Only because they know it's a waste of timeAccording to 247, Michigan hasn't even offered him.

And it's not new...
Keep in mind that in the 50's Minneapolis tore down multiple city blocks that had became known as Skid Row due to rampant alcoholism and a mini economy built around it - flop houses, cheap bars, winos, prostitution, assaults...This isn't a new problem, and it's not unique to our town.
No but the former residents became city council members and Mayors.I wasn't around back in the '50's, but am curious what ever happened to the people who lived/hung out at that Skid Row location??
By tearing down those 'multiple city blocks' in Minneapolis, did the 'problem' magically go away?
He gone.
Ha! Moby Dicks! A whale of a drink! Old Block E? 1960's thru the early 80's?DT Minneapolis absolutely has some sketchy characters. I'm all for services for the homeless, and I will be vulnerable in saying I also don't want to wade through a sea of homeless people at night, some of whom are addicted, unpredictable, or in need of help.
With all that said, there is not a downtown metropolis in America that isn't facing similar problems.

Maybe I don't have a point that's unique, just sayin Minneapolis is not a mad max post-apocalyptic hellscape...no, it's just a major city, and major cities are dangerous as compared to rural areas. I'm hopeful the football team isn't bopping around at midnight on Hennepin.

FANTASTIC documentary - read the book as well!You gotta watch lost twin cities and see the amount of empty glass bottles laying around. Impressive

If you have any stories you can share, I'd legit love to hear them!Ha! Moby Dicks! A whale of a drink! Old Block E? 1960's thru the early 80's?
We're a much better place for a RB to excel than Indiana. Plus, he said he was "thankful" not "blessed"!He gone.
Perhaps later. It's just a simple MCC Story. On the way, you'd see hard times on Hennepin Ave (Downtown).If you have any stories you can share, I'd legit love to hear them!
Something about major cities in this time is really fascinating.
NY in the 70's and 80's in particular....man, seeing footage of the Bronx back then is just shocking.
Wow. He earned it, so congrats to him. Minnesota fatalism kicking in would say, "he gone," but maybe PJ has built up enough capital to keep him in the boat.
Michigan has offered...
If we are going to lose him I would assume it will happen pretty quickly. If he stays committed even after the Michigan offer then I don't think there is anything else to worry about. Fingers crossed he stays true to his commitment.Wow. He earned it, so congrats to him.

Michigan already has 2 RBs committed for 2023. Will be interesting to see if he thinks he can play ahead of the two (4 and 3 stars respectively) mentioned in the linked article.If we are going to lose him I would assume it will happen pretty quickly.

you never know on running backs and qbs. like we got decimated once mo said he was coming back and tanner announced all qbs and rb left. having players come back for 6 years is not a great thing for people in the wing. this day and age they want to play our else they are transferinginteresting that they even offered with the other 2 RB commits. not sure what they are exactly thinking in this transfer happy world. but lets hope he doesnt fall in love with it.
Their leading rusher is a Junior
Next guy on the chart is a 4 star sophomore
And the true freshman they signed last year even has 30 some carries.

Or they want to get paid.you never know on running backs and qbs. like we got decimated once mo said he was coming back and tanner announced all qbs and rb left. having players come back for 6 years is not a great thing for people in the wing. this day and age they want to play our else they are transfering
They wouldn’t have accepted the commitment or even had offered if they didn’t want the guy.One of the RBs that’s committed to Michigan isn’t very highly rated if I remember correctly so they could be looking to upgrade that 2nd RB. Hoping he sticks with his commitment.
I’m sure this happens at times.They wouldn’t have accepted the commitment or even had offered if they didn’t want the guy.
It happens all the time. If they get someone better, the other recruit will “decommit”.They wouldn’t have accepted the commitment or even had offered if they didn’t want the guy.
It is pretty much a bridge burner to pull this move though. It happens often enough, but I wouldn’t say it is standard practice.It happens all the time. If they get someone better, the other recruit will “decommit”.
