Greg Smith from Rivals.com joins the show and gives his thoughts on a number of recruits that are interested in Michigan.

Also, Jake Garcia a possible late quarterback add for UM?

The Sporting News took 11 different top 25 polls and averaged them out. Michigan is at #16.

Asked Greg Smith about what people are saying about UM vs NCAA:
“The chatter about this on social media verses the chatter in real life when I talk to people could not be more different. On social media every time some kid posts about Michigan it's like why go there sanctions are coming or you know the hammers coming down. When I talk to people in real life no one is talking about this. It just doesn't come up. It's really hard to even explain how little this comes up with people when you're talking out there."

Michigan @ OU - where y'all sitting?

We are looking at tickets for this game. We feel more confident in our daughter to be able to attend more crowded sporting venues. We went to the rodeo in FW a few weekends ago and she did great! If she can handle fireworks indoors and a 90% capacity indoor crowd, we feel pretty good about this game. She has been to SMU football & Stars (fortune to be in a suite) games but not as crowded.

Anyone sitting in the North end zone, like section 20 or 21? We are thinking we want to try and stay out of the sun as much as possible without sitting on the home side. Sun should set around 715-730 for most area. Any other thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

Go Blue!

Recruiting INTEL: Chase Geter

Login to view embedded media Recently offered 3-Star CB Chase Geter is set to take a Michigan Official Visit over Victors Weekend (June 20-22), his father Mike Geter tells me.

Mr. Geter also noted that the visit "could change if Chase closes his recruitment."

The Virginia-native is scheduled to take a Penn State OV this coming weekend.

Recruiting INTEL: Tank King

Login to view embedded media 4-star linebacker Tank King told me that even though he couldn't schedule an official visit with Michigan, his spring trip to Ann Arbor answered all his questions about the program. As a result, he stated the Wolverines are still at the top of his list, alongside Texas, Texas A&M, and Notre Dame, ahead of his July 4th commitment announcement.

While I believe Michigan did a strong job with King during his spring unofficial visit, I find it hard to see this recruitment not coming down to the Aggies and the Fighting Irish. Brian Jean-Mary has the program well-positioned to land commitments from several other linebacker targets this cycle, such as Kenneth Goodwin III, Calvin Thomas, and Nick Abrams II. Because of this, I think both parties here will likely look in other directions.
