OT: Matt Falcon

[jekelish]

This has nothing to do with anything going on at Syracuse. I just found it kind of astounding.

4-star RB recruit Matt Falcon, who was pledged to Michigan...has just flipped to Western Michigan!?

What in the hell is going on there? I just needed to share this with someone because I can't wrap my brain around it. WMU just stole a 4-star recruit from Michigan. Holy cow.

Yippee kay yay Mr. Falcon.

Didn't seem as he had much option:

Falcon, a four-star running back at Southfield, suffered a torn ACL injury to his left knee the week before his senior season. He had surgery in September and is rehabbing the injury.

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh honored Falcon's scholarship, but told him he would never play football for the Wolverines. Falcon missed the last half of his junior season due to a knee injury as well.

Fleck.

Oof, never saw that. If Harbaugh really said that to him though...yikes. That's not a good look.

Fleck is a great recruiter no matter the circumstance here. Make him our next coach and I won't complain

I wish your name was Matt Falcon, too.

No, "Brick Falcon." Or maybe "Crush Falcon" or "Steel Falcon." You choose.

"Groinpunch Falcon" maybe?

I said in the other thread that Fleck can recruit. One of the main reason he's at the top of my wish list

What's the point of honoring the scholarship then?

They would simply move him to the disqualified athlete pool. He'd get a scholarship, but it wouldn't count against the 85 football scholarships.

But I'm not sure anyone is complaining about recruiting with the current staff, shouldn't coaching be the important thing...?

How about "Blue Falcon", and we could get him a big, stupid dog with a cape?

Well he can obviously coach as well. Look at what he did with WMU. Plus he runs a big time offense.

And as far as recruiting goes, imo Shafers recruiting prowess is greatly exaggerated. I think Fleck would do much better then this current staff. Fleck is basically bringing in similar rated classes as us while he's at WMU.

 

[Scooch]

What's the point of honoring the scholarship then?

To get him to do exactly what he's doing: not come to Michigan.

Harbaugh is an ass. Everyone knows this.

That's when you call his bluff. Oh well, I'm probably not going to the NFL anyway, but I feel like getting a free Michigan education, so I will.

i'd pencil in a P.I. on all my business cards in a fine blue indigo ink. that inky slinky blue that drives the dames wild...

Right, but as Moontan said, Michigan would just medically disqualify him so he doesn't count against the 85...aka The Saban Special
