true they play exclusively shotgun/pistol? Is his completion percentage inflated due to tossing those little touch passes to the WRs that are the functional equivalent of the jet sweep in our offense? Because we don't do that. Also, did he have functional WRs to throw to? We had 1 for Peters.

Ole Miss is dropping all restrictions for any transfers today. Hate to be I told you so guy but I have been saying they will get waivers or this will be a legal fight they will lose. The word is the evidence points to being misled from actual people in power so there is a PR nightmare about to be unleashed on the NCAA if they don't grant waivers. We'll find out more in a bit today anyway. Harbaugh is with Patterson right now so if the interest is mutual (it is), word will come quick on this.

Having a Big House breakfast...
December 5th, 2017 at 3:30 PM ^
Do they have Cracker Barrels in Mississippi? If they do, I'm sure corporate HQ would have insisted room be made for Coach Harbaugh.

WOOHOO! MOAR SEC VULTURE MEAT!
Vulture 1: "I never knew they had zebras in Mississippi. We should dine here more often!"
Vulture 2: "Yea, they sure are tasty..."
Vulture 3: "Hey fellas! I call the eye ball!"
December 5th, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
just needs to come out and grant these kids unlimited transfer and drop any restriction. It is absurd that they would have to hire lawyers and fight for them to do what is obvious to everybody except those at the NCAA offices.
December 5th, 2017 at 2:58 PM ^
I thought we were suppossed to be decrying Harbaugh's recruiting antics, and wondering why he isn't focused on preparing the team for it's bowl matchup?
Can we please just decide on a narrative and stick with it!

I like the Coke at breakfast. Milk is only for dinner with the steak.
December 5th, 2017 at 3:05 PM ^
not that Tyree and Josh cant ball out of their minds..but ya Ill add that talent to this team
December 5th, 2017 at 5:05 PM ^
December 5th, 2017 at 3:07 PM ^
Where is UMBig11! We need info on Greg Little, that would immediately turn this team into a favorite next year.
December 5th, 2017 at 3:45 PM ^
I'm still trying to get a handle on the probability of Shea coming. Brian is usually pretty conservative so if he says "This one looks like it's actually happening", it has to be much higher than 50% right?
December 5th, 2017 at 3:49 PM ^
Usually. And if it's true Shea is recruiting Little, then human nature says that typically Patterson has already internalized the whole idea of going to Michigan as "it's happening" not, "it's a possibility." In order to convincingly sell something to sombody, you've gotta be a believer yourself first.
December 5th, 2017 at 4:13 PM ^
Yes very valid point. Or conversely, he could tell Little maybe Michigan isn't for him to employ some reverse Shea-cology. I'll see myself out.
December 5th, 2017 at 4:34 PM ^
December 5th, 2017 at 6:52 PM ^
A guy on 247 says he has a friend at Ole Miss who is friends with Shea's girlfriend and that Shea told her he is going to Michigan.
Sounds legit.December 5th, 2017 at 7:52 PM ^
That's nothing! My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Shea Patterson commit to Michigan at 31 Flavors last night! I guess it's happening!
December 6th, 2017 at 1:30 AM ^
Is she coming to Michigan too?
You can never have too much 5-star talent on campus.
December 5th, 2017 at 6:12 PM ^
There was a picture of the maize and blue Learjet at the Oxford airport on Twitter earlier, complete with a tweet saying that it should get Michigan Twitter going for "about an hour or so". Pretty sure that any Michigan-clad jet anywhere gets us going for days, no matter the purpose of the visit - we all have experience with this, of course.
