Demar Dorsey to Louisville

http://uoflcardgame.com/louisville-football-lands-a-challenge/16478

"Demar Dorsey, a highly touted safety from Lauderdale Lakes, Fla., High School, is apparently going to play football at the University of Louisville. A four-star recruit, Dorsey was pursued by several major programs before choosing Michigan over Florida State in February."

Personally, I wish him the best.  Obviously Louisville doesn't have the academic standards of Michigan.  I believe they are overlooking questionable coursework but they can make that stretch, Michigan can not.  We are the leaders and the best and we will thrive.

Go Blue!

...did the athletic department offer your cousin a scholarship to play football here?  Did your cousin sign a LOI to attend and play for Michigan?

I hope you can recognize that Demar Dorsey went further than simply having a desire to play football for us, and if his academic status was different, he would be.

My cousin didn't get an offer but he was just as qualified to play football for Michigan as Demar Dorsey, apparently.  He REALLY wanted to play here REALLY BAD, too, so maybe if some of you guys live near central Indiana, you can attend some of his games this fall.  He'd appreciate the support.  I know you guys don't know him as well as Demar, but maybe he can make a short YouTube video where his teachers and coaches can tell you what a great guy he is.  I'm sure you'll all be big fans4life.  His first name is Steven, btw,  if you want to name your first born after him.

DEMAR DORSEY FOREVER! ok, man. If you have the insight that you say you do, you would've known from the beginning that his odds of making to campus were very, very low even though he committed. Also, the coaching staff had known weeks before this went public that DD wasn't coming to Michigan. RR and staff actually went out of their way to find him a new school and Louisville was the best fit.

But geez, take a deep breath.

Your damn right Demar Dorsey forever. He'll be one of my favorite non wolverines.

I never said that I had an special insider insight. The only things that I have commented on throughout my time on MGoBlog have been on things that I've known about through personal and professional channels. Not once did I ever say that I am some Michigan Oracle. I don't know Demar Dorsey and know nothing about his personal life.

My like for Demar Dorsey stems from the fact that he is a largely talented football player who committed to play for us, but didn't get in to school.I really wanted this kid to play for us, but unfortunately he didn't get the chance.

Chill out. I don't pretend to know Demar or anything else about him.

Anything about Michigan football that I comment on and state to have insider knowledge is true. If I don't have insider knowledge, I won't say I do or comment on it.

I also consider Vance Bedford a Michigan Man

I like his swagger, I like how talented he is, and I think he's probably a good kid who got mixed up with a bad crowd from a bad area.

I hold nothing against him and wish him nothing but success at Louisville.

He will be playing for Charlie Strong, who was D-Coordinator at Florida when he originally committed to them. The relationship with the coaching staff was already there and from everything i have heard people believe Strong will be a very good coach and make Louisville a solid program again. It seems he has already put together a solid first class. I wish him the best of luck and hope Demar excels at Louisville.

When Vance Bedford was at Florida (now Louisville) he was Dorsey's primary recruiter and was to be his position coach.  IIRC, Bedford was also the one who called RichRod and told him to look at Dorsey after his decommit from the Gators.  So it's probably the best situation for Demar to go back to Strong and Bedford.

No matter what happened in his past, I hope Dorsey takes care of business moving forward and wish him the best at Louisville.

was also Dorsey's recruiter at Florida.  Bedford was also the guy that called RR and told him to take alook at Dorsey because he was starting to look around.  

Really a good situtation for Dorsey with a couple coaches around him that are familiar with his situation and are really looking to help this kid succeed.

If things don't work out with RR this year, Charlie Strong is THE guy I'd like Michigan to hire. Gimme defense please, kthx. Also, Bud Foster (DC at VaTech) would be worth a look but he;s never been HC.

No thanks to Miles. Harbaugh...oy, Stanford's defense was worse than Michigan's last year (is that even possible?); let's see after this year, but my gut says no to Harbaugh, too.

some of the players on the team.  I know for a fact that there are players who made it into Michigan in a minimum NCAA qualifying score.  Dorsey is nowhere near the minimum qualifying score, he's well above the qualifying score(2.9 and 18 ACT are nowhere near the minimum).

OK, first...take a look at your sentence I quoted and tell me if you can find the mistakes and/or my sarcasm.

