Ok. You Are A Bitch.
Four of a kind?
Serenity now.
Bitch
Very good, sauteed in a little olive oil and lemon zest. Perfect addition to a veggie pizza, too.
This is serious guys, there's a rivals post about it on the front page: (It's behind a pay wall)

It says at the bottom
"Here's what we don't know ... whether this is a backup plan for Dorsey or if this is his direction now. As soon as we hear something, we'll obviously let you know."
Sam Webb is reporting it was a back-up plan. But hasn't gone into detail yet. It's a developing story.
Edit: He insinuates it had to do with grades, but doesn't like to go into detail about that. But it was a "just in case".
I do not have mad HTML abilities as of yet
If you change the subject line of your other/double post it might make more sense, as people may think the subject line is your text as well, rather than the quote.
Thank you and done
But it was a "just in case"Seems to me substituting
isfor
wasis more appropriate, unless he is already qualified.
is not what I wanted to wake up to.
Let's go to DefCon 3 and hold for more intel. We'll stall the shirt in pre-production.
It is also on the front page of Rivals(ITF Extra)
WHY???? This sucks, especially considering the fact I thought he could actually get one of the corner jobs in the fall.
maybe it's a different Demar Dorsey from Boyd Anderson High School in Fort Lauderdale.
This is the second bad event/news for me today, and it's only 8 am CST. FML.
think it's just an april fools joke. ditto about the dong punch...
I thought the day would be a good one after part 4 down below but now it seems that may not be the case. Hopefully there is a reasonable explanation that favors M on this one.
Anyone else long for the days before "Premium recruiting reporting," when no one would have any idea who Demar Dorsey is at this point in his life?
No - that would mean I would be doing work right now. Or staring at the wall. If I were not me right now, who would I be?
-- better questions are, "When I blackout drunk, who am I? What do I say to people? Who is it that is you, when you're not really there?"
...I liked the old days when I didn't even know the freshmen let alone the recruits. I just knew that whenever an awesome senior graduated M would replace him with another. Ignorance was bliss.
True, back in the good ol days this would be true, but now any bad news is impossible to avoid and the ignorant ones read the freep and listen to valenti.
Sam and Ira said the plan the is for him to go to UM, wouldn't further elaborate. Listen guys, Dorsey had questionable academics to start with, this is probably just a back up plan in case UM admissions doesn't like his final grades or something. Remember, RR had to battle them to get them to approve Dorsey when he was about sign for Michigan. Admissions first said no, then another former UM football player (name is escaping me right now) talked to them and vouched for the kid.
Vance Bedford vouched for him. Vance recruited when Vance was at Florida
"I'll vouch for him."
"OK, as long as we've got a voucher."
So if everything with admissions works out, does anyone know when he is supposed to arrive on campus? Is he coming in June or August for the start of the fall semester/practices?
Good question. Does this mean we're going to be reading about this for the next 2-3 months before there are any firm answers? I can't wait for all of the posts speculating about what's going on...
on WTKA just said he didn't want to talk about a kid's academic or personal background. Sounded like Dorsey needs to " do some work" to get into Michigan.
There are more than 70 athletes listed as signing a letter for the CC!! Me thinks most of those represent athletes having a back up plan (try to convince yourself that a CC in Kansas is really getting 70 football recruits this year... see? Not happening).
that this is a backup plan if he doesn't get into UM?
I have no idea... or any inside info. I just noticed that the site lists 70+ "letters of intent" for that school. I have to believe that 60% or more of those will never materialize for them and that this is a common thing for athletes to cover their bases in case they need to go the CC route.
CCs are often just 2-year programs, so they probably do have a lot more football players in a given class to field a team.
That said, "letter of intent" seems a little strange to me - could be anyone who wants to enroll there any play some ball in the fall... or as you suggested, a good # of "fallback plans." Just can't imagine the school allowing THAT many "fallbacks," but maybe i'm totally wrong/misinformed about how they handle these types of things..
56% of last year's "class" for the CC never materialized.... yeah, I think many of these are back up plans.
thanks for digging that up. Definitely helps shed some rational light on the discussion.
I'm sure it is a backup plan. AFAIK, you can sign a LOI to a JC and NCAA school at the same time without any penalties.
Good catch
I wonder what the spring depth chart looks like there. Is there a blog where facinating discussions on all the possibilities are taking place. I'd like to hang out in that forum for a while
Grades, grades, grades. They are very subjective. This has everything to do with punk teachers in Florida trying to rob us because he didnt commit to an SEC team.
Love me a good conspiracy theory.
To the OP - just curious, how in the hell did you find this? Did you search for Demar Dorsey on Google and go all the way to, like, page 5? Or did you get a tip of some sort? Or are you just a die-hard fan of the Fort Scott CC Artichokes?
Got it at 7:45 this morning from a good friend of mine who works at Umich as I was driving in to work. It said "Demar might be going to Fort Scott CC...heard from xxxxxxxxxx" I "x'd" out the source b/c my buddy gives me info from people close to the team. I got in to work this morning, checked this site and then rivals. Rivals had a story about it and I started to flip out.
Good man. Thanks for the post - and the heads up.
Let's just hope doesn't need this backup plan, and does the work in the classroom to get up here.
