Michigan Back In The Mix For Dawson

  • I think after his father was killed he got a little off course. I think he just needed time and space to see what was right in front of him.

    The spot can still be taken by somebody else.... THAT'S THE POINT. If he stayed committed, his spot wouldve been guaranteed.

    No - the point is that if a commit made a visit he would lose his offer. That is unless Hoke realized his O line sucks,then you get your offer back.

    People who question Hoke's policy, simple don't understand it. Once committed, spot is guaranteed.... Once u take visits, u won't be considered a commit and lose the guaranteed spot... It then becomes up for grabs. Michigan is in on several Oline recruits, not just Dawson. It's now about who wants it more.

    No, apparently YOU don't understand the policy. It was stated that if you committed and took a visit you would lose your scholarship offer. He took a visit, but now has his offer back.

    And he DID lose his scholarship offer. Yet, it seems like Dawson really wants to be at Michigan. Calling up Hoke and basically pleading for his offer back wouldn't suffice for 99.9% of recruits, but I'm certain that Hoke took Dawson's situation into account. He couldn't have been mentally stable after losing his father in such a tragic accident. Have a little sympathy, would ya?

    Hahahaha... stfu, clown.

    There have only been three examples of de-commitments under Hoke... One de-committed and never looked back (Brown). One de-committed yet still has the offer (Conley). One de-committed and was re-offered (Dawson). So in the end, one thing IS FOR SURE, they all are considered not committed anymore and Michigan recruited/recruiting their spot.

    Go back to Urbieland and talk about the sweet bowl game Ohio is playing in.

    They're no longer commits and their spot could be filled. Conley could be out because of McQuay or Crawfod and Dawson could lose his spot because of Hunt or Lacy.

    Nice troll attempt. Now you can kindly leave.

    I don't know kind of seems like they are backing off their rule a little bit here

    Yeah, great post idiot. Your anger is showing us you are conceding dawson to us. Do you get a moral win for being in his top group?

    problem is there are A LOT of assumptions going on regarding the rule... only thing we know for sure about it is that once committed, spot is guaranteed. Take visit, lose guaranteed spot and the staff recruits for it again. So far with the three examples we have...

    Brown was uncommitted but according to his coach in an article on Bucknuts last year (see link), -Atwood said. “Michigan is still recruiting him too.” So still recruited Brown after losing his spot. (along with others)

    Conley, what we know.... De-committed, but according to several reports Michigan IS STILL RECRUITING him. (along with others)

    Dawson, what we know... De-committed, Michigan has re-offered and is being recruited again. (along with others)

    So where exactly is Hoke contradicting himself?

    Chantel Jennings ‏@ChantelJennings OL David Dawson had a "heart-to-heart" with Brady Hoke tonight and was re-offered by Michigan

    Oh to be a fly on the wall for that conversation. I wonder if Shane's tweet conversation led to this reconciliation.

  • I think we need to keep in mind that there are other kids out there with offers as well. Anyone of them could commit at any given time. So i would think until 1 of them commit, lets see what unfolds until then. I myself love the position we are in. Its a win win

    Shane had a tweet conversation with Dawson....uh....last week? I have a really poor sense of time. Anyway, in the conversation Shane suggested that Dawson should reach out to our coaches.

    Well said my fellow Michigander!

    I would love to have this kid on the O-line, he looks to be a monster!

  • I'm actually torn on this kid. I will say that I see nothing wrong with what Hoke is doing, he has kept his word and gone after some more kids to fill the vacancy. No different than say Conley. But I'm actually starting to lean towards Hunt/Rogers/Lacey at this point. All very solid OL guys who could complete the OL class. I understand he has been through some tough times, but there is a way to search for your school and there are ways not too. If the kid commits first, I will support him, but following his recruitment he seems to be a grass is always greener type kid. I want a "through thick and thin" type kid. JMO

    Conley goes on a visit- UM says they will still recruit him.. Dawson goes on visits- Hoke reoffers..

    So basically that, "Once you are committed to UM, your committed and can't visit elsewhere" nonsense is just BS, yes?
