Dawson ends up with the good guys. This is Terry Richardson all over again.
Although it must be said again: One of the things about having 2 available scholarships in July is that there's a likelihood that one of your 20+ guys will decommit. Personally, I'd rather have the class we have now in the fold early and try to keep them committed than still have these guys uncommitted and trying to win them over.
I can deal with a decommit or two when Hoke's got a class like this pretty much wrapped up on July 6.

Read that too, I heard nobody was solid on us. We should just restart this entire recruiting class.

Yeah it was really obvious with Todd hinting at it and whatnot. I mean, who actually fell for the "If this class had to be restarted, who would you want most?"? I saw through it immediately.
This is Michigan, fergodsakes.

Hoke had an interview on BTN where he mentioned dealing with kids decommitting. I remember not making too much of it, but now and after a few of his interviews with some indirect directness I wonder.

He's a CT kid. Even if he decomits, he'll likely commit back to Michigan when he realizes all his friends are going to play fball at Michigan.

I think this is one of the things that guys on here are flipping out about. Lets say (hypothetically speaking) that he DOES decommit .. what makes you think he'll have a spot if he were to come back around and want to be part of the good guys?
I have no inside sources, and I dont know any more or less than your average fan .. but I'm pretty sure this situation is what the fan base wants to avoid.

Yeah, I hear that message board speculators are more accurate than what he says himself.
