10 turnovers in 2 games is enough for any head coach to lose his mind on the sideline. Brian Kelly has spent a lot of last week explaining his behavior on the sideline of the South Florida game.
He had a couple of flare ups during the Michigan game but nothing major and do you want to know why?
He had a Grad assistant or team manager tap him on the back or shoulder when he started to lose his cool. If you re-watch the game, check it out. It is pretty clear on TV a couple of times. Many times, Kelly turns his back to the TV cameras when talking to players on Saturday Night.
I heard a Kelly interview about a month ago on ESPN radio, he said the #1 key to a successful season was success early. They are now 0-2 with MSU paying a visit to South Bend this weekend. Call in the tapper!
BTW: How did ND's last two trips to the State of Michigan turn out? 80 yards in 28 seconds for a loss at the Big House and the fake OT field goal in East Lansing. Not a very good home coming for the former GVSU and CMU coach.
2013 in the house!
The excitement of the entire day has moved at least one kid to verbal to Michigan. The first player to drop a commitment for Michigan is Ohio athlete Dymonte Thomas. Dymonte plays running back and safety in high school but probably projects to safety at the next level. Mgoblog did a great write up of Dymonte, so I won't re-create but he is a nice addition to 5 star QB Shane Morris in the 2013 class. DT had offers from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Pitt, Tennessee, UCLA, and West Virginia, he also had interest from Ohio State, Alabama, Florida, Cincinnati, and Northwestern. He is expected to be a 4 star recruit when the rest of the 2013 rankings come out.
The wild card here is that Dymonte is cousins with 2012 RB Brionte Dunn. This can only work in Michigan's favor of persuading Brionte to Ann Arbor next Fall.
2012 Recruiting Updates
- The uncommitted 3: Banner, Payton and O'Brien all had incredible things to say about the ND experience. There was even a rumor that Danny O had committed on Saturday. That turned out not to be true and his tentative announcement date is 10/7. Keep an eye on Payton for commitment watch this week.
- Yuri Wright is planning to visit A2 for the SDSU or Minnesota games.
- The rumor mill is also saying that Michigan just needs to get Amara Darboh's guardians on campus in Ann Arbor for the Iowa WR to commit to the Wolverines.
