[KMAC_ATTACK]

Interesting development with this young man that we had offered and after being committed to Michigan, they said they may not have room for him....so he decommitted!

Good size and incredible edge speed....thats what our defense needs.....

Please CMC - go get this dude signed up, show him he can again be a plan A and not Plan B....

If the new staff was on him, I'm guessing the call has been made.

 

[AWOL2000]

We already did and offered I believe

Unbelievable the crap Harbaugh is pulling with kids over there. I understand that cfb is a business but this is just wrong.

Were you mad when Fred Hoiberg did it so we could get Kane?

We have "focus-town". That was the lynchpin

Is it any different than say telling existing kids already on scholarship that we don't have a scholly for u anymore? Just curious as to what your thoughts are on that.

Maybe Terry Allen's kid will think twice before going to Michigan.

That's my first reaction, too. But, then, frequently, kids decommit, or if they stay committed continue to visit other schools . . . two-way street these days, I guess.

They do not pull scholarships. They do invite individuals into private meetings in coach's offices and lay it out that they are so far down the depth chart that they will never see the field. And they will help them find another school where they can compete thru coaching connections.

Sometimes they are pulled. To avoid any issues about recent players I will go with Tim Floyd. He literally cleaned house on JOs players that weren't what he wanted. Had a couple that I spoke with that said scholly was gone and they had an open transfer.

You're blind living in fantasy land if you don't think all good teams do that type of stuff. That's why they are good, because they do what it takes to get good and stay good.

A little different. Different coaches, different styles where existing players may not fit the new regime's template.
Harbaugh is offering then unoffering. One person on both the giving and not giving side of the equation.

Not saying it's RIGHT, but there is a difference.

If it wasn't Harbaugh and Michigan it probably would never have been news. This probably happens way more often than most care to believe. Had a guy on my floor when I was at ISU that had a scholarship offer to play football for ISU then ISU pulled the offer when he blew his knee out during his senior season of HS. By the time he had rehabbed it was too late to try to walk on. Granted that is a little different than someone who is healthy but in an age where kids are backing out of commitments or transferrring I really don't see a big issue with this and if the kid is any good he will surely find another good offer. It's still before signing day, it's not like this kid signed with Michigan then a week later Harbaugh needed the scholarship to scoop up a kid that hadn't signed yet.

I thought the BIG was offering solid four year schollies. Wait. They get pulled before they sign?

Pulling due to injuries or question marks happens all the time. ISU pulled my offer due to an injury my senior year as did every other D1 program. Things still worked out great for me, just not at ISU. I obviously held no grudge against ISU or any other school, it's part of the recruiting game. I wasn't medically cleared until after signing day so the schools had to do what they had to do. Especially on my injury as there was a chance i may never get back to full strength.
