'24 LA DL Dominick McKinley (LSU commit)

To the group that likes to claim the staff can’t close:

More and more stories are coming out about our recruits being offered the bag at the last minute from other schools but they stuck with their commitment to UT based on the relationships that had been built over the past few years. It is apparent that is the way our staff goes about recruiting. They identify their targets early, build relationships and the kids typically commit for the right reasons and hold firm to their commitments. I’d say having drama free signing days like we’ve had with CJH and crew the past few years is in fact the staff closing.

Hoping for a big day,

Thanks Deke,

In my decades following recruiting, hadnt encountered the relationships take👍🏻

Anyway, moving on. Teams are going to do what they do NIL wise, my question is how do we counter? Moving forward we need to land some of those guys.

Now, gotta go finish in the portal.

Just curious, but why like that he has canceled his visit to us? He would have filled a big-time need.
 
Harbaugh should be getting a show-clause, so it’s NFL or the couch.
He can still coach with a show cause, only question would be if Michigan was willing to accept everything that possibly comes with that.

No he can coach while he’s under a show-cause. He may be suspended for a year, although that’s unlikely, but a show-cause penalty doesn’t mean that a coach can not be hired/retained during that period of time.
Huh? Maybe I was misinformed but I thought any coach with a show cause was essentially suspended from coaching for however long the penalty was

No. A show cause just means that you have to “show cause” to the NCAA why you are hiring/retaining the coach and that you believe he has or will operate under the rules. The NCAA can penalize the school (fine, scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions) but a show case doesn’t mean that a coach cannot be hired/retained if they are hit with a show cause penalty.

The penalty would be a bowl ban most likely and no school would come near that till the penalty is over…

He can be hired or retained, but it would be stupid because the NCAA would first have to approve the hire or retention and then the university would be subject to all the other penalties handed down for the length of the show cause. This, while it’s “possible”, it’s 99.99999999999% never going to happen. The guy becomes unhireable.

Depends on who the coach is and how serious the transgressions were. I don’t think for a second that the NCAA, especially in this day and age, would hammer Michigan so severely that they would feel the need to cut ties with Harbaugh.
 
Just our fans imagining the NCAA would treat Michigan like they would UT. Silly, naive Vol fans.
Interesting thing here is UT investigated and admitted everything. Michigan is denying and finger pointing at other teams.

Two very different approaches especially if Michigan wins NC, does NCAA go the vacating route like they did with UT.

Also its a lot harder to hire someone with a show cause than dontinue employment of someone with a show cause.
