Looking back: Alex Malzone vs. Tyree Jackson
https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/tyree-jackson-qb-muskegon-mona-shores-edit
It’s interesting to look back on the comments to the post I made over four years ago....would’ve looked good in the Maize & Blue.

Also, Dungeons and Dragons is rad.
January 5th, 2019 at 7:15 PM ^
Thank you Brady Hoke.
January 5th, 2019 at 7:19 PM ^
Interesting he is getting some pub.. He probably still would not have taken a meaningful snap at UM. Good for him, though.. and I guess good for you too?
January 5th, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
Great post. I confess to having a great affinity for thoroughly-linked "I told you so" posts on the internet.
And in words I have never before written, thank you for that link to Bleacher Report.
January 5th, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^
You must be so proud of yourself!!
January 5th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
O LET DO IT!
(obligatory every time I see you on the board)

Looks like Demar Dorsey has a career going in the Indoor Football League:

Where's GORD? You need to hit him with his i told you so remark. Gold!
January 5th, 2019 at 7:30 PM ^
It's ffunny reading all the Malzone love in that thread.
January 5th, 2019 at 7:50 PM ^
I know, that was so funny indeed and the sanctimonious attitudes from so many of the posters on that thread, sheesh.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
Sounds like every thread on here taking about every commit.
January 5th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
I was also surprised by the volume of Malzone love I just saw in that thread. Of course I can say this after the fact, but I thought he was an uninspiring commit. I was expecting Harbaugh to move on from the commit after taking the job. When the offer wasn’t rescinded, I then expected Malzone to go elsewhere because I thought it was obvious, with Rudock, O’Korn, and Gentry, that Harbaugh had no intention of ever playing him.
January 5th, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
A quick google search shows Malzone was 0-4 passing and no yards rushing for the MAC Miami Redhwaks in 2018, uninspiring commit is an understatement.
I had a feeling he wasn't gonna be much either, when he was a recruit. 2014 was a dark time and even though we need to get over a couple of humps with Harbaugh, it's comical to see people bitching about our coach now.
January 5th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
What was the incentive to let go of him? We were going to have a super small class no matter what and there was no guarantee he’d be able to get another Qb in the class. Plus, Malzone was an early enrollee IIRC. Would have been a dick move to rescinds his scholarship a week before he started classes.
January 5th, 2019 at 8:32 PM ^
Dude didn’t even start at Miami OH. Maybe next year (if he has eligibility)
January 5th, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
To be fair to the staff at the time, everybody whiffed on Tyree. He went to Buffalo. His only P5 offer was UConn. Sometimes guys just blow up.
January 5th, 2019 at 8:53 PM ^
Even more impressive when you take into account the fact that UConn isn't a P5 school.
January 5th, 2019 at 10:49 PM ^
You are correct. Was thinking the Big East was still a thing at the time.
January 5th, 2019 at 10:53 PM ^
Michigan never looks at guys from the Muskegon area. They only get interest from WMU and MAC schools, occasionally MSU and more recently LSU and Penn State. Muskegon and Mona Shores turn out good players...
January 6th, 2019 at 12:18 AM ^
Who have we missed out on? There’s no one currently in the NFL from Muskegon, per Pro Football Reference.
January 6th, 2019 at 7:43 AM ^
Muskegon just isn’t really a hotbed of talent. Last player I remember being a priority was Terrance Taylor.
January 6th, 2019 at 7:53 AM ^
Ummm, how could you forget about the infamous Ronald Johnson?
January 5th, 2019 at 9:14 PM ^
What's weird is that the only other comment he made since was in relation to a random thread he started on Marvin Bagley's committment to Duke.
I get that people are sometimes weird and have busy lives, but what exactly causes a fan on a fan board to make a random recruiting post every 2-3 years?
Alternately, what is the true connection between the OP, Jackson, and Bagley? This has all the makings of a good mystery novel.
January 5th, 2019 at 10:32 PM ^
Came here 2014. Told us all bout Tyree. Was laughed at. Anger simmered for 5 years. Proven right. Returned. Vanished til 2022
