Although he said he would not rush to a decision, Tate Forcier did commit to Michigan during his visit this weekend.
After meeting with Coach Rich Rodriguez yesterday morning, Forcier said he '"got that feeling" and did not want to second-guess himself. He walked into Rodriguez's office and gave him the verbal commitment face-to-face.
After watching this weekend's game, it is safe to say Forcier can see himself competing for and winning the starting job as a freshman. Not to say either QB played that poorly, however neither Sheridan nor Threet displayed the true ability to lead this Michigan team and be able to run the new offense during their home loss to Utah.

Forcier has not commented on canceling any future visits he has planned like Penn State next week. Hopefully, the Penn State coaches will not give up and will continue to recruit him.
As we saw with Kevin Newsome, who de-committed from Michigan last month, these kids do have changes of heart, and it is important not to end the recruitment process until signing day in February.

I hate to say it but I told you so.

A fantastic pickup for the wolverines. Hopefully he'll stick with his commit and come help the team next year.

These kids are young, if Michigan has a down season, there is always the chance he will change his mind, maybe Penn St. will woo him.
It is the first game of the season, I see Threet proving himself as the starter in the next few games.

Forcier won't change his mind. read my article and you will read some of his comments after he made the commitment, he will stick with UofM.

great pickup for Michigan.
I doubt a down season would be cause for him changing his mind. Sure didn't hurt Notre Dame's last class.
saying he'll win the starting job as a freshman though is going a bit far. Its a long season we'll see if Threet or Sheridan can become a solid QB.
Even if neither one can become the man to lead that offense, Tate will still have to compete with Beaver for the starting job.

If we saw anything from Saturday's game, U-M needs a quarterback for RichRod's system. It will be interesting to see if this is the guy. Good stuff.
