2013 Recruiting Wrap: The Offense
Eric Upchurch/MGoBlog
It is Signing Day 2013, and if you weren't aware, Michigan has a pretty, pretty good class. With this post—and its accompanying defense post (coming tomorrow)—I'll attempt to give you a solid overview of the class, its strengths and weaknesses, and hand out a few superlatives. Let's start with a look at the offensive class as a whole and their final rankings from the recruiting services—click on each player's name to see their commitment post:
|Shane Morris
|Derrick Green
|DeVeon Smith
|Wyatt Shallman
|Jaron Dukes
|Da'Mario Jones
|Csont'e York
|Patrick Kugler
|Kyle Bosch*
|David Dawson
|Chris Fox
|Logan Tuley-Tillman*
|Dan Samuelson
|Jake Butt*
|Khalid Hill
*Early enrollee
And now, some specifics:
BEST POSITION GROUP: Offensive Line.
Kyle Bosch
This offensive line class is arguably the best in the country, finding strength both in numbers (six) and quality (five of the six are consensus four-stars or above and made All-American teams). As Michigan continues to fill in the holes left by some disastrous offensive line recruiting under Rich Rodriguez, this couldn't have come at a better time.
Among the group, guard Kyle Bosch is the most likely to crack the two-deep early; he's on campus early and has college-ready size—Michigan lists him at 6'5", 311 lbs.—to go with a polished set of skills. He won't start right away (let's hope) but could factor in as a backup. Center Patrick Kugler—the son of longtime NFL OL coach and current UTEP head coach Sean Kugler—might be the best of the bunch, though. He'll hit campus as the most physically gifted Wolverine at the position, and while he shouldn't be forced to play right away, he should be a multi-year starter down the road.
Honorable Mention: Running Back, Quarterback.
BIGGEST WEAKNESS: No elite receiver
Yes, this class lacks a blue-chip wideout. Csont'e York and Jaron Dukes are both big targets who can go up and get the ball, while Da'Mario Jones could be a playmaker in the slot, but none are can't-miss prospects. This issue is mitigated somewhat by Michigan's strong recruiting at tight end—get a couple playmakers there and the pressure comes off the receivers in the passing game—but you'd still like to see a top-flight guy on the outside.
Honorable Mention: The only other issue with the offensive side of the class is the lack of a second quarterback for depth purposes, something the coaches decided wasn't necessary. Otherwise, every need was filled.
MOST LIKELY TO START FROM DAY ONE: Derrick Green
Not only is Green the top-ranked recruit in the class, but he comes in at a position of great uncertainty and, as of late, middling production. He's got the body of an NFL running back as a high school senior and is a perfect fit for Al Borges's ideal offense. It's unknown whether Fitz Toussaint will be ready to start the season after his ugly leg injury and his production was lacking in 2012 anyway; Thomas Rawls failed to impress in his stead. Green's toughest competition for the bulk of the carries may even come from fellow 2013 commit DeVeon Smith, arguably the best back in the state of Ohio. Either way, expect a freshman (or two) to make a big impact in the backfield next season.
Honorable Mention: DeVeon Smith, Jake Butt
SUREST THING: Patrick Kugler
Covered in part above, Kugler is as close as you'll get to a can't-miss offensive line recruit. At 6'5", 280 lbs. before setting foot on campus, he's got better size than any Michigan center of recent vintage. His father spent nine years coaching offensive line in the NFL, and Patrick's film makes it apparent that he's absorbed a lot of his father's teaching—from a technical standpoint, he's very advanced for his age. He participated in the Under Armour AA Game and held up very well against some of the best defensive linemen in the country.
Kugler's only competition at center right now is Jack Miller, who's been groomed to take over the position for a couple years but was too undersized to see the field as a redshirt freshman in 2012. Miller should step in and start in 2013—it's unrealistic to expect Kugler to have enough command of the offense to make the O-line calls after a few weeks on campus—but it's going to be hard to keep Kugler off the field in 2014 and beyond.
Honorable Mention: Derrick Green, Kyle Bosch
BOOM OR BUST: Logan Tuley-Tillman
Offensive lineman Logan Tuley-Tillman has the prototypical left tackle frame at 6'7", 307 pounds. He's also a relative newcomer to the game of football and spent his high school days overpowering opponents with sheer size and strength—as a result, he's got a long way to go from a technical standpoint. At last summer's Sound Mind Sound Body camp, Tuley-Tillman and David Dawson both got extensive work in with Michigan OL coach Darrell Funk—Funk used Dawson as an example for how to execute certain technical aspects of line play, then spent a good deal of time trying to get Tuley-Tillman to that level.
If Tuley-Tillman can put it all together, he's the future at left tackle and could even develop into an NFL prospect. With so much ground to cover, however, he could also get buried on the depth chart by more polished players. It should help that Tuley-Tillman is already on campus—with a redshirt year all but guaranteed, he'll have plenty of time to work on the fundamentals before worrying about seeing the field.
