Latest on Aubrey Solomon

Submitted by ThatGuyCeci on
In a recent turn of events that only crootin can bring, Sam Webb thinks we have a LEGIT shot at Aubrey Solomon. He said he's floored.. also asks that Michigan fans stop with the "we don't want this kid" stuff. Because frankly, that's just bs and not true. Come on to AA Aubrey.. we'll welcome you with open arms. UPDATE: Ryan Bartow of 24/7 sports just Ballzed Solomon to Michigan

I can't even fathom how this could be true...you don't just say Fuck Michigan...this feels alot like being played with by him. I don't care and would welcome him if he committed, but just my opinion

Not saying I agree with what he said/did but have you never been in a position where you're trying to console someone that's bitter and you just fed into what they were feeling?

What's that you just went through a bitter breakup? Yeah man screw chicks!

Honey I might have said some things I didn't mean...but my friend is feeling better...I love you...I'm sorry.

Just me? Well I know where he MAY have been coming from.

I hope you're right. I think it could be he just realized he said Fuck you to a staff that is well connected at both the college and pro levels. So now he's doing damage control and saying what the staff wants to hear. He still wants to break up with her but is being much nicer now that he realizes he may cross paths with her or someone she knows in the future. Hope I'm wrong.

I don't think Sam would outright lie to his audience.  There have been some times, though, when I've felt like he was building up our chances at a recruit into more than they were - not saying "[recruit] is going to Michigan" but "Michigan may still have a shot at him" or "I don't know where he's going, we'll have to wait and see."  

And then there's the "I'm predicting it but it's not a gut feeling" verbal gymnastics.

Sam is home grown, and I think he bleeds blue and doesn't favor Michigan just because he works at WTKA. He's also a recruiting guy; he's not going to say things that are going to reduce any respect we have for him as a guy who puts out recruiting news. He may have been wrong a time or two but most of us would probably be wrong more times than that if we were in his shoes. I think Sam is great and deserves more props than some of you are giving him.

Sam is pretty good, but I think he's a bit bullish on where Michigan stands with guys.

Understandably so given we are his audience and obviously this group of fans isn't great at taking bad news. When he hypes something I just take it as Michigan is a contender for the player unless he does his gut thing.
