The Front Row

I don't think we really need him whatsoever. We need him to not go to Michigan more than we need him to come here. Thats why I want him: so he doesn't go to michigan

How can he still be "committed?" Dude said he didnt know where he was going. Most verbals while visiting other schools, still say they are going to the school they verballed to. IMO he is a decommit.

I tend to think he will wait until national signing day to make a decision since he will not enroll early. If we hold a spot for him and he goes to Michigan, then we can use that as one of our scholarships for the sanctions. The other option is to keep recruiting. If we get to the point that only his spot is left, and a better player in a position of need wants on board, you take that guy if Dunn is not ready to commit. In my opinion, he is not a verbal, he is undecided. There is no need to force his hand now, but with the way urban is recruiting, it may be necessary later.

If he commits to Ann Arbor Community College he better hope he wins because there is no love lost in that rivalry... you can talk all you want about possible sanctions and whether he fits into Meyer's offensive strategy... but at the end of the day tOSU will have the gold pants and all he'll have is a head full of bad memories. 4 years is a long time to rot at Ann Arbor Community College.

Several posters above mentioned a head / heart conflict; with the most obvious fact he might favor michigan is early playing time. He's analyzed our running back stable and sees that we won't need him for a couple of years. Dr. Watson might suggest that valuable scholies might be more frugaly spent on recruits expected to contribute next year, namely------------

If he wants to be here great. If he doesn't best of luck to him.

I still think the measure of a person is the strength of their trustworthiness. If you look someone in the eye and give a commitment and then pull out and say "it's ok, it was verbal, not in writing", I think there's something wrong with that person. No one needed a verbal when he gave it, and he gave it without duress. Everyone says one of the things wrong with the world is that people don't honor their responsibilities and commitments anymore. And we're here saying "it's ok, he's only 18." At what age does a man's word really supposed to mean something? 19? 20? 35? Then he switches and commits to the very school that's your biggest rival? How many hundreds of colleges out there, and he chooses Ann Arbor College and we're all saying "Cool. He's only 18." How does anyone trust that person? If it was about Tressel he could have switched anytime in the last half year since he's been gone. I'm being harsh, I know, but I think it points to character. I don't see how it doesn't.

He can switch, this isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of the world, but people who break their commitments rarely think they are the ones worse off for it. We'll be fine whatever he does, but what is he learning?

You are thinking of Tyrell Sutton and Jenkins not Aaron Brown with the Block O. Brown was in the same class with Justin Boren when we offered Boren, Brown and Smith and only go Connor Smith.

I think he has...watch what they do and not what they say. Point blank told Meyer he wasn't 100% sure...If I'm Meyer I go to his house Tuesday and ask one final time. If he cannot give me a 100% commit then say thanks but no thanks.

Use the scholarship on a linebacker or OL...OR ANY OTHER ELITE YOU CAN GET.

We are in on Green and Isaac for 2013 and look great for getting both.

I agree that Meyer should give him a hard deadline, especially since he has other positions of need for his offense. Seems fair to me.

And just a fyi...I'd call Michigan the early favorite for Isaac.

I have much more respect for Dunn than I do FlaKalis. I think he is genuinely confused and is trying to do what is best for his future. He didn't instantly bail like others did, so lets give him the benefit of the doubt for now. If he turns, then we can hate on him

I'd rather have the Scholly than Dunn. RB is the least of our worries right now, we've got 4 and 5 star studs lining up at positions of need that i'd rather burn this one on.