Honorable Mention: Shane Morris, Chris Fox
MGOSCOUTED STAMP OF APPROVAL: Jake Butt
Among the players I checked out last fall—on offense: Morris, Shallman, York, Dawson, Butt, and Hill—tight end Jake Butt really stood out with his performance on the field. Playing against cross-town rival Pickerington Central—featuring fellow Wolverine Taco Charlton—he hauled in nine catches for 93 yards and a TD while also making an impact at defensive end. Some of my impressions from that game:
Butt did a great job of snatching the ball away from his body and caught everything thrown his way. While he could be a little sharper out of his breaks, he runs crisp routes and positions his body well to give his quarterback a big target while warding off the defender. He was able to find space up the seam on multiple occasions but was also comfortable working on the perimeter, at one point catching back-to-back out routes when Central cheated to the inside in coverage. He's not going to juke past too many defenders after the catch, but he usually finds a way to fall forward for extra yardage.
At 6'6", 235 lbs., Butt has an ideal frame for the position, and his blocking really impressed me as well. He's another early enrollee, and I'd be surprised if he took a redshirt—he may not start from day one, but he's a better blocker than Devin Funchess and could give Michigan a scary one-two combo at tight end/H-back.
Honorable Mention: David Dawson, Shane Morris
THE SHANE MORRIS CATEGORY: Shane Morris
An overview of Michigan's 2013 class is incomplete without mentioning the team's quarterback of the future. Morris dropped from five-star status on Rivals and 247 after a senior season marred by mono and an uneven performance at the Under Armour AA Game, but he still has the highest ceiling of any of Michigan's commits.
The first thing that stands out about Morris is his arm strength—the ball explodes out of his hand with seemingly little effort. When he's on, it's a sight to behold. The problem—and ultimately why he dropped in the rankings—is that he's yet to show consistency; he still needs work reading defenses and relies too heavily on his arm strength to fit the ball into windows that sometimes aren't there.
Those expecting Morris to come in and take the starting job need to temper their expectations severely—the job is Devin Gardner's, and barring injury it'll stay that way. Morris could very well come in and earn the backup job over Russell Bellomy, however, and with a couple years of development he could be special.
Honorable Mention: Shane Morris
SLEEPER: Da'Mario Jones
Michigan snatched WR Da'Mario Jones, a Westland John Glenn product, away from Central Michigan, so he certainly flew under the radar for the bulk of the recruiting cycle. That may have been the product of playing in a league that doesn't get much exposure, however—Allen Trieu reported($) that UCLA, Alabama, Florida State, Michigan State, and Georgia all came to see him last week, though no offers came when he made it clear he was ticketed for Ann Arbor.
While the other two receivers in the class, Csont'e York and Jaron Dukes, are big guys who were on the receiving end of a lot of jump balls in high school, Jones is a guy who's shown his ability to work underneath and break big plays after the catch. With Drew Dileo and Jeremy Gallon back in 2013, he may not see the field right away, but down the road there's a clear role he can fill in the slot—a position that, granted, may be marginalized by the increased emphasis on tight ends—and nobody else on the roster who fits that mold after next season.
Honorable Mention: Wyatt Shallman, Khalid Hill
Monday Recruitin' Knows, Won't Tell
Today's recruiting roundup covers last weekend's All-American games, high profile names emerging (or re-emerging) as targets, and a potentially wavering 2014 commit.
Spill The Beans, Green
Five-star linebacker Reuben Foster: visit on tap?
Michigan didn't land one of their remaining high-profile targets over the weekend when FL S Leon McQuay III committed to USC. They appear poised to get better news regarding VA RB Derrick Green, however—the nation's top running back has maintained Michigan as his leader in recent weeks and told Rivals($) after the Army All-American Game, "I know where I'm going." Green plans to announce sometime this month and it's safe to expect good news barring a sudden change of heart.
While USC snagged a Michigan target, it's possible the Wolverines return the favor after CA WR Sebastian LaRue decommitted from the Trojans; the four-star told 247's Clint Brewster that he plans to talk to Coach Ferrigno about a potential visit to Ann Arbor ($). LaRue currently has a visit to Notre Dame scheduled and is also looking at Miami, Arkansas, and Texas A&M.
The Wolverines may also have suddenly found themselves in the mix for the nation's top linebacker recruit, Alabama prospect Reuben Foster, after he connected with commit Henry Poggi at the Under Armour game. Poggi reportedly alerted Foster to Michigan's potential interest and convinced him to get in touch with the coaches, and Foster looks to be following through, per Sam Webb ($):
Once Foster and Michigan begin having more conversations, the 6'1, 240 pounder says it's likely he'll get up to Ann Arbor for a visit at some point before signing day.
"I don't know but the odds are pretty darn good cause I'm cool with [Poggi's] dad that I just met this week --- very cool with him," said Foster.
With a month to go until signing day, it's very late in the game to enter into the recruitment of such a high-profile player, but the former Auburn commit seems to have genuine interest. It's early yet to harbor serious hopes of a commitment, but if a visit materializes it would obviously be fantastic news for Michigan.
