Oliver Martin update

[Hawknigh]

Harbaugh is putting on quite a show on Twitter in Iowa City

I see two posts of an old guy who apparently had some sort of accident with Harbaugh as a kid. Is there more?

With Harbaugh, you gotta assume this means a sleep over, right?

Why are we still bothering with tracking Martin? There's such a small probability of him coming to Iowa that it might as well be impossible. He's got Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Iowa attention. One of those is not like the others.

Sure it was one heck of a clown show.

He hasn't taken an official to Michigan or OSU. I don't see him going to either of those schools. I like it comes down to Notre Dame, MSU and Iowa. I think where he goes is anybody's guess.

 

[ohhawk]

Sounds like ND is now scheduled to visit him again. Guess diminished returns only applies in economics.

 

[David79]

The real question is, will he ever make a decision? he will probably still be mulling things over next fall.

Looks like young Ollie will be doing his official to Michigan this weekend

Martin is a very close-to-the-vest kid whose recruitment has been silent. But a trusted source added some good information regarding his visit. The source said it “wouldn’t be surprising” if Martin commits Saturday night or Sunday morning. That commitment likely still won’t go public until signing day, but there is a good chance he informs the staff of his intentions to commit to the Wolverines before heading back to Iowa City.

The source added that Martin seems to be enjoying everything about Michigan during this visit. One thing that stood out a lot to Martin? Coach Jim Harbaugh’s plans to practice in Rome over spring break. That plan, which has turned the SEC and NCAA on its heads, apparently is helping in recruiting already.

As for now, Land of 10 sees Michigan’s chances with Martin soaring because of this visit, but a formal announcement isn’t expected from Martin until Wednesday.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, though, this one is Michigan’s to lose.

Sounding like there is some smoke around Oliver committing to Michigan over the weekend, but won't be made official til signing day. Hopefully that is wrong, guess we will know in a couple days.

Wonder what Iowa is going to do with ISM and now Martin going elsewhere. They need WR bodies and they only have Cooper, Smith and Marchese coming in so far.

Notre Dame is a Catholic university, the others are not. That must be what you meant.

So Michigan already has Donovan peoples jones and Tarik Black coming in the class of 17. They are also trending for Nico Collins, who is another blue chip 4 star WR. Does this effect their recruitment of Oliver at all? Nico Collins is expected to commit on NSD so we will see.

[BILLYBOBSTEXAS]

I believe ISM committed to the Gophers

 

[RobHowe]

Michigan likes OM as a slot receiver. Collins is an outside guy as are the other commits.

It sucks that Michigan kinds disappeared for awhile and seemed out of it. Then they show back up and still get him apparently? In my opinion that means that it didn't matter when Iowa offered. If you're the kind of person who gets offended by a late offer, you sure as hell would be offended by a team backing off that late just to come back.

This x 10000. He is just using that as an excuse to not be pinned the bad guy for wanting to go away from his hometown. And I'm not saying that to be critical of him at all. Michigan seems to be a trending upward and we are at best staying neutral. Their offensive system shows that they feature wide receivers more than what we have done in the past 5 years and now Iowa has an unknown commodity at OC. It makes sense to me why he would leave. Good luck to you, sir

Did he commit already or something?

 

[Stanzi]

Notre Dame is a Catholic university, the others are not. That must be what you meant.

That and Notre Dame didn't make a bowl game this past season. Michigan, Ohio State and Iowa are better programs it really isn't even debatable.

 

[eveningnewsteam]

No

 

[thetrza]

If he secretly committed that means we can be extra sneaky and secretly stealthily flip his commitment without Michigan or Notre Dame ever knowing what hit them on signing day......
