2011 MLB on Michigan's radar?
Digging around on this obscure recruiting website I stumbled upon a Michigan related piece of info in their forum.
"Michigan stopped by Boyd Anderson not only trying to make one last late push for 2010 S Demar Dorsey, but to check in on what looks to be the jewel of the Cobras' 2011 class, LB Kent Turene."

There's a highlight video on the site. The kid looks like a pretty good player.

That website isn't obscure, and this information will be in this week's recruiting update.

Looks like he beat you to it Tim.

starts out decently enough, but he definitely starts to impress me around the 1:19 mark - he starts shedding blockers and makes some vicious hits. He seems to have everything a coach could want, with the added benefit of being college-size already.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:11 PM ^
an offer from Florida International...interest from the ess eee cee and that Miami.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
Yeah, good sized kid for how young he is. I'd like to see how he progresses, but video looks good and early interest points toward good recruit.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:55 PM ^
He definitely has the right size, and looks like he can develop into the hard-hitting MLB that we need. I'm definitely going to pay attention to what type of interest he attracts in the future.
I'd be a little cautious about bringing in more recruits from Boyd Anderson though. Dorsey wanted to get away from some of the people down there, so we don't necessarily need to bring them up to him. Either way, I trust the coaches to determine whether it is a good idea. This kid looks like the run-stopping MLB we would need against a team like Wisconsin. Needless to say, we'll take as many as we can get.
February 8th, 2010 at 11:58 PM ^
Yes, because every kid from Boyd Anderson is a low life thug that is waiting to rob you. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:10 AM ^
Haha......I feel sorry for you if that's how you interpreted what I was trying to say. It must be a pretty miserable life out there in Wyoming.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:35 AM ^
wtf really? Explain this statement please.

February 9th, 2010 at 12:39 AM ^
He's not saying DON'T bring them in.
He's saying the coaches need to find out if any future Boyd Anderson kids are the ones that Dorsey was trying to escape from.
I don't see what the big deal is. He just wants the coaches to do their homework.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:30 AM ^
Dorsey's problems happened when he was 15 and 16 and involved older players on his team. This particular recruit is younger than Demar and that would rule him out of the group he got in trouble with. I would think they could find out about this recruit from Demar himself and a would guess that they already have.
Hopefully, the coaches do their due diligence on every player they recruit otherwise they are not doing their job.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:40 AM ^
And...? This doesn't mean that people one year younger can't be negative influences. Saying "I want to get away from some of the people down there" doesn't necessarily refer specifically to the people he got in legal trouble with.
Nobody's saying this guy is a problem.
All anyone's saying is that hopefully Rodriguez won't look into bringing up anyone who might be a bad influence, which is a sentiment that I'm sure we ALL agree with.
The end.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:27 AM ^
Its just the fact that Dorsey is only going to get one chance.
Little things that a guy might do with his HS buddies probably aren't going to fly in Ann Arbor. Something benign such as "grabbing a girl's ass at a party" might be enough to get him in trouble. That's all I was trying to say.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:16 AM ^
We need a stud MLB who can tackle and he sure as hell looks like a big hitter. Hopefully Demar can bring him up to AA.
February 9th, 2010 at 7:40 AM ^
Looks like he needs to learn to wrap up rather than trying to lay the wood, but speed kills and I'd take him fo' sho'.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:05 AM ^
Dorsey's team's mascot is the Cobras? We need as many kids from the Cobra High Dojo as possible!
February 9th, 2010 at 8:10 AM ^
It's been a long time since I've seen the Karate Kid, but wasn't it the Cobra Kai Dojo, not Cobra High?? Daniel-san still kicked his ass.

...we see the title of this thread, "2011 MLB on Michigan's radar," a bunch of times this year, only with an "!" at the end instead of a "?".
