Hello: Reon Dawson
Via:
Reon Dawson is a WOLVERINE. He just committed to Michigan. Story coming on http://Scout.com
OH DB Reon Dawson has committed to Michigan. The former Illinois commit was planning on calling both coaching staffs Wednesday. I dunno what changed that, this just came across my twitter feed. I hope it's not a journalist ruining a kid's moment, but I don't actually have a scout subscription, so we'll see what news comes out from here.
Welcome Reon, and Go Blue
EDIT: Confirmed by TomVH

Reon says "GIMME THE BALL"

Its actually does make losing Webb Hurt anymore. I like the tall corner option. Plus he comes in a year earlier. I dont know why but I am not a fan of Webb, I know he is highly rated but his demenor and idk the way he carries himself doesnt fit the "michigan man" mold to me.
January 14th, 2013 at 10:27 PM ^
Baseless speculation about a kid's character isn't really highly regarded here.
January 14th, 2013 at 10:29 PM ^
Him being a Buckeye, it appears I was right about his character.

Remember how Dawson decommitted and many idiots bashed him and then he recommitted? Brian said something about not bashing 17/18 year old kids who weren't coming to your school. It seems like common sense, but for some reason people always need reminding.
January 15th, 2013 at 9:01 AM ^
The more popular MGOBLOG gets, the more immature kids we're going to see here. That's why they should bring back the old point system, so we can neg people like that straight to Bolivia.
January 15th, 2013 at 10:36 AM ^
Or I can just take care of it myself. Off with his points!
(Never, ever bash a recruit on these here pages. Never. Ever. Chuckwoodson2's points will return next month. Let this serve as a warning.)
January 15th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
Hello: Chuckwoodson3
January 15th, 2013 at 11:41 AM ^
totally agree
January 14th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
Yeah... you don't know anything about him.
January 14th, 2013 at 10:59 PM ^
I don't think you fit the "Michigan Man" mold. Granted, I don't know you personally. In fact, I don't know you at all. But I trust my gut, and my gut is telling me to make a totally asinine assumption regarding your character.
January 14th, 2013 at 11:01 PM ^
No need to tear down Webb to show support for Dawson. It is a disservice to both young men. Let's be happy we've picked up another commit to finish out a fine 2013 class. It's awfully early to worry about 2014. f the past is any indication, Webb's recruitment could take some unexpected turns before it's over.
Welcome Reon. Go Blue!
January 15th, 2013 at 2:01 AM ^
ChuckWoodson2, I'd be amazed if you can name one single football player committed to another university, that fits your mold of a "Michigan man".
January 15th, 2013 at 6:08 AM ^
You are probably the first person who has said that he's not a fan of Webb.
January 14th, 2013 at 9:19 PM ^
Ok, so...he was supposed to decide Wednesday. What forced the early move? Any chance it could mean more buckle-up-ing?
I can't wait until the 26th
January 14th, 2013 at 9:23 PM ^
Bill Greene's a pretty good guy as far as premium guys go so this is probably not the case, but you can never completely eliminate the possibility that he jumped the gun just to be 1st.
January 14th, 2013 at 9:28 PM ^
Tom confirmed on the Wolverine Nation ESPN site.
January 14th, 2013 at 9:41 PM ^
Yeah, sounds like it was Dawson's wish to get it out today.
January 14th, 2013 at 9:19 PM ^
January 15th, 2013 at 2:06 AM ^
This redefines "coming in pairs"!!
January 14th, 2013 at 9:19 PM ^
Welcome Reon, congrats! Go Blue!
January 14th, 2013 at 9:29 PM ^
January 14th, 2013 at 11:02 PM ^
.....and then someone slowed it down.

January 14th, 2013 at 9:19 PM ^
Apparently the new technique is to get recruits to commit 2 days prior to when they said they will announce. I can only concur that Green will commit on the 24th.
January 14th, 2013 at 9:21 PM ^
... so who's the other commit?
January 14th, 2013 at 9:34 PM ^
Dan Samuelson just committed the other day, so I guess Reon Dawson is the other commit?
January 14th, 2013 at 9:22 PM ^
you know. Why wait till Wednesday? Welcome aboard young man
January 14th, 2013 at 9:25 PM ^
All of the Devins, all of the Dawsons - it's not just recruiting, it's acquiring the rights to names as well. I like where this is headed.
Welcome to Michigan, Reon, and Go Blue!

DB liked to fish?

January 14th, 2013 at 9:28 PM ^
I would really feel bad for the kid if this information was leaked early. However, if not I wonder if the coaching staff told the remaining kids, outside of Green, that the first to commit was only one who they would take.
January 14th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
to be made with just a call to him, rather than a press conference. I won't speculate on his reasons, but hopefully his commitment, his football career and Michigan all meet his expectations.
Welcome!

Is there any doubt that he is the luckiest man alive today?
January 15th, 2013 at 6:11 AM ^
I'm more jealous of whichever guy is on "The Bachelor" each season. A step or two down in hotness, but then multiply it by 15 or 20.
January 15th, 2013 at 9:17 AM ^
yes but then he has to go back to real life. having 20 hot chicks compete over you for a couple weeks could ruin someone for real life for the rest of their life. that could be what ruins child tv sitcom stars. not that i would not be willing to risk it mind you. just stating science.
January 15th, 2013 at 9:34 AM ^
I think what ruins child sitcom stars is the cocaine. And the guy who played Barney.
