Domani Jackson: it's hard to decide, going to be a signing day decision
November 30th, 2021 at 6:18 AM ^
Punchers chance
November 30th, 2021 at 8:11 AM ^
To have an underwhelming response like that after a game like The Game, it is highly doubtful that he comes to Michigan. Hopefully it sinks in more and the excitement builds as we beat Iowa and beyond.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:16 AM ^
It’s not really all that underwhelming. Most of the national people, and hell most of US, didn’t think we would pull it off.
Then Domani follows it up with “it’s hard to say no’ to playing with Will Johnson "Every day I hear from him. He just always says, 'come home.' And it's hard to say no... It's gonna be a (signing day) decision.”
November 30th, 2021 at 8:36 AM ^
And yet he committed and stayed committed to USC even after they fired their coach. While he eventually did de-commit, I wouldn't be surprised to see him either recommit to USC now that LR is there or go to a known powerhouse and supposed favorite Alabama. Maybe Michigan winning it all will be enough to seal the deal for him, but short of that, I don't think Michigan will get his services. I'll wait for him to prove me wrong as I was with the game on Saturday.

I hope I am dead wrong, but this feels like Najee Harris 2.0.
November 30th, 2021 at 10:00 AM ^
Based on what?
Did Najee grow up a UM fan? Have a best friend going to UM? Have a dad who is a UM fan?
Or is it basically because its a battle w Bama?
November 30th, 2021 at 10:34 AM ^
He is another highly ranked Cali recruit whose family, and him, were high on Michigan and yes down to us and Bama.
November 30th, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
"Hard to say 'no'" makes me think he wants to say no, but doesn't want to disappoint him
November 30th, 2021 at 8:43 AM ^
Let's find someone who wants to be here. We should have more options now.
November 30th, 2021 at 10:00 AM ^
And Alabama gets blown out by Georgia, then by whoever they play in a bowl because of lack of interest. Meanwhile, we beat Georgia for the National Championship ?
November 30th, 2021 at 11:30 AM ^
Exactly my POV with UM on Saturday vs OSU - so I am now extremely optimistic about our “puncher’s chance” with Jackson.
Go Blue
November 30th, 2021 at 6:20 AM ^
Destroy Iowa!!!!
November 30th, 2021 at 6:32 AM ^
Those who come will be champions
November 30th, 2021 at 7:33 AM ^
From my experience those who come feel, actually, pretty remorseful and full of shame.
November 30th, 2021 at 7:46 AM ^
Ah, catholicism at its finest
November 30th, 2021 at 8:01 AM ^
Actually as long as your sorry the and repent the shame would be removed…that’s my understanding. But don’t let me get in the way of your the point you feel like you need to make.
November 30th, 2021 at 9:16 AM ^
Here, I can offer you some used chewing gum, maybe that will help.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:31 AM ^
Don't forget that the more it happens, the less special it becomes
November 30th, 2021 at 9:26 AM ^

Stop pleasuring yourself then.
November 30th, 2021 at 6:32 AM ^
Those who come will be champions
November 30th, 2021 at 6:35 AM ^
That's what she said
November 30th, 2021 at 8:05 AM ^
Have her talk to my wife.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:53 AM ^
I’m house champion for 20+ years. Runner-up is for suckers.
November 30th, 2021 at 6:34 AM ^
He'll either be playing for us, or losing to us. His choice.
November 30th, 2021 at 6:40 AM ^
Et tu?
November 30th, 2021 at 6:43 AM ^
Not that I loved him less, but that I loved Michigan more.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:27 AM ^
EYB, on Fuego this morning. Somebody check his coffee!
November 30th, 2021 at 11:02 AM ^
As if this week couldn't get any better, Santa delivered my present yesterday, even though I wasn't supposed to see it. And it's a table saw. So now I have to pretend like I have no idea for 5 weeks. ?
November 30th, 2021 at 11:39 AM ^
I had to do the same thing with Snake Mountain when I was a kid. My acting skills were on fire that morning. I even waited till the end to open it, haha.
November 30th, 2021 at 6:42 AM ^
Does anyone know who that is in the middle? I was thinking Zeke Berry.
November 30th, 2021 at 7:01 AM ^
Zooming in on his name tag, I see "jordan johnson" but I can't find any recruiting profiles in 2022 or 2023 for that name....only a Notre dame WR recruit who transferred to UCF this year.
