No idea on his skills or character but Pogue Mahone works for me as a football name. Means kiss my arse in Ireland.

I fear Diamond going to Wisconsin. They're known for their O-linemen and it's closer to home (Chicago).

What was the name of the 6' 9" OT who really wanted to play baskeball wherever he goes?

[Rocky Bleier]

Zach Banner

[WM Wolverine]

Zach Banner probably belongs on the recruiting board but he's a long ways from a decision and when he's closer to an official visit to M (he sounds very interested in taking an official here already), he'll make the board. There are other OL/WR's in the same boat that'll get added to the recruiting board when they setup official visits.

Commit watch for Magnusson.

mgoblog boards say: Tom Strobel (DE OH) has committed to Michigan.

[Jamie H]

That would be a big pickup. His post-visit interview indicated that he wasn't interested in playing somewhere that the coach was changing a bunch. Tressel resigning may have pushed him over the edge.

Confirmed by Tom VH of mgoblog. Get the young man a winged helmet!

"I have been very blessed with the opportunity to visit and meet with many elite colleges, but I genuinely feel that Michigan will provide me with both the best academic and athletic college experience possible," Strobel said. "Like most people in Ohio, I was raised with a biased opinion against Michigan. However, it occurred to me that there was no justification for my prejudice, besides the fact that it was Michigan. I think it says something that despite my apprehension, Michigan still stood out above the rest. I am confident that I have made the right decision for my future, and I look forward to beginning my college career as a Wolverine."

Bring on ohio's sons.

Liney ..... can I start using a modification of your verbal avatar? ...... It's over buckeyes.

[WM Wolverine]

Another guy with ND, Ohio, MSU offers. Need to beat your rivals for recruits.

[WM Wolverine]

Magnuson rumors picking up, waiting for confirmation.

[WM Wolverine]

Confirmed, HUGE pickup at OL. OT situation is getting better.

[Jamie H]

Apparently Hoke recruited (and offered) Magnuson at SDSU as well. Another nice pick up!

I never thought Hoke would be recruiting like this. Damn.
