TomVH: DeAnthony Arnett Press Conference Update

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!

Everybody who sees a DeAnthony Arnett commit on Wednesday say Yeah!

Expecting the worst, hoping for the best...

He's blue

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...

I would love to see him pick the Maize n Blue, if we aren't the choice please go out west and NO SPARTY. If I remember correctly, he went sour on us because of the perception that we 'Don't Throw'. Well, he couldn't have been at a better game to dispel those thoughts...GO BLUE

While we speak RR is busy whipping up a batch extra powerful snake oil. I have a good feeling about this. Go Blue Mr. Arnett!!!

Timing is everything and I think seeing that game in person could have done a ton for a talented young kid who just wants the ball. 

I can see him being attracted to a school with the most dynamic QB in the NCAA who happens to be a sophomore, and offense that just destroyed a top 15 defense.  Oh, and we have DG waiting to step in...  Looks pretty rosy to me..

In two days at the DeAnthony "Decision" ........

I will be taking my talents... to Ann Arbor.

Fingers Crossed!

 Do you know anything about Joe Kerridge?http://mgorecruit.blogspot.com/

were CAL, USC, and Michigan.

Now I am not him, but why would he choose USC when they have a new coach and are under major sanctions from the NCAA?

CAL?  Well CAL is a good academic school, but no better than Michigan.  And they are certainly not very competitive in the PAC 10 or BCS.

UM?  UM has great academics, has 3 great quarterbacks, an offensive genius coach, and is a 2 hour drive away from home.

To me, this choice is a no-brainer. 

DeAnthony, Go Blue!

If we don't get him, I will wish him good luck in the future.  Surely the game had an effect on his decision, but if not then maybe it had a positive effect on sammy watkins who has us currently on the top of his list with Clemson.  I see us getting atleast one of the two WR's and both of them would definitely boost our 2011 class ratings. 

Was it already known that he would be announcing in this general timeframe (early nov-ish)?

Or was it just recently known that he would make his announcement just days after a surprise visit to M to see one of the craziest games ever?

I would think the answer to that question could possibly be telling...

It was said that RR recruits harder in other states and not in his own back yard....just from having my ear to the ground...He will not be a wolverine...just based on RR not going harder after Michigan (in State) recruits....MSU

Yipee, another WR

Seriously, it's nice if he comes here and all. But Michigan's offense is locked and loaded. I'll get excited for a 5 - star defensive back. Or even a 4 star.

Why doesn't someone reach out and ask THE_KNOWLEDGE. I'm sure he already knows. Maybe he'd be willing to share that with us. I like that our visit was only 4 days before his announcement. I think it puts us in a good position unless he is such a heavy lean toward USC or MSU that even a great weekend couldn't sway him.

I agree with Justin Beaver. 

Hope he's Blue!

I'm not sure how significant this is really but after checkin out his twitter account after hearin about these claims about being in idaho, boise, and alabama within 24 hours I saw this tweet from november 3rd.

"IM WEARING NUMBER #1 IN COLLEGE ITS OFFICIAL"

no ones worn the #1 at michigan in a while, and I'm not sure how significant that number is to other teams at the wide receiver position as it is at michigan. Just saying, plus having visited michigan right after that. 

Or i may just be too optimistic by it

Why.  Because tom has not commented once on this thread or the inital thread about our chances.  When Tom feels like we got no shot, he usually states so and answers questions in the thread.  that is not happening here.  He is always very respectful of how recruits wan their decisions to be known and never leaks early information unless the recruit wants him to.  Quiet Tom = Hopeful me. 

Plus.  He was a Michigan fan growing up!  You can't ignore that as being a huge factor no matter what recruits say. 

If  that #1 jersey comment is true, I'd say there's no way RR makes that promise to a kid when he hasn't earned it yet. Sounds like a Kiffin move.  We have kids busting their asses and trying to win for last couple years and you think a hs kid gets promised that jersey? No way. Especially when Roy just said he wants it, but knows he has to earn it.

okay everybody if this kid comes to mich it will be as big as Demar Dorsey, (wish he was Here) cause it seemed like Mich was the last school on his mind I mean he never talked about Mich bein in the runing or acted like he was seriously interested, it seems like he thinks he's to big for Mich, like he has to go someway and be that teams "Shoelace" I tell ya what !!!!!! if he comes to Mich I'll do somethin that makes me sick I'll sing the Suckeye Battle Cry in my office in front of the whole Floor...I hope im wrong cause there gonna look at me like im crazy

@DArnett13: Sorry I couldnt wait for 2moro I want to thank all coaches for offering me! My skool is.... http://twitvid.com/9VYRK
