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.

not to be a downer and I'll probly get negged for this but I kind of agree with him. After the last 3 years, I try not to talk smack about sparty.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
Just like Gordon laid the wood on Ed Baker right?

michigan laniard attached to his actual keys
November 9th, 2010 at 11:09 PM ^
... with the general sentiment that these videos went from funny to classless pretty quick, let's all remember that we're dealing with an extremely talented individual who has been treated over the last couple years like he can walk on water. If I was 17 that would go to my head very fast.
The goal of an education and of college is to build character, maturity, discipline, and hopefully, a level of humility. Wherever he goes, I hope he picks a program that has people who can help him learn these things. Because you don't have to act like a jerk to be successful, and your success as a human being is magnified with a certain level of humility.

My source still says M, but I hope he's wrong. I'm all for having fun with recruiting, but there's no need to take shots at programs. coaches, and players. Go to State DA- you'll fit right in and be an easy one to dislike.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:18 PM ^
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

November 9th, 2010 at 11:23 PM ^
Meh, not worth getting uptight about this. If he comes to Michigan, welcome DeAnthony. If he goes to MSU, we kick his ass all over the field. It's a win-win.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:25 PM ^
Perhaps I'm wrong, but how well can this possibly sit with D'Antonio?
November 9th, 2010 at 11:35 PM ^
It's cool. Dantonio is all about 2nd, 3rd..........4th chances.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:28 PM ^
I have no idea what just happened here, but with 260+ posts, you better believe I'll get to the...ah screw it.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:30 PM ^
But wish you the best DA. It was funny watching the videos. Anywhere but sparty would be nice. I guess I really like the Watkins/Crawford duo with Dreads...
although FitzTou10 has a source. Book it.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:32 PM ^
November 9th, 2010 at 11:33 PM ^
Taking bets......
November 9th, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
University of Michigan State
Currently looking good for Cal......
November 10th, 2010 at 1:09 AM ^
No, he did one for Cal as well, in the final installment.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
The MSU "commit" video felt legit. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:44 PM ^
So did the UM one. The only one I felt was a big joke with him was USC and Central Michigan. Didnt watch UT tho.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:47 PM ^
The Michigan one was most certainly tongue in cheek
November 9th, 2010 at 11:48 PM ^
Yeah, it did look like the most legit... ughh, please no
November 10th, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
It did look pretty legit, and I didn't watch all of them but I didn't hear any sparty "disses" by him or his brother.
However, anyone else find it a little surprising that he would reveal this the night before his announcement? Still seems like it could be a diversion.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:45 PM ^
I think some people care way too much about him. We will find out tommorrow night at 7pm.
To Be Continued.......................
November 9th, 2010 at 11:52 PM ^
DEANTHONY WILL BE A HILLSDALE HORNET BY 8 TOMORROW BOOK IT!!!
November 10th, 2010 at 11:20 AM ^
The Hornets are the high school team. I'm pretty sure his high school eligibility is used up. I guess he'll be a Hillsdale Charger instead. They did have a player drafted this year.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:57 PM ^
I hope he goes to MSU, where I'm sure they'd never let anything like this happen.
Well, maybe once, but definitely not again. Zero tolerance for second chances.
Well, maybe twice, but I'm sure he'd be out after that.
Well, maybe by "out" I meant out on the field starting. Whatever.
November 10th, 2010 at 1:41 PM ^
I'm 100% positive you were 18 at one time. Are you that high and mighty now that you can't see the humor in all of this. This board goes crazy during any recruiting update or news regarding good info for michigan, including myself. He is flipping the process on its head and having fun. Man, he didn't beat anyone up, he didn't steal a laptop, he didn't get drunk, drive and hit a car. He very well could not fit in at MSU and is realizing this when he picks either Tenn or UofM.
November 10th, 2010 at 12:05 AM ^
this has the stink of MSU all over it!
November 10th, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
November 10th, 2010 at 12:24 AM ^
Who knows where he'll wind up. He could've made fun of USC just so you think he won't go there. I like that this kid is having fun with it all though.
November 10th, 2010 at 12:25 AM ^
The only teams he didn't talk shit about (or at least a slight jab) were what, MSU and Cal?
November 10th, 2010 at 12:27 AM ^
He repeatedly called MSU the University of Michigan State. Which could be taken as a jab at them.
November 10th, 2010 at 12:31 AM ^
See: Terrelle Pryor
November 10th, 2010 at 12:35 AM ^
I can't find it though.
That said; give me Sammy fuckin' Watkins, please!
November 10th, 2010 at 12:27 AM ^
Seriously, GBW? Pulling up the freep article at the end was a nice touch.
November 10th, 2010 at 12:42 AM ^
Cecil Newton needs repairs on another church so Arnett said, "I got your back".
November 10th, 2010 at 1:11 AM ^
Last post ends by scrolling through a number of recruiting websites from the various schools, plus a Freep article re Arnett having fun with Twitter. Pretty clearly a satire, and not too badly executed IMO.
November 10th, 2010 at 1:45 AM ^
November 10th, 2010 at 1:46 AM ^
on a Tuesday. We've pretty much dissected the game last week and the upcoming game. I nice little diversion. Thanks DA and mystery announcer.
November 10th, 2010 at 2:24 AM ^
I'm not judging him since I agree that too many people take this way too seriously, but at this point I don't really care if he comes to Michigan or not.
November 10th, 2010 at 6:08 AM ^
he should pick Michigan.
November 10th, 2010 at 6:52 AM ^
I'll take Sammy over this kid any day. He's only 165 lbs., he's gonna have to red-shirt , bring me Sammy.
November 10th, 2010 at 7:03 AM ^
or is he considering us more now only because we've won a game against Illinois? Is he really interested in being part of a team, or solely in how many balls he gets thrown his way every game?
Getting guys like Zettel and Walls and Drew are far, far more central to the ultimate success of RR here than guys like Arnett.
November 10th, 2010 at 7:32 AM ^
Don, I agree with that totally. We have far more needs than this kid.
November 10th, 2010 at 7:19 AM ^
I think I would rather have Watkins, more college ready. Arnett looks like he has never seen the inside of a weight room
November 10th, 2010 at 7:42 AM ^
Isn't it obvious? He's going to Harvard.
November 10th, 2010 at 9:24 AM ^
but, "team" doesn't jump right out at me when I read or see anything about him.
Michigan has very good depth at WR. Keep the scholarship and go get a hungry kid like Desmond Morgan.
November 10th, 2010 at 9:56 AM ^
but he's super-talented and you don't say no if he wants to come here. Also, wasn't Roundtree about his size when he came in? That turned out terrible after a RS year.
BTW, thought the videos last night were hilarious. Great piece of satire to roast the lunatic fringe in CFB that follows recruiting.
November 10th, 2010 at 10:18 AM ^
but IMO...this is not how young men should handle their business.
1. Handle your business on and off the field
2. Find a school you want to go to for both academic and athletic reasons
3. Commit without all this pomp and circumstance
4. Be a man and stick by your commitment.
That does not seem that hard...what say you all?
