Video: Denard on Why He Stayed

http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/sports/denard-robinson-shares-thoughts-on-stayin...

 

Summary for anybody at work tomorrow:

 

In an interview with MGoBlue Television, Robinson said, "People were getting in touch with me the whole time, and making sure I made the right decision, not trying to rush things and not trying to force anything.

"My teammates, we talked, and I told them, 'You know I just can't leave you out there.'  I've been around these guys two years and we've bonded and it's like a family here. There's nothing like this."

Robinson, who shared his thoughts after the team's 95-minute meeting with Hoke Sunday night, also took to heart advice from his father.

"My dad said if you can play under two different coaches and two different offenses and you can learn and be successful in it, you can do good anywhere."

Exactly, I was trying to explain why I was so worried about losing Denard to a non-football fan.  It basically came down to the fact that he's just an affable, damn good kid.  Contrast with Pryor and you'll feel even better.

Testament to RR and his staff that put all these kids together and enforced the family atmosphere.  What a great job they did recruiting Denard and all of the players.  I hope Hoke can continue the momentum!

And Denard's parents are amazing people.

It wasn't meant to be creepy, I just did it fast and it came out that way.  It depicts Denard's healthy glow of pure awsumness.

Denard...

... is going to go down in the pantheon of truly legendary Michigan players.  His name will be mentioned with the Charles Woodsons, Desmond Howards, Anthony Carters, Mike Harts, etc.

 

I couldn't ask for a better young man to lead this team.  His parents did one helluva of a job with him.

 

Brady Hoke is a lucky man.

Sounds like we need someone like him to recruit. Million dollar smile.

 

Also - sounds like his dad is a very rational and motivating man. Maybe he should coach too!

Compare Denard to Mallett????

What does this tell you about Mallett's transfer when RR took over as opposed to Denard's staying when Hoke took over?  Someone seems to have done a fine job of teaching team to Denard.......

the stylish asian man with the knee pads, fanny pack, multiple cameras, wrinkled maze shirt, carabiner in case he needs to recline down Michigan stadium, warmup pants, and a fedora with matching maze stripe that would make Nathan Detroit jealous makes me very very happy.

Tony Ding

That'd be Tony Ding, former Michigan Daily photographer and all-around awesome guy.  He took the iconic photo of Tate directing downfield receivers before throwing a TD pass in the Notre Dame game in 2009.  You can check out his website for more of his stuff, he does some amazing work: http://tonyding.photoshelter.com/ (Edited to include current website)

Edit edit: here's the Tate photo that was everywhere after the win, although I'm sure you've seen many others from Tony since he often covers Michigan games:

Fun fact

All three of our Heisman Trophy winners were not recruited by the coach they played for in their Heisman season: 

Tom Harmon was recruited by Harry Kipke, but won the Heisman under Fritz Crisler.

Desmond Howard was recruited by Bo Schembechler, but won the Heisman under Gary Moeller.

Charles Woodson was recruited by Moeller, but won the Heisman under Lloyd Carr.

Can it happen again?  Rich Rodriguez's greatest legacy to this school may prove to be the recruitment of Denard.

Favorite Wolverine

Denard is quickly becoming my all-time favorite Wolverine.  I love me some Braylon, Charles, Desmond, etc, but Denard probably takes the cake.

Denard is officially my favorite Wolverine of all time. His talent, humbleness, and leadership amazes me for someone that can't legally drink alcohol. How can you not love to cheer for this guy?

One of the things that's

One of the things that's keeping me positive right now is the fact that he was a first year starter (!) this past season...it seems like that has been lost in all the chaos. There are even bigger things in store for #16 and the Michigan offense. Players do get better, and, well, he's already kind of good.

I'm glad to see he is

I'm glad to see he is staying. Give Michigan even an average defense next year, and with the offensive talent, they can make big strides!!

Can't we use Denard as a recruiting asset?

It seems any smart high school player should see what we see and want to play wiht Denard.  I wish we could find a way to better publicize him nationally to get recruits.  Who wouldn't want to play on the team of a future superstar / Heisman winner (I hope).

Winning games will give us all the publicity we need. Remember when nearly all the national pundits were saying to give the Heisman to DR when we were 5-0?

I would think having Denard

I would think having Denard could help in getting some offensive weapons (skill players).  I think at this point Hoke is focusing on O/D Line and getting someone who can make a field goal.

You don't need to ask Denard what happens to those who stay. He is a top-flight Michigan Man and a true leader.

Denard

Living in West Quad last year, my sophomore year and Denard's freshman year, meeting him was one of the highlights of my year. I've never met a more kind and humble person, especially one with the level of superstardom he has - and the amount he is still sure to attain. Actually, last season and this season, me and my roommates and a couple other people brought shoelaces to all the football games and swung them around in the air whenever Denard was in the game, as a way of showing support. Obviously, we didn't get much use out of them in 2009, but this past year it was outstanding to see someone that I actually had a few conversations with excel out on the field. This man makes me proud to be a Michigan Wolverine.

Hoke

Will improve Denard's skills as a pocket passer (which he already excels at) and also teach him how scramble with your eyes downfield. Denard will still put up monster stats in all catagories, but this year you won't see as many QB Iso, QB sweep, & QB draw plays.  Spreading the ball around will just make this offense even more dangerous.

Considering how thin our QB

Considering how thin our QB depth may be this year, it will also be good to have not have to miss any time in games with those nicks he gets.

QB Mechanics

Denard has a very strong arm, but that strength has also enabled him to keep some bad habits - like throwing completely off his back foot without stepping into the throw towards the receiver. He has some mechanics stuff to work on with the right coach, but that will only make him a more dangerous QB. I have no doubt he will embrace the teaching and work beyond overtime in the offseason to improve.

He took quite a few shots this year while standing in the pocket - and never backed away from any charging defender. Always seemed to get the pass off just in the nick of time, and still stood there and took the shot. IMO he will be even more exciting to watch this year and next with whatever offense they create just for his skills.

Once he learns to see the entire field and check off on his receivers, he will be unstoppable. A hybrid-pro set will only help him.

Can't friggin' wait!

This helps us out in innumerable ways. Seriously, what is there NOT to like about this guy?

I love you, Michigan MAN!!!  I might have to rename my son....  His middle name is "Brady" after another great UM QB.  How does Denard Brady sound?  GO BLUE!

Never in the process did I

Never in the process did I hear Denard himself say/write that he was truly considering leaving.   All of the conversation about it was coming from people that may have some connection to Denard.   It was just never actually him.   So I never really thought he was gone.

We can do wonderful things with this guy, in a variety of offensive schemes.

Winner.

When all is said and done,

Robinson will most likely end up as my favorite Wolverine of all time.

Those who stay...

I really hope he gets a chance to compete for a Big10 championship but if not, he is already a Champion. He is a true Michigan man and we will all be very proud of him for many years no matter what he does after school.
