I just mean in years past and now, Iowa has gotten some good talent from Detroit. Their best player now is from there too (Desmond King). Quote Link to comment

I just mean in years past and now, Iowa has gotten some good talent from Detroit. Their best player now is from there too (Desmond King). I don't think that it means as much anymore in Michigan. I posted in the 2016 class ranking page that out of 60+ commits between Michigan, MSU, and OSU, they have only like 15 commits and Michigan itself has zero of them. Quote Link to comment

You don't think it matters if your best friend from the same HS goes somewhere? Or if you see that people from your area are having success at that certain school? Quote Link to comment

He said he doesn't think the University of Michigan has much pull in the state of Michigan these days, backed by numbers provided in a related thread. Read a little bit more closely next time - that said, his comment didn't make much sense in the context of discussing Iowa lol. Quote Link to comment

I meant that it probably doesn't mean much to "have a hand" in Detroit as a whole. Not necessarily pertaining to Jackson. To me it seems like Michigan players are pretty open to going where ever.

StPaulHusker Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I think I want to see Jackson commit even more now so that the 2016 class has an entire OL represented. Brokop and Rairdon at G Wilson at C Farniok and Jackson at T That would definitely go a long way to restoring the pipeline. 1 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Any idea if he is still visiting tomorrow or not? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 I haven't seen anywhere that it's a definite no but it sure didn't sound like he was that excited about it in his interviews earlier this week. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I thought I saw where he canceled the trip but the staff was still working to maybe get him here....but I could be wrong on that. Question, if we have only 4 more spots and we somehow would get this kid, which one of these would you turn away? Fitzpatrick, Lamar Jackson, Simmons, Allen Quote Link to comment

Back count one of the early enrollees then figure out the scholly count by fall camp. Quote Link to comment

I don't think we have the ability to back count any early enrollees and new Big Ten rules make you have to have the numbers figured out by signing day. This already has us over signing by 3.

Mavric Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah, unless someone else is no longer on the team that hasn't been announced, we can only take four more guys. Back-counting won't help. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Or, I guess, it's possible they could not renew one of the walk-ons that got a scholarship last year. But I'm not sure how that works as far as timing goes - would they have to have been taken off before this semester started? Quote Link to comment
