Matt D. That is recruiting. If Cassius Winston decides to commit to Michigan tomm, then Michigan takes Winston, Thorton losses his potential spot. Thorton had a chance to chose UM. It happens every year with every team. Were you not aware of this?Your correct, it is very elementary. Coleman set up his visit… Two weeks too late. We offered multiple players at his position, Robinson included. DR wanted UM right away.
Again, you haven’t answered my question. How is it so that Coleman didn’t have a chance to choose UM? He took multiple unofficals during the season (not to UM), he had plenty of time to commit. Your stance is very much of a hurt fan of a particular recruit.
And if you really think I take the stance of “let’s not question the staff”, Can I not turn it right back on you and say, how can you question a staff that has been so successful?
Bottom line. Coleman had over a year to commit, we offered 2-3 others at his spot after sensing JC was going to drag it out a bit more. DR dropped. It will happen again, promise.
You are correct, it is elementary, we offered multiple players for the 2G spot, problem with your logic is that it assumes we will only take 1 player for that spot…when nothing could be further from the truth. We took Robinson, but that didn’t impede the staff from pursuing Dozier who is also a 2…so your logic doesn’t hold weight. The staff chose Robinson over Coleman exclusively…has nothing to do with position, just preference of the staff, which effectively implies the staff made the decision for Coleman rather than Coleman taking too long. Long story short, if Robinson doesn’t come along, we wait it out for Coleman…so this whole Coleman had his chance argument is lacking, the staff simply liked Robinson better, and that’s fine. I don’t agree with that assessment, and I’m sure many others feel the same, but let’s call it how it is rather than how we may want it to be.
You can certainly turn it back on me…I have no problem expressly admitting that I question the staff, regardless of very recent success. I evaluate individual moves irrelevant of historical success or failure…to do otherwise flaws the evaluation in my opinion, but that’s just me.
