Long Schedules In-Home with Michigan after OV to UW

[AEB]

Having the last official visit is just as important if not more that the last in-home imo. He last visited Michigan back in October and it would be easy for Long to cancel the in-home with Harbaugh after he gets back from Seattle. We just need Petersen and Lake to lock it up in Seattle. If he was really all about Michigan why would he even take his official to Washington? He's already been up to Seattle multiple times, there is no reason to take an official if his mind is set on Ann Arbor.

Michigan has no commits from the west coast, they're all east coast guys and a few sprinkled in from the midwest. They do only have one corner committed so far out of 22 commits. I feel its an intriguing option for a kid from LA but when it comes down it to he'll end up at UW. Hard to argue with the track record of putting cornerbacks in the NFL recently and I think when it comes down to it he's more comfortable with the players/coaches at UW. The staff seems to have a good relationship with Loyola, which is arguably the top private high school in the city of Los Angeles. But what do I know.

Why do hate Harvard-Westlake?

Los Angeles Loyola DB David Long said #Michigan will have last say before he makes his decison. In-home with UM after official to Washington— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) January 4, 2016

Not great news. Obviously liked the set-up of Long visiting and then going out of the country. Not exactly unexpected though.

Shit. Are you kidding me? Fuck this kid. Lets UW roll out the red carpet on an OV, only to have michigan waiting for him when he gets home - what a douchey thing to do.

This post has all the structure and tone of whoosh bait. But then I saw who posted it and can.believe.is.serious

Apparently Pete will actually have the last in home on Wednesday, with Harbaugh having one on Monday. Long will announce his decision on Thursday.

That means something. But he liked a michigan fan boys tweets?!?! We're fucked.

I think he really likes Michigan but in the end he'll stick with the coaches he feels most comfortable with, Petersen and Lake.

Yes, it's all because he liked one tweet.

He's liked 100s of Michigan tweets in the past month and very few UW ones. He's followed Michigan players and commits in the past month. He is posting pictures on social media of Michigan stuff while on a visit to UW.

This is not hard to figure out.

Michigan fans have been tweeting at him non stop the past month, he's bound to like some of them. I just think its naive to to think he's going somewhere based solely on social media.

Sure he followed some Michigan recruits but he also hung out with Sidney Jones and Budda Baker all weekend. He saved his last in home with Petersen. Knows he can play early. That means nothing?? He gets along with the current UW players, coaches. I don't see why its crazy to think he's going to choose UW.

Last official visit: UW
Last in-home visit: Chris Petersen, UW

Means nothing.

He followed another recruit he met at the All American game on TWITTER. He liked some Michigan tweets. He's going to Michigan FOR SURE.

I don't understand the logic. But it's not cool to believe that UW actually has a competent coaching staff that can pull in talent.

Long just followed Budda on Twitter!!!!!!!! #breakingnews

Take off your purple tinted glasses for a second.

Long is obviously infatuated with Michigan. All his actions and tweets and interviews at the Army game and since then through this visit make that clear.

Now this wouldn't necessarily be an obstacle since most recruits at the end sit down with a pro/con list and try to look at things objectively.

However Michigan is a better school, a better football team, and is manned by a better head coach.

So we are fucked unless he decides its just too far.

Also look at the recruiting "analysts." Sam Webb said UM had two silent commits at the Army game. He later said Dallas Crawford was not one. There weren't that many other uncommitted prospects that UM was doing well for.

Then Webb said his gut feeling was Long to UM. This is code. He never cites the gut unless the kid directly tells him he is going to commit and Sam feels very confident about it.

He gone.

Washington and michigan are both listed among the top public schools in the United States. michigan a few spots higher, admittedly.

michigan's DB coach is not better than Jimmy Lake, and Lake has the All Conference DBs to prove it. Harbaugh may be able to turn around a program quicker than Petersen, but he ain't Nick Saban and Petersen ain't ty willingham.

michigan may have a better record this year, but they aren't that much better.

In short, not as clear cut as you think.

I'm not saying that it's not Michigan. I honestly have no idea where the kid is going. I have no idea who Sam Webb is. My main issue with the case for Long to Michigan is using the fact that he's been liking Michigan fan tweets as a pillar to the argument that he's a lock to Michigan. It's pressing.

UW feels like the underdog in this battle and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he ends up going with Michigan. But to deny that UW has a legitimate shot because his social media says Michigan is stupid. You can spin the social media stuff anyway you want. His most recent follows on Instagram include Jo Jo Mathis, Marcus Peters, Eifler, Gardnehire and Sidney Jones. Does that mean Michigan is out of it? No.

I'm more interested in how many times has Long visited Ann Arbor? Which coaches are recruiting him for Michigan besides Harbaugh? Who besides Dylan Crawford are really pushing for him to join Michigan? I know he's visited Washington multiple times. He was just there. UW was the runner up when he committed to Stanford. He has a great relationship with Lake and Pete.

These kids are native to social media. It's all they know. So it's hard for us to analyze it through our eyes because we're a different generation. He would be a nice addition to the class but Michigan might be too appealing. It is Ann Arbor though and it seems like more often than not if kids from LA decide to leave the next they usually end up in the PAC12.

And it's not about being right or wrong. We all want him to UW. I just feel we've got more of a shot than others do I guess. We'll know on Thursday.

We know right now. He gone.

The fact that you ever thought this was just about twitter likes and follows is pressing.

We were runner up to Stanford and now we are runner up to Michigan. He doesn't love us we are a back up that he is comfortable with if he can't find someone else. He found someone else. It's over.

That's cool but you never answered any of my questions as to why he's a lock to Michigan. But you seem to know your stuff so I doubt it matters. It's Michigan. Go Blue.

Twitter is a good indicator just like it was for McKinley.
