You have no idea what that offer or other big time program offer like USC or Alabama etc would do to his recruitment. Look at how many decommits there were last year and that was where they were comitted, Gordon hasn't even committed yet. People were calling Ingram a lock last year and coach $aban offered.

Going from film I think that Dion Sims could play wide reciever in college if he doesnt get much bigger, some kids develop early you never know. I could certainly see him in a Mike Williams type role. I think Sims has just as much potential if not more at DE and rush LB as he does at TE. For every Antonio Gates, there are a lot more WR's that make that type of impact.

I think KFD only having 30 catches was because KFD just wasn't that great and also because John L was a bad coach not getting him the ball. Good coaches get the ball to their best players no matter what the system, if John L was a good coach his spread system would not have been much of a hindrance.

Well we are only taking one more wide receiver. Gordon knows this and is expected to verbal soon so he doesn't lose his spot.

As for how many decommits there were last year. Yeah and how many did MSU have?? That answer would be 0.

Michigan could offer down the road but it wouldn't affect anything. U of M has lost to much ground.

Also no one was calling Ingram a lock. Yeah we felt confident on him but after he said he was taking visits he wasn't a lock by any means.

I am a Michigan fan because I don't think Gordon is a lock? Um, ok, like I said I think we get him, but I certainly wouldn't call him a lock. With the higher profile commits we are getting this year compared to last year it is going to be harder to hang on to every recruit. Every team in the country wants guys like Baker, Sims, etc the more big time recruits you get like that the more elite programs offer and go all out to get him no matter what. Now I am not saying that any of these guys will flip flop I am just saying there is a greater possibility than last year when Fred Smith was the only guy we got who got much national publicity. I also don't agree that people weren't calling Ingram a lock, obviously everybody wasn't, but there were definitely some that were.
