We should not be surprised that there are some recruiting changes with Harbaugh coming in.  Harbaugh is not Hoke.  Harbauigh is going to be interested in some different recruits, and some recruits that were interested in Hoke will not be comfortable with Harbaugh and his direction for their position.

Opens the door for a top 2016 qb to come to Michigan. I think it's a mistake as Harbaugh is the top QB mind in the country period but the competition will be stiff. Best of luck to Messiah.

that dude always seemed juiced to enroll at michigan and i doubt his enthusiasm wavered much given the programs current aura.  im guessing harbaugh gave the kid his honest opinion and his vision for qb position at michigan moving forward and they agreed to mutually part ways.  

color me shocked if the dude told harbaugh no thanks, he sees greener pastures elsewhere.   the kids not an elite qb and frankly he was lucky to receive an offer so early from hoke.  maybe he wouldve competed and started on hokes michigan teams but harbaughs teams will be a different animal.  best of luck to the kid though, seems like a solid cat

Some of you people need to stop looking at fricken rankings and form you own opinions.  LOOK AT THE FILM YOURSELF!

This is not a big loss my no means.  It does not take Tom Brady to look at his clips and wonder why he was offered in the first place.

Would think this means we are going after some of the bigger fish out there in the 2016 class as has been reported, best of luck to the kid, I was really looking forward to all the Messiah word play.

The OC that has been recruiting him to UGA is no longer there, right?  If he's so firm with UGA, why is he meeting with Harbaugh and others?  

He may very well end up at UGA, but it doesn't mean he's so solid right now.  

 

EDIT: re: Bobo, it's already been mentioned below.  My bad.

As solid as they come? Georgia just lost their OC and hired Brian Schottenheimer, who has helmed some of the worst offenses in the NFL. Even without that development, I don't think you can call any out-of-state, non-legacy verbal commitment during a junior year "as solid as they come."

And usually most of these recruiting stories are always slanted to the school site that is doing the interview. At this time last year, Ricky Town was committed to Alabama, Blake Barnett was committed to ND, Jarrett Stidham was committed to Texas Tech, and Brandon Wimbush was committed to Penn State. All were saying they were not wavering in their commitments. Look where they are now. Same with Kyler Murray who may flip from Texas A&M to Texas at the last minute. It's high school kids facing an extremely tough life choice: many of them will grow during a year or two and change their mind.
