Dallas Crawford Decommit.
http://mgorecruit.blogspot.com/ is reporting that ESPN says Dallas wil visit and decide between Miami, USC and UNC officially before making his final decision.
Dissapointing but i would not mind replacing him with a DT or a position of need. Quite a big DB class.

Oftentimes it does. But not always. Look what Dooley did at Tennessee last year. That guy was even more obscure than Hoke. You're dealing with impressionable teenagers. They can be impulsive and emotional. They get swayed for the most random-seeming reasons. Plus, some players that like Michigan but didn't like RR are out there. Imagine how many of them wrote M off due to RR's struggles and job-security. Michigan isn't Troy State. Plenty of kids will listen to Hoke. Some will jump.

The timing of Crawford's announcement (this morning) isn't a good thing given that Hoke said he would be calling each recruit last night. I'm sure Dallas was one of his first calls. How did that conversation go?
Hoke: Dallas, I love Michigan. Love it to death. This is greatest university in the world and we are building a TEAM worthy of this institution. So tell me, do you want to be part of that team?
Crawford: Is your name Rich Rodriguez?
Hoke: No
Crawford: Then I'm going to the U.

I mentioned this in a different response, but aren't we in a dead period and he can't call the recruits until tomorrow?

I believe they can call them just no in home visits during this period. I think.

You're right -- they are allowed one call per week.

Dallas told me 2 days before Hoke was hired that UM was still his #1 choice but was looking around to have a backup plan. If he truly has dropped us, obviously he doesn't feel comfortable with Hoke. I Hoke makes a strong push for Dallas, I think he'll end up in AA.
