Pete Nance To NW
would suggest he didn't want to deal with a Johns-Livers-Matthews log jam at the wing/PF spot.
that tied us to the Mo Bamba/Greer Love booster/impermissible benefits possible situation that were all started when Harbaugh came here that indicated that Beilein is dirty, and it scared him off because the RCMB posters tied it up all so clearly and concisely.
that too.
might just be the most underrated comedic actor. I have never seen him play a non-serious role that didn't make me laugh.
Everyone is smiling but Donlon, who looks rather unhappy.
Don't ask me to try and embed it,
embed the photo?
Maybe the recent commit of Johns? That's the only significant development recently; unless the Donlon move to NW influenced his decision?
At it again...
C'mon mang... It ruins the joke when you turn right around and explain it.
Darren Rovell slyly dropping some of that Twitter money.
This is the only acceptable response
I should have qualified further: This is the only acceptable laughter-inducing response.
We all know the possible reasons why Nance committed to NW:
1. Johns signing + mutual interest in other forwards
2. Donlon hiring
3. Perhaps non-committable UM offer
4. Collins buzz
5. NW infrastructure upgrades*
The thought of a NW bagman doling out cash to 3 star recruits is hilarious, especially since the bagman bogeyman is the knee jerk response of so many posters around here whenever we lose a recruit.
*Perhaps sarcastic
Non-commitable offer...are we really going full M-Live on this one? That's what we're doing? M-Live?
Fine, I didn't want him...he was overrated and a backup plan.
Not sad. Good luck to the kid.
I'm with you. When I saw this post, I was actually relieved. If he had his Dad's and brother's athleticism, I would feel differently...but he doesn't.
UMbig11's first miss! I honestly never thought I'd see the day...
this was absolutely a done deal. Circumstances changed with the visit and Donlon.
But I don't think an assistant coach leaving should sway your plans, especially if they are that solid.
It is about the program, the campus, the opportunity, the overall experience at Michigan. Not Billy Donlon.
Which leads me to believe that the whole idea that he was an M lock was far from true.
Says you may be right.

So Donlon was sort of the WD-40?
If they're an English philosopher advocating individual rights and liberties, they're a John Locke.
Well, in this case it wasnt just an assistant coach leaving, but an AC leaving and going to the other school in his top-2. If he really liked Donlon, and it was close between the two, its not hard to think that Donlon switching allegiances could have a little sway for the kid.
coach and head coach. Donlon was obviously the primary recruiter and he liked Donlon.
Recruiting is mainly about relationship.
but he may take his recruitment out to late Summer. I do think he's a commit watch type prospect if offered though.
So does this mean that FauxMo was right, and UMBig11 is a farce?
Absolutely!
Surprised, but not shocked. He even cancelled his visit this weekend. It happens. I'll own it.
