Didn't Anthony Standifer fall victim to that policy as well? Or was that something else?
Not sure about Standifer, Michigan may have dropped him due to grades.
I thought there was more than 2 guys that got dropped from Michigan's class, but that's all I could come up with.

Now that hurts. It really hurts. You're a master at calling people names and pretending to know what a bunch of people thought several months ago. You know what I think? I think you should make a living doing it. No joke. You're a natural talent. Mr. Namecalling Retrospeculation Guy. Bud light would make a "Real Men of Genius" commercial about you and everything.

Thanks clarkW- sorry I didn't interject earlier guys but thats right, Conley spoke with Mattison last week and Mattison never told him his scholarship was taken. It all depends on if he makes those other visits. Sounds like he is hesitant to make those visits without an offer on the table.

I thought OSU offered? Oregon fans have a right to be bitching then. From what I gathered on their site Oregon staff doesn't want to offer unless he trips. That way they'll know there's genuine interest. UM might have in fall right back in their lap due to Oregons dumb strategy.

It's funny for folks here to think BN has insider information on Conley when the infamous "BN Staff" has never mentioned the one reason he really wants to check out Oregon...because his parents are divorced and his mom lives there and wants her son out west.
Seems like a decent piece of information any real insider would know.

I'm positive if I dig it up when Conley commited to UofM BN fans were saying things like OSU scraps, not good enough to get an OSU offer etc, but now he's the best corner in Ohio?

Well, when you ask your girlfriend to marry you after having known her for only a few weeks (and she's still in high school), this is kind of what happens. Brady Hoke's recruiting style kind of resembles the same approach non BCS schools take. Offer early with an extremely grand gesture or visiting experience, hope for an emotional high from the kid which results in an early commitment, then hope like crazy that the pressure of the guy having already given his word means he sticks around. The problem with that approach is that sometimes, the kid will realize he committed too early without ever getting to experience other opportunities. Sure, many of these kids will stick with their commitment (maybe because genuinely like the school, or they've made friends with future teammates, or they do regret committing early but don't want to make people angry by wanting to look around). However, you can't fault anyone (especially a kid in high school) for wanting to take a look around after prematurely making a selection based on an emotional high. The Hokester is especially daft for his whole "But you already gave your word! If you leave now, you can NEVER come back" policy. These are kids in high school. Pressuring them into an early decision and then rebuking them for thinking that maybe they should've looked around a little more is pretty stupid.
