Per twitter: Allen Trieu Canton Glenoak (OH) RB Brionte Dunn to visit #Michigan this weekend.
Presumably he will be there this weekend with the Farmington Hills Harrison trio. It's also being reported that with Ojemudia possibly close to committing to Michigan, Burbridge might not be so much of a MSU lock. This could end up being a HUGE weekend for Michigan recruiting.
EDIT: See Tom VH's response below regarding Ojemudia & Burbridge, as well as Dunn.
Even if Ojemudia commits, it might not matter with Burbridge. He reportedly doesn't have the grades to get into UM. Either way, it could still be a big weekend without Burbridge.
Can everyone stop with the grades thing. Grades are mentioned everytime this kids name comes up, its embarrassing. Plus, he has an entire year before graduation, nothing has been determined yet.
If it is a serious concern, why not bring it up? After RichRod brought in several kids who couldn't qualify, I would like to get back to recruiting "sure things" when it comes to grades. I don't like missing out on other recruits by chasing a kid that may not even qualify. It brings back bad memories of the Dorsey/Parker fiasco.
I feel like grades are a private matter. When a final determination is made as to whether he qualifies, then it might be news. Until then, I think he should have some privacy regarding his grades.
the grade issues have been described as being not that different from Thomas Rawls's. Obviously no one knows the real situation, but Michigan isn't completely unwilling to take borderline academic guys as long as they're actually qualified.
Who are you talking about? The only Parker was Sean Parker and he was an EE at Washington.
that Sean Parker was essentially going to Michigan until a last moment change of heart. (Sam Webb had even offered up his "gut feeling")

If he enrolled early, then Washington's semester starts really late. Parker changed his choice at the very last minute.
He changed "really late" only relative to his decision timeline. He committed to Washington around Christmas and enrolled early in Seattle.
Michigan fans thought they were going to get Parker up until the even of National Signing Day, and Rivals says he committed to UW on February 3, 2010.

Wow, you're totally right. I have no idea how I remembered that so poorly.
Here's my response to that in the other thread:
I added a reference to your post in my OP. Didn't mean to report twice on the FHH players.
do you have a sense of whether Dunn's interest is real? Or do you think he's just looking for backup plans in case the Vest gets the axe?
Yes, his interest is very real. His dad is very interested in what happens with the NCAA stuff, but has said the Michigan coaches have been recruiting him very hard.
I actually just talked to his dad to confirm this and they will be up there on Friday for the day.
If Burbridge commits with the other two the first place I'm going is RCMB (just to watch, not participate).
It will be great entertainment to patrol the RCMB if the other two FHH guys committ. I can't wait!
Btw, how good is this Burbridge kid? I haven't really heard much of him until lately.
He's a four star on scout. Either he or Ross are thought to be the top in-state prospect.
Probably be the best WR we get. Him or Stanford. I don't think we are landing Diggs.
Jenkins-Stone is up there, too.
Magnus, do you know when the Rivals rankings come out? I have been curious about where the current commits will be in their system.
Their Top 100 on Monday, Top 250 on Tuesday.
Thanks to both of you for the response. I'm looking forward to their rankings.
i saw a tweet yesterday from one of the rivals writers saying that their top 100 will be out monday, top 250 tues/wed, and all the 4 stars will be assigned by late next week as well.
i dont remember EXACTLY what he said, but i believe his tag name was "keithrivals" or something similar
He might be the top WR in the state. I'm not sure about Efe Scott-Emukapor but he is Rivals 250 watch guy. At this time he has no offer which is strange for a guy that might be in the top 250.
Burbridge looks like the real deal - Fred Jackson would say: "He's kinda like Mario Manningham but faster and much more physical"..... and I would agree. Check it out:
I'm sold. After watching only the first few minutes of the video I was really impressed. Certain guys are good return men and some are REALLY good. He looks like the latter. He adjusts really well to the ball and makes some difficult catches. If Tom says not to put too much into his grades, then I'm sold for sure.
Yeah, Burbridge would be a huge get if he can stick for Michigan. We really could use an impact wide out with Stones, Hemmingway, and Odoms due to graduate. I think Burbridge could possibly step in right away and make an impact for senior Denard. I would love to have this kid on the team if he can qualify. If he can't, I hate that we put guys who we put in the position to join, but fail. I hope he can make it.
You can have a DE and an RB commit together?
Blasphemy! Wormley's going to commit with Ojemudia, Dunn's going to commit with Keith Marshall, and then Burbridge is going to commit with Dorial Green-Beckham.
Like Cyclops!
GO BLUE!!
NICE!!!!!!!!!!

so pike and kiel are a package??
Ha I'm surprised this is the first joke I've read about this "combo package" of Pike and Kiel. I did actually laugh out loud when I read it though. Nice one.
"And the recruits went two by two unto the Program, each with their kind. So sayeth the Hoke."
nobody has mentioned this yet. We have made note that our recruits have been commiting in pairs: 2 OL, 2 LB, 2 TE, and 2 MOAR LB. But has anyone noticed that in each set of 2, there is one from Michigan and one from Ohio, leaving us with a perfect 1:1 ratio between the two states?

I always knew Green-Beckham was the silent commit....even though he plays offense.
I think all the hype around Green-Beckham is funny considering he hasn't even played a single down of college football yet.
Recruiting.
Hahaha you hit it on the head.
"I think the hype over (Insert 2012 recruit name here) is funny considering he hasn't played a down in college football" is probably applicable to most of the recruits we're talking about here on the MGoInterwebs...
I think all the hype around Green-Beckham is funny considering he hasn't even played a single down of college football yet.
Things that take your breath away
(1) A beautiful woman
(2) getting sucker punched by a middle linebacker
(3) Michigan's football recruitng season so far this year
regardless of whether they are offense or defense or one of each meet my approval as long as they continue to be 4* or higher.
It's a 3-star in which case he is extremely underrated, considered a "high 3 star," and deserved to be a 4 star.
Dantonio has to be freaking out. So much success last year and they are getting absolutly killed with the instate recruting. Come on Dunn you know you want to be BLUE!!!!!
