A few other twitter updates.
Taco Charlton "#Yessir!!! RT @CollegeGameDay: The #Wolverines roll past the #Huskers 45-17...Is #Michigan football officially back?"
Lawton Treadwell was tweeting about the game the whole time (he wasn't able to make it) and he said there is no way he is missing the next game.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:02 PM ^
Dunn's father said they will be at the game next week also.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:05 PM ^
Cheering for which team? If he's an OSU commit on the M sideline, that would be a good sign.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:11 PM ^
Earlier reports were he wouldn't attend the game because he didn't want to be dispresctful. I would assume since he is now attending he will be on the Michigan sideline.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:16 PM ^
of course. I don't think BD and his father could return back to ohio if that were to occur. Altho...it would make for good drama for the mgousers.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:04 PM ^
Just read on facebook that he committed. Link
EDIT: The facebook group is not open... you will need to request an invite to get access.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:12 PM ^
How reliable are these guys?
November 19th, 2011 at 4:13 PM ^
Thurgood, Dennis, James, Greg are all highly reliable. Not saying this is or isnt true but they are more in the know than you or I.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:19 PM ^
Thurgood said he committed. Dennis replied that it's not official. Wait and see time.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:13 PM ^
About as reliable as a condom with a rip in it.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:19 PM ^
That...would be awesome ^9813 if true.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:43 PM ^
Per Thurgood, Dunn told "players he's coming." Not sure if that means current players on the roster or recruits.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
Does it matter?
November 19th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
I will believe it when I see it. I will maintain composure and stay totally calm.
Inside, I will be screaming EEEEEEEEE like a little girl.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:12 PM ^
Did I get the right address?
November 19th, 2011 at 4:30 PM ^
Brionte Dunn is a great get - especially the direction the staff is taking the offense. I would have loved to have seen Wes Brown come here (an absolute game breaker) but Brionte is an equivalent talent who is a great between the tackles runner.
But personally the Fitz Toussaint era is a great one too. The kid is a great runner....
November 19th, 2011 at 4:38 PM ^
Couldn't agree more about Fitz. He is fun to watch!
I live in Omaha. I can't express how awesome this game was!!!!
November 19th, 2011 at 7:18 PM ^
I live in Omaha too, the smack talk on Monday at work I'm going to dish out is going to be epic! (all in good fun of course, I'll take my medicine if/when we lose to them)
November 19th, 2011 at 4:42 PM ^
Isn't that next week?
November 19th, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
Wow, that's huge. The fact that he's visiting us the week we're playing the team he's currently committed to is a huge slap in the face to Ohio.
That's as close to de-committing as you can get without actually de-committing.
(BTW I thought this week was his official visit, guess not. Either way this looks really good for us.)
November 19th, 2011 at 9:47 PM ^
Hide yo' ACL.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
TomVH is reporting that Dunn and Kalis will take their officials together next week!
November 19th, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
lolololol wut now
November 19th, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
Well, that's about as good as done then, right?
November 19th, 2011 at 4:56 PM ^
Dunn deal?
November 19th, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
he WILL be enrolling early per Sam Webb. They are not saying he has flipped yet,but come on we know whats up.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
..and avoid the ensuing shit storm in Columbus as a result of his flipping. Reminds me of Pete Carroll telling...argh that DE from Michigan (Nick Perry?) to keep his commit quiet until he leaves for school in January in order to avoid any potential backlash in Ann Arbo.
November 19th, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
November 19th, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^
Sometimes when you're on, you're really fuckin' on.
November 19th, 2011 at 8:05 PM ^
Someone needs to remake that video with clips of the last 3 yrs interposed with successful clips from this year. I would pay money for that.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
November 19th, 2011 at 4:53 PM ^
w00t!
November 19th, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
I think if we add Dunn our class is number 1 no matter what, plus with Shaq visiting next week that game goes from huge to out of this world!!!
November 19th, 2011 at 4:59 PM ^
November 19th, 2011 at 6:20 PM ^
UM isn't recruiting Brown hard. Vandy is his strong leader.
November 19th, 2011 at 5:11 PM ^
...to come? Gosh I hope so. With that trio the future looks so,so bright!
November 19th, 2011 at 6:27 PM ^
That makes a great looking wallpaper!
November 19th, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
To quote the great Tobias Funke...
Douuuuuche chiiiiiiiill
November 19th, 2011 at 5:11 PM ^
Could he just be using his interest in Michigan primarily to get to take an official trip to the UM-OSU game which happens to involve the team he's currently committed to?
November 19th, 2011 at 7:05 PM ^
I know back in the Carr days, I'm not sure if it's still this way...Michigan and Ohio had a "gentlemen's" agreement to allow a certain number of the other teams committed prospects from Michigan or Ohio to go to the game.
I don't have the curiousity to go look, but I'm pretty sure Manningham or some other Michigan commits went to OSU for a visit to see the game.
November 19th, 2011 at 5:14 PM ^
Visiting next week, and being on the MICHIGAN sideline for the game is HUGE. As long as he isn't wearing OSU garb like Maurie Clarett did back in the day, I am all good.
I think we can bump him up from 50/50 to maybe a lean now. You don't visit two weeks in a row for nothing.
November 19th, 2011 at 5:31 PM ^
You must have missed the update to the update. I doubt he would watch Michigan win in VERY impressive fashion and then decide to early enroll to OSU on the spot. I'd say that's more than a lean. Unless we have another Elmer situation on our hands and every fitz run just burned him up inside. But I doubt it.
November 19th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
See I'm not too worried, if Dunn comes he could easily get a RS. Then in 2013, we'll have a RS Freshman Dunn, a Junior Thomas Rawls, and a Senior Fitz. It's not too unlikely to say that by 2014 he would be our featured back with 3 years in front of him
November 19th, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
Isn't Rawls going to get a RS since he didn't play at all after I think ND or SDSU?
Also, you forgot about Justice Hayes.
November 19th, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
If Dunn is planning to enroll early, I doubt that he and the coaches are thinking redshirt. He'll get plenty of carries if he comes to AA.
November 19th, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
Dunn did commit today as a silent verbal?? I bet he did and will offically switch over about a day before he enrolls in classs.
November 19th, 2011 at 6:25 PM ^
After watching today and with the O line coming in what kid wouldn't want to come here? You want to be NFL ready and go high in the draft in 3 or 4 years this is your ticket BD.
November 19th, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
Do we know who's likely taking over at center next season? It just really hit me today that we have no more Molk and it's bumming me out a little bit.
