Oh but if he committed by voicemail you'd be just as angry? I don't think its about the medium here i think your just mad he decommited at all

[id=tmppasteie1219249235864]It is kind of a crappy way of doing it though dont you think? Dont think Kevin handled it the right way but how do we know that he didnt talk to Rod about it before he decommited on the voicmail? I mean no one except Coach Rod and Kevin really know how much they have been talking to eachother.

I believe they are allowed to talk once per week per NCAA recruiting rules.

I want to hear what Kevin has to say, so far everything i have read, was quotes from his Dad, or the recruiting sites.
What i don't get is why Scout would happen to just call him on the day he decided to re open his recruitment. That seems odd.

We know when he visited here, both he and his family had nothing but good things to say about Michigan, They went as far as to say they left with no doubts or concerns. Then just a few weeks ago Kevin at the Top Gun camp in FL was hanging out with Bryce, Big Will and Shaq and reaffirmed his commitment to Michigan, So what has happened in these last 2 weeks to change his mind. I would think this has got so much press, Keven will have to talk about this, and I want to hear what he has to say. I just don't believe he is afraid to compete, if anything i would bet on pressure from people in Va for him to stay in state.

Not sure if this is premium or not but here is an interview with Newsome about his decommittment

http://www.rivals.com/video.asp?section=football&pkey=&vidtype=publisher&vidid=5542

After watching the video it seems that he is probably getting outside pressure to look at schools close to home.  He said Michigan is great about 15 times, and I am sure that we are still at the top of his list.  I do not fault the kid for decommitting because I never really count guys until there is ink on paper.

Two completely different scenarios.  IF he bailed out on Michigan and did it by leaving a VM that is so beyond weak it's not funny.  Man up and have the nads to talk directly to Rod.  If you're signing on with someone, then leaving a VM to say, "Hey, I'm on board.  Give me a call as soon as you can" is totally acceptable.  But then again, that's the difference between a 17-yr old kid and a man so what can you do?  Of course this is assuming that he did it this way.  I don't know if we know what really happened here.

The bottom line is the kid is free to do what he wants and maybe he got a little over-excited and didn't think it all the way through.  Kids do that.  I'm not going to hate on the guy for that but if he's doing it to avoid competition then that's not a guy I'd want in the first place.

According to Newsome, if "every aspect of Michigan is good" and he would "tell anyone how great Michigan is", then why is he looking elsewhere.

Sounds like he has no plans of coming here in the fall.

His dad seems to be VERY involved and most of the time speaks for him.

Thats kind of the point. Who does that, its not classy? Either way its not classy. Its disrespectfull imo. BTW im personally not mad, but its still imo disrespectufll.

If you don't understand why I have a problem with bring in Tate Forcier, check out the Forcier's website. The whole Forcier family rubs me the wrong way, from the over involved father all the way down the line.

And no I`m not questioning RR, I`m going based off RR, KN was target #1 over Forcier and any other QB for a reason. We're only now going hard after Tate because Kevin decommitted. Only now did an official visit get set up.
