Bad news on Dorsey

Don't shoot the messenger, but according to rivals sources,
"Dorsey’s “back-up plan” is one he’s almost definitely going to have to pursue"
and
"view it as a ‘very unexpected bonus’ if Dorsey ends up in Ann Arbor, because it’s not likely."
This isn't looking good. The article doesn't mention any reasons why he isn't coming but it seems as though this is something he, and his coaches, have known from the beginning.
Sorry for the dong punch
I remeber a wr,back in the eighties(?),Michigan recurited out of JC. He worked out ok! I hope the young man gets it together. I would love to see him in the wing helment this fall.
Sad Panda.
and there's a 0% chance DG enrolls early and JT Turner likely won't qualify and Jeremy Gallon has A LOT of work to do! I'm willing to wait it out and see what happens
I was looking forward to oh lets do it MS Paints. Its not over until Drew Sharp sings. Nothing is set in stone yet people.
really resent the Drew Sharp comparison. And who could blame them?

Drew Sharp has made sweet, sweet music with plenty of fat ladies.
Regardless of where he goes, Michigan needs this kid to get eligible. He's a potential game-changer in our defense.
Can't dwell on it. Hopefully the players we have will be good enough to help us win.
I wish him the best.
That doesn't alter the fact that Mr. Tingbot just radiates "dickhead" in all frequencies.
I may be a dickhead, but I DO hope Dorsey makes it in.
I'm a believer in giving kids like Dorsey the chances they need to succeed. Football coaches do need to win, but I know they fathom themselves as part Father Flanagan as well as part Vince Lombardi, and I'm all for it. Whatever it takes (within reason) to show a kid that someone cares--after a lifetime where maybe not many people have shown that--and even if it's because he runs fast and catches footballs or dunks, at least give him a shot.
Just have to roll with it if it wasn't meant to be...go to battle with the guys we have. We will be okay.

I'm not giving up hope until the fat lady sings.
If he doesn't make it, I wish him the best.
PS- If he doesn't make it, maybe he can donate his dreads to the cause.
Soft, cuddely, warm little kitties.
I heard Sam Webb this morning while driving and what Sam had to say makes me pessimistic about Dorsey ever suiting up for M. If I heard correctly, Sam thinks it is not about grades, but something of a personal nature regarding Dorsey. Sam was vague, but not encouraging to my ears.
can anyone put up the TomVH signal, to see if he can learn what is going on?

Parts of that report sound fishy, if Dorsey and his school knew he wouldn't qualify, then RichRod and Michigan must have known (i.e. what his grades and test scores were). Why sign someone with such a controversial background if you know they won't qualify? RichRod would have to be a masochist at the Buzzcut level (anyone remember him from Beavis and Butthead "KICK ME IN THE JIMMY!") From watching his press conferences he doesn't seem to enjoy media inflicted misery, why subject yourself to it if there is no possible gain?

They would have not tried for him if he couldn't get in.
