Frank...typically I agree with you. However, in this case, you do seem to be taking it personally. Calling a 17/18 year old young man a "headcase", a "butthurt punk", etc. are not the ways of someone who has a "strong opinion". Those are insults of someone who is upset over it.

As fans of Michigan, we should be above stooping down to the level of insulting a young recruit who we all know made a mistake. The mistake he made should be punishment enough and should not warrant additional insults on a recruiting board. Just my opinion...

This is foolish...yes, teams do have leaders and I bet Shane was a great leader for De La Salle. But to even think that he is the leader of Michigan (as the original post stated "the LEADER shows the stance of the team") is ridiculous. The leaders are Denard and Jordan. Not Shane. And now, being someone who has been in the college football game, coaches are not going to cater to their recruits wants over what it best for the program. Like I said, this is foolishness...you're better than that!

Disagree. You are implying coaches do not ask committed recruits (especially one as highly profiled as SM) their opinion. I find that highly unlikely. I am not saying they base a decision on it. However, I do believe (in certain circumstances) they ask opinions.

Good news on conley from bill green guys

Well, I should say it could be trending in a positive direction.

Positively positive

100k% true. But it was a foregone conclusion he was gone, so ill take it.

Wonder if they have given him the chance to play offense? I think it would be a good idea considering its not looking good with treadwell and it seems we might have better options at defense back.

Oh awesome thanks!

I believe so. We needed more attrition to reach 25.

Well, it helps us out if Oregon keeps stringing him along. They've been talking to him about being close to offering for months, they visited in school and didn't offer, now they want him to visit, but can't guarantee him an offer. So he basically has to decommit from Michigan and hope they find a spot for him in 2 months.

He still might end up taking a look at OSU though, so who knows. I'll be happy if he's not in Columbus this weekend and comes out for an official visit with all the other commits on Dec 14th.

Man I'm just saying, if I was in Dawson's position going through all he's going through, and I came on here and just saw pages and pages of people talking about my mind state, deeply analyzing my tweets, and calling me a head case, I'd be beyond creeped out.

Here's how I feel. Im a Michigan football fan. I want to see the best players play for Michigan so that they beat the crap out of the B1G every year. You can save all that moral BS unless it starts turning into the Auburn of the north. As far as I can tell UM has very high morals and guess what? 18-23 year old kids still get in legal trouble and break team rules every year. I'd love to see Dawson come back because he looks like he can play guard or tackle at a high level for 3 years. That's it.
