Michigan Tuesday: Flip and Commit Season

Alert: National Signing Day Extravaganza! 

Tomorrow is the biggest day of the year at the Big House Blog.  I will be updating the LOI's that arrive at Schembechler Hall.  Will there be a surprise commit?  I was very happy when Dax Hill signed his Michigan LOI instead of Alabama's.  Come in early and hit that refresh button!  

Nebraska picked up the #1 recruit in the nation when QB Dylan Raiola flipped from OSU to Georgia to now Nebraska.  Dylan's father was a Cornhusker and his Uncle is an assistant coach.  When your trying to rebuild a program the wins off the field are almost more important then the wins on (in the first couple of years).

Former Detroit 5-star QB Dante Moore has picked his new destination, as he is heading to Oregon.  Which also got the #1 transfer QB in former UCF and Oklahoma QB Dylan Gabriel.  I assume Dante is planning to take over in two seasons.  I don't believe Michigan was ever a factor in this recruitment.

Former 5-Star CB Domani Jackson who picked USC over Michigan and Alabama is in the transfer portal.  Domani and Will are good friends.  

  • RIP to former UNC Center Eric Montross 
  • Cam Cheeseman tried to change his snapping motion and struggled this year which got him cut yesterday
  • Will USC have any QB's for the Holiday Bowl?
  • Anonymous coaches from the Big Ten and SEC believe Michigan will struggle vs. Alabama.  For some reason these coaches remind me of this cartoon:

I love the Bighouseblog coverage of National Signing day! No need to go anywhere else. And yes, there is always a surprise commit.

Dante must feel he needs to collect that bag money now because he won't be collecting it in the NFL. That's ok. I enjoyed hate watching him throw pick after pick at UCLA and will continue to hate watch him at the University of Nike. (I always thought he was a thug, anyways)

The media, coaches, pretty much everybody, has been wrong about Michigan for the last 3 years. Don't know why anyone would put any stock in to what they have to say. All rhetoric and nothing but hate most of the time. I don't waste my time listening to them when myself and close friends know more than any talking head with an agenda on ESPN.

Picked up a 'Michigan Vs Everybody' T-shirt at Dick's Sporting goods. ($45 for a $20 shirt. Ouch!)

That’s fine but here’s a suggestion for the media who solicited these anonymous forecasts; when the game is over go back to each one and ask them how they got it wrong.

Rudy- That would be awesome! Nothing like publicly shaming themselves on their own. Lol
