Dallas Crawford thinking elsewhere?
Take it FWIW, maybe Tom knows something about this but according to Dallas Crawford's facebook Southern Cal or South Carolina can't tell.. is now trying to get him to switch and decommit.
This was his status this morning..
WOW! Big shocker today.. USC want me now... They'll be in to see me this week... WOW
December 13th, 2010 at 10:51 AM ^
Fuck Everyone.
December 13th, 2010 at 10:53 AM ^
OMG1! NSFW.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
I am deeply disturbed by the combination of your post and your signature. Kids and wife definitely in hiding now...
December 13th, 2010 at 12:20 PM ^
Yeah fuck both USC's!!!
December 13th, 2010 at 10:04 PM ^
We need all the DB's we can get and from what I've read about Crawford he has the instincts to be an outstanding player.
December 13th, 2010 at 10:52 AM ^
Doesn't mean he's going there nor thinking elsewhere. They're recruiting him, which is going to be extremely common throughout the next month with our current commits.
December 13th, 2010 at 10:56 AM ^
He's gone if this coaching thing doesn't get figured out. This timetable is ridiculous. There isn't a positive associated with it.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:13 AM ^
Bitching about it in every thread doesn't change the fact that it's happening.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:18 AM ^
Oh my heavens! A guy you've never seen play might not come if Dave Brandon doesn't tell you what he's thinking. Like right now!
December 13th, 2010 at 11:23 AM ^
It doesn't matter if I know whats going on. The fact is no one knows what is going to happen. I could go until next fall without knowing who the coach is going to be. At this point I am indifferent.
December 13th, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
December 13th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
In terms of how he is handling it? You're correct. My opinion is that it's wrong. I have come to the conclusion, though, that I don't have a strong opinion on who the coach is.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:02 AM ^
It's probably South Carolina because why would he choose a school in Southern Cal who is on probation with bowl bans compared to a school in Michigan that is going to be in a bowl game this season and will not be banned from the postseason next year?
And yes, just because they are recruiting doesn't mean he's looking to decommit.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:55 AM ^
As much as I loathe USC they are THE USC. There shouldn't be any mix up.South Carolina should be called South Carolina.
And while I'm at it there's only one L.T. and that's Lawrence Taylor. LaDaniian Tomlinson was a great player but nu-uh. First time I heard that reference on TV I was like "They did not just say that."
This is how the world should be God Dammit! (Ha-Ha!
December 13th, 2010 at 11:07 AM ^
Thinking Arby's? I know I was after seeing that giant carton of curly fries at the Big Chill. Mmmmmmm...curly fries!
December 13th, 2010 at 11:09 AM ^
December 13th, 2010 at 11:44 AM ^
You are so wrong. Strawberry all the way. And for you blueberry fans out there... no, just no.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:16 PM ^
They don't have brown sugar/cinnamon pop tarts in Canada. Or at least I haven't found them. Probably the hardest thing I had to give up after moving here. /sadpanda
December 13th, 2010 at 5:22 PM ^
December 13th, 2010 at 11:10 AM ^
This can't be true. David Brandon specifically told Angelique C. that recruiting was not a mess.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:11 AM ^
Go Blue Dallas
December 13th, 2010 at 11:16 AM ^
Oh hey, Hobbes.
December 13th, 2010 at 12:26 PM ^
If you're going to post that image, at least get the caption right. --->
December 13th, 2010 at 12:48 PM ^
My apologies sir. I will let you do the honors...
December 13th, 2010 at 11:20 AM ^
I wouldn't worry about it right now. Nothing has changed with Dallas.
December 13th, 2010 at 1:01 PM ^
Right now...
Commence reading between the lines in 3...2...1...
December 13th, 2010 at 11:24 AM ^
You should change the title of this post to, "I was stalking the facebook profile of Dallas Crawford, and it appears he has an at-home visit today!!!!!"
The current title is misleading, and very Mlive-esque.
December 13th, 2010 at 4:36 PM ^
well played.
Yahtzee to you, sir.
December 13th, 2010 at 6:39 PM ^
I have really tried to maintain some clear boundaries between my UofM fanatacism and all other social/personal facets of my life (that take place outside of sports bars), BUT here I am, a MGo newbie and also (gulp) friends with Desmond Morgan on Facebook. What can I say, his highlight reel inspired me. Anyways, his status now reads:
Desmond Morgan
December 13th, 2010 at 11:28 AM ^
This is a result of Dumb A$$ Dave. If he would just make up his mind and either keep or replace RR we would be in a lot better shape. Instead he is holding us in a Farve like hostage situation.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:32 AM ^
A$$ = A$^2
Use A$^2 please. A$$ is incorrect.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:29 AM ^
If your going to post this about Dallas' facebook what about all the positives he has posted recently. Most of his status updates say Go Blue! so unless some extreme changed in the last 24 hours I would not be worried.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
Seriously, there is about 3 weeks until the bowls are over, and this will all be straightened out. For some of you, that will be an eternity. I suggest you enjoyu the holidays with your family, watch the bowl games, and maybe not freak out over what you can't control.
DB won't say anything until Jan 1 at the earliest, and maybe Jan 4th. There will then be a full month to either tell our recruits that RR is our man or convince them that JH will be even better. It's not like the announcement will be a week before NSD. A month is a while, and it will all get straightened out.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
because of the dead period before siging day. That is only if DB makes a quick decision after the bowl game and already has RR's replacement lined up to sign a contract if there is a change Meaning DB had already done a coaching search or was only interested in one candidate, written up a contract, and it has basically been verbally accepted.
If JH comes back my view of the football program will be diminished. The man threw the program and it's academics under the bus despite being a former player and alumnus. You know the saying - with friends like that who needs enemies.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:31 AM ^
If there is a coaching change, how do we know the new guy doesn't have a list of guys that he'll recruit who are even better players then the current group we agonize over?
Gotta figure that whoever Brandon puts in charge will have it covered much to the AD's satisfaction. We are currently in the extreme test of loyalty to the Trust in Brandon motto. We should stick to that and know that he has a better handle on this program and what it needs then we do.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:37 AM ^
If this is the case and it works out, great. The problem is that I don't think there's any way you fill a whole class in a month. I know, you won't need to fill the whole class but I think that thinking the new guy would bring 15 guys with him is a little too optimistic. Maybe 5, but that hardly makes a class.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:54 AM ^
To be honest, I think there are only 2-3 current commits who would waver with a coaching change. The vast majority seem to be people who like Michigan regardless of the coach.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:50 AM ^
Luckily we've already got 11 committed, so adding those 5 would give us 16. And according to Rodriguez, we'll take 18-20 in this class.
So, as others have said above, there's no reason to freak out on December 13.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:57 AM ^
We could really use his two LB recruits James Vaughters and Anthony Sarao ;)
December 13th, 2010 at 11:46 AM ^
Just Saturday he posted:
Dallas Crawford Michigan hockey team woN 5-0 in the Big Chill... GO BLUE
If you're going to facebook stalk a guy, don't be selective.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:52 AM ^
Don't know about RRod status, can't say what Jimmy might do,don't know Dave Brandon inner workings, but did have some of that new pizza last night........yeah, it still sucks.
stay awhile with us Dallas.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:54 AM ^
Crawford is blue until further notice. If there is a coaching change, everything changes. Until then, i am not too worried.
December 13th, 2010 at 12:05 PM ^
December 13th, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
That Dallas crushed me in ping-pong just last weekend.
December 13th, 2010 at 12:42 PM ^
talk about 'hide ya kids hide ya wife.'
December 13th, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
December 13th, 2010 at 1:15 PM ^
well shit.
