Jalil Irvin Decommits Comment Count

I'm sure everyone will handle this news calmly and rationally.

2018 GA OG Jalil Irvin is now Michigan's third decommit in the last two days, joining 2017 DT Aubrey Solomon and 2018 TE/DL Leonard Taylor.

Let's try to take a step back on this. Solomon is a big loss, without question; his initial commitment was a huge surprise and it was always going to be a tough battle to keep the nearby SEC powers, especially Georgia, at bay. I don't think anyone expected Taylor's commitment to stick pretty much from the moment he made it. Irvin is another Georgia prospect who committed very early in the cycle and is seeing his rankings rise.

None of these are all that surprising when taken individually. Having all three occur over the course of two days makes for bad feels and bad headlines, but Michigan will be just fine for both the 2017 and 2018 classes.

is nothing to get worked up about. They are just starting their Junior year in high school and if you've been around kids that age, they really have no clue as to what they want to do with their lives and they shouldn't. They have a lot of time to figure it out.

The Solomon story isn't a huge surprise either, but this card being sent to him with name misspelled is a little concerning. Someone is not paying attention and that needs to get fixed.

As a black man I am still mad at the long forced segregation of SEC football.  Do these recruits even know their history?

Win on the field and it doesn't matter, there won't be room for these guys anymore anyway. Good luck to them. It actually give me hope that Kirby Smart is locking down the state and will hopefully give Saban a run for his money.
