Update(?) on Tyus Battle: Reading Tea Leaves on Twitter (Not Great)
Some people were noting that Tyus Battle still had his Michigan edit on his Twitter account, and therefore we might still be in it.
It appears he no longer has that edit:

I don't know if this means anything, but I figured it was worth a Board post.
He gone! However, we will be just fine with Cumberland.
Cumberland does not move the program forward. He's far from a difference maker we so desperately need after this year.
Cheeks.
in his pics.
Didn't see any other schools there at this point.
Isn't that just because he didn't go through all of his old posts/pictures and delete it?
Most people don't...I wouldn't look into that at all.
He gone people.
MGrowOld is right, little to no chance he comes back, so assume that he is LONG GONE! If this is the 0.3%, then consider it a bonus, if and when it happens.
You interested?
Big baller.
Dawson never decommitted, his offer was briefly recinded by the staff cause he had the audacity to visit another school (a practice that has been going on with committed players for ages) and once the staff figured out just how arrogant that policy was (which made me think it might have come from David BRANDon) they quicky reoffered him.
Don't remember the Will Campbell case.
Is it just me, or does that math not quite add up... is there a .67% that do something else?
Yeah, .67% of them attend Michigan on an art scholarship, so they're not really "gone" but they're not playing football for UM either.
Thanks math whiz!

Maybe Sam Webb.
didn't James Blackman decommit from Creaniana and then go back? Man, I was also sad to see Devin Booker drafted so high after we nearly had him...sigh...
Agree with growing older but as someone who is already over the hill, I still like to be optimistic. So let's hope he might be that .3%. (Little more than your .03%) but still not out of it. If not, I trust coach to come up with plan B. Or C maybe D or even E!
...about how this came about. It appears JB and staff did some serious fuck ups that lead to this. And apparently it was some similar shit that lead to the whole jaylen brown fiasco. Still trying to get details, but wanted to put it out there to see if anyone else has heard anything similar with details.

Major fuck up-I agree.

without knowing any details, you deserve any negative feedback that you get.
You could have just asked if anyone knew any of the details, without implying that JB had done anything wrong.
How does you posting that you might have some info that JB did something wrong lead to additional details? Unless you only communicate with your sources on the board, which would be asinine.
If true, you should press your friends "inside the AD" harder on specifics. Otherwise, you should stop posting rumors.
I am curious:
Did you get the sense that there was finger-pointing within the AD about missing marquee recruits? Or did they seem to stand behind the recruiting process (presumably as it was established by Beilein), while expressing regret that it led to highly recruited players bailing at the last minute? In other words, do you think these near-misses and decommits signal bigger issues within the AD?
I don't mind missing a big recruit or two (they are gone in a year anyhow), but after the turmoil of football, I am pretty attached to the relative stability of our BBall program, even if it is not at the very apex of the college game.
Who exactly? Why should we believe you?

JB, please get an elite PG. I couldn'T care less about any other recruits for 2016.
