November 22nd, 2012 at 2:43 PM ^
That is very, very kick ass.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:58 PM ^
haha this is awesome my father-in-law made this a few weeks back...
November 22nd, 2012 at 8:00 PM ^
LTT looks good wearing that number!
November 23rd, 2012 at 9:51 AM ^
these four Mgopoints to your father-in-law.
November 23rd, 2012 at 6:41 PM ^
Haha I would if I could, he does all the work and I just reap the benefits
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:02 PM ^
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?
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:13 PM ^
Except that UM can't have visitors for the game. Away teams can't have visitors.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:20 PM ^
I wish he would decommit, or not visit. The fact that he thinks he's staying committed while taking visits bugs me.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:32 PM ^
I don't believe he thinks he's staying committed. By this point, Hoke's policy is clear. However, since he's been honest about everything, unlike Dawson and Brown, there's a chance he could recommit in Feb if we have an opening.
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:49 PM ^
If he doesn't believe he's committed, he should tell the coaches as much. In my opinion, taking a visit before decommitting is not the way it should be done.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:36 PM ^
Didn't Clarett stand on Ohio's sideline when he took an official visit to UM?
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:25 PM ^
sidesboth sides and scalped one of them for a little cash, which he subsequently blew on hooch and a set of stolen rims.
November 22nd, 2012 at 2:40 PM ^
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.
November 22nd, 2012 at 4:16 PM ^
^This.
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:02 PM ^
Have fun with that "education".
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:18 PM ^
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.
November 22nd, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
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.
November 22nd, 2012 at 7:44 PM ^
Why would it look shady? Hoke has a rule, and Conley intends to break it. Why would that make it shady? It's never shady to pull offers from uncommitted prospects, every school does it.
November 22nd, 2012 at 3:55 PM ^
Can he recommit after his visits or is this it?
November 22nd, 2012 at 5:16 PM ^
If he was upfront with the coaches the whole time an went about it the right way then yes, he could recommit.
November 22nd, 2012 at 4:53 PM ^
BEAT OHIO
November 22nd, 2012 at 4:59 PM ^
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.
Beat Ohio.
November 22nd, 2012 at 5:30 PM ^
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.
November 22nd, 2012 at 5:52 PM ^
Now remember if Ohio is what we all know it is, we welcome you back with open arms. So hurry up down there before you lose your spot.
November 22nd, 2012 at 6:06 PM ^
Maybe he wants to really know what it feels like to be on the losing end of THE GAME since he is committed to play for us., and how about those Houston Texans baby.
November 23rd, 2012 at 9:42 AM ^
TD was a crock of shit. Elbow down, knee down, totally blown call followed by an extra 15 yard 'fuck you Detroit' penalty. That was NO TD.
November 22nd, 2012 at 6:41 PM ^
I like Brionte Dunn, it is
November 22nd, 2012 at 6:45 PM ^
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.
November 23rd, 2012 at 2:04 AM ^
There was a quote from his dad in one of the roundups saying his dad wanted him to stay at Michigan.
November 22nd, 2012 at 7:20 PM ^
Adios GC. Good luck
November 22nd, 2012 at 7:42 PM ^
visit Ohio?
November 22nd, 2012 at 8:02 PM ^
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!!!!
November 22nd, 2012 at 8:30 PM ^
Still no "big news" from Laquon?
November 22nd, 2012 at 8:56 PM ^
Idk, just go F5 his twitter or something.
November 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 PM ^
I rely on you guys for twitter info :)
November 22nd, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
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.
November 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
Ok dad
November 22nd, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
Good talk, son.
November 22nd, 2012 at 8:56 PM ^
Honestly, I'd really rather not have Conley replaced, but I seem to be in the minority here (thread-wise). Too bad.
November 22nd, 2012 at 9:26 PM ^
I agre with you, and I think most of us would love to have him back, but it's kind of a knee jerk response to his visit to Ohio.
November 22nd, 2012 at 10:11 PM ^
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.
November 22nd, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
If he shows up wearing M gear.
November 23rd, 2012 at 11:55 AM ^
When we BEAT OHIO
November 23rd, 2012 at 1:24 AM ^
smh. : /
November 23rd, 2012 at 6:47 AM ^
Perhaps he's just going to visit his future Wolverine teamates. I'm fighting the urge to overreact.
November 23rd, 2012 at 8:22 AM ^
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.
