Ryan Mallett called Dionte last night to push a commitment to Michigan. He does want to check out FSU. Dionte says he was thinking of Michigan during the tOSU spring game and knows he will be shown major attention by committing there.

Think of Dionte and Ronald as a Glenville type situation for Michigan. They will look around and talk about other schools...but there is zero doubt where they will go.

just curious, but how do you recruit a player like this? obviously you want a player like Allen on your team, but with the chances being so slim do you approach him different than say an Oglesby or Martin who are both torn? or even a Glenville kid who will more than likely end up here?

Not sure if there is anything you can do besides toss your hat in the ring and hope for the best...if Coach English did not return to Ann Arbor, this would be a different story.

As for Oglesby, he is not torn...but that is for another thread.

Good, in-depth read from Gary Housteau. Dionte admits he is very close to the Michigan staff but he is also very impressed with tOSU after watching the Spring Game and seeing the staff's interaction with Aaron Gant. He says he is not a Michigan lock and was also impressed with Donte's draft position.

What is the reason for even commenting like that when you know that you're Scum bound??? Has the situation changed any, for anyone in the know???

just in case something happens at Michigan (ie a certain coach retires and the AD nukes the entire staff and starts over) he's got options to go elsewhere. Reading that article, I think its clear. He's going to Michigan, but he still like to see what's out there in case that doesn't work out for some reason.

Its a smart move on his part, considering the heat on the staff at Michigan to win this year. I can't say I have a problem with him exploring all of his options.

Have Allen and Johnson set a timetable to decide? If scUM has another sub-par season, I think at least half of the staff is gone. That would open the door for OSU if they are deciding around January-NLOI day.
