Tyus Battle Decommits
Get your welp on:
Tyus Battle is taking an official visit to Syracuse this weekend & opening up his recruitment, per sources. Committed to Michigan in May.
— Evan Daniels (@EvanDaniels) June 19, 2015
There had been rumbles the last couple days to the effect that Battle would take a visit to Syracuse, who had been one of his presumed leaders along with Duke before his commitment to Michigan.
It's unclear at this point how open his recruitment is, but in general schools that suffer a decommit do not get the kid back. How Syracuse remains appealing after Jim Boeheim got blasted by the NCAA remains a bit of a mystery.
Michigan was very strong with AL SF Josh Langford before Battle committed on his official visit and will probably look to re-open serious contact with him immediately.
ummmmmm, wow
Can we start choosing another word? "Commit" is laughable with kids these days. Wake me up on signing day.

Give them a break, they're kids. And the commitment is just about the only power they have in the relationship between them and the NCAA schools. Once they sign, the power shifts entirely to the NCAA and the school.
That said, this sucks. I thought Battle was a done deal after everything he said in May. Must have someone in his camp who's actively trying to get him to switch.
given the fact they tried to stop him from committing in the first place
Then don't commit!!!!

Exactly. He's been "committed" for a month. Clearly wasn't ready to commit when he did
guys leave by being so demanding. /s

It looks like he really wants to attend the University of Michigan, but is being bullied by the so-called "adults" in his life to go elsewhere.
A man's word should mean something, but people can rationalize anything nowadays.
This is what I woke up to. Today is gonna be horrible

....?
basketball "recruiting" is just slimy and disgusting
So is the pious attitude people here use as a defense mechanism when basketball recruiting goes poorly.
Haven't watched Sole Man yet, eh?
I remember my first beer.
Learn how the sausage is made, bud.
So they don't sound like whiney bitches about victimless crimes? They don't seem incredibly presumptuous every time something bad happens to Michigan recruiting when they have no idea what the real story is?
Anyone whose knee jerk reaction to bad news is "cheaters!" needs to grow up.
I think it's pretty easy to assume what the real story is.
It's basketball recruiting. It's not a tickling contest.
I just want to be tickled...
Anytime Michigan loses a recruit, the only explanation is that whichever coach flipped him did it by backing a Brink's Truck up his driveway.
In most cases, I agree, but look at this one in particular. It's not like he decommitted to take a visit to Stanford. Syracuse has made lots of news recently and not for oncourt heroics. In this case, calling things fishy is probably warranted.
I'm pretty sure that the sentiment about college hoops recruiting is that is well known not to be above board. Try pulling anything out of Chicago with 5 stars next to their name if your last name doesn't start with a "K"
There's a big difference between a sweeping general truth and flagrantly assuming foul play for every piece of displeasing information.
Devin Gil just committed...
Fuck
I wonder what Caused him to keep lines open with other coaches? I honesty don't think JB did anything "wrong". Hopefully we find a way to recover. Going to be difficult this is was good.
His dad probably kept them open. It was reported that his dad favored Syracuse before the Michigan commitment.
Sam Webb is not as connected as people think.
Recruiting junkies, luke anything else people think way too much about, need a guru. Those in Sam's business are well aware of this.
Not just recruiting, he didn't start coming around on the Harbaugh to Michigan until it was basically assumed that it was happening. There was even a point where he was hyping up the Les Miles train.
Sam was kissing Hoke's Butt into November just in case a miracle retention occurred. I don't think he's a bad guy or anything. He's making a living. But yeah, his motives are quite dubious.
He may be the "most connected" out of people who make a living off recruiting but like ou said, he is not nearly as connected as people think.
Sam is fine in football....but his hoops connections aren't nearly as great
Looks like dad is getting his way.
in any verbal commitment....talk to me after National Signing Day.
His twitter still says Michigan commit
WHEW!!! Thank goodness someone is connected enough to find the TRUTH!!!
Do I need to /s?
Syracuse mascot Final 4 gif payback?
Going to get some of those Syracuse ethics for himself.

Michigan might have been leading for Josh Langford before Battle's commitment. If we can get back in with him then it's a wash in my book.

Why can't we have nice things?
Evan Daniels had the huge mistake / typo in his tweet yesterday about Josh Langford visiting Michigan when it was really MSU. He corrected it immediately, but still, how trustworthy is this guy?