January 5th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
I’d rather have Shea...
January 5th, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Tyree should stay at Buffalo, I think he has a lot to lose if he tries to go to a big time school. Maybe he could go to a school like WVU.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Scared money don't make money.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
I agree. He stays at Buffalo, has a decent senior season, and the draftniks hype him as a Josh Allen (tall, raw, big arm) or as the next Ben Roethlisberger coming out of the MAC and the dude is probably a 1st or 2nd round pick if he has a solid season
If he goes to P5 school and (in my opinion) gets exposed for what he is - which is a not very good QB - then he could really tank his draft stock
January 6th, 2019 at 3:02 AM ^
Worked out well for the Washington St. QB this season.
January 5th, 2019 at 8:06 PM ^
Would’ve never played. If he did, Harbaugh would have him going 12-20 for 145 yards.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:15 PM ^
If that
January 5th, 2019 at 8:28 PM ^
I saw him play against Army this year. I'm not qualified to evaluate him, but he played a decent game and made some throws despite the loss. Hard to say if he'd be better off playing against tougher competition in a new system, or lighting it up by coming back to Buffalo.
January 5th, 2019 at 8:36 PM ^
Waiting to say I told you so for 4 years. Wow. Legendary.
January 5th, 2019 at 8:37 PM ^
I remember when we were hyping up Ricardo Miller like he was going to be the next Jerry Rice ??♂️
January 5th, 2019 at 9:03 PM ^
Dude give it time, it’s gonna happen.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
Man that was SO TRUE!
My Buddy is a Clemson grad and a huge fan as you can imagine. He made the really good point, and one that makes my cry Maize and Blue tears, that essentially all of their "big time recruits" hit and hit to what they believed their potential to be. Essentially, no major busts at all, or not even close to enough to see that as a trend. Their trend is they get highly rated recruits that come in and play like highly rated recruits.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:17 PM ^
It's called coaching.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:51 PM ^
Nah. Clemson is just insanely lucky year in and year out and Michigan is the opposite.
/s
January 5th, 2019 at 11:14 PM ^
I’m calling bullshit on that, even though you’ve built in an escape by saying “Essentially” twice so you can dismiss a few busts. I don’t know Clemson that well but from 2015-2017 classes I see several top 100 composite guys I’ve never heard of. Everyone has busts. Shockingly, the better you recruit the more “busts” you have, because if you have a high percentage of your team as highly ranked guys with an average attrition rate, guess what, most of the guys leaving are “highly ranked.”
January 5th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
SalvatoreQuattro really showed his ass in that one. Magnus came off in retrospect as smart and reasonable. And Putingrad came out smelling like a rose.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
The Teflon Tsar.
January 6th, 2019 at 9:58 AM ^
Thanks!
January 5th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
I’m not going to lie, I like your style. Last year around this time I posted that I think Michigan should be going after Chris Olave. He was late rising 3 Star WR. Only a 3 star because he had to sit out his junior season for transferring high schools. Michigan never pushed for him and OSU came in late and got him.
All he did in The Game as a true freshman was catch 2 td’s and block a punt. I’m screaming I told you so at Harbaugh through the tv and of course he acted like he couldn’t hear me. I wanted to make an I told you so post, but I decided I would just mention it every time I get a chance.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:07 PM ^
They went after Olave, he chose trash.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:11 PM ^
We absolutely wanted Chris Olave. As the poster above said, he picked Ohio State over Michigan.
January 5th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
You could just Twitter machine this post to Harbaugh.
January 6th, 2019 at 12:23 AM ^
But had Olave come to UM, he wouldn't have been covered by Brandon Watson in The Game...
January 6th, 2019 at 7:10 AM ^
And he would've had about 6 catches total on the season in the receiver-oriented UM offense.
