Bennie Coney to UC Bearcats
This probably isn't a big surprise or disappointment to many MGoBloggers, but QB recruit Bennie Coney has commited to the U of Cincinnati according to ESPN and 24/7 Sports. I know the recruitment had cooled in recent months but he is now off the board. Seems like a pretty good get for UC and I hope things work out for Coney. With Shane Morris in the fold for 2013, the chances of taking a QB in this class seem to be getting pretty slim. I'm sure TomVH will let me know if I'm wrong, in cryptic Tom-ese that is.
There's no need to take a quarterback in the 2012 class. If Russell Bellomy redshirts, Michigan has a de facto 2012 QB.
unless they can snake-oil a really good one away from someone else late in the process. But, they probably won't have a scholarship available to do that given other needs.
If this offer list (according to Scout) is anywhere near correct - then UC just signed the the most underrated 3-star QB in the country:

(Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Florida State, UM, Notre Dame.....)
I think all of these schools were offering him as an athlete type and because he was evaluated as a quarterback he received a lower ranking than maybe he deserved.
Maybe we should use "Michigan Man" as a verb now. Like "I hope we can Michigan Man Bironte Dunn" and give him a great place to play football and get an education."
That's true, however I think we should always adjust our memes to fit the guys we have in place right now. If you force a meme into a situation where you don't have the right players, you're really going to struggle. I suggest that perhaps we use some type of hybrid system in this case until we have a few recruiting classes completed.
You need to trademark that ASAP. Is there a way to work in "Hoked" as a verb too? It could be the aftermath of Coach pointing at something.
I thought Brady Hoke replaced all the snake oil in Fort Schembechler with racks on racks on racks of M-brand BBQ sauce?
I was interested to see where this guy would end up....ghood luck bennie
Every class.
I agree with you, but Devin Fuller would be the exception. If he wants to come, I think you have to make room (maybe only one WR instead?) because of his versatility and athleticism
Now I hope he gets drafted by the Jets...
Check. Nice work.
Well if the "steal a commit from Purdue" tradition continues, we'll get Austin Appleby.
this is not a big deal at all. Much bigger commitment for UofC than loss for UofM. And probably a good decision on his part seeing all the attention that a High School Junior is getting over himself. Brady hasn't even had time to call the kid cuz his phone rings non-stop with prospects calling him and committing to MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!
