A few minor recruiting notes (Dunn edition)

Submitted by Gobluegr on
The coaches are reportedly visiting Armani Reeves (via Penn State 247 twitter) and they are trying to get an official set up. Sam Webb talked about it this morning.... And Brionte Dunn is taking an official to Michigan next weekend according to Bill Greene at scout.com.

I think we have filled all of our major needs except for a TE.  There are some positions that we may lean towards adding more depth but for the most part i think we will be looking for best available at any position.  We are in awesome position  for some amazing kids from here on out i think its just gonna be adding big names to an already great class.  I cant wait to see how Hoke and Company finish down the stretch.

I want Hokemania to continue his focus on Defense. Dunn is Pryor all over again. He drags it along as if he is sincere and has no intention. Go after Boehm for the O line and D up the rest of the way.

Even Voldemort would agree that Mr. Plow should be referred to as "he who must not be named."

Regardless of nomenclature, it is a good idea to tip him when he delivers your pizza.

He came out and said that he will not be able to finish his school work by December.  So that gives more time and pressure.  So we really won't know what he is going to do for a while potentially.

  He had a couple more weeks to finish up some school work, but something must have fallen through.  He was quoted today saying he's happy that the pressure is relieved somewhat since the decision date isn't firm until February, and that he will be unable to graduate early.

 

  I'd give you some actual quotes but it is paywalled and I hear it's a no-no to do that ... so.  Yeah.  We may not know soon.  Kinda sucks.  But maybe that leaves us open for a surprise 'Hello' post.

1DB, 1RB, 1WR, 1OL, and still one possibly to TE. Dunn is a big deal because he is a OSU commit, and converting him to the good side will deliver a first below to urban liar on his new job and sets the tune for the recruiting battle between the two programs in the coming years. And the best part is: there is nothing to loss for us. Liar knows it and hoke knows it, and that's why both of them are pulling all the strings for this.

Hankins part II, Electric Boogaloo.  I really don't get why the Michigan staff would not want a dominate interior DL given our needs there.  And yes I think we still have a huge need there even with 5 DL in this class.

The recruitment of Dunn may not be as big of a deal to a lot of people but if the coaches didn't think it was a big deal they wouldn't be recruiting him so hard.  I understand no one has said the coaches don't think it's a big deal but everyone knows that landing him is not just gaining an elite recruit but taking one away from ohio.  We all know this, I just don't think everyone understands how important that is and what mesage it sends to the state of ohio.  Hoke & Co. mean business.  If Dunn comes to Michigan it will open some serious doors down in ohio, literally.

Sam Webb just said on his Recruiting Roundup sement that now Dunn will not be an early enrollee.  He said Dunn would still like to be an EE, but won't be able to get things in order in time to make that happen.  As a result, he says Dunn can take a little bit more time in the deliberation process and there's a chance he could wait until February to make a decision.
