TomVH: LB Sean Duggan Commits to Boston College

Submitted by TomVH on

Ohio LB Sean Duggan committed to Boston College. It makes sense since he goes to a Jesuit high school, and has teammates at BC. Michigan was doing some things right with him, but it wasn't enough.

Best of luck to Sean at BC.  I imagine we may have gotten wind of this before we offered Morgan.

Tom, any thoughts on how our recent play will affect recruiting?  Let's be honest, every week our coaches becomes less secure.  I will guess to say that commitments will be tough to collect at the moment.

This is the exact thing I woke up thinking about this morning . . . how will this 3rd loss affect recruiting???  I calmed down overnight - the team is still 5-3 and in contention for a bowl, plus a win over Ohio State (no matter how unlikely) would be monsterous.  But Michigan has several big-time recruits that are "holding out" to see how the season progresses and I'm starting to worry as the weeks pass.  Having to start over with a new head coach with new recruits like we did 3 years ago will be tragic in my book.

I don't know about Mike Jones but Marvin was hyped up as a beast during his recruitment. He needs to step up. I would also like to see Furman put his front foot forward. The way our LB's have played I think Kellen Jones and/or Morgan and/or Frost (assuming the latter 2 sign) could very well see time on the field next year...By the way, and this is kind of off topic, does this team even blitz anymore????

I was wondering if Michigan's relationship with Duggan was what triggered the Desmond Morgan offer.  The timing of the two things might be more than coincidental.

But I like Morgan better for that spot anyway. The fact that he plays qb suggests a lot and he seems more athletic and fluid than Duggan. Lastly, he is from Michigan and grew up a Michigan fan, those things are important for future recruiting and relationships with local schools

Morgan did not play LB during the game of his that I attended this year, but as a quarterback, he consistently was able to hit the crease and gain at least five yards. Very decisive and strong, even if he isn't incredibly fast (although he did not have any long runs to see his straight-line speed). The defense he played against was less than spectacular, but he was very quick and agile between the tackles and had the acceleration to turn the corner. Also of note: he wasn't tackled backwards once, except for a sack. He always laid the hit onto the defender and seemingly (and frustratingly, it was our Homecoming) always fell forward for a few yards.