A more likely candidate for one of the final few spots is CA OL Cameron Hunt, who spent time with Michigan's contingent of commitments at the UA game. Hunt will take his official to Michigan next weekend, followed by visits to Oregon and Cal, and he told Sam Webb that those three schools comprise his leading trio ($).

Thursday Recruitin' Talks About Practice
Today's recruiting roundup covers the various All-American bowl practices, the latest on Derrick Green, and (debunked) rumors about a commit taking visits.
Say "Tease"
L to R: Jourdan Lewis, Dymonte Thomas, Derrick Green, Jake Butt, Chris Fox
Michigan has four commits at the Army All-American Game and many are wondering if they'll soon have a fifth after VA RB Derrick Green jumped into a picture with them (above, via). Green conducted a live chat on Rivals yesterday, reiterating that Michigan is his top school, holding a "small" lead over the field—Auburn, Tennessee, Miami, Florida State, and USC. He also got the Fred Jackson Seal of Approval for this quote:
Comment From Guest
Who would you compare your running style to?
Derrick Green: I compare my running style to a combination of Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker and Trent Richardson
Green mentioned the possibility of committing within the next week or so—though not at the Army game itself—but also stated a desire to take his two remaining official visits even after he commits; if his choice is Michigan, he'd obviously have to talk that out with the coaches.
FL S Leon McQuay III is set to announce on Friday and the sense from insiders is that Florida State—the presumed pick—and USC both hold an edge on Michigan, and quite possibly Vanderbilt does as well. If he holds off on making a decision, which Sam Webb has mentioned as a slight possibility, then the Wolverines could have hope; as it stands, not so much.
Matters are looking better for CA OL Cameron Hunt, at least if Patrick Kugler is to be believed:
Ok all Michigan fans follow @cjhunt78... trust me its comin soon #GoBlue
— Patrick Kugler (@Kugleybear57) January 3, 2013
Hunt will take his official visit to Ann Arbor on January 11th.
Michigan is out of the running for for Wisconsin commit Marcus Ball, according to 247's Evan Flood. The Wolverines were pursuing Ball as a linebacker.

Monday Recruitin' Rewrites The Dictionary
Today's recruiting roundup covers last weekend's visitors, Laquon Treadwell's top three, and more.
More To Come?
Dan Samuelson
Michigan's big recruiting weekend delivered as expected, with Cass Tech teammates David Dawson and Delano Hill becoming the 23rd and 24th members of the class of 2013. Dawson is very much a known commodity, Hill less so—Josh Helmholdt caught up to the latter to get some clarity on his future position ($):
"Their plans for me are I am going to start off playing corner," Hill said. "If I don't like playing corner, I can always go back to playing safety. I think I can play all positions in the secondary, so it doesn't matter to me."
Hill played safety in high school but has also displayed impressive cover skills on the camp circuit; at 6'1", he'd give Michigan a bigger corner to line up on the outside.
The Wolverines hosted a surprise visitor last weekend in IN OL Dan Samuelson, a Nebraska commit who recently received a Michigan offer, per Allen Trieu ($). While Samuelson played it coy about his interest in Michigan, a Scout article from last week indicates that he took a big step by making this visit ($) [emphasis mine]:
"I truly didn't go and look for another offer though. [Michigan] came to me. There is very little interest from me to Michigan. I really don't think that I will take a visit there. Nebraska said that they would view that as a decommitment. I don't want to do that. I believe that is where that will stay."
I doubt the situation changed from Nebraska's end in the span of a few days; it seems likely that Samuelson has given up his spot in their class to see Ann Arbor. And now, 247's Todd Worly reported today that Samuelson's situation could be resolved imminently ($):
Looks like the Wolverines have made an impression and Samuelson plans on having everything figured out by Monday evening.
"I'm going to start calling everyone around 5 (p.m. EST), after I talk to Nebraska and figure things out with them," Samuelson said.
With the recent rumblings that Michigan could take a sixth offensive lineman, plus the above chronology, well... stay tuned.
Michigan also made an impression on another visitor committed to a Big Ten school, linebacker recruit and Wisconsin pledge Marcus Ball. Ball told Todd Worly that Michigan is "a great place," though he's waiting to see who the Badgers hire to replace Bret Bielema before making any decisions about his status with the Badgers ($). For what it's worth, Dymonte Thomas—one of many Michigan commits taking his official visit last weekend—tells Sam Webb that he thinks Ball will make the switch ($):
"I just met [Ball] this weekend, but I think he is going to commit to Michigan too," said Thomas. "I'm not 100% sure, but I think he really liked us. We'll see what happens."
Man, Bielema is going to flip out about that gentleman's agree-- oh, right.

Monday Recruitin' Prefers Queazy
Today's recruiting roundup covers the latest on David Dawson and Gareon Conley, new candidates to round out the 2013 class, the latest wave of 2014 offers, and more.
