Demar Dorsey Update

Submitted by TomVH on
I just spoke with the Head Coach at Ft. Scott Community College, Jeff Sims, about Demar Dorsey, and here's what he had to say about the situation. (For those that haven't heard, Demar Dorsey signed an LOI with Ft. Scott CC).

- "With all of our guys the goal is to get them to Division 1. The plan is to get Demar to Michigan, period. Whether that's right now, or next year, our goal is to get him there."

- "He wants to play at Michigan, and he wants to get right. If he can't get right in the next couple months, then our goal is to get him to Michigan as fast as possible. We're all trying to succeed, and he's doing this the intelligent way. No one picks us over Michigan."

- "He's working very hard to be a Wolverine, but he has to be ready just in case, to recover if he doesn't get in. If he comes here, we'd love to develop him, and get him to his goals. WE ARE HIS BACK UP PLAN. He may never end up at our school. If he can't get qualified, then he needs to know that he has a backup plan, and that's us."

- "No one picks us over Michigan, but we're here if he can't get in. We told him that we want to try to develop him, and get him to where he needs to be, if he needs us."

So, this is a backup plan in case he doesn't get qualified. We'll just have to wait and see what happens from here.

just punched in the gut. I guess I'm late to this whole development. I will attempt to be an especially good Catholic on this holiest of weekends and hope that the good Lord smiles down upon me and, by proxy, Demar Dorsey. /Tebow'd.

Too bad I have already reached the bottom of the bottle of Sweet Tea Vodka from the cabinet! Now I'm just going to have to sit in my chair outside and soak in the rays!

I mean, I understand the sense of panic a bit. And with all the "this kid is screwed up" meme going around, this kid seems to have his head on straight. This is an extremely wise plan. If for some reason, God forbid, he doesn't qualify, he already has his plan in place to get here, ASAP. I love this kid already, seems wiser than most at this stage of his life, always preparing for anything.

If we wanted this story to avoid the newspapers, all we had to do was hire Dorsey's father on the coaching staff!

that TomVH gets the scoop before the hated Freep and the lackluster DetNews. This is why this blog is by far the best place for Michigan news. Nobody else comes close... O LET DO IT!! Go Blue!!!
