Kyle Dodson Question
When Dodson commited to Wisconsin a few months ago Michigan was in his top 5. With the coaching changes at Wisconsin and Ohio, Dodson started looking again. After the news of Ohio's class being full and Michigan still being on the prowl for Offensive linemen has there been any push for Dodson? I'm not sure if he ever made it to AA for a visit and I see he is going or went to East Lansing for his last official visit.

/looks at Aquaman

I'll be surprised if OSU doesn't lock another recruit or two by NSD. Just because some newspaper says "they're full!" doesn't mean the coaches at OSU see it the same way. I'm not trying to imply that Meyer will pull some shenanigans (I'm also not trying to imply that he wouldn't), but it is possible that the OSU coaches know more about their team than a sports reporter.
January 27th, 2012 at 4:54 PM ^
Wisconsin fans are pretty confident he'll be in Madison.
January 27th, 2012 at 4:55 PM ^
OSU fans are pretty confident that he ends up with them.
I think this one is probably a tossup because of Wisky's coaching changes...otherwise, he would be a badger.
January 27th, 2012 at 5:03 PM ^
I think OSU adds 2 or 3 more, Dodson being one of them.
They are also confident in getting Davonte Neal as well.
January 27th, 2012 at 5:03 PM ^
Actually, most think he might be going to USC.
January 27th, 2012 at 4:59 PM ^
I am more interested in what's going on with Antoine Dodson.
/just kidding. I don't think there's any real chance for Michigan here. Seems Wiscy or OSU for him.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
Well done sir
January 27th, 2012 at 5:17 PM ^
I have it from a solid source that Dodson is a slight Ohio lean. He's 45% Ohio, 40% Wisky, and 27% Michigan.
January 27th, 2012 at 5:23 PM ^
January 27th, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
Maybe he is from ohio.
January 27th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
Yeah, good one dirtt.
Gobluegoblue,
Must be from ohio.
January 27th, 2012 at 5:21 PM ^
I was reading that cleveland.com article and ohio class even with having 59 scholarship football players and 23 commits does'nt have to be full. They could take 3 more recruits this year and break the 9 scolarships up over the next 2 years and be OK. I was asking this assuming Ohio class was full up and dodson obviously not that happy with Wisconsin.
January 27th, 2012 at 5:25 PM ^
Again . . . you are all making stuff up. Nobody knows. Jeez.
January 27th, 2012 at 5:41 PM ^
We get it, but you're wrong. Some people know things. Some people know a LOT of things. Following recruiting is a matter of separating wheat from chaff, but you can't be all "wheat doesn't exist."
January 27th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
You seam a little chaffed, can I rub some lotion on that?
January 27th, 2012 at 5:42 PM ^
If you don't like it, GTFO. It may come as a shock, but no one on the internet gives two damns what you say. If you don't like a thread, don't click on it. Easy enough. Don't try to be all Clint Eastwood, Lawman of the Intertubes. Go back downstairs in your mom's basement, look at that awesome pin-up of Kathy Ireland you've had since you were a wee child, and avoid procreating for the sake of humanity.
January 27th, 2012 at 5:52 PM ^
All good points. Although my point is this: threads that are nothing but pure speculation have no merit and should be avoided as they are a total waste of time. I have been coming to this website for a very long time and felt compelled to post after reviewing the countless b.s. posts regarding recruiting. What amazes me is that you are consistently wrong and yet it does not seem to alter your future behavior/predictions. That is very strange . . . Now, if you will excuse me, I have to get back to the Kathy Ireland poster and the lotion.
January 27th, 2012 at 6:21 PM ^
But you haven't read the posts, apparently. Most of them, especially those by the reputable sources on this site (Ace, aqua, etc), tell you to take from it what you will. Most of them (this one is just a question, so it doesn't count) say "this is what he said, take from it what you will."
They aren't stating it as fact. They speak to their beliefs, or thoughts, or quote a recruit. I haven't seen a "Play X is going Blue, I can just feel it" thread in a while. People in the comments may say things a little more matter-of-factly, but don't lump all recruiting news into the "hokum" category.
January 27th, 2012 at 6:54 PM ^
Ace is not a credible source, take that back.
January 27th, 2012 at 6:48 PM ^
Then take your own advice and avoid them. I don't need you telling me what to look at or what to avoid.
January 27th, 2012 at 11:43 PM ^
Obvious troll is obvious. You post the same thing time after time. Maybe you should actually contribute something valid. Just a thought.
January 27th, 2012 at 6:40 PM ^
has settled in Italy. Don't know if he still misses the midwest.
January 27th, 2012 at 7:36 PM ^
For one, OSU's class is NOT full, and Michigan was and isn't even on his radar. It's between OSU and USC right now.
January 28th, 2012 at 5:08 AM ^
Wisconsin and Ohio State are definitely in the lead for Dodson, but USC is making a very late push for him as well. I believe Lane Kiffin is visiting to him this weekend and has so far made a very good impression. I think Dodson's grandmother is going to factor a lot into his decision because she has raised him ever since his mother passed away. Chances are Dodson would like to be at a school close enough for his grandmother to see him play. There's a rumor that one of Dodson's asst. coach is still pushing him towards Wisconsin because he's a former Badger and Ohio native that never got offered by OSU. So the major pros & cons of each school is:
1. OSU - Close to home and family, but the last coaching staff didn't show him much interest
2. Wisconsin - Originally commited to here, but has since lost a good chunk of its coaching staff
3. USC - Has a proven record of send O-Linemen onto the pros, but got into the race pretty late (also extremely far away from home)
Michigan might be able to make a late push as well, but I think Dodson has solidified his top 3.
