We're building some nice depth and competition at this position.

Interesting article re: comparison to Russell Wilson...IF that were true, we'd have a heck of a find...My 1st reaction was a possible switch to WR or DB, but who knows? We've got a 6'2" QB commit for this year; another reason why I was doubful he'd stay at QB.

A couple of sites no longer show him as "with us". His protected twitter feed has a cover pic of Bucky Badger

If that's indeed true, we seem to be losing kids we had been counting over several months... guess the draw of "big name" schools might be too much for these kids to deal with, despite the fact that they'll have a better shot at PT with a MAC school..
That said, if he only wants to be a QB, with another QB commit coming in already, he may feel that he wouldn't get much of a shot here. And if he is indeed being compared to Russell Wilson, just remember where Wilson finished his college career.

A lot of questions about this guy anyway. He choked against Seaholm and I don't know why or how he got from Lansing to Southfield. Pocket Rockets should be all over him!!!

Interestingly enough...he hasn't committed to anyone else. Would he even be in the mix here after our coaching change?

That's a great point...he might have missed the boat. Babers has been a recruiting coordinator in the states of Texas and California. Ohio is important but he' should really be able to expand our reach into new areas that are among the most fertile in the country.
