Bad news on Dorsey

(Behind pay wall)
Don't shoot the messenger, but according to rivals sources,
"Dorsey’s “back-up plan” is one he’s almost definitely going to have to pursue"
and
"view it as a ‘very unexpected bonus’ if Dorsey ends up in Ann Arbor, because it’s not likely."
This isn't looking good. The article doesn't mention any reasons why he isn't coming but it seems as though this is something he, and his coaches, have known from the beginning.
Sorry for the dong punch
Good thing we have Cullen Christian coming in.
Ugh, well I guess hope isn't lost yet.
Cullen Christian, IME, just became the most important recruit for the 2010 season.
and the dong punches just keep coming....
Oh, nice, I was looking for a nice Dong Punch.
will be champions.

I wish I could one-line like you. How do you do it?
I don't want any top 20 prospects anyway.
The stars are aligned against Coach Rod, it seems. I hope he can weather this storm and they make a movie about all the bullshit he has to deal with.

The Big Ten Network just called and they want the rights...
Rotel is going to sponsor!

Can't have Rotel without Velveeta!!
i take everything they say with a grain of salt. they're so late/wrong on so much it's hard for me to trust them
With the shit this guy has already had to put up with (Birkett, etc.) I hope he enrolls and gets a chance to shut them up with his play on the field.
I guess the good news had lasted too long... well at least he's not going to Florida?
Oh let do it later?!?!
So assuming he doesn't make it, what are the chances he joins the team in '11?
Slim to none. Michigan does not have a favorable past with JUCO players.
as it is "nonexistent."
Of course Saint Lloyd Carr, Michigan's Godlike Head Coach in the good-old-days-before-Rich Rod-ruined-everything-ya-know, recruited Austin Panter as a JUCO transfer in 2006-07.
If Dorsey goes to Plan B, a/k/a Fort Scott (KS) Community College, he couldn't be on the field as a transfer to Michigan until 2012, right?
He could play in 2011 because he transferred from a JUCO not another Div 1 team.
you.
April 22nd, 2010 at 11:27 PM ^
Can you transfer out of a JUCO after just one year though?
I think you have to play there for two years.
I also got neg-banged to all hell when I reported this a couple of weeks ago according to a source of mine. Which I guess is acceptable given that Raback's info was positive and mine was negative.
You can transfer out as soon as you've raised your academics enough that your D-1 school will enroll you.
If he isn't going to end up in AA in '10 because of M admission standards, then yes, he could spend one year at a JUCO and raise his grades to the desired level. If the problem is qualifing with the NCAA academic standards then he will have to spend two years and 'graduate' from a JUCO......I'm not sure what situation Dorsey is in.
Don't forget Russell Shaw, the wideout who played in 1996 and '97.
lol.
o let do it later.
hahahaha.
i love it.
willful denial on this one.
:swears profusely:
Where there's smoke, there's fire. Dorsey will never play a down at Michigan.
Not off to a good start I see...
Sorry, but the writing has been on the wall with this one for some time now.
Think the Freep and other Detroit reporters didn't know they were firing fastballs at RR's head on signing day with regard to Dorsey?
This one is over.
Truth. Try it. Sets you free.
they weren't asking him any questions about his eligibility...i'm not sure what you're talking about
Welcome to MGoBlog, here's a down-arrow to help you properly settle in.
pretty sure KoB has met teh negbang before.....
Well aren't you just a badass now
I believe the term is "E-thug". Not that you are one, uniqenam. I just like this picture.

Hi, KoB.
^ STOP SAYING THAT!!
DENIAL IS YOUR BEST FRIEND!!
p.s. - sorry for the caps.
a little emotional right now.
Can't they just find someone else from his high school to take the SAT/ACT for him? I mean, if Memphis can orchestrate something like that, I'm sure Michigan can!
/sarcasm - for those who couldn't tell
Also, my life was much simpler and easier when I didn't track recruiting. I would just read a few newspaper articles and see who the coaches are getting fired up about either in the fall practices or during redshirt seasons, and would decide they were our best up-and-coming hopes for success. Now my emotions rise and fall with this kinda stuff. Damn.
Life seemed so much easier BB (Before blog).
I turned the TV on for the opening game and I saw either developed backups ready to replace last year's seniors or stupid awesome freshman.
Now I know way too much about them months in advance of their theoretical Big House debut and I stress about most all of them during the process...
truest statements I've read on MGoBlog. You invest so much interest into players before they even reach Michigan or hell, even before they sign their L.O.I.
If true, sorry to hear but good luck to Dorsey next year and hope to see you at Michigan Winter Semester.
If it happens great - if not...
Next!
I've heard stories from a Detroit Metro area math teacher that had a UM prospect in his class where this type of thing happened.
Ugh, we need him this fall.....hope he can take care of his business so he can get up here.
How about we just wait until this actually happens. Remember last year the daily threads about Turner? Lets pray, take a deep breath and wait.
All that vitrol and bull from the Freep for nothing. Damn it Sean Parker, why.
Does anyone know what the NCAA rules are regarding him taking summer classes and transferring into Ann Arbor over the summer? Is that possible?
...let study!
Maybe he needs to start saying, "Let's go accomplish the task at hand." It sounds like better sentence structure and vocabulary could only help him.
he just speaks alot more efficiently than you do.