Guess Who's Back
Talk to me man
Yes, Brian stole my thunder on Friday, but here it is again: David Dawson was re-offered last week after having a "heart to heart"($) with Brady Hoke and will take an official visit to Ann Arbor on December 14th. This is, unequivocally, a good thing; Michigan needs one more offensive lineman in the class and Dawson is easily the best among the available options.
It's also a strike against critics of Hoke's nebulous "Policy"—one that's never been explicitly stated, mind you—as it's clear he deals with these matters on a case-by-case basis, as he should. A commitment taking visits doesn't necessarily mean he's gone from the class forever; it does mean he hold a spot while looking around. This ensures, as much as one can ensure with these things, that members of the class show the same level of commitment given to them by the school.
On that note: Gareon Conley will also take an official visit to Michigan on December 14th, according to ESPN's Brad Bournival ($). He'll also visit Ohio State this Thursday, and all indications are this is a two-horse race between the Wolverines and Buckeyes—Conley wanted an Oregon offer before he took a visit to Eugene and one has yet to materialize.
It seems very possible that both Dawson and Conley could end up back in the class when all is said and done. Dawson seems to regret parting ways with Michigan—there were rumors he tried to talk his way back into the fold shortly after the coaches dropped him—and I'd be surprised if Hoke would re-offer without a pretty good idea of where Dawson is headed. Conley looks to be more of a toss-up, but Michigan has his father in their corner.

Monday Recruitin' Hits The Road
Today's recruiting roundup surveys the landscape as several coaches are fired and the rest prepare for in-home visits, recaps Michigan commits in their state playoffs, and more.
One Final Note From The Game
Massillon Washington DB/WR Gareon Conley was in Columbus for #THEGAME today, we are being told
— 11W Recruiting (@11WRecruiting) November 25, 2012
There's no official word on Conley's status, but don't expect him to be considered a commit for much longer. The question of whether or not he could find himself back in the class eventually is more difficult to answer; his situation isn't the same as David Dawson's or Pharaoh Brown's—Conley was up-front with the coaches about his desire to take visits. We'll have to wait and see if the coaches decide to treat his case differently.
And Now Let's Never Talk About The Game Again
Good? Good.
In-home visits with recruits begin this week, and some very interesting names have emerged as players who will host Michigan coaches, including one we haven't seen in a while:
How bout this for blast from the past? Hearing #Michigan will drop in on Joliet (IL) RB Ty Isaac this week
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) November 26, 2012
Yes, that Ty Isaac, one-time top running back target and current USC commit. While there's no indication that he's wavering on his commitment, Lane Kiffin's job security has come under fire—especially in the wake of a derp-tacular finish to the Notre Dame game—and it's worth noting that recruits must approve of a visit before a coach can drop by; Isaac is at least willing to listen to Michigan's latest pitch.
Does that mean anything in regards to VA RB Derrick Green? I doubt it. Green's other presumed top choices, Auburn and Tennessee, have now both fired their head coaches—in Auburn's case, they just cleaned out the entire staff. That leaves Oregon, Miami, and Ole Miss as Michigan's top competition. Oregon doesn't fit Green's stated desire to play in a pro-style offense and Miami has the Nevin Shapiro cloud looming over their program. It's possible Green chooses Ole Miss out of a desire to play in the South, but that's a major step down in program quality compared to Michigan.

I don't understand what this means.
GRR I wish I could hate him to death!
prohibiting discrimination which means of course, permitting discrimination against gays and lesbians. ???
what the fuck is up with the carpool one and the prayer one (which isnt timmy's)
@3 - I guess the assumption is that this initiative would "prohibit discrimination" against christians who believe gays are bad by permitting them to discriminate against gays in employment, renting of apartments, running over with cars, etc.
Something like that. Typically, the reactionary approach is to say that gay rights discriminate against straights by creating "preferences." Eyman's initiative will undoubtedly say something about "no preferences."
And yeah, wow, that school prayer one is nuts! Do they have to allow initiatives on the ballot that are blatantly anti-constitutional?
@3 You might have been thrown off by "of course"
Looking forward to more "quotes", assumptions, and general fuzzy math handed to us by the media/The Stranger.
So Gene, what's your guess on what an Eyman-sponsored initiative that is supposedly about "prohibiting discrimination" would be about? Based on his track record, I'd say it's pretty much a no-brainer. We've been down this road before.
The logical assumption would be that the carpool lane initiative will say something typically regressive like, "no new carpool lanes shall ever be built." I'm going to bet my money on something a little more Eymanish, like, say, "if gays are caught they shall be thrown from a moving car onto the carpool lane."
I'd say it's a combination of #5 and #6. YOUR initiative, Levislade, in attempting an explanation, prompted the post's author to weasle in and "clarify", of course.
I suspect the carpool lane initiative is to open them up to general traffic. That kind of thing is pretty popular with the Sound Politics crowd.
