TomVH: Quick Dallas Crawford Update (Positive)
I spoke with a family member of commit DB Dallas Crawford after the game, and he told me Dallas is likely to stick with Michigan. Crawford still sees the opportunity to play early, and likes Michigan as a school. That's essentially what his coach told me a few weeks ago.
I was also told by Crawford's family member that WR Sammy Watkins step father thinks Sammy might back out on his Clemson commitment. I don't know if he would still consider Michigan if Rich Rodriguez is fired, so we'll have to wait and see. I don't believe that Sammy is qualified yet either, so he'll need to figure that out too.

Thanks for a breath of sanity TomVH. We all needed that after a shitty day like today.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:43 PM ^
But did u miss "likely: My son likely will clean the gutters tomorrow since the snow is melted in Jan............
January 1st, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
Defines "likely" as:
having a high probability of occurring or being true : very probable
January 1st, 2011 at 6:37 PM ^
At least there is some good news to come out of the day.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:39 PM ^
This and the improvement of my hangover are the only positives I've had in the last few hours.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:39 PM ^
This is good to hear. I think we've got a diamond in the rough with Crawford.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:39 PM ^
+ It's from TomVH
+ A recruit wasn't deterred from the game today or if a cc will happen
+ it's actual news!
January 1st, 2011 at 6:39 PM ^
is always good news in a bad situation.
Go Blue
January 1st, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
I figured one of those Clemson wide receivers would decommit at some point. Their recruiting class is ridiculous.
January 1st, 2011 at 7:37 PM ^
Someone posted on Dallas Crawfords Facebook status when he said that he is still solid, they said "Now go get sammy". And Dallas said "Go get sammy for what? He happy with Clemson, my homeboy is not goin nowhere but Clemson".
January 1st, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
Especially considering Parker is gone and has basically no one (Tajh Boyd) backing him up. Klempson seems to always pull good recruits despite consistent mediocrity. I just looked it up and their last conference championship was in 1991!
January 1st, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
Thanks Tom. Glad for some good news today. I will toast to keeping Dallas and having a chance with Sammy.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
Tom is like the sun coming out after a thunderstorm!! Bless u man!
January 1st, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
Thank you TomVH, i love me so actual news!
January 1st, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
Some good news to help smooth over the rough couple of days ahead.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
Thank you TomVH, i love me some actual news!
January 1st, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
If there's ever a time in which we need some GOOD news, it's now!
January 1st, 2011 at 6:45 PM ^
looking for a second.
Thanks for the good news Tom.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
Tom is like Santa Claus....
Tom always brings us great news.
Thanks Tom!
January 1st, 2011 at 6:51 PM ^
Tom is real and all
January 1st, 2011 at 7:23 PM ^
like he said, just like Santa
January 1st, 2011 at 7:56 PM ^
I really don't want TomVH to see me when I'm sleeping, or know when I'm awake.
January 1st, 2011 at 8:59 PM ^
Easily the creepiest Christmas carol out there.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
Tom do you think Watkins to Miami now that Golden is making a huge push on recruits HE wants now that he is coach?
January 1st, 2011 at 6:48 PM ^
Tom..today sucked, but you have provided a slight ray of sunshine.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:48 PM ^
Was seeing a TomVH thread at the top of MGoBoard when I hit refresh.
Great timing for some real and quite positive news.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
Thanks Tom. Just curious about big Tony. I thought of him as a Michigan (not RR) commitment. Do you think he's still all in?
January 1st, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
I just tweeted this, but Tony told me tonight that he will likely stay committed.
Of course all of this depends on a lot of different factors. If there is a coaching change, there needs to be mutual feelings from both sides. If there isn't a coaching change, then it doesn't matter.
January 1st, 2011 at 6:51 PM ^
Is watkins a pro style type WR recruit? Obviously a bunch think he would be excellent in RR system, and I'm curious if there were to be a CC would he still be viable?
January 1st, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
He's a top five receiver in the country so just about anyone will take him.
January 1st, 2011 at 10:02 PM ^
A pro style WR recruit? What could you possibly mean by that?
January 1st, 2011 at 6:56 PM ^
Looking ahead: four new guys in the secondary (Crawford, Countess, Brown, and Hollowell); the return of Woolfolk, freshmen this year are sophmores next year. This is good news especially with Countess committing last week, the secondary is looking good (or at least better) next year.
Crawford is obviously getting good advice as he should get instant playing time with Michigan next year.
January 1st, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
Wait... good news?
Huh. So THAT'S what that is like.
January 1st, 2011 at 7:14 PM ^
Just want to let everyone know that Dee Hart was at the Bama game today. Obviously the issue is virtually moot if RR leaves. But I'd say Bama is in the lead for him now. Especially with Crowell leaning UGA.
January 1st, 2011 at 7:14 PM ^
So I wasn't afraid to read it.
January 1st, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
Tom VH is the godfather of good news in the midst of disaster.
January 1st, 2011 at 7:20 PM ^
January 1st, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
IMO Vaughters will give us a look. Academics are incredibly important for him (not just lip service) and we are an elite academic school that is considerably closer to home for him.
January 1st, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
Some insiders say that Vaughters and Sarao (both highly rated MLBs, something we direly need) will go where Harbaugh goes. Man forget what it feels like to get a top MLB (yes Kellen Jones is a good LB, but I think he'll play OLB instead of MLB).
January 1st, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
I just want some kind of D in defense.(dreads dallas both)
January 1st, 2011 at 7:57 PM ^
Thank you Tom for restoring some good news on a bad day. The only other good news was that I was able drink a lot of beer today at the game (too bad it was bud light, here we go)
January 1st, 2011 at 7:58 PM ^
Honestly for the future, I'm much more worried about the dline than the secondary. Good news with Crawford anyway though
January 1st, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
I never thought I'd see the day when we discussed being "less worried" about the future of the secondary under any circumstance.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:55 AM ^
Since I knew TomVH would have some positive news! Thanks for the info TomVH!
