Conley Taking Visits

Submitted by umuncfan11 on

Gareon Conley will visit Cincinnati tomorrow. Says he's solid to Michigan but parents want him to take a few Trips Oregon coming in Monday

 

Sounds like he was having a hell of a night too.

Massillon moving at will on Fitch early. Up 7-0 early. Billy Price being doubled. Gareom Conley needs doubled. Not able to check him

 

Gareom Conley scores again. Massillon up 21-7. Could be 35-7. Fitch D getting ripped. Conley is a stud Michigan fans.

 

And Gareon Conley just caught another TD bomb. Not a typo. Massillon pimp handing Fitch. 28-7. And they've left points out there.

 

Now we have to sit back and see what happens with that commitment. Disappointing because I think Conley is a real player.

There was no way that this class wasn't going to have at least one decommitment. It happens, all the time, relax. If he doesn't end up Blue someone else equally capable will.

Said this even when we were rolling. It ALWAYS happens. Your class in July will be missing a kid or 3 by NSD. Just a fact as teams jockey and players continue to get pursued and become curious and such. Plus, it is always scary to recruit so well before a season starts as a bad year can have many jump ship while you had them assumed as locked up with no options to replace. Also, when not running the offense you're recruiting for because of ONE player.....it can bite you. He could still come to UM but once he gets out to Oregon, it is over, IMHO. As a DB, I think Quay is our only equal option and as a WR it's LT. Could be a big loss.

I don't blame him at all.  He has lots of good options, teams will wait for him, and frankly, he probably has better options than Michigan if he's just looking for opportunities to get the ball.  If I were a big-time receiver, I'd be looking at WVU, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, etc.

Again - people need to not follow 17-year-olds this closely, because they, I don't know, change their minds all the time.  If Conley comes to UM, then that is awesome.  If not, wish the kid the best but won't think about it again.  Luckily, there is actual football to care about in the interim.

These are 17- and 18-year old kids. There have been a lot of analogies thrown around this thread, but there is a very practical problem for the coaches: if kids are looking around, then the coaches need to look around too lest there be a signing-day surprise.

I don't blame any kid that wants to look around but the coaches need to recruit a class and reserved spots are only for those people done looking around.

That's odd... I could have sworn that there were plenty of critical comments here about Al Borges and his playcalling after the Notre Dame game. And more than a few after the Alabama game too.

But aside from that, nobody is preventing you from posting your opinions and observations about anything here. You say you don't "give two shits" about people questioning you, but you also complain about getting "voted down." Those seem a bit contradictory to me.

I think part of the problem is the idiotic comment moderation scheme in place here. It's routine for entirely innocuous or reasonable comments to be labeled "trolling" or "flamebait," and "overrated" and "underrated" make no sense whatsoever. It would be far better to go back to the old simple upvoting and downvoting scheme, with some regulations in place that restrain and penalize those who gratuitously and habitually neg comments. I agree that far too many here downvote simply and only because they disagree with an opinion.

I know it's a 17 year old kid and It's his life. I get and understand all that. I'm just saying Michigan was there before anybody else even knew about him. At least call the coaches and let them know what's going on. This is eerily similar to P. Brown last year. According to Bill Greene, his parents want him to travel and his coach is against it. If Oregon's whole coaching staff is coming Monday, an offer is imminent. This is not going to end well.