The carpool lane initiative is probably one of the stupidest things Eyman has ever proposed (and it's got some fierce competition)...Duh, if you open the carpool lane to traffic, it will slow all lanes of traffic equally proportionately, and the difference it makes in flow of traffic becomes negligible.
Um, isn't there another one, gathering signature's at the Ballard Fred Meyer, that proports to be about "lower insurance rates"?
Something about that looked really fishy.
13 plus it creates less incentive to carpool thus putting more people in cars and causing more traffic.
generally you create an incentive to help reduce a problem at the expense of people who wont take you up on the incentive.
@14 This relates to a newly passed law that allows suits against insurance companies that allow for triple damages if a claim is settled unfairly. Sounds nice, but the law fails to define unfairly.
Since insurance companies are regularly sued, tripling the damages means higher claims, higher claims expense, and therefore, increased rates for all drivers. That's a pay raise for me, since my commission is a set percentage of premium, but I'd still rather we not have auto insurance rates like California's.
And what are we worried about as far as Eyman goes? His ability to actually get initiatives on the ballot has all but disappeared, and his ability to get them passed is coming up on its second yahrzeit.
It seems like only yesterday that Timmy Eyman was on the television, in tears, telling us all how sorry he was that he stole money from his supporters.
He is a total sleazebucket.
He's back! I hope this means more cosplay to laugh at.
So when was the last time Eyman actually got enough signatures to get something on the ballot, and then have it actually be approved by the voters?
@16 - yeah, but doesn't that act as an incentive to bike or walk to work, or take the bus?
Why you be hatin on our vibe?
Getting rid of carpool lanes is a non-starter, even if the voters approve it. The feds pony up money for all those highways, not just the state, and they make certain requirements in return, like HOV lanes. They cannot be eliminated without the approval of the Federal Highway Administration and that's not gonna happen. Blame Big Brother Timmy.
We're exploring various potential initiative proposals. The one on 'prohibiting discrimination' relates to saving I-200, an initiative the voters approved in 1998 relating to race, sex, color, ethnicity, and national origin. Since its overwhelming passage, several governments have put loopholes in it and the courts have misinterpreted what "no preferential treatment" means when it comes to race, sex, color, ethnicity, and national origin in public education, public employment, and public contracting. The 59% of the electorate who approved I-200 wanted state and local governments to simply treat everyone equally and wanted the government and the courts to respect its policies, not undermine them. Sexual orientation wasn't included in I-200 and so it's not included in this initiative.
Interestingly, there's a U.S. Supreme Court case coming out soon which provides one example of what I'm referring to when it comes to I-200. The State Supreme Court said that Seattle's "racial tiebreaker" school policy did not violate I-200. By any reasonable reading of the initiative, the State Supreme Court should have invalidated Seattle's "racial tiebreaker." Because they didn't, it was appealed to the SCOTUS, and their upcoming U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which is due any day now, is widely expected to overturn this policy for Seattle schools and possibly schools throughout the nation. Again, this is just one example of Washington state's courts and the Legislature misinterpreting and undermining I-200.
@23: But of course you have no problems discriminating against us homos when it comes to things like marriage or equality regarding sexual orientation. I take it frat boy watch sales are down.
@21 God's honest truth, I wouldn't shed a tear if everyone in this city sold their car and started biking. Car insurance is the most difficult thing to sell and underwrite. I'd much rather be working on homeowners, commercial, life, or even renters.

Running Time: 90
Company: Totally Tasteless Video
Cast: Summer (I), Katie (I), Vanity (I), Layla (I), Dee Cee, Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Filler for teen or wall-to-wall section.
In today's world of silicone titties, gas-guzzling SUVs and supersized fast food items, the message definitely seems to be bigger is better. Some still believe that less is more, such as the minority of porn fans who like small titties.
This title has four scenes of het fucking starring the less bountifully endowed girls getting drilled and filled. The sex is pretty average, but if you like the A-cup titties - perhaps for the Lolita-esque appeal of a flat chest - it's just the ticket for you.
Production values are pretty run of the mill, though one of the scenes is very poorly lit and another has constant pixilation along the bottom of the picture.

The other amateurs to earn their place at The Hills Golf Club
and Millbrook Resort from February 27 to March 2 are Cameron
Jones, of Muriwai, Kadin Neho, of Whangarei, and Jordan
Golding, of Omanu.
They will attempt to follow in the footsteps of Australian
Jake Higginbottom, who won the title in 2012 at Clearwater to
be the first amateur winner of the event since 1956.
McCall, who won the New Zealand stroke play and the New
Zealand amateur championship in 2012, earned his place in his
second New Zealand Open after finishing as the leading player
on the 2013 New Zealand Golf Order of Merit.
McCall (22), who plays out of the Gore Golf Club, is a
born-and-bred southerner. He said playing the New Zealand
Open so close to home would be a huge thrill.
''I can't lie - I'm absolutely stoked to have a start into
the New Zealand Open.
''I have had so many people ask if I'll be playing and I know
heaps of people who are keen to come and watch. It's a great
chance for me to fly the Gore flag. I can't wait.''
