Dallas Crawford Potentially Committing Friday
Is announcing this Friday on his18th Birthday that he shares with me!!! Only I'll be 30 :^( FML, looking good for us!!! He hasn't taken a visit since the Iowa game
TOMVH EDIT*** - Sorry to take over your thread, but to clarify this post, I spoke with Dallas' head coach and he said that there is a chance Dallas will announce as soon as Friday. Coach Redhead spoke with the Michigan coaches today, so everything is looking good for Michigan.

we'll see more commitments. I'm sure The Roundtree Incident has had something to do with all of these sudden rumblings, and that's a good thing.
If we could beat the damn Buckeyes this year, the entire Internet may very well commit to Michigan.

...interesting stat:
DrSaturday Amazing but true: Ohio St's made it to 8-1 w/ 2 wins vs. >.500 teams, none vs. top 25. Strength of sked identical to Nevada's, per Sagarin.
Any given Saturday and all that.
Edit: Wait, wait says DocSat:
DrSaturday Correction: OSU has three wins vs. winning teams. Gotta credit Ohio U.
But Ohio U. got the mascot play of the season in that day. So maybe that's half a win?

That's one more than Michigan. UMass (which, like, not really) and Illinois. So 1 good win.

Everything I have read about Dallas makes me really glad that he will be coming to Michigan. This class is starting to shape up. This is really good news.

So happy to read this (of course assuming Dallas comes to UM).

At least, here's to hoping that we go from being "dreadful" to "dreaded," in both senses of the term. That said, if it does turn out that his B-Day is also his "Blue-Day," then this is absolutely a top tier talent that we're picking up, even apart from the possibility that this may help bring Sammy Watkins into the fold, as well. Giddyup, I say, giddyup!

"Crawford is simply one of the more instinctive defensive backs we have seen around the football in this class. A great overall athlete with excellent footwork and ball skills. Is well-built with just adequate height but plays taller. Finds the ball very naturally in coverage."
I think I'm in love.
Go Blue.

Is Bad Ass. Who else finds comfort in the fact that he can edit other people's posts about recruiting? Nothing against Dr. Jay, but when Tom gives his input I start to get real excited about our possible commits.
November 10th, 2010 at 3:28 PM ^
we can get in the secondary.

Looking at ESPN's recruiting class rankings, Clemson already has 2 WR commits (Charone Peake and Martavis Bryant) who are ranked higher than Sammy Watkins. Pending a Dallas Crawford commitment how is UM not in the lead for Watkins as well? From a pure PT standpoint, doesn't Watkins have a much better chance at being an every down receiver, being the highest ranked receiver on UM, rather than being the 3rd best at Clemson?
November 10th, 2010 at 4:36 PM ^
Tom has said it is about us winning. He likes the spread. Peake is ranked #1 WR by ESPN, but Scout has Watkins rated as #2 WR so it's not like he is the 3rd best at Clemson.
Also, I remember his other issue was the weather.

I thought at one point grades/test scores may have also been a concern. It looked like these were going to be taken care of by Sammy, and I assume they have been if the staff is still going after him so hard, but I do remember something about it in the last year.
November 10th, 2010 at 5:07 PM ^
I think there was a brief mention of grades, somehow, that does ring a bell. I always thought it was the weather that was the main issue.
November 10th, 2010 at 5:07 PM ^
Secondary help. Yes Please.
November 10th, 2010 at 7:43 PM ^
or next?Either way i think he's blue.What about Sammy?
November 10th, 2010 at 10:52 PM ^
so good to hear talented db's that want to come and play at UM.