Secondly, from what I recall, NCAA minimum GPA is around a 2.0.  It wasn't that Dorsey's "actual" GPA wasn't qualified, it was the "non-standard" coursework he did to make his GPA jump from under 2.0 to the very "wind-aided" 2.9 we see today.  NCAA minimum ACT score is in the 16/17 range (correct me if I'm wrong).  How is 18 "nowhere near" that minimum?

Thirdly, the reason Dorsey wasn't admitted came down to a reasonable assumption that he would not be able to succeed at UofM w/ even the easiest courseload and all the tutoring and assistance we could provide.

And, I'm sorry, judging by your posts I find it hard to believe you're in a position that would make you privy to ANY of UofM's student-athlete admission records.  So you really don't know for a fact.....do you?

I'll cheer for Demar eleven games a year.  Since my present "hometown team" is USF, though, I hope he plays well against them in a losing effort.  I think playing for Charlie Strong is great for him.  Strong has had to fight a lot of career adversity.  If he had a little less pigment he would have been a HC a long time ago, but he has handled it with dignity and class.  I think he will be a great role model for Demar.

I hope he stays at Louisville for four years and walks out with a degree.

I also live in Tampa and I will definately be going to the game when he plays the Bulls.  No fly zone doesn't sound right for the Louisville secondary though. 

Good Luck Demar!!!

This is great news for Mr. Dorsey. I'm glad to see him land at a D1 program so quickly especially after admissions jerked him around as long as they did. O Louisville Do IT, it's cool he's going program that we'll be able to watch him on TV. Good Luck Mr. Dorsey.

for not taking him, reports are he a 1.9 GPA and a 12 on his ACT going into his senior year.  If true RR never should have recruited him.  There are no legitimate set of circumstances that could see that kid get qualified in 1 year.

Good luck to the kid, and I expect him to be a stud at Louisville.  I can understand why UM couldn't let him in, and hopefully RR has learned from this and will be a little more cautious when recruiting kids on the fringe academically.

I hope the Admissions Dept., the Athletics Dept. and the Football Program take this situation seriously and plan to review/upgrade the admissions pre-screening process for athletes (particularly ones close to the line). Despite what Admissions, Brandon and Rodriquez are now all saying publicly, l still find it hard to believe that this was just the normal process at work. But, if it was, that process needs some improvement.

Yep.  Not sure why people are absolutely slamming posteres for pointing out the fact that there are other players on the team barely qualified (which I have no problem with).  I am sorry that such a fact makes the bs admissions is spinning hard to swallow, but it is the truth.  If there is an example of a Carr era kid who signed an LOI, qualified and was denied admissions to UM, I would love to know.

Well, if what you're arguing is "This never happened under Carr," what's more believable: 

That the new coach recruits differently than the previous coach vis a vis evaluating academics, offering LOIs, consulting with admissions, etc?

Or that the admissions office, after a dozen years of doing things one way with Coach Carr, suddenly started changing their standards and process just to be arbitrary?

We may never know exactly what happened in Demar's case, but we know what's different between the Carr years and RR--and it's not the admissions office.  Same staff, same director, same associate director handling athletes, same process. 

I don't have it in for RR but I tend to believe OUA & David Brandon's take on this unfortunate incident.

Glad DD could get an acceptable application in to Louisville, and I hope he does great.

that politics are at play.  Have you been paying attention to Michigan football over the last two years?  Have you not seen the out and out internal sabotage that has taken place?  If this even were taken in a vacuum, I would side with you. However, you cannot.  This has been a railroad job in all other areas and now this one too. 

The most glaring fact of the Demar Dorsey saga is that they pulled his LOI before his final senior grades were in.  Before.  I will put it on the line and say that has never happened in the history of Michigan football.  Hell, Gallon and JT Turner weren't 'in' until August.  Why was Demar denied before he even had his final grades in.  That stinks to high hell.

In any case, if the follow-up report is to be believed, Dorsey didn't turn in his completed Application. If so, how many recruits have failed to do that in the history of Michigan Football?

I think it's plausible that OUA wanted the LOI pulled a lot sooner, but that the football program was holding out hope (that things would change, or that someone at the U would back the AD over Admissions) and delayed the action.

this makes me sad still. I was really hoping for that no fly zone. Alas, maybe we can still have it yet. We do still have some awful good young prospects. Either way, I'll make sure to keep tabs on Dorsey's Louisville career. I hope he becomes an all-American and makes the NFL just to get those idiots like Mike Valenti and the Detroit Free Press to eat their words.