North Harbour No 1 Jones secured his place in the New Zealand
Open when he won the New Zealand stroke play championship at
the Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club for his breakthrough national
''It's a pretty special feeling getting to tee it up in my
national open again,'' the 21-year-old said.
''It is especially special as I gained the exemption from
winning the New Zealand stroke play and I feel like I have
earned my spot in the field.
''I'm extremely excited and working really hard at the
opportunity I have to compete with the pros. It will be a
good test around two great courses with a really strong
Joining Jones will be Northland No 1 Neho, who made history
at Manawatu Golf Club when he became the first golfer from
Northland to win the New Zealand amateur championship in 120
''I'm just grateful to have the opportunity to play in the
New Zealand Open. Who wouldn't be,'' the 18-year-old from
Whangarei Golf Club said.
''It's going to be a huge tournament. This will be my first
time playing the New Zealand Open and it's going to be an
amazing experience.''
Golding secured his place in the elite company when he won
the 76th New Zealand Maori Golf Championship in Taupo in
There was no New Zealand Open in 2013 due to tournament
rescheduling so Golding qualifies for the Queenstown event.

Chelsea Walls
- Studio: Lions Gate Films
- Release Date: Apr 19, 2002
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Yet the movie sustains a mood. It passionately believes in itself and in the value of the messy artistic lives it glosses, and some of that belief rubs off on you.
Aims for a sadness and desperation that is crudely announced rather than subtly demonstrated.
Does become more engaging as it lurches along, perhaps because you give up hoping that anything will really happen and settle into the Nicolas Roeg-meets-David Lynch-at-the-cast-party-for-"Taxi Driver" atmosphere of mid-'70s nothingness.
The ethos of the Chelsea Hotel may shape Hawke's artistic aspirations, but he hasn't yet coordinated his own DV poetry with the Beat he hears in his soul.
The few minutes of footage devoted to a performance by bona fide jazz artist "Little" Jimmy Scott, an eccentric cult favorite, is more genuinely evocative than anything else in the film

PJJun 30, 2006I don't understand the series of 10's this film earned in the user ratings. If a film like Citizen Kane represents a generally I don't understand the series of 10's this film earned in the user ratings. If a film like Citizen Kane represents a generally accepted level of supreme fillmmaking, and therefore worthy of a 10, Chelsea Walls is nowhere near that mark. In addition, the notion that anyone giving this film a poor review, is either not very bright or didn't view the film with an open mind, is rather immature. This film was recommended to me by a friend, with whom I share a similar taste in film. So, I went into this expecting to like the Chelsea Walls...but that's not how it turned out. First off, the grainy digital picture and lifeless camerawork make the visuals an absolute chore to take in. The dim interior and exterior lighting doesn't help matters any. As far as the actual performances go, there were a few actors that turned in intermittently compelling performances. However, the amount of time devoted to most of the characters is brief which doesn't allow for much development. Not only were the individual story arcs quite thin, they also failed to interweave in a manner that added anything of value to the plot line. In general, everything about this film seemed very contrived and amateurish. It plays more like a documentary than an ensemble drama. Had this been a documentary chronicling the lives of actual Chelsea residents, I would've been more receptive, and been able to take the characters seriously. Yet, it's a fictional tale of struggling artists pretentiously portrayed by established actors in somber settings. The most pressing question this film raises, is just what the filmmakers were trying to express about the Chelsea and its residents. Apparently, what was once a grand hotel that housed some of histories greatest American artists, is now nothing more than a run-down haven for aimless deadbeats who's personal problems will prevent them from ever making great art. That seemed to be the sentiment of the two cops in the film, and is what makes them, sadly, the only two characters I could really identify with. If I had to describe this film in one word, that word would be "bleak."… Full Review »

Capel I. Diabetes Technol Ther. 2013;doi:10.1089/dia.2013.0229.
An artificial pancreas using a predictive rule-based algorithm achieves normal nocturnal concentrations of blood glucose in patients with type 1 diabetes, according to study findings.
"This study shows that the [predictive rule-based algorithm] is a new, more physiological, and highly precise controller that achieves a significant increase in overnight normoglycemia and glucose stability in patients with a previously acceptable metabolic control," the researchers wrote.
The randomized crossover study evaluated 10 adult participants with type 1 diabetes and previously treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). All participants were aged at least 18 years, had diabetes for at least 3 years, and had received CSII treatment for more than 1 year.
The study participants spent two non-consecutive nights at the Diabetes Day Care Center, Parc Tauli Sabadell University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain. On one of the nights, the participants underwent their usual CSII therapy (open-loop night), and one night entailed the use of the predictive rule-based algorithm (closed-loop night). Each night involved the evaluation of two patients, one for each treatment approach. The closed-loop treatment duration was between 10 p.m. and 10 a.m., and included overnight control and breakfast control. Blood glucose was evaluated through samples collected every 20 minutes.
