If you subscribe to the notion that the coaches were going to fill the final two spots (assuming a 3rd spot is being held for Laquon) with the BAA then I don't think Ross fits that criteria.  I think they knew they could get Ross but preferred McQuay and told him the spot was his if he committed know otherwise they would get Ross since no other BAA fit the CB spot that UM had a rilaible chance of getting.  I also think the coaches had a much better shot at Green than everyone realized before the last 24 hrs and were holding a spot for him as well at least through the BBQ if not longer.

Why do you think the offer was between McQuay and Ross. McQuay has already stated he was given until this weekend to commit. Ross gave his verbal on tuesday. They are obvi planning on someone hoping on board this weekend, otherwise they wouldn't have given him till the weekend to decide.

McQuay told them he wasn't going to make a decision by this weekend. After that, there was no reason to make Douglass wait. I don't know the actual timeline, but that makes sense to me.

I think is was always McQuay and Ross only came into the picture as a backup plan.  By Thursday it was being reported  that McQuay had dropped UM from his list due to #'s crunch.  I think the coaches knew earlier that they weren't going to get him and went for Ross at that point.

It depends on whether the spoke with McQuay before or after they accepted the commitment from Ross.  The timing is everthing.

Tradition is something you can't bottle.  But it is there to sustain you when you need it most.  I've called upon it time and time again.

Because this thread is so long, thought I'd pass the info along again. This seems to be what you're looking for.

"They wanted to move on the Penn State commit and they informed us on Tuesday. It came down all of a sudden. But Leon is not ready to commit."

-Leon's father, on why he apparently dropped Michigan. What's happened since, I don't know.

There is a thousand different speculations as to what happened. Not worth finding out.

Got a couple texts from recruits on campus right now saying good shot Green commits this weekend. Also, 2014 WR Artavis Scott mentioned.
