I don't know about that, I was 18 a couple years ago, and I don't ever recall laughing about my Dad throwing water on Jewish people, and maybe it's just me but I didn't flaunt my sex-life or lack thereof about for the world to see.

I think it was the car hitting a puddle but yeah still a little messed up.  However I doubt this is why michigan stopped recruiting him, a coach is going to get a feeling of character from in homes and talking to the kid not from twitter.  He said some stupid things but nothing that I saw as truly offensive, maybe I'm just crazy but this doesn't need to get blown out of proportion at all.

Not for Wright, but for us.

If it's true that we backed off of Wright because of character concerns, then Twitter helped the staff make a more informed decision. Better to find out now, rather than next season.

could be only serious immaturity, as to which I'm sure he does not have a monopoly among 17/18 year olds.  The exceptionally poor judgment he shows (or lack of intelligence at understanding who can see this stuff) indicates that the coaching staff was right on by passing.

After reading those tweets, this actually seems plausible. Still though, given the source, I know it isn't true.

However, I do agree with him on one point. I am indeed trying to marry a bad ass white woman some day.

Wow! I did laugh at the starving for pussy tweet, but yeah I'll pass. At least he will always have those well manicured eyebrows.

If the coaches took a stand for that, I support it 100%.   And if I understand the article correctly, Hoke & Co make it perfectly clear that there are standards to adhere to, even for recruits.

Really just tired ot this whole thing. No recruitment this weird ends well. Time to move on from him.

EDIT: And I put no stock into this story from ChatSports at all because, well, they're ChatSports. Just sick of seeing Yuri's name on the board.

I have been following him for some time now and I fealt like what he was saying was going to come back and bite him in the ass.  As a big time recruit how do you not know that you are being watched by thousands of people and being criticised on everything you do?

Sucks because he's such a great talent and I really wanted a 6'2 cb.