The researchers found that the percent of normoglycemic time sustained during the nocturnal period (from midnight to 8 a.m.) increased from 66.6% with open loop to 95.8% using the closed-loop algorithm (P<.05). The median time in which patients were hypoglycemic decreased from 4.2% in the open-loop night to 0% on the closed-loop algorithm night (P<.05). The open-loop night was associated with nine hypoglycemic events vs. one using the closed-loop algorithm. Post-meal glycemic deviation was not lower with the closed-loop system vs. conventional insulin pump therapy.
Disclosure: One of the researchers has received speaker honoraria from Medtronic and Roche, has served as a consultant to Novo Nordisk, and has received a grant from Roche Diagnostics.

Survey Says: 63 million iOS users downloading over 5 million games per day
A March 2011 study conducted by Distimo and Newzoo, surveyed iOS users living in the US and six countries in Europe, and found that 63 million iOS users are downloading 5 million games on a daily basis.
Games are doing better that apps in other categories, according to the study heads which looked at the top 300 games available in both the free and pay categories.
The average iOS user downloaded 2.5 games a month, 88 percent of which were free.
Games makes up 40 percent of iOS revenue, and in-game spending is expected to boost iOS gaming revenue the second part of 2011.
In the US, 12 million folks play games on iPad while 7 million Europeans play games on the device, which only represents 10 percent of iOS game purchasers and more than what currently use PSP, notes the study.
In Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, UK and US, between 50 and 75 percent of iPhone owners play games.

into the King's High School wall of fame yesterday.

Sports columnists are charged with rendering conclusions cleverly. It's the strength of their convictions, not the depth of their analysis or breadth of knowledge, that makes them household names. If Gopher forward Miles Tarver has a bad afternoon at the freethrow line, it's a safe bet his manhood will be questioned in the morning edition. If Timberwolf Kevin Garnett executes a triple-double, more than one jocular pundit will claim he's worth every penny of his multimillion-dollar salary. When the tables turn, the columnists turn; Tarver becomes a hero, Garnett a goat.
There's nothing wrong with this style. Sassy, colorful sports columns, like clever editorial cartoons, engage because they're unabashedly arrogant, argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. Better yet, there's very little at stake besides entertainment, an athlete's fragile ego, or a fan's obsession.
Unfortunately, this year's biggest sports story has nothing to do with the harmless rantings of the armchair athlete. Carl Pohlad's year-long lobbying effort to acquire an open-air stadium for his Minnesota Twins is a tale of big business, political maneuvering, and public opinion. Questions involved include the pros and cons of public subsidies, the definition of metropolitan development, and the future of an entertainment industry in crisis. Last on the list, if it's on the list at all, is the game of baseball.
Still, sports gurus at both local dailies, particularly the Star Tribune, have spilled considerable ink on the issue. At first their columns were amusing. Then they became tedious. Now they're just self-serving, the product of a journalistic clique afraid of becoming even less relevant.
Faced with observations about their obvious self-interest, high-profile pundits at the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press have reflexively pointed to their Guild contracts. This "they can't fire me, so I don't care" argument might play on talk radio, but it doesn't wash. If a pro sports team leaves Minneapolis there will be less local sports content in the dailies; less local content means less opportunity for sports columnists to flex their muscle.
Without the Twins in Minneapolis, summertime sports coverage would be curtailed significantly in both dailies. There would be no special sections to accompany a home stand, no reports from the road, no need for postgame analysis. There would be no hope for the national publicity or marketing blitzes that ensue when the home team makes a playoff run or competes in a World Series. There may even be an effect on circulation: In Seattle, if the local baseball team plays and loses, the next day's single-copy press order is 12 percent larger. If they win, it's 20 percent larger.
What's more, in a market of Minneapolis's size, daily columnists double and triple as TV commentators and radio talk-show hosts. If even one major-league sports team leaves town, the demand for commentators goes down. For an established columnist to say they don't have a personal stake in the stadium debate is like a film critic arguing they wouldn't care if there weren't any first-run theaters in the metro.
The old school, wise to these realities, hasn't wasted any time shilling for a shiny new ballpark. Star Tribune columnist Sid Hartman has called every Pohlad offer his best and last, scolding critics for daring to question the motives of a multimillion-dollar entrepreneur. Hartman's colleague, Patrick Reusse, ceaselessly worries that if legislators don't keep the Twins, Minneapolis will become a ghost town (cue the Iowa and Idaho references). Never mind that the country's biggest, best ballparks--including the frequently referenced Camden Yards in Baltimore--lost money last year, he's been in favor of every Pohlad offer to date. The Pioneer Press's Joe Soucheray, who doesn't write sports full-time, argues it's the sanctity of the game, not the size of the price tag, that matters most.
"The sanctity of the game." "The beauty of baseball." From day one, these tenured writers have refused to care whether America's pastime has overextended its potential. "The continued presence of major league baseball in Minnesota is more important to me than many of the things on which the state's politicians choose to spend my tax dollars," Reusse wrote in January. "Baseball is more important to me than Minnesota retaining its status as welfare Nirvana, in contrast to the national reform effort."
