Xavier Worthy to Texas

As expected Xavier Worthy committed to Texas. No way was that on the level. The Harbaugh I thought we were getting would be on Twitter as we speak going after Sark but alas that’s not what we got.

I agree it would be nice if someone called it out but I absolutely know the headlines would be "embattled UM head coach whines about losing a player to Texas" and that ain't helping anyone.  Heck, last year he wouldn't lie about the Cincy transfer reason while Fickell absolutely did and it was Harbaugh who was vilified for (incorrectly, as it turned out) purportedly ignoring mental health issues.

Worthy isn't coming back regardless of what is tweeted, and I'd rather focus on that than a player lost.

“The Harbaugh I thought we were getting would be on Twitter as we speak going after Sark but alas that’s not what we got.”

 

Does the NCAA allow that?  I know there are limit on what the schools can say about recruits.

 

Also, don’t you think it would be more effective for Harbaugh to deal with Worthy rather than get in a juvenile twitter fight with a coach?

Michigan has no one to blame but itself. Maybe Sark broke the rules by talking to him after he signed, but Michigan woefully failed to have its house in order. Xavier explicitly stated he wanted to be here. He turned down Alabama to be here. ALABAMA. A program that routinely churns out first round wide receivers every single year. Guys who are All Americans and Heisman winners or finalists. He turned all of that down and a guaranteed national title ring or two to come here. That tells me all I need to know about what his commitment level to Michigan was. 

This is Michigan’s fault, and I don’t blame Sark for seizing the opportunity on our incompetence. College football is a business, and that business is kill or be killed

Im wishing more Michigan had a Spring Game, than parsing this news.

Arizona/Fisch/Brown had their Spring Game today. Don Brown is looking for a couple of big 300+ DLinemen and a couple of fast LBs in the portal. He also just offered Alex Van Summeren. Their Spri g Game sold out quickly.

I vehemently disagree with the third sentence of this post. Texas may have tampered, but a head coach railing about it on Twitter is ridiculous and would be a low. I prefer a coach who wouldn't whine about it on social media.

So he chose another prestigious academic university, not close to home, with an underachieving traditional powerhouse football program that has been under-utilizing elite WR talent for the past decade?

Way to strike out here UM recruiting. Had he gone to BAMA!, Clemson, or even a Big 12 air raid offense I would have understood.  He basically chose the same circumstances in another town.
