Conley decommits
Gareon Conley has decomitted as being reported by various people on the twittersphere. Mattison was at his school today. Commence death and dispair.
Wow RT @Miles11W BREAKING: Gareon Conley confirms to me he has de-committed from #Michigan. Will take an official to#OhioState.
Also hearing that he will take an OV to OSU, Cincinatti, and here. All is not completely lost.

Why does she always fucking answer your phone calls but not mine?!?

I'm not even going to tell you what your wife said to me.

They probably think that it is quesadila.

It's a twist on regular enchiladas. En"chill"adas. They're actually filled with ice cream.
And it's no wonder he's not concerned about anything else tonight. They sound delicious.

In America, it's enchilladas. Get off my soil.
November 27th, 2012 at 7:13 PM ^
As much as I hate to say it, I think Americans have more pride in their ignorance than any other country.
November 28th, 2012 at 2:46 AM ^
Damn right, we are the best at everything.
November 27th, 2012 at 4:45 PM ^
Well I was just informed that there is nothing to eat in the PGB house for dinner tonight so I'm desperately hoping that my wife changes plans after learning of this decommitment.
November 27th, 2012 at 4:42 PM ^
It's one thing for a kid to change his mind when he has a bunch of offers from day 1, but this feels like....thanks for holding a spot for me and helping my recruiting ranking blow up given the reputation of your program. Now let me see if I can further leverage this, even though you guys discovered me and were behind me from day 1. Feels a bit like UM got used here.
So it goes with recruiting I suppose.

I wish this were the case, but the idiots will continue to be idiotic.
November 27th, 2012 at 4:44 PM ^
November 27th, 2012 at 4:45 PM ^
It ain't over until it's over. Let him explore other options. If we still have a spot for him down the road, welcome him back with open arms.
November 27th, 2012 at 4:45 PM ^
Now I know who will be in future posters getting burned by Michigan receivers.

For the former third best corner in our class he sure causes a lot of hub-bub
November 27th, 2012 at 5:00 PM ^
A lot of people (including me) disagree that he was the third-best corner in the class.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:11 PM ^
I guess it depends on whether you like Stribling or Conley more as a prospect.
November 27th, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
Frustrating...That's all...

I am officially not clicking on recruiting posts anymore. The only day I care about from this day forward as it relates to recruiting is signing day.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:27 PM ^
Doubt it

November 27th, 2012 at 5:38 PM ^
What Knickerbocker24 said, he just said it better than me.
November 27th, 2012 at 6:36 PM ^
And look who's back already
November 27th, 2012 at 7:26 PM ^
I came to check up on you, not Gareon Conley's commitment.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:19 PM ^
This would be heartbreaking but.... Mattison has shown to be more than capable of making the defense as a whole much greater than the sum of individual parts from a talent perspective. Even if Conley isn't replaced by someone as talented, I have no doubt whoever ends up getting the corner spots in the future will be put in the best possible position to succeed.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:27 PM ^
Yeah, I thought he was leaning more to WR than DB. Someone did post that Michigan agreed to let him try WR but obviously the kid wants to see two other schools.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:33 PM ^
First of all I really hate following recuiting for a number of reasons. First, it's so easy to get caught up in the fantasy of landing highly rated recruits...I blame the media for this and telling me what to believe, because let's face it, I have never seen any of these kids actually play. Second, these kids are young and these are huge decisions for them so, for lack of a better explanation, they come & go. And, third, it's so easy to get emotionally attached to getting certain guys and allowing unrealistically high expectations set in.
But, with all that said, I really don't get Conley's decision. We were the first major offer and he took it. We looked great compared to his other options. Now there are other quality suiters. I get that. But, now he's interested in OSU. OSU has verbals from two extremely highly rated guys, higher than his rating by most, that play the same position. So, why would he think that is a better option for him? Who knows..maybe somehow we can flip Burrows lol.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:58 PM ^
Maybe he wants to play WR for them.
November 27th, 2012 at 7:08 PM ^
He just saw one program beat another program for the 9th time in 11 years, the victor being 12-0 with one of the hottest names in coaching and the loser being 8-4 with a coach who's not. Some kids are going to be affected by this sort of thing, regardless of whether they'll admit it in public or not. It's an entirely normal thing for people to want to join the winners.
November 28th, 2012 at 2:03 AM ^
Let's just call it an even 10/12. TROLL B1G OR TROLL HOME.

They just want to put stickers on their helmets.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
November 27th, 2012 at 5:49 PM ^
Don't know who he is, but if he doesn't want to go to Michigan, that just sucks for him.
November 27th, 2012 at 5:56 PM ^
in other news....Mike Stoops leaves for the death trap UK job, what does this mean for EJ Levenberry?
