Mario Ojemudia's Tweet
"I think I'll make my life easy and just get this over with"
He was at the msu spring game this past weekend but people seem to think he favors UofM. It would be wonderful to grab another instate 4 star especially if it takes one away from a rival such as msu. Here is his Scout profile
http://michigan.scout.com/a.z?s=162&p=8&c=1&nid=5176129
He'd probably end up playing rush end like Roh.
Sign him up, Coach!
There has been specualtion that he may try and visit Ann Arbor this upcoming weekend but it's not set in stone.
So if he were to visit and potentially commit, this would be different big news than the big news Barnett was predicting for this weekend? Therefore giving me way too many things to anticipate?
i wouldnt be so sure about this one... the words he initially used after his visit were not palatable, and he seemed to be a hater, or grew up one. this is sometimes hard to overcome. hope im wrong, but all i am saying is it could go the other way here.
These words after his first visit?
We went to practice and talked to Coach Jackson and saw all the coaches. I had a long talk with Coach Hoke, too. He basically talked about what Michigan has to offer and the tradition there. I liked the visit more than I thought I would. I liked it more because of the coaches, they're just really easy to talk and get a long with. I didn't expect all that. We were all just talking about life a lot, especially with Coach Jackson.
. . . Watching practice I liked how it was ran. Everyone was hustling and it was 100%. I was basically trying to watch the ends and outside linebackers. After that Coach Singletary took me around by myself and gave me a tour. He was just telling me how Michigan is different.

So the guy didn't grow up a Michigan fan. Who gives a shit? Farmington Hills is full of Sparty fans, and FHH has been an MSU pipeline for years. Being a 14-year-old rooting for the same team as everyone around you doesn't make you a hater.
Calling a teenager a hater, however, does make YOU a hater.
I was not a fan of the comment... "I liked the visit more than I thought I would"....and recall Marcus Hall or someone similar say that. Thats all. And to you monsieur, in the kind words of the Queen.... piss off
What's wrong with that? When a kid says that, it sounds like the visit made a favorable impression on him.
My wife cooks new food sometimes. I'm occasionally sceptical, but often I will tell her afterward "Honey, I didn't think I would like this because of the eggplant, but I really liked it." And what do you think her response usually is?
a) "Thanks, glad you hear you liked it," or
b) "FUCK YOU for not thinking you would like it. Why would you not think you would like it? You should know ahead of time that you will like it. I'm never making it again, prick."
"But honey, I grew up not liking eggplant, and no one around me growing up liked eggplant, so..."
"TOUGH SHIT, jackass. You should have known that some day you might be presented with the chance to eat eggplant, and you should have gotten your head right THEN."
"Don't I get any credit for trying it even when I didn't think I would like it, and then for liking it?"
"NO. The time to decide you liked it was BEFORE you tried it. Anyone can like it AFTER they try it. It's eggplant. It's fucking delicious. You're sleeping on the couch."
Your wife sounds like mine. Is she hispanic?
cannot pronounce his name he must be good and I want him
Two potential nicknames:
The cliche Super Mario
or
OJ- Mario Ojemudia kills when he is on the field, would be ironic if he wore gloves that didn't fit!
it would not be ironic, it would be appropriate to his nickname. from the dictionary:
"The essential feature of irony is the indirect presentation of a contradiction"
how many people confuse irony for coincidence.
Is that ironic?
just really annoying
You could also just learn how to pronounce his name
He also could be talking about studying for his exam, which he's been putting off for several hours and now kind of needs to buckle down and do.
It's Twitter, man. Twitter's Razor: The most innane explanation is probably the correct one.
Uh huh ..lets see you explain that one Mr Smarty Pants
I really hope we land this guy. I always love to see Harrison folks go blue, and commitments from 2+ of their 3 'star' players would be great for recruiting there in the future. Listen to Devin Mario!
Getting 2 of 3 would be great especially since sparty thought that they would get all 3.
and getting close to a full class is going to make for a quiet summer. Good problem to have.
To give all of our attention to guys like Noah Spence...
It'll help us land a couple of 5*s, no doubt.
a cry for help
Sources on Rivals ITF message board are saying Mario is "a done deal" for blue FWIW.
Isnt that source just one random poster on the board?
Chris Balas agreed on the source. Take it FWIW.
Nice. I did not see that, just the random poster. CB normally has pretty good info.
