Michigan's New ReinFORCEments...Are They Coming?

It still hasn't been a week since news broke of Michigan "offering" former Duke point guard Greg Paulus the opportunity to join the team as a Quarterback on the 2009 roster.

However, even though the news isn't even a week old it has become overplayed and tiresome for Michigan fans in the know. For Ohio State fans out there, this news is to us as Maurice Clarette jokes are to you, it has gotten that old already.

Everywhere I've gone its all I've seen. Every article on here or on various Michigan forums is about Paulus and it is getting ridiculous. What makes it so annoying is all these know it all Michigan fans saying Paulus has been offered and what not, but the real fans that dish out big money yearly to get the real info (Not from ESPN) know the truth and are tired of it.

For those that still haven't gotten it through your thick skulls, GREG PAULUS HAS NOT BEEN OFFERED BY MICHIGAN! He will NOT get offered, he will NOT be pursued. It's a dead issue. Shut up and move on.

Now with that out of the way...

Worry not Michigan fans, Michigan is still pursuing another Quarterback to complete the 2009 class.

His name will sound VERY familiar to Michigan fans.

Yes, it is another Forcier. You all remember Jason don't you?

In 2005, Jason, who was a four-star player and eighth ranked quarterback(according to Scout.com; Paulus was the ninth ranked Quarterback in the same class), signed his letter of intent to Michigan. However, in the spring of 2007 he transferred to Stanford.

Now a senior at Stanford, Jason will graduate this spring, still with one year of eligibility left.

Upon graduating he will enroll at Michigan but he will enroll with greater aspirations than just working for a Masters degree. No, he still wants one more shot to play at Michigan. A shot Rich is more than willing to give him (unlike with Paulus).

One problem though...he still has to go through the NCAA. If all goes well though Michigan will have another quarterback on the roster and Jason will bring one thing the rest of the teams Quarterbacks don't have...Experience!

Jason(if the NCAA allows him another year) will come in to Michigan with four years of experience at the college level already. 

If the appeal (which Jason has already filed) is denied by the NCAA then he will still join the team, but only as a grad assistant and not a player.

Chances are though his appeal will get granted and he should be quarterbacking for Michigan this fall.

For those that wanted Paulus I assure you Jason is better. The 6'2" 210+ pounder from San Diego will bring with him the experience and talent the team needs and that Paulus doesn't have.

As great as the Jason Forcier news is, it doesn't stop there. Not with the Forciers that is.

Chris Forcier, the second oldest of the three brothers, is transferring from UCLA.

Chris is looking at Michigan as his possible destination. The thing is though is that if Michigan takes him it will be as a wide receiver. But reports from UCLA spring practice are saying that the talented Forcier has already been switched from the Quarterback position to wide receiver. So that shouldn't be an issue in his decision.

He is the least talented quarterback of the three Forciers but is the best athlete of the three.

If he does transfer to Michigan he will have to sit out a year. He will be a red-shirt sophomore this coming season. If and when he finally gets to play for Michigan he would be a red-shirt junior.

Bottom line is Michigan should want both the Forciers and should the opportunity arise, they should take both.

Best guess is that both will be wearing Maize and Blue in the not too distant future.

The Forcier's could be Michigan's new Wisterts.

Talk about family atmosphere...
