Just tweeted he hates being lied to. I think he's talking about the person who told him Garnett is coming to Michigan, I don't think he's talking about Garnett, but you never know.

Me either.  I just don't believe he was undecided last night.  He was a favoring Stanford, but continued to float all the pro UM tweets.  He just wanted the attention.  Sounds like a decent kid overall, but yes, I agree with Ondre that he's got some B.S. in him.

Then Pipkins tweeted, "can't trust people, but I wouldn't want it around me or Michigan"  To me that sounds like he's talking about Garnett

 

I"m actually pretty shocked at this.  I thought he was going blue for sure.

Well the chances of us playing Stanford in the next four years are actually pretty good, so I'm sure we will see him.  And he will lose.

For once, I can't say that a kid isn't as serious about academics as he claims because he didn't pick us. He chose the one place that has us beat in that department. Best of luck to him. We still have a killer O-line class, and we'll probably land Diamond.

Losing him to ohio would hurt much more.....we already have a good group of off. lineman but getting Diamond-Kozan or Muller from Rutgers would be nice....I long for the days when I didn't follow recruiting and just read the list of stud recruits Bo hauled in on signing day....an 18 year old kid from Washington just ruined my day lol

and play his football in front of 50,360 fans in Stanford stadium. That's a capacity crowd there. The last time Michigan had a home game with fewer people than that?

1969  Sept. 27   Washington (Bo's second game as HC)   49,684 fans.

You have to go back to 1963 for another Michigan home game with a crowd that small.

I wonder if Jim Harbaugh encouraged him to choose Stanford. After all, that was Harbaugh's number one choice—not Michigan:

"I used to stare down at that field as I was stenciling those numbers," Harbaugh told reporters, athletes and others who crowded into the Arrillaga Family Sports Center's Kissick Auditorium. "I so very badly wanted to go to Stanford and play for the Cardinal. … This was my number-one choice all along."

Oh lord no I'd never wish injury upon someone else.....  I said nothing of the sort in my post.  How you come to that conclusion is beyond me.  What I do wish is for people to stop the, "Oh well,  go get em (recruits name)!!"  The kid basically led michigan on and decided the school wasn't good enough for his needs.  Acting like we're all going to become fans of every kid who spurns Michigan is retarded.  The minute he chooses otherwise is the minute he no longer matters to us.  Save the rhetoric.

I immediately acquire the maturity level of a small child when following recruiting.  Oh well, Good luck Josh!

 

 
 
 I hate you all fuck you and fuck the world god damn it why didn't he pick Michigan

maybe people are disappointed and don't know what else to say.  And so they wish him luck.  It may be disingenuous in your mind.  But at least our fans are being respectful and not lashing out at Josh for the decision he made.

I feel cheated on in the same way I felt cheated on when I found out Natalie Portman was pregnant. She was never mine, and though I thought we were in love, all she ever did was smile at me.

Would have been great.  But assume that academics really are no. 1 with the kid... Michigan opens many, many, many doors as professional schools and careers after football are concerned.  

But Stanford opens 'em all.  I'd have probably done the same.

(or maybe do Michigan undergrad then Stanford medical?  He does know he's not guaranteed admission to Stanford's medical school, right?  Admission to the med school is even tougher than undergrad-- and they don't care if you can play football... just sayin', seems like the best of both worlds, but if you want a guaranteed Stanford degree on your wall, take the Cardinal-red bird in hand)

Ah well, maybe just being philosophical but this leaves more room in the talent pipeline for the trench guys they're still after this year plus the 2013 guys. Seems to me it has a way of balancing itself out.

Dont act all high and mighty, Don.  Any negative attention Garnett gets right now from us is well deserved. Consider yourself duped with the rest of us, me most of all.

Don

January 26th, 2012 at 7:36 PM ^

I never thought Garnett was coming to UM in the first place, and I'm far from surprised that he chose Stanford. Save your dupitude for other people.

As for your statement: "Any negative attention Garnett gets right now from us is well deserved," you've now crossed over into Buckeye fan territory. Or have you forgotten how Kalis was treated by Ohio State fans?

Summoner10 wasn't pulling an OSU on Kalis, nor was I... and you tried to make it that way. There is nothing wrong with what Summoner10 said, at all.  I'm the last guy to wish ill on someone like that, however, if one deliberately decieves, then the LAST thing they'll get, are "good wishes and best of luck".

i am never ever going to follow a kids recruitment again! to hear him say all the right things than choose a different school. just let me know when some one commits.

I don't dislike the kid, but I'm sure as hell not going to wish him luck.  I don't wish luck on kids from any other program, let alone Stanford.
