Michigan commit top 100 WR Xavier Worthy set to decide between Michigan and Alabama on December 16th
https://twitter.com/Xavierworthy2/status/1333870605653798912
He recently just visited Bama and his Twitter activity has been a bit ominous lately, so let's hope for the best because this would be a really bad loss
December 1st, 2020 at 3:44 PM ^
He gone and I can’t say I blame him
December 1st, 2020 at 4:11 PM ^
That is absolutely the right choice. If this were my son I'd tell him the same.
December 1st, 2020 at 4:43 PM ^
I hate to say it, but guys that did this choice before, like Da'Shawn Hand and Najee Harris, . . . made the right choice.
December 1st, 2020 at 4:49 PM ^
Dashawn hand I still think made a poor choice. Najee yes.
December 1st, 2020 at 5:09 PM ^
Da'Shawn Hand won a national championship. Had he come here he would've missed bowl games and never beaten his rival.
I think he'd tell you he made the right choice.
December 1st, 2020 at 5:22 PM ^
I'm not talking about that. More about having an opportunity to showcase his abilities and get drafted higher.
December 1st, 2020 at 5:46 PM ^
Maybe he makes the tackle on 4th and 1.
December 1st, 2020 at 7:24 PM ^
Yeah. Imagine the conversations.
Alabama: “Xavier, Let us show you the offensive skill players we have put into the NFL. RB’s and WR’s.”
Michigan: “Xavier, let us show you the offensive skill players we put into the league. You know what, on the other hand, let’s go take a look at our nifty looking winged helmets!”
December 2nd, 2020 at 3:04 AM ^
What, he wasn't able to show off his engineering prowess?
December 2nd, 2020 at 10:05 AM ^
I agree. He ended up getting drafted in the 4th round, which isn't bad, but I think I remember him more or less having to sit for a bit before he got steady playing time just because Bama was so stacked. Had he gone to Michigan I think he would have gotten more playing time early on. Whether that would have helped or hurt idk, but he could have been a stand out piece at Michigan opposed to just another top d-lineman at Bama. Was actually pretty glad when the Lions drafted him, just wish he could stay healthy.
December 2nd, 2020 at 10:16 AM ^
I have no idea what Alabama's roster situation is like, but I imagine at Michigan he'd have a better chance of seeing the field.
December 1st, 2020 at 7:08 PM ^
But you did say it.
December 2nd, 2020 at 6:50 AM ^
Don’t you semanticize me!
December 1st, 2020 at 3:45 PM ^
Umm.... UM commit to decide? Isn't committing deciding?
December 1st, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
So I guess he is committed, not fully committed!
/did I do that right?
December 1st, 2020 at 6:09 PM ^
ENGAGED MAN TO DECIDE BETWEEN TWO BRIDES ON WEDDING DAY
"Shouldn't have gotten engaged to the ugly one so fast"
December 1st, 2020 at 6:35 PM ^
Urban Meyer said that when a guy commits, that just means you're in his top three.
December 1st, 2020 at 9:18 PM ^
Shelly can confirm.
December 1st, 2020 at 10:01 PM ^
Potentially the greatest retort in blog history...
December 1st, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
This will be a tough loss but can't blame him. Until Michigan can put together a competent offense I would be reluctant as a recruit as well. And Bama has been churning out NFL receivers like nobodies business.
December 1st, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
Don’t blame if he picks Bama!
December 1st, 2020 at 3:51 PM ^
He’ll flip back after Sarkisian is announced as the next UM coach.
I’m good with this. Now Harbaugh and Brown can pick up another under the radar recruit from the NE with offers from UMass and Buffalo.
December 1st, 2020 at 6:31 PM ^
....and the Ivies.
December 1st, 2020 at 4:31 PM ^
Daxton:
Xavier, all I’m gonna tell you is, I should’ve stuck with Bama
December 1st, 2020 at 4:52 PM ^
I have this weird feeling Dax Hill transfers.
December 1st, 2020 at 5:06 PM ^
Wouldn't blame him at all. He hasn’t had a real coach this year, and the real coach who is working from home or whatever wasn’t even the coach who signed him.
December 1st, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
Don't kid yourself, it's Bama. I mean, If you had the choice of going to a perennial title contender or this raging dumpster fire, which would you choose?
December 1st, 2020 at 3:48 PM ^
Hmmm....
December 1st, 2020 at 4:00 PM ^
This is an absolute gem.
December 1st, 2020 at 7:32 PM ^
That's pretty much what the State game looked like this year.
December 1st, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
Yeah, when someone that has already verbally committed sets a date for his commitment, that's usually not a good sign.
December 1st, 2020 at 3:52 PM ^
Disagree. He could totally commit to UM...... again, especially after seeing how functional this team has been this year.
December 1st, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
Especially when Alabama has 3 WR recruits committed from his class already, ranked higher than he is.
December 1st, 2020 at 7:28 PM ^
To be fair, the #4 WR for Alabama is going to get just about the same amount of targets as the #1 WR for Michigan.
December 1st, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
Ha this is funny. A “committed” recruit deciding means he’s goin to Bama. He thinks he’s slick.good one bud. Enjoy your time in Bama. He coulda been a legend here but such is life as a Michigan fan
December 1st, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
A legend? Just like Collins, Black, DPJ and all those other 4/5* wr that dominated under Harbaugh’s reign.
UM needs to make a decision quick on Harbaugh’s future or there will be plenty of decommits.
December 1st, 2020 at 4:51 PM ^
Absolutely. This man get it, this is just the beginning if A) Harbaugh is extended or B) No decision about his future is announced within the next 2 weeks.
December 1st, 2020 at 7:07 PM ^
Tarik black is like 4th on the depth chart at Texas maybe he was more hype than substance.
December 1st, 2020 at 8:35 PM ^
Black's hype skyrocketed after he caught a wide open busted coverage by a shitty fucking florida team that won 4 games that year?
People shit their pants because he caught a wide open pass, then broke his ankle a week later.
December 2nd, 2020 at 8:48 AM ^
Or maybe after 3 years of not being developed at Michigan, it's yet another highly rated kid that the coaching staff up there squandered their talent. Maybe he is playing like a freshman because he spent 3 years not getting better at UM?
December 1st, 2020 at 4:01 PM ^
No he would’ve been wasted here like every other skill player on offense. Unless there’s a coaching change of course.
December 1st, 2020 at 4:34 PM ^
There haven’t been any WR “legends” at Michigan in years. Meanwhile, Alabama has WR legends every year taken in the first round of the NFL draft. Reality checkmate!
December 1st, 2020 at 11:16 PM ^
I can't think of one thing I'd say to attempt to change his mind.
December 1st, 2020 at 3:49 PM ^
So he’s announcing his commitment on the 16th after already being committed to Michigan? What’s he announcing?
And I don’t understand why this kid wouldn’t want to run five yard routes all game. Michigan seems like a no-brainer.
December 1st, 2020 at 7:26 PM ^
5 yard routes on 3rd and 7
December 1st, 2020 at 3:49 PM ^
4 days after the OSU game. I’m sure that’ll help him decide.
December 1st, 2020 at 3:49 PM ^
My wife is set to announce her decision between me and her SoulCycle instructor that day, fingers crossed!
December 1st, 2020 at 4:00 PM ^
Best of luck to you my friend...do you have a plan B?
Worthy is gone. My sources say Jalen Mayfields mom was his lead recruiter.
December 1st, 2020 at 6:24 PM ^
There’s a Plan B joke to be made here and I just can’t bring myself to do it
December 1st, 2020 at 4:36 PM ^
Which choice are you hoping for?
