Chat the Day.

Two things I learned from the Ford Field regional semis on Friday:

Stephen Curry (left) is really good. 33 total points with 22 in the second half against a Wisconsin team that tried to dominate him defensively. He gave an inspired performance that left the crowd in awe.

Curry stole the show on Friday, I think he stole my camera as well.





People at Ford Field are stupid. The design for the court was puzzling to say the least. One riser stuck out way farther then another and the court wasn't even close to centered on the field. Not to mention that 3 players almost flew off the 3 foot stage that the court sat on.






Quick Hits:

Pistons.

LeBron James was in attendance for the regional at Ford Field, and was boo'd excessively when showed on the television broadcast. He eventually was escorted out.

Little did he know, that was the best basketball he'd see all weekend.

The Pistons spanked the Cavs last night at the Palace. The Cavs didn't even show up, LeBron got a technical, and that was that. Really not much came out of this game, except Ben Wallace, who came out of the game when his back spasms started up again.


Tigers.

Season starts up on Monday, or atleast I hope. (Weather). Forecast: Moisture.


Lions.

Signed more guys I haven't (or anyone) has heard of. At least they aren't former Bucs.

Wings.

D-Mac is back and the boys are starting to get healthy. Franzen decided to start scoring like Gretzky.



Big Blue Recruiting:

Two commitments, Cass Tech running back Teric Jones and Ohio defensive back Justin Turner. Jones was the fastest player at the Junior combine in San Antonio,and Turner is one of the top 50 players in the country according to Rivals.com. Jones could end up being a high 3-star or low 4 star while Turner is already a legit four-star.

Rumors of another commitment. Its premium information so all I'll say is Bryce Bryce Baby.

Michigan Hockey:

Frozen Four bound. After beating Clarkson 2-0, the Wolverines head to Colorado to face the Golden Domers of Notre Dame.

Old Guy: Pryor drops Michigan

According to some old guy who reports for The Capital Times (In Wisconsin), Terrelle Pryor has dropped Michigan.

Not only does this fool (Who goes by the name of one Phil Fritz) not have any idea of recruiting, but also decides to file reports with no quotes from anyone close to the situation.

This guy decides to not only bash Michigan, but bash them with possibly the worst information ever. Apparently, the news of the Shredgate incident have just reached Madison.

Of course you may be saying "BUT MADISON, WISCONSIN IS THE CENTER OF THE RECRUITING UNIVERSE!"

Not so much.

Here's to you, Mr. Phil Fritz. May your articles be faulty, your sources be wrong, and your job be eliminated.

Signing Day Wrap-Up

It may not have been the day of Terrelle Pryor, but this last Tuesday was not a bad day for the University of Michigan.



Total, the University received twenty-three signed letters of intent.

One of the latest pick ups was previously-Florida commitment Ricky Barnum. Rivals.com lists Barnum as the fifth-ranked center in the country, and a four star recruit overall. This was just one of many steals that Rich Rodriguez engineered--including wide-receiver Roy Roundtree from Purdue and athlete Michael Shaw from Penn State.







Another rarity occurred for Michigan this Signing Day. One high school, Trotwood-Madison High in Ohio, gave Michigan three signees.


These signees include three Four-Star recruits according to Rivals.com, including Michael Shaw, Brandon Moore, and Roy Roundtree.



GO RAMS!


Finally, one leaper of great leaps Sam I Am McGuffie decided to visit Cal, and he delayed his signing until late in the evening. Maybe he wanted a free vacation, or maybe he wanted to get some tail, but its worth note that he did visit--showing some looseness in his love for the Maize and Blue