Less blatant, but equally telling, have been attempts by the Strib's Dan Barreiro and his PiPress equivalent, Bob Sansevere, to apply the rules of sportswriting to the task of political commentary. Instead of admitting his bias up-front like Hartman and Reusse, Barreiro (who also hosts an afternoon talk show on KFAN with Chad Hartman) has attempted to analyze the ABCs of each deal with a feigned air of objectivity. In the process, he's concluded stadium opponents are gutless opportunists, unwilling to take a definitive stand. Barreiro also argues over the methodology of his own newspaper's opinion polls, "wondering" out loud whether more people care about the Twins than we've been led to believe.
Last summer, in tune with his usually even-handed approach to issues of the day, Barreiro was willing to engage in a dialogue with KFAN listeners calling to question Pohlad's motives or wonder whether pro sports were spiraling out of control. Now he's sick of all the nit-picking, all the talk. When Pohlad offered $100 million in the middle of the special session--$100 million that turned out to be a whole lot less in real dollars--he couldn't imagine what else Minnesota's representatives could want. Now, just a couple of weeks later, he' throwing mud on legislators who aren't embracing Pohlad's latest scheme, his last, last offer.
"[House Minority Leader Steve] Sviggum would say no if Pohlad turned over the team to the state, wrote out a check for $350 million... donated another $200 million for new schools, and agreed to monthly floggings at the corner at Chicago Avenue and Kirby Puckett Place," Barreiro opined in last Friday's Strib.
You have to admit the guy's one hell of a sportswriter.
In a perfect world, the ravings of agenda-laden sports columnists could be written off as just one part of the news mix. Unfortunately, there has been precious little counterbalance from news reporters or business writers at either daily. The one exception is PiPress reporter Patrick Sweeney, who continues to scoop his counterpart, the Strib's Jay Weiner, on key stories. Before anyone, and better than anyone, Sweeney's analyzed the viability of baseball in North Carolina, entertained the idea that Pohlad may be bluffing, and completely and clearly broke down proposals being entertained by the Legislature. His coverage has been both objective and enlightening. The PiPress has also featured a number of well-sourced stories about whether or not professional sports can actually benefit a local economy.
Meanwhile, staffers at the Strib have been grumbling about the increasingly incomplete coverage in their paper, and many are reportedly red-faced over the heavy lifting the editorial board has done for Pohlad. When asked to go on the record with these frustrations, Strib employees refuse, claiming that even in-house criticism has resulted in hostile treatment from management.
The rank and file is also hard-pressed to provide a comprehensive explanation for their newspaper's half-baked stadium coverage. Some say there haven't been enough resources; others charge Weiner--who's responsible for a bulk of the beat--doesn't have enough business experience to evaluate complex proposals. No one will say, on the record or off, that there's a conscious, coordinated push to slant stories one way or another.
But neither is there evidence suggesting pressure from on high to improve coverage. Stories about the tenuous nature of Carl Pohlad's agreement with Don Beaver, pro sports' economic woes, and barriers facing baseball in North Carolina have consistently come late, if at all, and have been buried deep in the paper. Analytical perspective has been replaced by a "he said, she said" approach from front to back. Last Friday's front-page story about Pohlad's latest offer, for example, left readers wanting for any explanation of how a deal would affect the state's general fund, or any hint of how the absence of one owner could affect an already crippled franchise. Conclusions such as these were left to the sportswriters and an editorial board whose cheerleading has been taking on a desperate tone.
"The people have more than spoken; they've fairly shouted 'No,' in percentages rising now into the 60s," an October 23 editorial read. "But as frequently happens when passion gets involved, the people may be mistaken. It is the responsibility of the Minnesota Legislature, as it meets today in special session, to 'refine and enlarge the public views'... in order to calculate the best interest of the state."
What the edit board was more likely calculating were the best interests of their owner, Cowles Media. Last spring, Editorial Pages Editor Susan Albright told City Pages that the board reports to Publisher Joel Kramer, who reports directly to Cowles. Cowles has given an unspecified contribution to Minnesota Wins, the pro-stadium lobbying and PR effort founded by Bob Dayton, and stands to benefit financially if a stadium is built in downtown Minneapolis.
"It's probably not a deal that parties on either side would have agreed to on their best day," the edit board concluded on Sunday. "But then the good day, and all the better ideas for a new baseball stadium, have run out. Except for the gun pointed at everyone's head, cocked to signal the end of major league baseball in Minnesota, this is all that's left."
The questions the Strib seems unwilling to ask are, who's pointing the gun at whom, and why.

The Croods Mix & Match CrocoPup is for The Croods fans ages 3 and up.
The Croods is rated PG, which may mean that the story and some of the action may not be appropriate for children in the designated age-range for the movie. Only the trailer was available at the time of this review, but it has some violence and sophisticated themes that will likely be over the heads of 3- and 4-year-olds.
