Nope the Jersey shot is without M as well.
December 19th, 2022 at 4:50 PM ^
Speculation is it could be gamesmanship. But with these kids you never know.
December 19th, 2022 at 7:03 PM ^
This makes it seem like he is guaranteed to pull some sort of Michigan gear out of somewhere at his announcement and end up with the good guys
December 19th, 2022 at 8:43 PM ^
one thing to remember is that teams have their own "board" and recruiting-ranking services have their own "board"
when these kids get gassed up into the recruiting-sites higher-rankings, that doesn't inherently mean that any given coach/program feels the same way (padless camps are a great way to show how fast/talented you are when it comes to playing padless and at a camp)
and now with the NIL, recruits might feel their "stock has gone up", but, again, coaches have their own boards (let alone "needs", "priority", "fit", "reaches", etc.)
do i know that that's the case here? not at all, i have no clue. but i assure you there's a lot more (and less) going on with coaches/recruits/programs than what social media/pundits portray (otherwise we'd all be crypto bajillionaires and i'd be trying to charter an expedition to explore far beyond the gigantic ice wall that apparently surrounds us all 😎)
December 19th, 2022 at 9:07 PM ^
Yeah, something happened. My guess is the bag was asked for and the bag was not given.
this is a good corner, but we can make up for it on the back end. He was all M last week so if he isn’t now all of a sudden y’all should understand some plate tectonics shifted
December 20th, 2022 at 9:07 AM ^
the bag giveth, and the bag is ignored by the ncaa
December 19th, 2022 at 4:50 PM ^
Hopefully he's just trolling those 5 fan bases
December 19th, 2022 at 5:36 PM ^
Jyaire Hill to all the Nervous Nellies -
December 19th, 2022 at 5:47 PM ^
Jyaire Hill is Keyser Söze.
December 19th, 2022 at 6:00 PM ^
Not trolling, which would have been a dick move.
December 19th, 2022 at 4:52 PM ^
Bring on Tony Grimes, Fentrell Cypress, or someone else in the portal then.
December 19th, 2022 at 4:52 PM ^
Man, I'd love it if he pulled a bait and switch by choosing Michigan anyway...
December 19th, 2022 at 6:00 PM ^
You are freaking out [long pause], man
December 19th, 2022 at 4:54 PM ^
Bizarre.
December 19th, 2022 at 5:10 PM ^
'CROOTIN'
December 19th, 2022 at 4:55 PM ^
Lol. Weren’t there CBs in for him to go to Michigan just this past week? Love it. ‘Cruitin!
December 19th, 2022 at 4:57 PM ^
He was interested in Illinois and the D Coordinator went to Purdue so that may be where they came from. On UK and Missouri I have no idea.
December 19th, 2022 at 4:57 PM ^
Yep, multiple CBs in for Michigan and now we all of the sudden don't even make his top 5
December 19th, 2022 at 5:08 PM ^
Doesn’t make sense. I get him going to Purdue now. But, with all the time that both parties have spent the last couple of months, seems more like a dig at this point. In any case, good luck to the kid. Sucks. But is what it is.
December 19th, 2022 at 4:55 PM ^
Seriously, he would rather go to one of those programs - oh I forgot that Purdue was in the B!G championship game (at least for some of the game) - vs. Michigan. LMFAO / ROTFL
December 19th, 2022 at 5:01 PM ^
Assume Purdue made the cut since Illinois was in contention and the DC (Ryan Walters) left and became the head coach for the Boilermakers.
But you what they say about assumptions, they’re like assholes and everyone has one 🤷🏻♂️
December 19th, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
Thought that was opinions, not assumptions, but that might just be my opinion
December 19th, 2022 at 5:47 PM ^
You're correct, Ditch. Assume = makes an ASS of U and ME...
Edit: D'OH!!! One post below mine and it's already covered! I should have kept reading...
December 19th, 2022 at 9:24 PM ^
Thought it was excuses, but maybe I didn’t get the right memo.
December 19th, 2022 at 5:16 PM ^
lol, you sound like Biff from back to the future. It's either:
opinions are like assholes, we all have them and they all stink.
OR
when you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
December 19th, 2022 at 5:34 PM ^
Yeah, he's about as useful as a screen door on a battleship!
December 19th, 2022 at 5:54 PM ^
Screen door on a submarine, dork.
December 19th, 2022 at 6:34 PM ^
Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?
December 19th, 2022 at 6:57 PM ^
Make like a baby and head out.
December 19th, 2022 at 7:10 PM ^
put an egg in your shoe and leave
put our foot down in the sand on this one
December 19th, 2022 at 6:18 PM ^
Well we can burn that bridge when we come to it. It sounds like weve buttered our bread and we now have to sleep on it.
December 19th, 2022 at 7:24 PM ^
When you make an ASSUMPSHUN, you’re an ASS and the UMP will SHUN you
December 19th, 2022 at 5:21 PM ^
It's opinions. Not assumptions. If gonna be snarky at least be accurate.
December 19th, 2022 at 5:42 PM ^
Gotta love a botched, hackneyed expression. If we lose Hill after all this momentum, at least we got a good laugh out of it.
I'm gonna jot that one down.
December 19th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
Let’s go live for my reaction after I realize I’m an idiot
December 19th, 2022 at 8:25 PM ^
Does the pope shit in the woods?
December 19th, 2022 at 8:40 PM ^
I don't know. Isn't his ass watertight? Or is that the bear? Shit, now I'm all confused.
December 20th, 2022 at 6:06 AM ^
I don't believe the pope shits in the woods, but does he have wooden balls?
December 19th, 2022 at 10:24 PM ^
Sam Webb has mentioned multiple times while talking about this kid that sometimes the lights are too bright at a place like Michigan and a kid just isn't comfortable playing in front of 107,601 people and all that goes with it. He's said it often enough to suggest to me that's part of the hangup.
December 19th, 2022 at 10:26 PM ^
And that graphic is ROUGH. Someone help this poor kid out!
December 20th, 2022 at 5:24 AM ^
Yet he put in a crystal ball will a confidence of 7. Sam is good but he is always hedging his bets when speaks on certain recruits.
December 19th, 2022 at 4:55 PM ^
Who knows at this rate. 247 shows he hasn't even visited purdue or mizzou.
December 19th, 2022 at 5:09 PM ^
One of the main reasons he liked Illinois is Ryan Walters, now the HC at Purdue.
December 19th, 2022 at 7:46 PM ^
Sam said on the 247 board that this was a head fake and that all the sources he's hearing from around Hill are still saying it's Michigan.
December 19th, 2022 at 4:56 PM ^
Can we not grab Cypress and Hill and call them Cypress Hill?
December 19th, 2022 at 4:58 PM ^
He’s coming to UM. I think this is a troll job.
December 19th, 2022 at 5:12 PM ^
Classic December Fools prank
