Maybe he's just visiting because he wants to go to "the Game"! Cut the kid some slack, what happens if he ends up standing on the UM sideline, would everyone be cool with that?

this thread is a great example of reasons to bring back the old point system. Would love a bunch of these flamers to see a big ole' fashioned neg bomb.

The, "see ya, we never wanted you anyway," responses here are really sad. As a fan base, I'd like to think we're better than this. The coaches obviously wanted him, or they wouldn't have offered. Let's be proud of our coaching staff and their ability to evaluate talent, and this excited for our class regardless of rankings. This young man isn't even old enough to vote. Why get so upset over any decision he makes? Would I like to see him come to Michigan? Absolutely. He seems like a very talented young man. Do I want him to keep to a commitment that would make him miserable for four years? Absolutely not. That would end poorly for both Michigan and Conley.

I think the choice of game is what has people riled up. Personally I think the coaches can't pull his offer because they'd look pretty shady for that as he was honest the whole way through, but given the choice of this game for a visit, I'd be surprised if they put much effort into his recruitment. Conley may not mean to send a message, but that is definitely what he's doing whether he means to or not.

This is probably the turkey talking, but I have to wonder if maybe Meyer put him up to this. We know damn well he's committing to them on Saturday. What better way to stick it to us than having a commit flip during The Game.

It is quite likely that Urban is hoping for a "recruiting spin" from this approach. Whether Conley fits their scheme (unlikely) or whether Urban missed on bigger stars (likely), this late push is a publicity move.

It takes a few cycles for these games to start eroding a roster's fit and players/parents to recognize the publicity shenanigans.

What has bugged me about Conley is his parents up to this point. Every article has been about them pushing for visits. It is their sons decision and up until recently it was Michigan... I hope it works out for him, but I hate reading articles about recruits parents wishes.

Regardless who wins the game Conley will be gone. Goes back to Hoke saying make sure your done with visits to other schools before you commit to Michigan. I'm okay because I think Channing Stribling is an absolute STUD!!!!

Well, if you're so reliant on us guys for everything, you'd know that any "big news" would be front paged, no? I just wouldn't advise coming into a thread about one of our recruits, only to essentially say "good riddance" and ask about another one. It makes you out to be disingenous, and is at the very least, offtopic to this thread.



Be resourceful and searrrrrch next time.

He is still a kid and is looking for what for him is the best option.   The system Hoke has developed takes indecision into account.  Hoke will not hold his position if Conley wants to shop around, but if Conley decides UM is the place for him, and a spot is still open, he is welcome.  Ultimately, he will likely be more committed in such a scenario as he has done his homework.  Preferably, all these recruits do their homework before they committ so there we don't have these situations, but in reality, it is unavoidable.  Conley is a good recruit.  If we lose him, our program survives and we will fill his spot with someone of equal or better value.  If we get him, he will truly be committed.  Either way, it is a good outcome.

Man.

This is why we need to go back to the days of not knowing who the hell these kids were prior to showing up on the field.

This thread is an embarassment.
