Count 'Bility Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Sharp and Benning may have the context of Mattison's context pinned. Saying it was a way of selling the prestige of Michigan and the the degree. But that it's still a very backhanded and arrogant way of doing it. And that there's really no reason to even go there. Both sides already knew that football was the ONLY reason for any interest on both sides. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Staff did some nice work securing his commitment, but the reality is, we should ALWAYS secure commitments from the state's top talent. One thing worth noting: He was originally from Texas? So it's not like he was born and raised as a Husker. I might be wrong, so if I am just let me know. I don't remember the locations exactly but you are correct that he hasn't lived in Nebraska his whole life. Quote Link to comment

I, for one, am as shocked as Bill Belichick. 2 Quote Link to comment

mnhusker Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Neal said Michigan came in and said that if it wasn't for football, he wouldn't get into Michigan. Neal said it felt like they were calling him poor and dumb. That ended the wolverines chances. His dad said Michigan was basically escorted out of his home after that statement. Wow....that is an impressive recruiting tactic. It seems to me like he was trying to say that Michigan was a great academic school and Daishon's grades were not good enough to merit entry. Fortunately, through football, he could have access to that level of education. I understand it was not taken that way but I doubt that Mattison would shove his foot that far in his mouth. This is not his first rodeo. edit: huskerhill beat me to it. Darn my slow fingers... Sounds to me like he was saying that at Michigan we bend our rules for the football team. .......... I did not bother looking but Uof M is a huge public school so my guess is that while they have some standards they are not Stanford. Maybe Harbaugh forgot that he can not use the Academic prestige of his school to steal from other teams like he may have done at Stanford. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Gregg Henson @GreggHenson · 14h Mattison has likely said the same thing to thousands of recruits, this kid just is entitled. Someone sounds butthurt. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm sorry but how many of us would of reacted the same way? Depending on how it was said I could see many people being turned off by it Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Gregg Henson @GreggHenson · 14h Mattison has likely said the same thing to thousands of recruits, this kid just is entitled. Someone sounds butthurt. Or maybe not all of the ones who were pissed off by it actually told him so. Quote Link to comment

Someone sounds butthurt. Is this guy a Wolverine blogger? If so, not sure how he can refer to anyone outside of UM as "entitled". Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thank you for your piss-poor phrasing Mr Mattison. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A Michigan fan calling anyone entitled is the very definition of being a hypocrite. Quote Link to comment