November 30th, 2021 at 7:07 AM ^
TTB doesn't have a "Jordan Johnson" on the visitors list. Could it simply be a brother/family member of Will Johnson?
November 30th, 2021 at 7:26 AM ^
After some Twitter stalking I can confirm his name tag says "Jordan Johnson, guest of Will Johnson". Will had other family members there as well with credentials.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:01 AM ^
Sign him up!
November 30th, 2021 at 7:05 AM ^
Georgia blows out bama.
Meeesh Destroys Iowa.
Let the good times roll kid
November 30th, 2021 at 7:21 AM ^
Yeah I don’t think that sounds like the young man is very eager to be here.
November 30th, 2021 at 7:37 AM ^
Agree. Gotta want to be here or it won’t take much adversity to make you run back home.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:05 AM ^
Saw the same thing with Charbonnet. If it’s like pulling teeth for a commit the player has one foot out the door already. If I was staff I wouldn’t be putting resources towards this anymore and focus on the other DBs which are quite good right now.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:21 AM ^
Or the kid is simply torn between three programs he really likes… newsflash: you have to fight to the end for top end talent. You don’t give up on a recruit because he isn’t committing on your timeline. He has until February to decide where he wants to go, and it’s “pulling teeth” when a 5* hasn’t decided where he wants to go by the end of November?
November 30th, 2021 at 8:36 AM ^
It’s not about a recruit committing on our timeline. It’s about a kid sounding like he doesn’t want to play here or still isn’t confident that he will be able accomplish his goals here. I can’t say I blame him. Even if Michigan wins out this year, I would still put Alabama down as the place that is more of a sure thing for him to be a 1st round pick and a national champion within the next 5 years.
I can’t remember a recruit paying his own way to come to a game with his entire family then saying he didn’t think the team he visited had any shot to win. Was he visiting OSU like Maurice Clarrett did when he visit Michigan for the OSU game? I could be reading this wrong but it sounds like he is almost pissed Michigan won because it would have been an easier announcement if the lost.
November 30th, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
You’re just so far off base here, I truly have no idea where to begin… I guess I’ll start by saying he didn’t say any of the things you just claimed. Not sounding as though you’re going to commit on the spot following a visit is not reason to stop recruiting a guy.
December 1st, 2021 at 9:51 AM ^
When did I say you should stop recruiting him?
November 30th, 2021 at 8:28 AM ^
You saw the same thing with a lot of guys...it doesn't mean they're not sold.
Just on this team, from last year.
Donovan Edwards went down to the wire, Rayshaun Benny, George Rooks.
Dax Hill was like this, DPJ took it to the early signing day.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:53 AM ^
If Zach saw playing time in his future in front of Haskins and Corum, and no recruitment of Edwards, he'd be Michigan's leading rusher. You can't crap on him for 'not wanting to be here' when he wanted a chance to play. He's UCLA's leading rusher and had early talk of Heisman results!
I don't blame him for leaving, at all...
November 30th, 2021 at 9:12 AM ^
Nobody is blaming anyone just citing the factual case of a west coast player transferring back home. What part of what was said. Was negative specifically?
sensitive people will find anything to be outraged about yeeesh.
November 30th, 2021 at 6:17 PM ^
Why are you evading the point every time someone points out flaws in your logic?
You're being intellectually dishonest, and it's hard to converse that way. He pointed out precisely WHY Charbonnet left, which you clearly ignored because then you can't make the "argument" you're making here. Come on man, you're wasting time for no purpose. Be better than that.
It's okay to be wrong. It's not okay to dig in and argue dishonestly, so as to appear correct (to those not paying attention to words).
November 30th, 2021 at 8:01 AM ^
No way people are making this decision the day of an announcement! Feels a lot more like he doesn't want to disappoint anyone. If it is truly a day of decision, I hope he picks somewhere else. A program isn't going to achieve anything by merely showing up, OSU proved this on Saturday. Go Blue!!
November 30th, 2021 at 8:06 AM ^
As much as I want UM to get highly rated guys, I have to admit that you are absolutely right. Need players that have, or will have that mindset.
November 30th, 2021 at 8:27 AM ^
Get an Ohio corner...eg like a Rod Moore is a fine player and saved a TD....knows the importance of the Game... I'd rather have an Ohio guy with a lesser rating.
