Father: Dorsey released from U-M commitment

Angelique S. CHengelis / The Detroit News

The father of Michigan recruit Demar Dorsey said his son is now free to look at other college options.
Dorsey, a four-star recruit from Boyd Anderson in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has signed and returned papers to Michigan that release him from the letter of intent he signed in February, his father, Eddie Jackson, told The News Wednesday morning.
Jackson said Dorsey met Michigan's academic-entrance requirements with an 18 ACT and a 2.5 grade-point average.

"He signed a letter of intent but basically what happened, I guess he didn't qualify to their standards," Jackson said. "Admissions sent him a letter that they weren't going to admit him to the school and said to disregard the other letter (of intent) and was free again to start looking at other options."

"Which I respect him for that," Jackson said of Magee. "We always asked for honest. He said things were looking hectic, and it doesn't look like he's getting in. The coaches did everything they possibly can. Everything, I heard, came from admissions
"My understanding was everything was good with his grades. He was doing his work in school, which he had slacked up on in the beginning. He started doing exactly what he needed to do."

Jackson said he and his family bear no ill will toward Michigan.
"No, none at all," he said. "Things happen for a reason, and that's how I look at everything. That's how I keep my kids' spirits up. I've told (Dorsey) that good always comes from things.

"It's very disappointing, because he looked forward to going there. He's keeping his head up. You live and you learn. Maybe God has a different plan.
Dorsey, according to his father, was most looking forward to playing with his cousin, Robinson.

That's a classy response from the Dorsey family.

all right, time to move on from him then. Sorry it didn't work out, good luck. The shame is he seems like a good kid who has handled himself well during this process, even though everyone thinks he's a gangsta. Hopefully he stays on the straight and narrow.

Not to tell anybody else what to do, but I'm thinkin' Miami would be an ill-favored choice, given Dorsey's history.

I am actually surprised that Randy has them in the mix (if those school really are after him). All I have heard the last couple of years down here is how Randy has "cleaned up the image" of Thug U. I would be quite surprised he ended up at Miami with his past, regardless of what he has done to rectify with the county/state. JMO, though.

Michigan A.D. calls notion he kept recruit from being admitted 'ridiculous'

Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon shot down what he called sensationalism surrounding football recruit Demar Dorsey and suggestions there is some athletic department-generated conspiracy to not allow the four-star cornerback admission to the university.
Dorsey's father, Eddie Jackson, on Wednesday morning told The News his son had signed and sent release forms from Michigan and is free to look at other college options. Dorsey, projected to be a significant contributor this fall, signed a letter of intent with Michigan last February.
Although his father said his son met academic test requirements for Michigan, he will not be admitted.
This has sparked considerable controversy regarding Dorsey, and why he no longer will be a Wolverine this fall. Brandon, who wouldn't discuss specifics during an interview Wednesday afternoon, said this was strictly a decision made by the university's admissions office.
"This is a decision that is owned by the admissions department, our admissions office," Brandon said. "It's always been owned by the admissions office. It is not unusual for a letter of intent to be signed with a prospective student-athlete where there's far more that needs to be done for the student-athlete to be admitted. It involves course work, it involves test scores, and a variety of criteria some of which is fact-based and where and how they went about improving their test scores."
Brandon balked at the suggestion he had anything to do with Dorsey not gaining admission.
"That's ridiculous," Brandon said. "Admissions is not part of my portfolio at this university. I've got plenty else that I'm doing.
"The misinformation is the athletic department is involved and there is some conspiracy involved. In this particular case, and, frankly, other cases, the admissions office concluded and made a judgment.
"I think it's unfortunate this particular young man is being singled out with the sensationalism around this, in light of the fact this has happened before and it will happen again. Not everybody passes the test by the admissions department to come to Michigan. And we are not at liberty to talk about the reasons behind a prospective student not being admitted."
