Great Quote from Jaron Dukes's Head Coach on Urban Meyer

Normally I don't copy and paste from paywalled articles but I thought this quote was too good not to share.

"I think Michigan's just a little bit earlier than some of the other schools in offering a few of the 2013 kids," Marion-Franklin football coach Brian Haffele explained. "Michigan knows that they have to get in a little earlier on a Columbus kid, or even an Ohio kid in general. You know and I know that if Michigan offered him, Urban's gonna come in and offer him."

We've been making fun of Urban for seemingly offering whoever Hoke and Co. offers but it seems as if this HS head coach, and potentially others, are starting to catch on and legitimize this criticism of Meyer. I found this quote hilarious and thought that it was my MGoBlog duty to share it, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Full credit for the article and quote go to Tim Sullivan (Our Tim) of TheWolverine.com of the Rivals' Brand. Link to article:http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1330224

Note: This quote is a pretty small percentage of the article so I'm not taking too much from it.

Yep, that's Simba made out of a pineapple.

I get the feeling that if Meyer doesn't hurry, he'll be offering a Michigan commit.

Seriously, I don't think we should ridicule anyone with following up offers to whoever Hoke and co. just offered.

It's conceivable that there is a scenario where school A offers a recruit to prevent that recruit from going to school B even if school A does not need said recruit ("does not need" is putting it simply).

Ummm I think Tressel offered Hankins before RR did.  RR told him he had to lose weight first or something to earn his offer

Hankins played significant minutes in every game as a true freshman. How was he not needed?

Galileo was also chastised.

Hankins should be wearing a winged helmet. I don't think RR gets enough credit for his recruiting successes, but he and his staff really screwed up in not getting Hankins here. All they needed to do was to offer him but tell him privately that the offer was based on him improving his conditioning. If his conditioning was good enough to play as a pure freshman for OSU, it was certainly good enough for Michigan.

I like your interpretation of the quote, and I believe that Urban is watching who we offer. However, I bet he means that Dukes is a great talent, and that other powerhouses are about to catch on, and subsequently offer...

I'd take that bet against you because to me it's obvious that he knows Urban is going to offer-follow Michigan.  He did the same thing at Florida with Alabama.

You sir hit the nail on the head. This is standard um's practice. Ask those who follow southin recruiting closely and they will say the same.
