Here's a video with Chantel Jennings interviewing him and Derrick Walton. It sounds like Saan-tay to me.

Pretty funny kids. Thanks

so it looks like we're down to 4 targets for the 2013 class?

Reon Dawson CB will be announcing on wednesday

Cameron Hunt OL (no decision date set, will be after 2 more visits)

Durham Smythe TE (still to visit, no decision date set)

and

Derrick Green RB ( set to announce Jan 26th between Michigan, Auburn, or Tennessee)

I wonder if there are any surprises this year like there have been the last 2 years. Michigan is already at 25 commits, so we don't have room for all 4 or for too many surprises.

All i really care about here is Green, even though I've long stated that I don't believe he'll commit to Michigan considering their main competition. Green would finish off one helluva class.

Still disappointed in the WR recruiting. You'd think it would be better with superstar Shane Morris in the fold.

WR very much worries me. I believe Hoke and staff will work on that. They put all their efforts in the 2013 class on the OL and DL and they needed to based on the fact that under RR these positions were ignored.

I think there's more than meets the eye at wide out. Also remember we'll be going a lot of 2 te sets next year and to come.

Also Corey Holmes a 2014 top 250 Florida wideout is a lock.

Reon Dawson is BLUE

Green Decision Set

VA RB Derrick Green announced his decision date on Twitter yesterday—he'll reveal his choice on January 26th at 4:00 pm.

Green told Mike Farrell($) that he's down to three schools—Michigan, Auburn, and Tennessee—and he'll host all three for in-home visits this week as well as Florida State, which had been on the schedule before he eliminated them.

Michigan holds a decided edge heading into the home stretch—they are, of course, the stated leader, while Green is still getting familiar with the new coaching staffs at Auburn and Tennessee (this week's in-home will be his first time meeting the new Auburn coaches).

Four-star TX TE Durham Smythe considered Michigan earlier in the cycle before committing to Texas. Smythe decommitted last month, however, and is now considering the Wolverines with a visit on the horizon, per ESPN's Damon Sayles ($):

Smythe said [last weekend's Stanford] visit received a high score from him, but he still has two visits -- and a possible third -- before he makes a final decision. Smythe, who decommitted from Texas last month, said he will visit Oregon this weekend and Michigan the weekend of Jan. 25. Stanford, Oregon and Michigan are his top three schools, but Nebraska and Notre Dame also are in the mix.

We'll see if Michigan still has a spot in the class left by the time Smythe gets around to making a decision; if they do, he'd be a nice addition to the class. At 6'5", 230, he's a guy who could play with his hand in the dirt.

AND ....From Twitter:

“@BrOoKyLn_boii27: #MICHIGAN, coach Hoke just finished his in home visit with coach jackson!! Always great to be with them!!”


i've never worried about Green choosing M, I just wonder about the hype.

 

[michiganmicros313]

Getting Green and Smythe would be awesome. Nothing like a loaded TE corp like the Patriots have.

Does anyone on Wolverine Nation know who TomVH is talking about? A guy that's been a secret for what seems like months is about to open up his recruitment. I just can't seem to figure out who it could be. People in the thread seem to know but can't spill the beans. It's killing me. Thanks in advance.

someone that is committed to Michigan that might open up their recruitment or someone that is committed to some other school is thinking about opening up their recruitment and considering Michigan?

 

[Diggler Cometh]

Maybe a wideout like gladney or wheelwright?

Sorry, worded a little dumb. A recruit who's currently committed to another team that's looking to open up their recruitment. I guess there is mutual interest between both him and Michigan. Lots of Drake Harris rumors flying around. Not sure if it's him considering he just said he's interested in Ohio.

Ok thanks. I didn't know whether to be worried or excited

(well in the limited context that I get worried over these things anyway, you know what i mean, i hope)

 

[hungry]

i guess there's one more target

Colorado OL Dan Skipper (don't know when he is set to announce)

 

[TheVictors]

Yes, 'brooklyn boii' is his handle

 

[hungry]

Drake Harris has reopened his recruitment and is considering Michigan

per sources...

 

[hungry]

I guess Michigan has told Cameron Hunt that they are done with OL recruiting for 2013, which would mean that CO OL Dan Skipper is out, too

2 spots left

2 recruits on the board

Durham Smythe TE

Derrick Green RB

 

[TheVictors]

Harris will wind up in Ohio* and will be the next chapter in the Meijer v Dumbtonio battle...
