OH LB/TE Michael Ferns (Michigan signee; transfer to WVU)

[OH10]

I would taken Ferns in a second. No doubt. He is going to be a stud. Having said that, I am all in on Garrett-McMillan-Booker for 2014.

This.

Then, just feet short of the goal line, Ferns slowed and walked out of bounds at the 1-yard line. Everyone in the stadium was stunned, except for Ferns' teammates, who instantly knew what he was doing: He was setting up a teammate to score a fitting touchdown in memory of his late father, who had died just two days earlier from a catastrophic stroke.

Pretty cool thing for Michael to do. I lost my Mom in July to a stroke so this one hits closer to home than usual for me.

He's way too good for Michigan

Just read about this on another site, very cool thing to do for a teammate. I'd never root for Michigan, but I'd root for this individual.

More on the story, including video. Sometimes high school kids do stupid things...other times they amaze you with their maturity.

Things have changed a lot since Ferns commitment to tSUN. The tSUN "mystique" of a rising program has burned off with the rising sun. There's a new sheriff in town who can roll the tape of the second half of THE GAME. And the new sheriff needs line backers.

While I agree with you and would love Ferns, I thought the feeling from this was Ferns preferred the "family like environment" that scUM was selling, versus the all business mentality at OSU. Nonetheless he'd be a huge get, there are a lot of big 2014 LB candidates.

Well, Michigan does seem like a "family" environment to me.

Love to see that we are keeping the pressure on. Even if Ferns sticks with scUM, I love that we are going to force Hoke to fight to keep any recruit we want from Ohio. Plus Ferns seems like a great kid and is a fantastic player, so obviously I would want him in the '14 class for that reason alone. If not, we are already set for a killer crop at LB with McMillan, Garrett, Booker, and Berger all looking very good for us.

Similar to when Fickell showed up at a wrestling meet for Dymonte. Staff doesn't care about the odds or even the perception. They're still going to put in the work and see if they can pull out a miracle.

Either that or they are making their presence further known to coaches across Ohio. Football factories will always love high profile coaches showing up on their doorstep.
