Fox said he knew last summer, when he attended UM's camp, that he was going to Michigan. How could Marshall have done anything different?
Ugh, not surprising, but still disappointing. I'm hoping there will be a day when it's expected (and common) that the top local guys want to come to CU instead of leaving the state.
Ive been thinking Michigan would win this one for awhile, I wasnt alone in that obviously. It a pretty big loss whether its an instate kid or not, hes like half instater since he isnt from here. Anyway hopefully we find some olinemen somewhere.
Doom?

Yeah, sure this sucks, and a lot of us were expecing this to a certain extent.
But I still think there's time. Embree and co should still be in this guy's ear, and he is close to his parents. Although not we don't have great chances, I'm not closing the door on him.
...of course, I thought the same about Thurston last cycle...

The door has been closed, bolted, and wood nailed in. He's not going anywhere other than Michigan.
I agree. You never really know when it comes to recruiting. Maybe we can get to him about playing closer to home. That's about the only thing CU can really use at this point.
I've seen kids flip for stranger reasons.

So you're saying that absolutely nothing can change a recruits mind in a year's time? Saying that at this point is flat out stupid.
He said in an article that he's known he was going to Michigan since last summer when he went to their OL camp. Seems pretty solid to me to jump to that conclusion.

Very solid.

Why, yes! The past is everything, unforeseen future events/actions dictate nothing.
I'm from the Chicago area & played ball there. Believe it or not, Chicago isn't a recruiting hotbed. While hs football seemed like a big deal when I played, compared to some places in the country, it's only decent.
Probably the only thing that would cause him to drop this commit would be a major scandal or them deciding they don't want him
Yep. Basketball reigns supreme there, and in the city Catholic schools (Brother Rice, etc) are almost always better than the public schools.
Anyway, next.
This is not even close to true.
Wow, people really freak out at the drop of a hat... Calm down chicken little.
CU isn't going to become a national power overnight. It will take time. The key is that we'll need to see steady improvement. But expect more let downs throughout this process!
Best of luck to Fox.

Wow. And you were all sunshine and rainbows before Fox pledged for Michigan. You must have really wanted him to be a Buff. :smile2:
That's all I'm going to say about that in this thread.
Best of luck Chris! Beat tO$U!
