Then why take the OV? I'm sure he's been to MSU before and it's not like he's getting a trip to SoCal paid for....it's East fucking Lansing.
January 18th, 2016 at 10:08 AM ^
I'm sure he has friends & former teammates at MSU. Not ideal, but I don't think this is anything to freak out over.
January 18th, 2016 at 10:18 AM ^
Yeah, there could just be a sweet little honey up there that he wants to see again. He might be going for the re-tap.
January 18th, 2016 at 1:43 PM ^
Exactly.
Paid-for vacay? Fed and pampered? Visit another school, see what it's like?
I would take ALL my official visits just for the fun of it, see more football, meet more people.

I like to think Harbaugh's sent him on a reconnaissance mission.
"Eat All Their Food," Harbaugh instructs him.
January 18th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
From Detroit to East Lansing? Really?
I am concerned.
January 18th, 2016 at 5:39 PM ^
In fact, Onwenu said he was going mainly to enjoy the process.
January 18th, 2016 at 8:30 PM ^
He's not doing it right. That's what San Diego State in January is for.
January 18th, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
I am a bit concerned, was just trying to make people feel better. Lol.

Considering it's East Lansing I would say there is a good possibility loose women are involved.
January 18th, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
see a doctor and get rid of it. . ..
January 18th, 2016 at 12:43 PM ^
Just for "East Fucking Lansing".

Do you think Michigan & Harbaugh stopped recruiting Corley even though he was probably never going to come here? Onwenu is highly-rated in-state recruit. You are not doing your job well if you don't continue to recruit those kids until they sign their letter of intent.
Is there a small chance he changes his mind on an official visit? Yes. I would guess they will try to use peer pressure given the amount of Detroit kids that have ended up at MSU in the last 2 years. But I think the odds are pretty good he stays with Michigan given how long he has been committed here.
Who knows? It may actually end up being a benefit to Michigan to have a commit in East Lansing while Lavert Hill is on his official visit.

I guess I don't understand your point here. What are you trying to say then?
January 18th, 2016 at 10:41 AM ^
January 18th, 2016 at 10:55 AM ^
I was responding to your OP. Read it again. It is not what you are saying here. I was responding to why Dantonio or Onwenu would waste the time and effort.
January 18th, 2016 at 11:17 AM ^
OK, I'll bite.
Dantonio is recruiting him because he's a helluva prospect, and an in-state one at that. No different from Harbaugh recruiting to the final bell. He goes after other teams' prospects who have verballed, too. That's how the game is played nowadays.
Onwenu taking an OV is disappointing but our staff will have to deal with it.
Why would he visit EL? Well, despite what many on this board, in denial, constantly note, Dantonio is a good recruiter, a good judge of talent, a fine coach, and has built the Spatans' program into a national power. They have had a recent run of success that surpasses ours. You may not like that, but ...
He may just want to explore all of his options before signing a LOI. Not unreasonable.
January 18th, 2016 at 5:41 PM ^
completely
January 18th, 2016 at 10:18 PM ^
early and often, given the attrition on MSU's o-line. I doubt he'll flip but it's worth a look for him. Plus its a weekend to party on someone else's dime.
January 18th, 2016 at 10:33 AM ^

I would just consider it a free trip if he was going somewhere warm, but he's visiting a latrine in the middle of winter.
If he's 100% blue than there's no reason for this visit.
January 18th, 2016 at 4:06 PM ^
the faint of heart kind of game. You must croot till the end and I am glad they are trying so hard to flip him there jealousy feels almost as good as se....Ok well it feels very good. I know their ploy it is definetly P.T. Just like we are telling CBs and Safeties and by Jobe it's working.
January 18th, 2016 at 9:59 AM ^

Hurts my noggin too Indonacious, but crootin' will still be my number 1 hobby from now until signing day to enjoy and salute all the student athletes Coach Harbaugh and staff bring into fold the first full year of the new era in Michigan football.

His sister goes to MSU. Ugh! I think he sticks with us, but he wouldn't be taking an official visit this late in the process if he was not seriously interested in MSU.
