any idea where he's leaning,
any idea where he's leaning, or if it at least looks more positive for certain schools than others?
Almost every rumor I heard today has him going to Tennessee...
Thanks!

I also heard rumors that he
I also heard rumors that he was in Idaho on Saturday. So there's that.
I get the feeling that this kid is enjoying his recruitment and loving every minute of this. Good for him, bad for all the "insiders" who think they have breaking information.

Actually
He was at the Michigan game. There were pictures and everything -- I think he tweeted about a surprise visit to Boise State, but that was a joke.
He was in Michigan gear watching the craziest game in the history of the Big House.

Huh
I have absolutely no information, but if it's not us then I hope it's someone outside the B10 (or at least not MSU).
I'm fine if Tom knows something but doesn't want to hint, we'll find out where he's going shortly enough and he deserves his time in the spotlight.

Altough it looks good that he visited us last, and had a good time. I think we would need some serious snake oil to pull this one out.

I'm always up for a good pos bang. You got one coming your way if your right. This may not have the drama of a Raback, but i'm a sucker for predictions.

Yessir
That Raback prediction was epic. Ever since then, I've referred to recruiting predictions/guarantees as "Raback-ing it."
Also, your avatar is intriguing.

He had a source that let him
He had a source that let him know that Demar Dorsey was coming to Michigan. We said if he didn't it would be a neg bang for the ages. I also believe Megan Fox was in play on this bet as well. Anyhow is handle was Raback. Demar committed to Michigan pos bang ensued and the angry Michigan secondary gods pissed on our parade.

em0
That guy was crazy about depth charts, posting them years in advance with potential recruits and whatnot. There was a new one practically every day, and he would neg you if you criticized the concept of future depth charts or his projections. Then he'd get banned and come back with a slightly different username but the same posts and comments like "who's em0?"
Eventually I think his depth chart analysis became similar to the computer in War Games playing tic-tac-toe, and his brain just exploded (at least that's how I like to imagine it).

When I first joined there was
When I first joined there was another guy that had been banned and kept returning under different names and asking about himself. I cna't remember what his original name was, but everytime anyone would ask about him everyone would assume it was him re-incarnate.

I think we need a "The last few years of MGoBlog..." post that recaps all this nonsense... because it's quite funny. THere may already be something in the User Curated HOF, not sure.

My guts are filled with beer and salami
and will likely cost me an angioplasty by age 45, but my gut is also saying we've got a damn good shot at this kid. The timing, his original interest in the school, the investigation concluded and RR's job appearing to be safe for another season all were part of his reasons to not seriously consider us. Then, he simply came to the craziest game ever.
Agreed that snake oil must flow, but I have a good feeling about a commit.
I wonder what kind of impact a DA commit would have on Sammy Watkins...

Kids like this love the
Kids like this love the attention, most of the time they have been the center of attention for years because of their skill and they just love everylittle piece of attention they can get. I'm not saying that DeAnthony is this type of kid or anything but I'm just saying don't get your hopes up because of that.
November 8th, 2010 at 10:20 PM
#45
Hey,
If he is one of the kids who love attention who you're describing, then he's either trolling our blog right now laughing his ass of at us for getting our hopes up, or he's trolling our blog right now to see how excited we are for his commitment, and after seeing your comment he's a little upset at you stereotyping him into a kid who loves attention... either way, bad.

DeAnthony is not like that
Remember this is a kid who came on a surprise visit this weekend. Sam Webb said in his Recruiting Roundup on WTKA today that the reason he didn't announce he was coming was because he wanted to let the coaches know he was sincere in his interest and wasn't using Michigan to add hype to his signing announcement.
I know you made it clear you weren't implying this, but just wanted to put any thought about that being what this is to rest. Now everyone can get their hopes up.
November 8th, 2010 at 8:13 PM

I like it
It could be that I want him to come really bad, but that logic is 100% legit to me, and I am now convinced he is going blue.
November 8th, 2010 at 8:16 PM
#48
Well, and Tom can correct me
Well, and Tom can correct me if I'm wrong, but it could be that Arnett texted Tom with this info because Tom texted him first saying "Please let me know when you have decided when you'll be announcing your commitment" and Arnett simply replied.
Although I agree with your second bullet.

If so inclined, you might add
If so inclined, you might add to that list the factor that Roy Roundtree broke Michigan receiving records, thereby undercutting the cliche that 'you won't get recognized as a receiver in RR's offense.'
He didn't visit MSU?
