Not to go into great detail, because it's behind a pay wall. But, as we all know, Al Borges and Fred Jackson were in Bri'onte Dunn's home last night. Turns out the WHOLE family was there, including grandparents, and the plus side for Michigan, Dymonte was also there. This is a very good sign for Michigan.

Dunn goes to Columbus pimped out is M gear, decommits to Urb and calls Coach Hoke while in Urb's office.  Then, somone sneeks a camera phone in and catches the whole thing on video.

Then, Dunn rushes for 6000 yards in his career at M, 800 of which come against OSU.  In The Game of his senior year he scores a touchdown late in the game and taunts the OSU bench - gets flag thrown and touhdown erased. Urb gets fired after 4 years of misery, amassing a 32-19 record over four years.

Ok, back to reality.

That would be crazy if he did that.  I don't see it happening though.  He already said when Meyer called him that he was too nervous to ask certain questions and so he just stayed quiet.  I don't see him decommitting in person, especially on an official visit.  He knows how those rabid fans will react if/when it goes down and he's definitely not going to be on the scene if/when it does.

If he quietly decommits in Urban Meyer's office at the end of his visit, as I imagine he would, there shouldn't be an immediate fan reaction.  Dunn never commited to play football for Urban Meyer and they've had a relationship for less than two weeks. He'll have to deal with the fans eventually no matter when he decommits. Face to face this weekend is as good a time as ever.

My opinion, is that he told a lot of players on his visit to the Ohio game, that he was going to commit to Michigan. Because a lot of the players came out afterwards and told fans to lay off Bri'onte on twitter, and give him some space. Which leads me to believe they didn't want anything changing his mind. Also, all the recruits have been strangely quiet now on the Bri'onte topic. Which typical teenager psychology would say, when a teenager is avoiding a topic, they absolutely know something, or are hiding something. Dymonte being quiet about it, gives me reason to believe that Bri'onte has in fact told him he's going to commit to Michigan.

I think it's big if he comes up here for an official AFTER his visit to TSIO before making his final decision.  It's always better to be the last one to make the final pitch, because that will usually be freshest in his mind.  If Dunn is pretty positive about coming here, I think he and his family are playing this just right.  By waiting until later in December and planning to enroll early, he can bail out of Ohio quickly to avoid all the shitstorm of crapola from all the deluded Ohio fans.  Hope to see you up here in January Brionte!

Interesting scenario. Plausible. All that crapola if he chooses wrong would be a good reason to pick U-M, if they really are so eager to turn on him. Seems to me we've lost a lot of high profile in-state players in the last five to 10 years, players that it sure looked like we kinda really needed, but I don't recall any of them getting the shitstorm.

It's so hard not to read into all these signs.  Then you play games in your head with different scenarios about how everything will unfold.  Then you throw in the excitement of Christmas and the Sugar Bowl and i have to calm myself down so I don't get my hopes up too high.

Don't go crazy on Isaac yet, He grew up an ND fan from an ariticle I read and It could be another long drawn out battle. could be Dee Hart 3.0, or Dunn 2.0 depending on how you want to look at it. We need a big time back!

sounds like Meyer is making another in home with him next week according to wilfong twitter. UMMM hasn't he already had his in home last week or was that another ohio coach? This battle is getting good. With shane and dymonte being so happy on twitter last night I feel like the Mo swung back to us but he back in cbus this weekend and meyer is going to see him next week. When is brady going to point at him fergodsakes?

Makes sense for Hoke to back out right now since he is visiting Ohio this weekend, let Urban have his piece and then HOKEAMAINA comes in an closes the deal.

Not sure where he'll go, but I love this.  I like how he has his whole family in on the decision, even his cousin who also going to wearing the winged helmet.  I think this is a smart decision and shows a strong family.  Good for the extended Dunn clan!  I see success in this kid's future.

That's why I think Michigan will have Dunn here shortly. Hoke makes football fun and is a hands-on guy. He creates a family atmosphere at Michigan. Meyer is too business like, wrong system, NCAA sanctions, etc. Dunn would be loved by all in Michigan Stadium. 114,000 members of his family show up every week.
