Demar Dorsey released from Michigan LOI

Post by woundedknees »

Although his academics were in order, it sounds as if 2 prior felony arrests were the main factor in his failure to gain acceptance... Wonder if "Second Chance Riley" would take him?

Dorsey, a 6'1/175 Safety, was considered possibly the Big 10's top signee for the class of 2010.

"I guess he didn't qualify to their standards," said Dorsey's father, Eddie Jackson, according to the report. "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 [he] was free again to start looking at other options."

Dorsey's decision to sign with Michigan generated controversy because he twice was charged with felonies as a juvenile. He was acquitted of a charge of robbery with a deadly weapon in 2008, and an earlier burglary charge was dismissed.

James told ESPN.com that Dorsey's issues with his admission to Michigan may have stemmed from his previous legal transgressions.

Riley might but could be a little wary about taking another player who's been in trouble. Kelly will avoid Dorsey like the plague.

It's best not to mention gloves and USC.
You wonder why I mentioned glove? ;)

Regardless, I would prefer if we stayed away from these types. We got some class acts coming up with Dungy, Mathis, White, Seastrunk, etc.
Kiffen fits in as well at USC as OJ's hand did in that glove. That's what I was drawing a comparison to.
