Arnett Using Commitment Eve to Commit to...All of Them?
Ed-M: Six! Six fake commits ah ah ah. Sorry for hijacking this thread, but it's too entertaining not to have it all in one place.
For those just joining us, 4-star WR DeAnthony Arnett has a press conference tomorrow night to announce his school choice. In the meantime, he is having a bit of fun at the expense of fans who follow this stuff way too closely.
Look in the mirror, then look here.
Wherever DeAnthony commits, I give him credit -- this is one of the best roasts of the recruiting nutters that I've ever seen....
He's picking USC:
Wait, no, it's Michigan:
Just kiddin, M. It's Central Michigan:
Aw Hell, It's Tennessee:
]
And...it's Slippery Rock...wait no the 'University of Michigan State':
No no no it's "The University of Cal" (last one):
And then the respective online fanbases get the screen turned around on them.
Thank you DeAnthony and brotherguy for a hilarious night. [/takeover]

Not sure if this is him being serious, or him messing around with everyones head again. Take it for what it's worth.

I was the only one?
November 10th, 2010 at 6:39 AM ^
So what? I was curious.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
He will not be picking USC.
Although he is supposed to inform coaches tonight...
November 9th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
Hmmm, everything about that seems like a show.
--The blue and yellow hat though was the true story of the video. It was a foreshadowing of where he's going!
November 9th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
Plus he had a ton of UofM stuff, more so than the other schools.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:54 PM ^
was like Big House secondary vendor sort of stuff which leads me to believe he would have owned it himself in the first place...cue tinfoil hat.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
FWIW, Dee clearly follows TVH, judging by his Twitter page.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
Tom?
We should build something like Gotham City had when they needed Batman to call for Tom. Shine it in the sky with his initiials when shit like this happens.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:28 PM ^
Like this?
(not mine by the way, bronxblue made it I believe)
November 9th, 2010 at 7:48 PM ^
He said that Lane Kiffin was the greatest coach of all time. No one in their right mind can say that.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:49 PM ^
The guy behind the cam is not being serious i doubt this is legit
November 9th, 2010 at 7:49 PM ^
Even if he choses his school tomorrow, I don't know if I can take him serious.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:50 PM ^
If he comes here that is great, but that is kind of a fucked up thing to do to a guy who invited you and your family out to California. Even though I don't really care for Kiffin it is still pretty desrspectful, IME. I know my parents wouldn't let me do something like this when I was in high school. Just one mans opinion.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:51 PM ^
Soooo he's not going to USC...
November 9th, 2010 at 8:54 PM ^
they got the bitches tho yo!
November 9th, 2010 at 7:51 PM ^
Definitely bullshitting, looks like a set up for UT. Lane Kiffin and women stuff is way over the top.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:52 PM ^
I think most people will be happy if RR pulls Watkins out of his ass on signing day.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:55 PM ^
That would just gross me out.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:12 PM ^
Don't think Watkins could fit inside RR's ass. Maybe inside the ass of that mound in your avatar pic.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:52 PM ^
I think that this video means he is going to TN.
If the video said he was going to UM, I would think that he was going to MSU.
Definitely a prank.

Just wait about five-ten minutes.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:57 PM ^
He speaks!
November 9th, 2010 at 7:58 PM ^
Tom to the rescue! Good use of bat signals team.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:06 PM ^
You're clearly in on this.
He's Ann Arbor-bound, isn't he?!
November 9th, 2010 at 8:22 PM ^
Hooray for Tom!
November 9th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
Note to blog marketing: good way to get refresh traffic? Have TomVH post anything that asks me to wait five-ten minutes.
I think I hit refresh three dozen times in the first two minutes.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:55 PM ^
I don't care if it's disrespectful, it's about time Lane Kiffin gets some shit, that guy is the ultra-tool.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:56 PM ^
I for one, appreciate the levity Deanthony brings to the recruiting process. Some people get so wrapped up in every little bit of news, they forget these are just kids, and their interests, considerations and evaluations aren't the same as yours.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:57 PM ^
Dude loves the attention and is working it to the max. It looks like he may be tired of all the talking-heads saying they have "advanced" info where he's leaning/going so he put out his own piece of misdirection to mess with all of us.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:58 PM ^
November 9th, 2010 at 7:59 PM ^
He'll make the choice that's right for him. UT is beautiful down there, but i'm not sure their coaching staff is there for the long haul. But Arnett would be a good recruiting get for them. Good luck to him no matter where he goes, always like to see the State of Michigan kids do well...except for maybe rojo.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:59 PM ^
November 9th, 2010 at 8:00 PM ^
Any serious "decision" can't start with the phrase "I'm taking my talents to..."
November 9th, 2010 at 8:00 PM ^
on the kid, but who ever it is he's yanking our chains. The coaches already know tonight and the rest of us the fans will know Wed night at about 7 pm.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:00 PM ^
I, for one, am hoping DeAnthony Arnett "takes his talents" to a school other than the University of Michigan. I'd gladly take 100 humble Roy Roundtrees over attention-seekers like Arnett.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:03 PM ^
Eh, he's having some fun. You only get to do this thing once, might as well play off the people that hang on his every word.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:04 PM ^
You know who else is just having fun? Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^
And they are pretty damn good at the position of WR.
Besides, TO has been on his best behavior this season.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:15 PM ^
And they are pretty damn good at the position of WR
Right. So are lots of people. That doesn't mean I want them all playing for U of M. Like I said below, we're doing just fine without guys like that.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:31 PM ^
it's all about "insane rootability" as Brian calls it.
agreed, Magnus.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:21 PM ^
You don't know a damn thing about how easy it is to root for this kid. He may spend 20 hours a week volunteering at a soup kitchen or mentoring at risk kids and you wouldn't know that. He may be a fantastic kid who's just looking to have a little fun with the process, again, you have no idea.
November 10th, 2010 at 6:44 AM ^
It is getting cold outside.
November 9th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
He's a highschool kid having fun with the process. Unless you know him personally, I think it's not very smart to compare him to T.O. & Ochocinco based off of his Twitter page.
November 9th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
His brother DID just say "Dick Rod"
November 9th, 2010 at 10:52 PM ^
Oh. Well then yeah, F him.
November 9th, 2010 at 10:53 PM ^
sorry for the double post.
November 10th, 2010 at 12:07 AM ^
Then I don't want his brother playing for Michigan. The kid with the Fruity Pebbles, though, is welcome as far as I am concerned.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:16 PM ^
Is it fun to assume the worst of people?
