Mecole Hardman Decides to Not Do Mid-Season Silent Commitment (story clarified)
Story per people below: Mecole Hardman -- a 5 Star Athlete (Peppers-type recruit) from Georgia ('16) -- was originally going to silent commit during the season but not tell the media who he had committed to. He's abandoned that plan because the choice has gotten harder, which is probably a good sign for Michigan since Georgia has been the favorite.
I will not be doing my silent commitment any longer!

TO CLEAR ALL RUMORS, I wasn't "silently" committed to any school!!

I would like to announce that I have silently decommitted from my ultra-secret silent committment.
November 23rd, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^
The Caveman is comin'!
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:01 PM ^
I on the other hand remain firmly committed to The University of Michigan - both silently and OUT LOUD
November 23rd, 2015 at 5:56 PM ^
What if he silently didn't decommit from his silent commitment?

All you need to focus on is Taysom Hill not decommitting from his unsilent 6th year transfer.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:33 PM ^
What if I silently know what's going to happen with Taysom Hill and I'm keeping it silent in this thread about silent commits?
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:21 PM ^
Because this is about being silent.
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:45 PM ^
...but deadly

November 23rd, 2015 at 8:21 PM ^
What if I silently knew this and was silently testing the waters?
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:18 PM ^
Is it only official if and when a fallen tree in the forest hears the sound of his silent decommitment? And what does the sound of a silent decommitment sound like?

This is peak big time college football recruiting. What a time to be alive.

I would tell you, but it's a secret.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:23 PM ^
commitment, then make it official on signing day, or some other time. Now he's planning to skip being a silent anywhere and will just wait.
Wait would that mean to Michigan? I have no idea. It looks like he wants to wait and see what happens with UGA. I'd guess that's still his likely destination.
November 23rd, 2015 at 5:57 PM ^
He's from GA and everyone from GA knows that it's cold in July in Ann Arbor!
November 23rd, 2015 at 5:57 PM ^

I hope it's a joke making light of recruiting, because if so that's rather funny. If it's sincere, well thats funny in a different way.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:18 PM ^
Nope not a joke.

This is huge. This kid is a monster 5*. I read it as "Time to announce this commitment" instead of "Decommitting from the team I'm silently committed to." Am I crazy for thinking this?
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:00 PM ^
He isn't announcing soon. Somebody else asked him that and he said no.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:01 PM ^
Never mind, I'm wrong. He's answering questions in the replies to his tweet. Seems like he's really seriously considering Michigan and as a result:
1) He's not a silent commit to wherever he was silently committed
2) He's announcing on signing day
3) ???
4) Michigan profit?
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:03 PM ^
Geez got to be fast around here.
Was in middle of writing this post and noting "that's a first"!
Well that only helps us - doesnt mean he is coming but it sure doesn't hurt! Sucks for Georgia - I guess the OT win over GA Southern didn't impress!

Georgia Southern's actually a decent team. Destroyed WMU and only had 2 losses.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:12 PM ^
Luckily, 17 year old kids are not that granular.
Quick check of schedule shows me they lost a close one to West Viginia, 44-0 as well.
And they lost 31-13 to (drumroll) App State.
ITS HAPPENING.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:18 PM ^
5 so far and soon to be 6 as they play @Toledo this weekend.
Beating WMU is no great feat. The boat is taking on leaks.
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:28 PM ^
and all 5 losses are very respectable. Ohio State and Michigan state, AT Georgia Southern, AT defending conference champs NIU, and at home to a good Bowling Green team that's beaten 2 B1G teams. I'm not saying theyre a world beater, but theyre pretty good.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:04 PM ^

I'll just have to go along with this. I'd love to have him and all, BUT, if he goes Blue, that would have to be my lemon-eating moment. I'm officially confused, intrigued, and yes, a little bit hopeful . . .
EDIT: spelling
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:06 PM ^
And you read it here first.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:08 PM ^
richt is furiously texting weather apps to Hardman as we speak.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:19 PM ^
It's definitely a bad sign for Mark Richt when he's lost control of silent commitments, meteorology and the dialogue regarding his own future within the span or a year or so, not to mention two of those in the same day.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:10 PM ^
Maybe he just meant he'll be doing a loud, audible commit
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:11 PM ^
We are not going to get him, period.
November 23rd, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
Shut up

...my divorce from my imaginary wife was finalized today.

I even lost the boat I never had!
