Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Baylor apparently got a commitment from Scout's #12 running back, Brandon Williams.

To the Texas fans: is that Shipley's younger brother?

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Alabama just offered Saginaw(MI) WR DeAnthony Arnett. His offer list is now: Alabama, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, Oregon, Michigan State, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Purdue, Cincinatti, and Iowa. Pretty impressive list.

Also love this quote from him..

"I am not interested in playing for an offense that has a rinky-dink offense that is going to throw a bunch of five yard passes."






He's one to watch for Alabama since his HS coach was none other than Mark Ingram's coach at Flint. And Arnett has family in Alabama..

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Auburn has extended scholly offers to Columbus, GA RB Isaiah Crowell and San Antonio, TX RB Aaron Green. AU once again aiming for THE top backs in America, which is a welcome sign with this staff.

Crowell is in our backyard but I think Green could be a legit option with Luper's Texas connections.

Man, this stuff has literally become a year round affair.

Despite what he's saying publically, his recruitment is over if Michigan's passing game shows a pulse this year. He grew up a big UM fan.

Pretty crazy get for Baylor. Signing day is a year away. Hopefulu Baylor has a good season and can him. Another season without a bowl and I doubt he signs.

Nebraska is the team to beat for Green and UGA for Crowell.


Bama offered both but I doubt we're contenders for either.

The top 3 backs AU pursued last year (and was a heavy contender for all) were from Arkansas, Texas, and South Carolina.

I expect AU to be a player for these guys as well. Columbus is a big AU city as well (only 30 miles from campus). Should be interesting.

In regards to Green, I'm pretty sure his brother is a freshman DB for Nebraska.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

It's gonna be real tough for anyone to get Crowell from UGA, but I guess our coaches will give us the best opportunity possible.

Yup, knew about that. The family thing can be big...see Keenan Allen this year.

Green is a stud. He'll be heavily recruited by everyone.

You also have to add that they will jump up big time if they use Devin a lot (hopefully, they don't play Devin just to get DeAnthony).

They won't, it'll just be an added benefit.

(And for the record, I have said all along that Gardner is going to play. Won't start, but he brings things to the table that Tate doesn't.)

The main thing with Arnett as far as Michigan is concerned is: a) winning, and b) getting it to the wideouts more. Roundtree really came on the second half of last year, really clicked with Tate. That should continue. And if the OL improves the pass blocking, I bet Stonum has a big year as well. Outsiders assume RR wants the WRs to just be glorified blockers - couldn't be further from the truth.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Yeah, if Michigan gets back to winning, Arnett is probably going to A2, but if not I easily see him going out to the west coast for USC, Notre Dame, and if they can keep the winning up, Cincinatti.
