Spring Game Visitors
Well, it's that time of year again: the spring game.
Michigan will have a nationally televised spring game tomorrow, and a decent group of recruits is expected to be in town for the event (LINK).
Some of the highlight players are 2025 WR Derek Meadows (a top-100 player), 2026 RB Savion Hiter (the #1 RB in his class), and a borderline 5-star DL in the 2025 class in Nathaniel Marshall (#33 in the 247 Composite).
Also, some younger brothers of Michigan players will be in attendance, such as 2025 WR Quinn Morris (brother of Tyler) and 2026 ATH Luke Wafle (brother of Owen).

Savion Hiter for this year’s “you 30 bro” award. Also for the “be VERY careful typing his name” award

Mack Sutter is 13

Beat me to it. I saw the name of the 3rd worst person ever award, and had to re-read. Auto spell changer is going to get people banned from many message boards i think.
Who's 1 and 2 on your worst person ever list?
I feel like this would make a good first date question.
Pol Pot then Stalin.
You're kidding, right? I mean, they were both pretty horrible, but worse than Hitler?
There are 4 horrifically evil individuals that were actually able to separate themselves above the others..
Of course, Hitler.
Mao is responsible for killing 40 to 100 million of his own people and encouraged horrific public torture. (It is hard to know how many of their people totalitarian governments killed because they are in complete control of all communication and record keeping.) There is some evidence that he enjoyed watching torture and may even have designed new torture methods.
Stalin is probably responsible for the deaths of 6 to 40 million people in Russian. (See comments in Mao regarding the difficulty of obtaining accurate estimates involving totalitarian governments). Many more in Eastern Europe.
Pol Pot can't match the raw numbers of the other top 4 but earns his place by the percentage he achieved. After taking power he ordered about about a quarter (possibly more) of Cambodia's population to be taken and killed. Many were also tortured and raped.
If we are going to include percentages, then Ante Pavelić and the NDH are probably just right behind Pol Pot.
I guess I'd consider Hitler more evil than Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot because he tried to destroy an entire group (i.e., genocide). And he damn near succeeded, killing 2/3 of the prewar Jewish population. Not because he saw them as a threat to his power, but because he considered them inferior. That's just me, though. 🤷♂️
Edit: Sorry. I don't want to derail this thread and won't add any further comments. Thanks, Magnus, for posting it. I always appreciate these updates.
Edit 2: Sorry, I realized I was a bit bitchy in the 1st paragraph, so I edited it.

Now that I look at my post I see that it wasn't worded very well. I was mostly agreeing with you but thought Mao deserved a mention.
Sorry, double click.
Better than Tom Raper of Tom Raper RVs
Fun fact! Canola Oil gets its name from the phrase “Canada Oil, Low Acid”
Sounds a lot better than RAPESEED oil
I always cringe when I'm driving I-70 in Indiana and see the Tom Raper RV billboards.
Hiter doing a blitzkrieg on the magin-- I mean Ohio State line
I wish I could up vote you 9988673 times
And if he comes to Michigan, be VERY careful with the "Hail"
Holy shit.
Tomorrow is the 135th anniversary of Hitler’s birth.😬
I wonder what country he is hiding in
MSU wants him more than any recruit ever
If you know you know....
Really hope we can get a commit or two this weekend and start building some momentum
After the offense we have had the past few years, such as running ball 31 or 32 straight times vs PSU, one would think the top rbs would want to play here. Let's hope it's the start of it.
Savion Hiter…..whooo boy on the list of last names to have, that’s a toughie.
Not his fault of course. I’m sure he’s a great kid. But still, one letter away form just being the full on worst name ever conceived in human history.
There was an American named “Gay Hitler”. He died some years back.
Aids or cyanide?
Too soon?
Anyone remember the narcoleptic comedian from Hill Street Blues?
Is he a savior or a hitter?
As a RB, I guess he could be both with either a long run for a winning TD or a goal line stand.

2025 WR Derek Meadows (a top-100 player)
Hello son would you care to graduate early and roll this second? You could be on the 2 deep for this spring game if you say yes
I don't usually pay attention to recruits visiting for the spring game, but that list seems really small? I hope there are more that are not listed.
My guy Magnus listed 28 names at the link.
Thanks. Love the list!
Excellent. Many thanks Magnus.
