He was a mizzou commit but he just decommited the other day. I think I heard coaches were in school with him recently.

As I said above, I agree with WM on this one. It's more of a sign that he's still genuinely interested in OSU (which, depending who you read or listen to, wasn't the case a few weeks ago).Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.

To add to that, here's what a fairly conservative OSU insider thinks on OSU recruits:
Kyle Dodson: OUTLOOK: EXTREMELY LIKELY.
Se'Von Pittman: OUTLOOK: EXTREMELY LIKELY.
Jordan Diamond: OUTLOOK: STRONG MAYBE.
Cyrus Jones: OUTLOOK: MAYBE.
Brionte Dunn: OUTLOOK: MAYBE.
I mean, he thinks Diamond is more likely for OSU than Dunn. So, I'd very much say it's still 50/50, though there might be a slight OSU trend. Tough to say.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I'm just going on my own gut. Dunn was 100% Michigan with the turmoil in Columbus. Meyer ends the turmoil and is a huge name. OSU w/Meyer is 100 times more interesting to a recruit that OSU w/Fickell.
Meyer will tell Dunn that he will rush for 10,000 yards and 275 TD's in his offense and Dunn will sign.

I think Meyer will say whatever is necessary, to keep Dunn out of Ann Arbor. Won't matter how he plans to use him in his offense. Its more important to keep an "ohio" kid at home.
It was worth a shot, though. We started out with absolutely no chance of even a visit, .. to getting him on campus several times, and making him waver before finally giving in.
No pun intended, but I think its a done deal. He will be ohio."in order to lead America you must love America"

In other news, Michigan made an offer to Kyle Kalis' teammate and No. 34 tight end nationally Sam Grant (6-6, 240). He is currently committed to Boston College, but Michigan coaches met with him recently, and made the offer. I don't think they'd make an offer if they didn't think that they had no shot at all at him. It will be a positive sign if he visits.
This is apparently an offer that was made to make up for the de-commitment of Pharaoh Brown.

Purely speculative to say he does this but it would be interesting to have a conversation with a coach like turbin and find out how much attention he pays to keeping a recruit like Dunn out of the line-up of a major competitor like M.
My gut tells me that furbin puts a VERY HIGH value on keeping Dunn off the M roster. He's a hugely competitive guy by his nature. He's operated at a high level in all his past gigs ...... the SEC is a competitive league to say the least. Recruits count. He battled Bowden and FSU (and one most of those battles). He gets it and he gets the M/osu rivalry.
But when I check my M gear and viewpoint at the door, I have to wonder if my gut is right. If you look at the other side of it, there's a sort of brotherhood among coaches that is pretty important to them (we often think it produces a lot of dumb outcomes). Inside the brotherhood there's a lot of respect and when you disrespect, you lose that respect.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

There may something to this being UFM's first battle with Hoke. There's no question M has gone after Dunn with everything. So, winning that might be a shot across the bow.
That said, there's limited space in this class, and the list of guys they have lining up to visit is insane. It's flabbergasting. And RB isn't a huge need position for OSU. So, it wouldn't make sense to stick it to M at the expense of a highly touted recruit at a position of need.
Dunn is really good. Between the tackles he's awesome. He's not on the Chris Wells/Maurice Clarett level -- but he's right below that. And that's really good.
