TomVH: Bri'onte Dunn Update
Awesome analogy
Though she'll be sleeping with you for four years...
<br>
<br>And if you rock each other's world, she'll then replaced by another Super Model.
didnt see msu complain abiut all the basketball players that wanted to play at michigan but didnt because of pending sanctions. I bet izzo hasnt looked back and wished he had to actually earn his cred. thats how it goes. be happy we are finally the beneficiary rather than the wolverine on the arse of a buckeye redneck's arse.

Winner!
Six times is gd impressive!
gets Sextuple +5. Impressive, sir.
A sextuple post, on the heels of the great sex anaolgy of the day. Now I have seen everything.
I think you are trying to make a point about how MSU fans didn't care about getting recruits because of our impending sanctions? Or am I way out in left field on this one?
lol that's as close to right on as you can get.
for the first time i wish i could up vote
Unless he got it from her.
Look at Tom Stroebel's comments about why he never considered Michigan. Kids in that state are often indoctrinated with ideas that we're a terrible program, a boring place, etc. Can't blame them for needing the truth about the biggest professional sports team in their state to come to light before considering us.
You mean how schools took kids who didn't want to go to UM and play for RR in the past 2 recruting seasons?
We aren't talking about a guy who would fall into our lap because he had no other good offers. This kid could go anywhere. He'd still have to want to come here an awful lot to commit.
We have a chance.
I think he is saying we have a chance.
nooo... more like 1 in 1,000,000. I love Dumb and Dumber, but I hope Lloyd Christmas is not an indicator to our chances with Dunn. Would love to see him in that winged helmet!
This is turning out to be a great July.
I overstated it Tom.
I am sure it is an issue for him. But with the NCAA sanctions become less and less likely to include harsh bowl bans, I thought our chances with Dunn were getting less and less likely.
Like you clearly stated (and I didn't clearly state) it appears like my presumption is not totally true.
Why have the NCAA sanctions become any less likely? OSU replied and the NCAA hasn't said anything yet.
from everything I have read it seems most out there feel OSU went extremely easy on themselves with their self-impose sanctions and feel the NCAA is going to give them at least 1 year bowl ban but more likely 2.
I know it is the NCAA and you never know until itis over, but to say it is looking more likely that they won't get a bowl ban seems a little misguided at this juncture IMHE.
i dont know if he has any credibility, has said he has decommitted from OSU and is now recruiting for Michigan.
Who is the "he" you're referring to? If it's Dunn, I highly doubt it if Tom MFing Van Haaren just talked to him and was told otherwise.
Inspired by my own post, I will now refer to Tom simply as "TMFVH" from now on.
Aye's have it.
Motion passed.
sorry about that i was just posting what i saw on twitter, probably shouldve put a FWIW in front of that.
Was it the Ace Williams clown?
it's some guy named brady_hoke4real. he's followed by a couple credible sources, like our own Brian from Mgoblog.
This may not sit well with some and i was a huge skeptic at first myself but this Ace clown has been accurate so far..i have to give credit where its due
Buckle up, bitches. Shit's about to get real.
How great would it be for TomVH to say those exact words
It can't hurt that now he has Kalis and his cousin Dymonte in his ear about UM. Did Thomas get an invite to the BBQ? They could come up together.
I was just watching ESPN's College Football Live and they had a spot on Kalis' recent decommit from Ohio and commitment to Michigan. To paraphrase Kalis, he said "OSU is a great program and I wish them the best, but I don't want to be punished for something I didn't do". Those same thoughts must be going through the minds of every single one of their recruits.
Is that all he says? Does he mention loving Michigan at all? Because if that is case, and the NCAA goes crazy and doesn't tack on additional penalities, should we worry about Kalis decommiting in the future?
He had great things to say about Hoke. And if you're going to worry everytime a recruit/commit does an interview without mentioning loving Michigan, you're going to lose your mind.
Re: decommit. Not likely. He's most certainly burned the bridge with OSU and he could have waited and visited other schools. Instead he chose Michigan. Another thing about Kalis is that the WOTS is he didn't like decommitting. Not to say he regrets his choice, just that it isn't something he wants to repeat. With him also recruiting other kids to Michigan, it's safe to say he's solid.
It sounds to me like Brionte and his Dad are doing a good job surveying the situation at both schools. With the talent Brionte has, he should look at the schools that can showcase him in the next few years. And I would think Michigan would be up there on the list with the offense we're going to be running. And obviously, he can't ignore the Nuking the football program at TSIO is going to get shortly. Things are looking better all the time!
as its not anyone from the Big ten other than us.
Kyle could have picked any school to go play for other than Michigan after reconsidering OSU. He chose Michigan.
If Brionte decides to decommit from OSU and play for Michigan, it will because he wants to play for Michigan. Not because of early playing time. Not because of bowl games. Neither are guaranteed. The prospect is there for both, of course. But he'll ultimately pick Michigan, should it be Michigan, because he wants to be at Michigan.
It's the power of GO BLUE!
I would be very surprised to see Dunn stick with his commitment to osu. If he opens everything up it won't be until probably some time in August when we hear what the NCAA rules in the case. Hopefully if he comes to the BBQ at the Big House it will just remind him of what home feels like. It's going to the a very anxious month of August for us Michigan fans. Thanks again TomVH for all that you do.
what usually happens in these situations. do the courts get to actually see what exsists and decide for themselfs if it falls under FERPA or not?
whenever I see "TomVH:" I chub up a little bit? Oh yeah, now I remember.
It's like a poster above said...he wanted to go to MSU his whole life but they didn't offer the program he wanted so he had to go to UM (he did clarify that it was the best choice he ever made).
My point is many times in life you have to do things that didn't quite fit the plan you laid out for yourself growing up. Choice of universities is one of those that often changes. My family all went to the same university (except my brother and I) and from the time we were kids we loved that university. The problem was when it came time to go on to med school the one our family loved didn't have as highly a regarded medical school as another we had applied to. Both of us chose the better school because it was better for us in the long run. We still love the other school, but just didn't attend it.
These kids are fans of OSU but I think most (perhaps not all) are smart enough to understand that they need to make a choice that is best for them in the long-term. They can go back to being a fan of OSU once university is over and they are in the NFL.
several times and IMO he has the ability to be better than anyone we have on the current roster, and he probably could start for us THIS season if he was on campus.
Needs to work on blocking, but most star HS RB's do.
This would be the "piece de resistance" in this recruiting class.
