EJ Levenberry Jr. possible de-commitment

Deveon Smith is our every down back in this class.  Thomas Rawls is also an every down back and will be a Soph.  

BPA?  You might have to provide something to back that up.  His rating have done nothing but slide since he was first ranked.  He's good, but with the LBs we've got and the number of spots left, I have to question whether he's BPA material.

Yeah but we can't sign players in excess of the scholarship limit. IF the coaches have been leaving a spot open for Levenberry all this time while continuing to recruit Treadwell and Green, then there may be some attrition coming that hasn't been made public yet.  

but you're thinking about it wrong.

Our latest projected class # is 25 players.  We don't even have room for that right now.  We need (I think) 4 more guys to leave the program to sign 25.  So, when someone leaves, and then we say 'oh thats one more scholly', no its not.  Thats one less player that needed to depart to even have room for our current commitments.

So for these "dream scenarios" of taking Green, LT, and Levenberry/Priest Willis/McQuay, we'd need 26 spots and for 5+ guys to leave the program.

We don't have commitments from either LT or Green. Hey I hope we land both, but how can you hold two spots when the kids haven't said they are coming? Do we take the chance of getting caught with our pants down and hold out schollys and possibly lose one or both, and also lose out on a top LB? Did they not say you better move quick to McQuay? Why not tell both the EJ is coming so you better pick your spot if you want it?

Nevertheless, I have a feeling we havent heard the end of this.

Green and Treadwell at this point.  EJ is a great player, but the other 2 fill bigger needs. 

This does not suck.  Michigan has choices and is in a good position.

Does he not feel like he's wanted anymore?  His committment is relatively fresh.  

Can you give us hints, in pig latin?  Or would the holier-than-thou Beaver and Balas take offense?

This.

I have pay access and there is a something about how EJ has a better relationship with a certain D coach up North than one down South.

Was that vague enough for the mods?

Yes

Well, when you put it the way you did, it doesn't sound bad as much as it does dumb.  I'm not calling you dumb, but losing a current player for some excitement isn't very smart for winning. 

Now, if you said you hoped for current roster players who most likely weren't going to play to move on so that we could fill his roster spot with a highly touted prospect, then that's different.  Maybe that's what you meant though, in which case it's not that bad. 

I guess hoping for Michigan football players to leave is a bad thing, but you can be OK with guys who make a decision to find PT elsewhere.

Cut the longsnapper?

That Nick create mysterious injuries and the likes and sends young men who have worked their entire lives for scholarships to Southwestern Alabama State Institute of Technology.  I like how well coached his defense is, but that's about it.

That thought of this Nick

before this one when you asked what would Nick do?

Not to also be a dick, but I didn't even think it looked good then, let alone now.

Ask this question again when a game comes down to a critical fg. Or when we are protecting a narrow lead with seconds to go and have to punt.
