Oliver Martin update

What signs? A Michigan blogger homer?

Many people whose job it is to predict these things are leaning to Michigan, although that was before their recent pick up of another guy. So maybe they pull it, I wouldn't be surprised by anything that harbaugh does

I think it is us or ND, I think Mich was just a free mini vaca.

Didn't Martin say that he wanted to make his announcement before signing day? Well? We're waiting?

I think this winds up like Karan Higdon situation a couple years ago, with some guy close to this kid doing some joyful write-up of the recruitment process and the "power of Michigan" on one of their fan blogs.

I could never "want" my kid to leave state.

Waco, hell I'd be on my way out too.

You'll keep waiting until Signing Day because, as much as Martin bemoans the process, he enjoys the attention too much to announce early. He and his dad are going to milk it for all its worth...

If he really does enjoy it, he's a lock for Iowa. He'll get this attention his whole career.

Holy crap. I posted this about 20 minutes before his announcement. Oh well. Hope it works out for him. Wish he had stayed in the state, but I can't blame him for taking this opportunity.

Say what you want about harbaugh but the guy thinks outSide of the box and gets results. Good luck Martin!

Sorry, but Harbaugh is a freaking tool of epic proportions. Brady Hoke got great recruiting classes at Michigan, it aint that hard there.

Don't question the signs, sir..

I don't like his whining on the sidelines but at the end of the day, football is a game. Games are meant to be fun. He looks like he actually has fun with the kids he is recruiting. I don't have any sour grapes here.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Yea and Arrington wasn't even an Iowa fan and was from Cedar Rapids. Martin grew up in Iowa City as an Iowa fan. It would sting a lot more.

It stings, for those 2 reasons. F'n Harbaugh.

Be a damn shame to grow up a Hawkeye fan and never get to experience winning a game in Kinnick...right Jim?

Not just wrong . . . snarky wrong.

You aren't new to here. Do you really think this "decision drama" will end Wednesday if he picks another school besides Iowa? Sure his decision will be over, but there is a segment of this board that would never let that be forgotten or "be over".

Good point. I stand corrected.

 

[StanzisLettuce]

Anyone who thinks this drama with Martin will be over on this board after Wednesday obviously doesn't remember our good friend Alex Kozan and the weeks of complaining that happened a few years ago.
