Via Facebook (no I'm not one of those guys, he used to go to my school).
I'm sure there will be some sort of news about it in tomorrow's Recruiting entry. Even though I am a little concerned about his loyalty, he is a very athletic prospect and has an opprotunity to earn a scholarship offer from Michigan.
EDIT: It's a problem with the player's loyalty, not that I wouldn't want him to go to Michigan.
Huh?

Yeah my bad. I tried to make sense of it all and failed miserably.
It's just my opinion
It's a long story. I just question the guy's character.He left my school because he was sick of losing to our rival so he went to CCHS(our rival). Hopefully when he does make his college decision and sticks to it.

Is this the actual story or the story that everybody heard at school? That might not even be what really happened...
Yeah. I lost my two best HS
Yeah. I lost my two best HS teammates to our rival. Our rival actually took football seriousily, had paid assistants and a good track record with putting kids in D-I programs. Our program had a bunch of volunteers and thought it was a big deal when we had a kid get a D-II offer.
Can't say I really blamed my teammates, who had D-I talent, for making the move.
I know him personally he left
I know him personally he left because he was not getting no playing time.so left now he's rated. thats funny
Really isn't that odd. I
Really isn't that odd. I knew a couple of kids who did that at my school, mainly because they couldn't stay academically eligible. Transferred to other rival schools.
Also, Rocko Khoury basically did the exact same thing up in Traverse City with Central and West.

Jesse, I have mentioned this before. He left SFS because he thought he might struggle getting into the NCAA with his current status there. So he went to CCHS which has a LD program that he could excel in and help him get into the NCAA. It wasn't because he was sick of losing.
um
Ill be that guy and ask, did he beat you up or something?
uh....whatever
better than mundane ejaculation man.
I SAID "M" AS IN MANCY...
Yeah
I'd hate for him to go to Michigan as well. World class education, once in a life time athletic opportunities, and getting to play and be apart of the greatest and most storied football program in the country. I couldn't even begin to imagine how horrible that would be for him.
uhh....
It's not that, I just question his commitment not only to Michigan but to any college.

I for one
Appreciate the info and your opinion. I also appreciate how tastefully you declined your support for the prospect while not smearing him. I don't know why anyone would be down on that. You should be plussed.

We already
have a great safety in Dymonte Thomas so bringing in another top safety from the state of Ohio would be pretty nice. I know Dymonte is a 4 star in the early scout top 100 for juniors. He is also a good RB for Marlington, but I would think safety where he ends up.
21 years of coaching and every senior who stayed had at least 1 big ten title... That is what " Those who stay will be champions" will really get you Ohio native Bo Schembechler.

I also don't think Shane Morris should come to Michigan. We don't need any future first round draft picks here.

No matter how you look at it this staff seems to understand that you have to build quality depth and are doing so . . . . now for that Dunn kid!!!!

Plus he's got the speed to play corner, I think the only reason he is projected as a Safety is because he's tall and has hitting power.

If the coaches want him, then I'm not worried about it. I was never really a fan of my high school, but I am certainly a fan of my college. Loyalty works in weird ways. He could end up all blue in the GBOD mold. Once again, I defer to the coaches' judgment.

One strange thing is no one has commented on the link to the kid's facebook page. I thought that was a no-no? Or is that just links to other users' facebook?
To the OP: Jayme's a good kid
To the OP: Jayme's a good kid who did have issues at SFS. He's in a better position now and at a school and with a coach that gets kids into DI programs.
Be careful about citing "character" when your school is now seen as the dirtiest program around with a coach who resigned partly because of the type of program he ran and the consistent losing that has occured in his two years as coach.
Look, Don't See Listen, Don't Hear The More You Engage, The Longer You Survive
he looks pretty good
so maybe we can chalk up his decisions to being 15-16 yrs old and wanting a fresh start.
I totally understanding
I totally understanding people saying that he left to get a better chance to become a D-1 athlete. And I totally agree but thats not the situation. SFS turns out many D-1 athletes as well. It wouldn't bother me if he didn't badmouth his former school like he has. That's my issue.

Kid did the right thing by going to rival
At 17 years old life is tough enough without trying to fight to change the system. Look at it this way. You live in the City of Detroit. Nothing works. Every other day your home or business is broken into and the police take forever to respond because they are over worked. Schools are failing. Do you fight to make things better or do you move to the suburbs. Judging by the population loss people are moving to the suburbs. I am sure this kid wanted his old school to be better at football. I am sure he wanted his old coaches to be better at coaching. I am sure he had lots of friends. Guess what? He chose to go to a school he knew was better in football because he wanted to go D1 instead of hoping to go to D1 with an inferior program. It is why parents move to the wealthier suburbs when they become successful, it is why parents send kids to Catholic schools and private schools. Good for him. He is making it happen for him as opposed to hoping for it to happen with things he can't control
