Brionte Dunn: A 6-1, 222-pounder from Canton, OH, who has given a verbal commitment to Ohio State. He is a big, bruising back who gets many of his yards after initial contact. Was named to the Division I all-Ohio first team as a junior.

Scouting: 2012 RB Bri'onte Dunn
TheRinger.com - By Smith - 3/22/2011

Dunn may appear to be a classic Ohio State, ?3 yards and a cloud of dust? tailback and he certainly can fill that role. After all, he did average nearly 36 carries per game last season, racking up two thousand yards and 22 touchdowns in the process. However, he is also a true game breaker that is a threat to score from anywhere on the field. He may not be running away from defenders when he does like a Keith Marshall would be but they still have to catch him and bring him down. With his burst, there will be ground to make up and with his power there will be many who cannot. When you couple these physical abilities with Dunn?s tremendous grit and toughness, you get a truly special player. One we consider in the discussion for a coveted 5 star rating and top 5 position ranking.

Brionte says he still has his eyes open and will visit Michigan. He calls his commitment solid but he is looking at all opportunities.

Is this a surprise or anything to get worried about?

I am not pleased by this news.

Staff wanted two backs, and him committing changed the way that they recruited the other backs in his class.

They committed to him, and he committed to them.

Now he is taking visits? Not the most genuine move.

Not expecting this to be a popular post but oh well.

Eh - let him figure it out on his own and don't over-react to it.

It's his future, he should take his time since he has it and explore his options.

I should have been more specific; how much has the recent troubles caused this, or do we know? Not a cliff-jumper, just curious what sort of recruiting hit we may take.

well, if you look back a bit, there were rumors that Michigan was going to offer him or had offered him. I don't think the recent troubles have much to do with it.

As much as we hate or despise Michigan here, when a program of Michigan's status talks to a high school football player, more often than not they are going to listen.

EDIT: I'm not an expert at the recruiting wars by any means like Wadc and Grad are, but that's my take on it.

 

[osugrad21]

I will be shocked if he does not end up in Columbus.

Edit: On a side note, Hoke is selling a run-based pro offense. Rod Smith, depth chart..expect some RB hits. However, I don't see Dunn as that hit right now.

...'nuff said.

 

[NuclearBuck]

Surprised at the visit, or rumored visit, to tsun. It seems they have been after him but one would have to wonder what the events of late have done to 'open his eyes'

As loaded as we are right now and with two more potential 5* (Ball/Dunn) on their way, that's to be expected. There's only one ball and there is a TON of talent here. We might have the best stable of RB in the country right now and it's only gonna be better next year if both Ball & Dunn end up here. Everybody talked about the talent usc used to load up with, this will rival anything they ever had.

Echoing what Grad said, nobody seems to be overly concerned about losing Dunn right now, he seems to be exploring his options, which is the smart thing to do.

I have read that the staff is open to committed recruits taking visits to any school in the country, except Michigan.

Whether this is true or not, I am not sure. However if he knowingly visits Michigan knowing it is frowned upon by the staff or puts his spot in this class in jeopardy, that says a lot to me.
