Eason & Nauta may be forming a pretty sweet chemistry down there... that was a Helluva TD they connected on vs Tenn

I wouldn't say Nauta made a poor choice thus far - to the extent that ANYONE can be considered to have made a good choice when they choose another school over M

And as for M forgiving Soloman - for what? For going public with their mistake? I guess, but that is a pretty one-sided apology if one is indeed coming...

Keep this in mind for a May/June/July thread when we're bored and desperate.  It'd be interesting to discuss/argue about the criteria for "greatest" and then look at great lines in the past in comparison to Michigan's (and THIS year's line would be a great candidate for "greatest", but let's wait for summer to dig in).

Jordan Elliott was all over the map last year, with commitments to Houston, Baylor, Michigan, and then Texas, along with an alleged silent commitment to Texas previously. This situation doesn't hold a candle to Elliott's.

That's all true, but 100% committed is never 100%. It's just a phrase people use, like 110% effort. The truth is, Michigan screwed up in their recruitment of him, and it cost them a highly rated player. Elliott was just flat-out wishy-washy. I have yet to see that out of Solomon.

Way too much speculation from one picture, considering there's been no chatter to this point of him returning to the fold. My guess is that it's a cool morning (meaning anything below 75 in the South), and he grabbed the first jacket he could.

Well we would take him back in a heart beat if that's what he wants. He was my favorite recruit before decommiting. He's an elite talent.

am not a fan of recruits who throw us under the bus like he did, which made us look bad.  he commits, then momma says no, so he makes us look bad and publicizes implausible reasons why he decommitted. he didn't have to say that crap about the name misspelling and bbq note.

I feel like you are making a bunch of assumptions here.  Maybe he just changed his minds or had second thoughts.  He said he was still considering Michigan.  Yes, the reason was kind of lame but maybe it was handled correctly behind the scenes, we don't know.  Harbaugh is still recruiting him so...

Am not making any assumptions..... he didn't have to say what he said, period.  Nobody is saying he cannot change his mind, but to throw us under the bus for it, I'm not keen on.... Am looking forward to the day where fans here won't behave as if recruits like Solomon are gonna save the program.
