Even after a few months of serious observation, David Dawson still doesn't know which university he will attend.

Cass Tech's outstanding offensive guard, who was committed to Michigan for much of 2012 and then decommitted in October, said he's hearing primarily from three schools -- Michigan, Alabama and Ohio State -- and probably won't decide until later in January.

"Those are the three I'm listening to," he said Wednesday at the Free Press/National Football Foundation Dream Team banquet at the Dearborn Inn. "All three programs have a lot to offer, in football, academics, and Ohio State and Michigan are close to home. Alabama, that's a great program."

The decision probably will be delayed until at least late January, once his official visits are done.

Michigan will be this weekend, Alabama on Jan. 11 and Ohio State on Jan. 18.

"So my decision date will be maybe around Jan. 20 or even signing day," he said.

His criteria for the schools?

"My position coach, his record for putting kids in the league, a college and distance, even though Alabama is quite far, and other than that, the family atmosphere," he said.

Could have meant they're visiting some of the younger recruits in the Detroit area but its hard to imagine that they didn't stop by Cass Tech.

@11WRecruiting: No shock: #Michigan gets a re-commitment from OL David Dawson and pledge from #Iowa commit S Delano Hill

Calvin and Hobbes rules........Picking up Hill takes some of the sting out of losing Conely too.

2-5 spots left is the general consensus. Sam Webb said we may be able to take up to 29. That's what I read elsewhere. And that's including Dawson and Hill already.

 

[JonBenke]

good day for SCUM

How much room does scum have left in their class?

Plenty. Word is they'll take a full class, backdate 3 early enrollees (dymonte thomas, for example).


...and there are some rumblings on if the long-snapper has a scholarship or not, which could take the class to 29.
