Class of 2021 DE Kechaun Bennett (CT) Offered

[Cuse4Life]

If you’ve never been to Ann Arbor, you need to go. One of the best college towns in the country. Top 2 public schools in the country. 100k fans. Yeah we just will never compete on that level with prospects.

and for the ones we win, they most likely don’t have a committable offer at that time.

we will get wins tho. Just needs to keep grinding

Nice back handed compliment to our commits. Especially as you don't know if their offers were or weren't commitable.

this is the party line but I don't believe it to be true.

What...? Didn’t he just release his top 6 like... Yesterday? Think they said it was a use it or lose it type of scenario?

They had 2 Linebackers commit over the weekend so think they were running low on spots for OLB/Edge guys.

I agree, I've taken the kids to a bunch of Cuse football games in the dome and only 2 at the Big House and that was enough to turn them into primarily Michigan football fans. Thankfully they are locked in as Cuse bball fans forever thanks to being in the Dome when Gillon hit the half-courter to beat Duke.

There are a lot of party lines (not political) on this forum, just depends which side you are looking from.

My party line is that the only people that truly know anything about a prospects commitment are the kid, his parents and the coaches. The rest of us are just recruiting speculators.

Me thinks the spots were evaporating and he had to make a move or be denied the unique brio and amazing technicolor dreamcoat that is Jim Harbaugh.
Also available in a less pungent John Harbaugh scent.

Its exactly what happened.

 

[FloridaFan]

The sad thing is they will just use him for security while still trying to flip “higher rated” kids and then cut him loose if that happens s

Or it could just be that Michigan is a terrific school, with a blue chip football program, and he jumped at the opportunity. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

 

[money3189]

Its frustrating because we recruited him hard and had a chance to grab a elite player but this is who we are. Not sure why we have to try to find ways to discredit UMIch. We cant compete with Michigan whether they beat OSU or not .I guess it helps us feel better?

I hope that happens.

Love stuff like this. That is definitely a very common occurrence. Lots of 4 stars getting cut all over the place. Think Harbaugh let a Brody Hoke commit go because the kid wouldn't attend a camp for the new staff to see him. Good luck finding other examples.

so if we get a kid with a michigan offer, it wasn't really a committable michigan offer...but if we lose a kid with a michigan offer we can't compete. got it.

I'd venture to guess that despite you trying to downplay it, it's more likely than not the case in most situations. We might be able to keep one like Iffy away from them if they swoop in at the last minute. Pretty hard to beat them if there's a long runway.

I think we are all happy he earned a Umich offer and we noted that offer to add value to him as a Cuse commit but any kid in the New England region that Don Brown wants, he gets. Let’s be real.

Iffy was a actual battle and he chose us during a squeeze situation vs blue blood. That was a great win for us. Thats totally different than having a offer for over a year and being lower on their list of priorities

we're going to lose 95% of the time going head to head with Michigan but I'm pretty certain that lockett and morris had commitable offers. the articles written by the michigan guys never implied the offers were not committable.

fwiw even the Chicago Tribune said that Morris was offered by UM last June '19

Wide receiver Landon Morris has big plans after transferring to Nazareth

Landon Morris is a 6-foot-6 wide receiver with a scholarship offer from Michigan.

Genuine question, is KJ Williams the only other time in recent memory we won a similar battle? Obviously that never came to fruition though.

Even though Michigan came in late with offers, Iffy and Jake Pickard were legit wins. They chose us over them while they were #1 targets on Michigan boards.
