You're starved for pussy Yuri?  You're an 18 year old star athlete.  Wait till you're married with kids.  Then you'll know what starving for pussy feels like.

For the single men, if you think she's the one continue to date her but don't have sex with her for 3-4 months and if you still like her at the end she may be a keeper.

My roommates and I have been laughing at these tweets for months; however, as it became clear that they werent just jokes occasionally.... you wonder how intelligent he really his...

Im not saying he's going to fail in life, but i'd rather have just about anybody else on our recruiting board right now.

I am not part of twitter or do I follow anyone on twitter, but do other recruits, knowing they are being recruited nationally, put stuff like this on their twitter pages. This is just plain dumb and classless to me.

but at the same time: How does someone not tell the kid how incredibly dumb he sounds? 

These are the type of things you end up regretting later in life.

I doubt this simply because of the source but the tweets themselves are real.  I know alot of 18 year olds have sex and girls on the brain but those are beyond ridiculous.... its isn't just a lewd tweet are 2..... its basically all he has to say on a public forum such as twitter.  Sad really.

Is anyone else getting kind of sick for the 18 year old kid defense being thrown around for everything recruits do?  I realize that kids that age arent making the best decisions they will ever make but at some point they have to be responsible for their actions/what they say.

I'm just glad Twitter did not exist when I was 18 years old.  Even though I was not a star athlete, I still probably would have tweeted some stupid stuff and effed myself up somehow.  

It's unfortunate, because he seems like a very good prospect and this type of stuff really is not uncommon among boys of that age.  But a coach can't very well declare that he's going to recruit "high character kids" and then turn a blind eye to this stuff.

Seems like taking about girls and their sexual organs is all this guy cares about when it comes to Twitter. What he has to say about that topic isn't funny, I get he's 18 but there's no reason to talk like that on a open forum for the world to read. It'a one thing to talk to your buddies like that, but he just cost himself a scholarship at one prestigious school, I know other schools wont or don't care, but this is the type of player I like to see avoided. Good call coaching staff. I also like the one Tweet where a person with Michigan fan handle starts chirping him about committing to ND, yet another reason I don't follow athletes on Twitter.

I wonder if this was also part of problem with Standifer's recruitment. I don't remember seeing anything to this extent but there were certain tweets that made me question his character.

He is a kid who is just running his mouth, figuratively speaking! He not out here selling drugs, raping women or knocking people over the head. He is a young adult with a dirty mouth no worse than Kevin Hart who gets paid to say the type of things Yuri is saying. Saying he has character issues is a bit harsh I would say he is immature! Now Demar Dorsey on the other hand I would say had character issues!

At this point are there any recruits we look to be in good shape with other than Garnett?  Reeves very well may go to ohio depending on how he likes his visit

  I'd like to watch a Yuri Wright post game interview done by Samantha steele or Erin Andrews lmao. If someone would post things that on their twitter why not fire it off during a televised interview.

 Samantha Steele "you seemed to struggle out there tonight Yuri any thoughts"?

Yuri Wright " I needed some P@$%$, I'm hungry for it"

 You'ld think at some point his high school coach would pull him to the side and talk to him about this.

even if no one else says something to him you would think his high school coach would. I mean he not follow him on Twitter, but he knows his personality and likely hears things from other students/ players. I coach hs football and I know I would have at least spoken to him about what I was hearing. not start, especially in 2012.

He's a moron. 17 and 18 year old men and women (maybe they aren't quite considered men and women but should be damn close) don't do this if they have half a brain. If you're sticking up for this, would YOU write this to the world?! Conversation amongst friends is one thing, Lord knows my thoughts and discussions in life ain't pretty, but this goes beyond unpretty and veers into severe disrespect and lewd.

But I'll just say that I'm fine with Hoke looking elsewhere. The 18 year old excuse doesn't cut it. Character and discretion are part of what coaches recruit for, beyond on the field skills.

Wow, a generation raised on a sewer culture ends up regurgitating what they see. Color me surprised. He's an 18 year old kid trying to be Mr. Ball So Hard U dude (thanks T-Sizzle and douche-king Kenny Mayne) that he makes himself look silly - question - where the hell are his parents?

I was surprised no one here mentioned - yet - that he makes fun of his dad purposefully splashing a jewish woman. I expect the kid to be a horndog - and yeah, would love to see him interviewed by Miss Liberty University Samantha Steele - but to go racial with some older woman, c'mon son - that won't fly, have some respect for people.

Another case of telling a guy he needs to reform to be a Michigan Man, but go do it somewhere else, we don't want you go through the growth process here.

I had to look up Ball So Hard University in order to make sure you weren't off your meds (at first, the inclusion of Kenny Mayne here was a headscratcher.)

But now that I have, I don't see much connection at all between Terrell Suggs goofing around in a completely non-offensive manner in his SNF introduction and what Wright was tweeting.  Can you explain what links those two?  While you're at it, you can try to provide a definition of 'sewer culture.'

That is some misogynistic stuff which could manifest itself in some pretty terrible ways.  These kids are going to be exposed to and have access to a lot more and will have to take on a lot of responsibility once they get on campus.  You wanna make sure they can handle it.

So I'm OK with using twitter to filter out trouble during the recruiting process, before they pull a Kellen Jones.

Glad we're not recruiting him anymore.

Stuff about getting laid, fine whatever.  Not very classy, but probably 1/3 of the internet is porn of some degree anyways.

The race thing is definitely over the top though

So we are in the business of not recruiting highly talented, grade qualified kids at positions of need because of a few of their tweets now?

Damn. This is just stupid. This kid is a kid. I know I grew up quite a bit in college, you know, because that is what college is all about.

and Nothing else? my impression of him was..What a JERK..the LAST thing we need is as Terrell Pryor type athlete and he has that written ALL OVER HIM based up those tweets..He sounds like a gansta thug wanna be....he belongs at OSU

So what you're saying is that Hoke should have no standards for a player that represents the University as long as that player plays a position of need?  Sounds very SECish to me.  Maybe Hoke just doesn't want a bunch of guys on his team that he has to worry about.  I'm sure that takes a toll on a coach.  Yes, kids are kids, but Wright seems to show a pattern of lack of judgement.
