Could be. Pipkins is a beast

Yeah, I love Pipkins. Love his character off the field too. Looking forward to seeing him play.

Still hard to understand why they passed up on a talent like Schutt that wanted to come to UM and OSU wasn't even in the discussion. Then he ends up there. :mad:

Diamond sounds like he likes Auburn a lot. :( He is set to announce Friday.

Well, they said months ago that the bulk was done, and anything else would be icing on the cake. I guess this must be the icing!

I thought you were almost positive that Auburn is out of the running for Diamond and that UM and Arkansas are the remaining two?

You mean Diamond? That was the case. Now he says Auburn is back in. I don't know dude. People can only report what the kids say.

To me it sure seems like Diamond loves the recruiting "game", I think he is a heck of a talent but I do find it strange that our staff would just stop recruiting him immediately after his visit given how weak our o-line is.

Yes, I meant Diamond. Too many "D"s. My bad.

BTW, to those that keep holding out hope for Diggs, it's not him. Word out of Good Counsel has him delaying things & taking another visit

Danny O'Brien on why he didn't choose Michigan.
Why not U-M? "I liked coach (Brady) Hoke a lot, too. He turned things around there. I just don't like Ann Arbor. It's a little too liberal for me."
LOL

Wonder if Ann Arbor being the 6th most "gayest" city has anything to do with it?!?! >> http://inamerica.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/09/whats-the-gayest-u-s-city-not-necessarily-the-most-gay-friendly/?hpt=hp_c2

So sour about this right now haha. He was a UC commit until late last night. We recruited him as a RB, but he wants to play DB in college, says he likes to hit people. I guess its Karma for Caleb Stacey Flipping from UM to UC.

He won't be a DB at Michigan. He wanted to go to Michigan but didn't get the offer until last night. Hard to blame the kid for switching and it does suck for UC.

Kozan is still deciding but now leaning towards Auburn. And Payton has decommitted yet again and will go to UCLA (3rd decommit, 4th school)?

Why bother committing days before and then changing?

Diamond is, in fact, off to Auburn
