REFUTED: Hoke does NOT cry over Recruits

Hoke just told Sam Webb that's just a rumor, he has never cried over a recruit (read: Green).  His dad - yes.  Recruits - nah.  Not sure where that rumor started.  As some people in that thread said, you could see Hoke crying after a young man graduates after 5 years with Hoke but just for a signing? Nah. 

Now has Hoke often pointed at a recruit?  Hell yes. (allegedly)

EDIT - as poster commented below the quote came from Green

“He was real excited,” Green said. “I kept him on his toes. But when I told him today he was just astound and actually started crying. It was crazy, it was an unbelievable experience.”

And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know.. it's gonna be Michigan again. Michigan.

Green clarified that later (I don't remember where) saying that Hoke was emotional, but he wasn't sure if he cried. I think it is safe to say that Hoke is always passionate about what he is building at Michigan, but no tears over a recruit, whether he signs or not.

Hoke has a pretty unique voice, and I can imagine he could be mistaken as crying when just getting really excited about something. Especially over the phone.

I remember how shocked I was when I first heard Hoke's voice at his introductory press conference. Wasn't what I was expected when I saw pictures of the guy.
