I would say no.
If a player moved out of michigan his sr year, he wouldn't be considered an in state recruit, even though his previous 3 years where all in state. As long as RM is attending a michigan school, he is a recruit from michigan. Not that it matters at all.
Id say yes...but barely. I mean he IS a Florida kid and is now in Michigan however the reason he moved to Michigan was because of UofM. So it really doesnt matter but if you want to say he's an in-state recruit just to say Rodriguez has commits from in-state stars D. Gardner, A. White, and R. Miller then so be it. IF Michigan does somehow land Dior Mathis I dont know if MSU can still claim they own in-state recruiting, Gholston being the main guy MSU did land.
It was less about wanting to claim more in-state recruits and more wondering if we'll see him ranked as the top WR in Michigan come the end of the season.
Oh, it was a legitimate question like that?
Then the answer is yes. Once he is solidified at whichever school he's at, he will be listed there in all the databases, and will be factored into state rankings on Rivals and such.
I would say no, he should still count as a Florida commit. We recruited him out of Florida and then he moved up here to get acclimated quicker. His move to Michigan this year was a result of committing. Sure he was born here, but he has played all of his HS games in Florida as of commiting, correct?
Anyways, Rivals says that we already have the top in-state WR in Hershey Jackson, but he isn't even in their top 90 WR's with a rating of 5.5.
Scout says MSU does, with Tony Lippett ranking in as the 60th best WR in the nation, perhaps having the best in-state WR isn't highly braggable.
I think we are giving in to Dantonio-spin, which has shifted the focus to the absurd. I am not going to argue who has the best Michigan WR (rated as a low three star). I'd rather argue about who got the best WR overall from any state in this country.
jeremy jackson
LOL good catch, my bad, I'll edit it out. Thanks!
I kinda like Hershey Jackson as an alternate name.
Hershey Jackson makes the grab, he's running upfield, he breaks free... what a block by Nestle Miller!
And.. Hershey squirts through the gap.
LOL thats great!
Stay classy Ann Arbor!
Oh c'mon.
But wasn't Hershey Jackson a 3- Star RB from Allendale that had a serious injury? I'm not sure if U-M was recruiting him...
Yeah, he ended up at GVSU. That is where I made the mistake from.
He's an in-state recruit (GOOD WORK RICH ON BEATING DANTONIO). But he was only in Florida for a few years. He used to live here prior to when he was in Orlando.
Clearly not- if he was, he'd be committed to MSU.
DUH.
stud wideouts from michigan like rojo go to U$C
If we'd never heard of the guy, then sometime in September he popped up on the radar and committed to UM, we'd surely call him in-state. The whole FL thing would be reduced to a simple "he used to live in FL."
I say yes he is an in state recruit. I base that on he is spending his Senior year of high school in Michigan and will be a graduate of a Michigan high school (Huron HS or wherever). Is it even official where he is going to HS?
That's one solution to the whole "in-state recruiting battle," I suppose. Just move all the top recruits here. They could call it the "National Talent Development Program," and Michigan would have an inside track on a lot of those guys. And then they'd totally be DOMINATING in-state recruiting.
Not sure how the families of all the recruits would feel about this.
Unless of course, we used the U$C/Reggie Bush example...
It's working right now for the Michigan hockey program.
How many of those NTDP players actually do come to Michigan? I though most dispersed back to where they came from for college.
Yeah, I had classes in high school with several of them, and most of them have been getting attention for way longer than they've been in Ann Arbor. Still, can't hurt.
What's the policy of a student moving into a state and what tuition he pays?
IE if a non athletic scholarship student, moved from Florida to Michigan after he was accepted to the school. Then attended and graduated from a Michigan high school with a residency of less than a year. Would he pay in state or out of state tuition?
I'll go with whatever the answer to that is.
When I moved out of state (to North Carolina), I had to pay the out of state tuition for one year; afterward I applied for in-state residency and I was later granted it. I don't know if it works different in Michigan.
It all depends on the schools individual policy. For example, Chciago city colleges state that if you have lived in the city of Chicago for atleast 30 days prior to the first day of classes you are eligiblefor in-district tuition. I think most larger universities state you have to have lived in the state for a minimum of 1 yr before being able to apply for in-state tuition.
He goes to a school in the state of Michigan, so by definition he is.
Stop buying into the press and Dumbantonio hype. Michigan recruits the players it wants and always has. How many players from the state of Michigan played significant roles on the 97 NC team? Jon Jansen, Rob Renes, Sam Sword, and maybe Chris Floyd.
Besides, if Miller isn't the Jeremy Jackson is so either way we have it covered.
Sigh, again this has nothing to do with Dantonio. It was just a thought that came into my mind while reading recruiting ratings for Michigan.
