David Dawson Shines At Columbus Camp

Take what Magnus has to say with a grain of salt.

I'm loving everything I see from this staff's ability to identify talent.  Their opinions trump the dogmess out of those from some dude who's seen the kids less than the staff has.

LTT seemed the roughest or least polished of the OL recruits of the bunch. To really excel one has to gain a mastery of the ability to play the position with proper technique and cerebral play. Tougher to gain that or show that on the camp fronts, especially if he is out-of-shape (hey who isn't cause I am). Camps aren't always the greatest indications of future playing ability. Clearly LTT is big and has the ability to fill out and refine his ability to play the OT. Also, bigger guys in high school do not really need to rely on technique to succeed but once the playing field is levelled in college then one has to learn or just fade into mediocrity (see Campbell). I am not too worried about LTT; we will see how he develops down the road. If the coaches were concerned then they would have pursued someone else more but they wanted LTT and, thus, so do I.

I agree. A little worried but your points validate why we shouldn't be too concerned.

You are exactly right... I am not a tweeter or twitter follower... and I feel much better reading that his pro-Michigan tweets far outnumber his cryptic UF teases.  Thank you for that information.

Edit: And I suppose the UF coaches could have visited on the premise of recruiting/scouting any number of recruits at that powerhouse, it just bothers me because surely they have to have permission to be on campus, and if they were there specifically to scout Dawson, then the fact that they were given permission to be there implies some interest.

Oh, so we're not allowed to read into tweets regarding recruiting?  Got it.

No one is overreacting here at all.  But recruits often use twitter to communicate about their recruiting, so if we're going to read into the positive stuff, shouldn't we read into the worrisome stuff as well?  It's not like anyone is bad-mouthing Dawson or acting like the sky is falling.  Just asking if anyone knew anything further. 

I don't have the twitter, and I've heard it. I didn't say I can confirm anything, but when these things are discussed, there's often time some truth behind it. That doesn't mean anything will come from it, but this happens with recruits sometimes.

Last year this happened with Terry Richardson and Pharaoh Brown. Richardson decided not to visit elsewhere and stayed blue, and Brown took off. I'm not saying I think Dawson will decommit, but compared to a guy like Morris or LTT, he's probably one to keep an eye on.

Lots of girlfriends like to flirt with other guys, and most of them wouldn't cheat. It doesn't mean it doesn't make you nervous.
