'10 MI CB Dior Mathis (Oregon Verbal)

[Magua]

So much for that strong Michigan lean...

Does that not come across as a direct shot at the scUM coaching staff? Of the 5 schools he lists:

Oregon - lists positive as the coaches are "real"
MSU - lists positive as the coaches are "real"
Miami - haven't heard from them in a while
Tenn - ??
scUM - ??

He's been dropped... for now

He's been dropped... for now

Meaning scUM is not recruiting him for now?

MSU is putting together a really nice class. Their defensive recruiting is third in the conference. Dantonio will have them contending for BCS games in the near future. Michigans little brother grew 3 inches over the summer.

Apparently at Michigan's camp the coaches tried to work Mathis out at slot WR, where they are recruiting him, and he was having none of that. Looks like a mutual parting of the ways. Michigan wants him at WR, Dior is strictly against that and wants to stick with CB.

Considering Michigan looks like they will land Christian Cullen and Toney Grimes at CB within the next few months I'd say they will be fine without Dior.

If Rashad Knight doesn't get that coveted FSU offer he'll also likely be Blue.

are you kidding me? they are now turning away kids that want to come there and play their natural position on Defense, because then need to recruit more slot receivers?

Well, that is the word that is going around, but who really knows how accurate it is.

That's a big shocker.

A lot of top corner prospects still available in the 2010 class. - ESPN

Dior Mathis | Highlights
(Detroit/Cass Technical)
College: Undecided
Arguably the top corner out of the Midwest this year, Mathis lacks great size but has great cover skills and is really difficult to separate from. We like his footwork, hips, body control and ability to close the cushion hard and fast.

I just saw him Sunday sporting an Oregon Ducks fitted cap

Exactly.

First rule of recruiting is if a kid is wearing a fitted lid he's a lock. If he leaves a visit and is only wearing an adjustable, its time to move on.

He attended a Duck's practice last week which supposedly went well. Sounds like he's a pretty big Oregon lean right now.

Think about it. If I am on a visit and all they throw my way is an adjustable cap..I am outta there. I don't want to spend 2-3 years finding what position I can play on the team. Now if the coaches sit me down and offer me a fitted cap..now we're talking. Then I know I can go to that school and start from day 1. That's what I am talkin about!!!
