Chris Clark committed to M but taking officials
I'm Committed to michigan but just like everyone else I will take my officials visits this is based off of everything going at at michigan

Can't say that I blame him. Let's hope that we can keep him committed in the coming months.

But I'm not committed.
At this point, we don't have a recruiting class until we have a new coach. We have a bunch of guys who MAY be interested depending on who we hire.
You can't blame a TE, you could hire a Rich Rod type (Helfrich or another spread coach) who doesn't use the TE very much, or at least not how Clark wants to be used.

If you were a student planning to go to Michigan to work with a particular professor, or better yet, a specific program, and that professor was possibily leaving Michigan, or that program was about to be cut, wouldn't you reconsider your options?

That tweet makes more sense than anything going on with our football program right now.

i cannot understand why anyone would commit to michigan at this point. the team is in shambles and noone knows if Hoke will be retained or not. Why not just wait to see how it pans out. For us however this recruiting class may turn out to be the worst in the last 30 years. the longer Hoke is still the HC the more recruiting will take a hit
October 5th, 2014 at 12:18 PM ^
Suddenly, the recruiting policy of a commit not taking visits has changed. There's good reason, too: we would have lost a much higher number of commits by now. Way to save face, coaching staff.

will get lucky and he will take an official to our new head coach .

if he does truley love michigan than he may still commit but how can u expect him to make a decision when he doesnt even know who his hc will be? Cant blame the kid. The athletic department needs to make a decision now. Either endorse Brady (all hell breaks loose) or fire him and let him coach the rest of the year.

Chris, do what makes you happy. GO BLUE!
October 5th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
I question the intelligence of any of the commits that aren't looking around at this point. You would have to and no one in the world would blame you.
October 5th, 2014 at 12:26 PM ^
Maybe some of the loyal commits want to play school and know that they will receive a world class education at Michigan.

Except for Rich Rod.
October 5th, 2014 at 12:22 PM ^
like J-Butt. Obviously, if the Nuss-O cannot get it together, this could get Really Bad.
Fortunately- J-Butt caught a couple of passes, I think it was . . .

I can't imagine how hard this is for the recruits. Even if Hoke is fired today, we won't know who the next coach will be until December or January. By January, it might be too late for some of the kids to find a place in another class if they don't want to play for the new head coach. They really are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Some of the kids have said they're coming here no matter what, but I can see why not all of the kids can say that.

Nothing Jimmy can't fix

We are in a very rare situation here where the coach is a lame duck in early October. Even Rich Rod or Muschamp or those type of situations you string that along all year and the writing on the wall is apparent in week 11-12...
This was week 5. So instead of trying to keep commits around for a month while the AD scrambles to fire and hire someone new this is going to be 2 months just of football season + whatever duration of time to find a new coach. And a new AD is potentially thrown into the mix which may extend the time to find a new coach.
This is a very rare situation to have your coach be toast before leaves even begin to turn. It is very bad.
October 5th, 2014 at 12:46 PM ^
There is ZERO reason to keep Hoke around with this years small recruiting class size. It actually makes sense to fire him and take your losses so the new coach has some room to get his guys.

The kid is smart - give him that.
Can he count all the way to 11?

You'll get a good education here, but if want to play football we'll lose a lot and not develop you at all. Go to Notre Dame where all their TEs are inexplicably awesome
October 5th, 2014 at 5:42 PM ^
This is why they need to take action ASAP. At the very least, fire David Brandon right now. The sooner things begin to be resolved, the better chance they have of salvaging what is shaping up to be yet another terrible recruiting year.
October 5th, 2014 at 6:12 PM ^
Chris Clark and "committed" should not be mentioned in the same sentence.
October 5th, 2014 at 6:28 PM ^
Will Hoke even recruit anymore during the season? What the hell can he say?
"Uhmm well umm come to Michigan even though I uhh you know won't be here"?