Maybe I was looking in a different thread there. But the one that I saw saying it was a Done Deal just said that Chris would confirm it. But I haven't seen Chris post in that topic and agree or back anything up.
I'm looking on Rivals now, and Balas hasn't posted a word about Ojemudia in the past 2 days. Where do you see this?
It's a thread called "keep it here."
It's also in an ITF: Extra.
I don't have the long form certificate.
The ITF Extra says no such thing, and the search reveals no thread called "keep it here."
It is on page 6 right now. It is titled "Keep it here..."
There is a ITF: Extra as well written by Helmholdt that says Mario has Michigan #1.
I am wondering if you honestly believe I am making all of this up. Pretty specific for a ruse don't you think?
The ITF thread doesn't say Michigan is #1. It says the Ojemudia said he'll commit "soon", and Michigan is a leader.
I now see the thread you're referring to, but I see NO reply from Balas.
So what on earth are you talking about?
Does #1 and "leader" not mean the same thing?
Also, have you read through the comments?
There is a comment that says Balas can confirm the source.
You're skewing their words, dude. Saying that Ojemudia MAY favor Michigan because of Funchess isn't the same as announcing that he's a done deal.
Further, a guy saying "Balas can confirm the source" is NOT the same as Balas actually confirming the source, unless you have no reading comprehension whatsoever.
If you read through this thread, you, single-handedly, have given everyone, including Tom, the impression that Rivals is blabbing Ojemudia's private business, which just isn't the case.
Why can't you just admit that?
I think you may have some personal issue with me that you need to come to terms with.
The ITF: Extra says that Ojemudia has Michigan as his leader.
The post "Keep it here..." says that Ojemudia is a done deal for Michigan and that Chris Balas can confrim the sources from the original poster.
I am certain that is what I wrote here. Just trying to relay the information I got from Rivals. I will admit to doing just that for people here who don't have a Rivals page. I am sure that is appreciated by most here. Sorry you have some tension built up in the shoulders about my commenting here, but maybe you should take a few minutes to cool off. Funny it was you who called me Holden Caulfield at one point.
I have no problem with you.
But this, which you wrote, is patently false:
"Chris Balas agreed on the source. Take it FWIW."
The original poster did write that and that is what I wrote here.
I can read. You wrote that I couldn't, which is patently false.
Then you can't understand. A Rivals poster saying "Balas can confirm my source" is not the same as Balas confirming the source.
Which is what you wrote.
Why can't you understand that?
FWIW, I'm not the one down-voting you.
Please edit your comment about me not being able to read. It is patently false. That is what we're arguing about here, correct? I really can't tolerate when things are written wrong and turn out to be patently false. It makes me go on a commenting tirade and then write things that are patently false about other commenters. It's my nature. I'm insane.
Also Hemholdt obviously agreed on the source or he wouldn't have written an ITF: Extra about it. Think about it.
Why don't you address my question rather than writing an entire paragraph to mock me.
You read a guy saying "Balas can confirm my source", and then wrote "Balas confirmed the source." Those aren't the same.
The ITF post of Helmholdt's doesn't source anything - it speculates that Funchess has swayed him.
Please do me a personal favor and don't respond to anything I write here. I was trying to relay info I got from Rivals and you make me look like some sort of asshole for doing so and then claim I am unable to read. If you have some personal hatred of me for whatever reason then please put a cap on it and don't bring it up again. I never respond to your comments. Please do the same for mine. You have attempted to drive me away form this site in the past and now after I have been gone for months and post a one liner about how rivals agreed with the original post here you have something to write about how I am stupid and can't understand and can't read. My bad, man. I was trying to relay info about Michigan football I saw on Rivals pay site and relay it to the readers here in my own words like Brian has asked us to do. My bad, man. You're right. You should feel proud.
I've never done a thing with the intent of driving you off. If you think I have, then you have a bit of a persecution complex. Disagreeing with you, or thinking your wrong is something that will happen from time to time. You're free to keep commenting here - if you say something that looks simply wrong, or something I really disagree with, I'm going to respong, that's the nature of this place. Sorry.
I first replied to you merely because I suscribe to Rivals, and didn't see the Balas confirmation you spoke of - and I wanted to find where it was. Upon asking you about it, it became that it didn't exist.
Like I wrote before: please don't respond to anything I write here ever again and furthermore try not to personally attack me in the process. Thanks.
Butts.
what the significance of your avatar is?
but i would also like to say "butts"
