Ty Isaac commits, but questions remain

Who? Basketball guy?

We may want to pump the breaks on this for now. Wonderful news if true but after reading the linked article I didn't get the impression this was completely solid information yet. More speculation than facts IMO.

This is good news if it turns out true, but I hope it doesn't mean Michigan has no shot at D. Harris or Weber.

A broken clock is right twice a day. Welcome aboard TI.

who he.

Can we still sway Laquon Treadwell? I was excited about that duo two years ago.

Oh me so haaappy, oh-oh, me so haaaappy.

Nice pick up Brady Hoke and the Michigan men. As much as I would like to see him play it may be better if he shirts considering how this year RB targets are trending. This is very good.

I feel nothing until there's a "Hello:" in front of the topic.

I'm cautiously dancing right now.  

If it's true, then it's one of the biggest pickups since at least last August. Erik Swenson was big too starting off 2016.

It would suck to lose Damien Harris but you're basically replacing him with another 5 star RB who had 5 yards per carry at USC.

The NCAA is such a joke I could see then granting a waiver

He has to get NCAA approval for this.  I wouldn't be dancing just yet.  Does anyone know how the hardship waiver process works?

Go get your coffee, Coach Hoke.

@JFowlerCBS

Was told anything can happen and process not done but Isaac has given UM strong indications he'll end up there.

"strong indications" not exactly "commits."

Not exactly Debbie Downer, but maybe Cautious Connie.

I do enjoy having 5* RBs, but it's not like we've been missing RB talent lately, we've been missing people who can block for them. I'd be totally comfortable with Deveon or Green being the feature back the next 3 years. Isaac is great, but any of the 3 would be just fine behind a good OL

He would have to sit out a year correct? I wonder what this will mean for Green and Smith in regards to playing time when Isaac is able to play.

cant take it serious until I see something on the main page but if true...this is monster pick up.  For people who are worried about too many solid RBs and playing time for these kids...competition makes everyone better (a la Alaama), step up your game and you will play...with this stable of running backs, they will have to bring their A game every day on the field and in the classroom.    

I hope this is true 

So there actually is a chance he can play next fall for us? So confused. I guess the NCAA can do what they want.

Exactly what they're asking at the INDY HQ...

So this means that he ends up at Michigan State, Ohio State, or Notre Same right? Isn't that how Michigan 'locks' work? (juuuuuuuuuust kidding)

in reverse

If we somehow have a terrible running game this year again then I give up all hope forever. 

*IF* he comes to Ann Arbor, I would actually prefer that he redshirts a year.

The crazy thing is Ty going to USC got us Derrick Green and somehow we still may end up with both. Don't think that would have happened if Ty committed to us initially.

Say he does come AND gets the waiver to play this year.

If Michigan had even a 2012 OL.....

All of this rides on the OL. But if they somehow pull it together enough....look out.

T.I., Derrick and De'Veon could be reminiscent of 1992 with Wheatley, Powers and Johnson.

I'm not saying but I'm saying. 

Has to run behind this disaster of an offensive line...yeah I know, neg away

It's better for both parties. Isaac gets to be closer to home and we add another stud RB.

I would kiss you on the lips if you were here. Since you're not, I'll go celebrate by feeling up the wife...

Please change the title, I got excited for no reason!!!!

how's Drake Johnson doing? felt bad for the kid, the more the merrier in the backfield.

btw I think he is just making sure he can even commit before deciding, I'm not jumping the gun here.

Well I hope he actually commits. This is partly why I hate the twitter. Anyone can tweet about "sources".

Old man cliches about carts and horses, counting chickens, and birds in the bush.

Regarding his mother's condition, wouldn't it be better if he sat out a year? I assume that it would be easier for him to visit home more often this next year if he's on the scout team than it would be if he's on the active roster...

commits come in pairs

There was a tweet or two out there that seemed to indicate that with might know for certain one way or the other in the next couple days, so I assume that if that is the case, then this might be a reference to making sure the administrative end of it is in order. If Isaac does somehow end up in Ann Arbor, then I will say that I like where the RB spot is at just that much more given the options then available. 

I'm not sure many realize the freakish athlete TI really is. He is bigger and faster than either D. Harris or Weber. Kid is huge and elusive with great hands, you just don't see guys this big with breakaway speed. That's why he was a consensus 5 star recruit. If this materializes, we should be ecstatic.

Great news, but the title should change pending the Hello post.

Says Michigan fans should be optimistic, but that nothing definitive has happened yet, according to the Isaac family.

Sam Webb on today's recruiting roundup said he had a "strong feeling in his gut" that Isaac will pick Michigan. It sounds like he's expecting an official announcement sometime today. He said that Michigan fans should be optimistic.

I feel a lot better about losing Justin fargas to usc now...

Sam on the recruiting roundup says we'll know more about the Isaac situation but his "gut feeling" was that he'll end up at Michigan later today. 

Heard we might use Isaac at WR too. Has great hands and size: 6-2 220. Any truth to it?

Reflex is that Issac might deter Harris or Weber. We didn't take a 14 back. And top level guys, especially running backs, shouldn't be intimidated by positional depth. It's going to exist everywhere. Wisconsin has loads, OSU picks up quality backs every year. MSU got a good one last year.



Coaches are selling depth as a way to stay fresh, and Nuss can prove it with his Bama guys. I'd love to have Harris and/or Weber. But I'll take a 5 star in hand vs two long recruitments in the bush.

BREAKING NEWS. SAM WEBB HAS A GUT AND IT'S FEELING BLUE.

A lot of things happen when I'm asleep. I should sleep more often...

One good bit of news: admissions is really tough on transfers to Michigan because they don't respect the coursework of other schools, but if there's a short list of schools that shouldn't be a problem with, USC is one of them.

Of course, I couldn't get them to transfer credits from the friggin Harvard of the Francophone world (Paris IV, La Sorbonne) so...

Can he pick up the blitz???

The title of the OP is like the end of a lot of modern day sequal that refuse to stand on their own and instead need to be split into two movies to make more money (even though it's really only one movie and only should be one movie; also note that this isn't a criticism of the OP, just an observation).

It's like, we had the first movie - "Isaac Goes to Southern California". Then we get the sequel "Ty Isaac Commits... But Questions Remain" and we are all now leaving the theater on the edge of our seat waiting for the third and final movie of the trilogy to come out. Here's to hoping we aren't disappointed with part 3.

Real question, would it be better for the program if he doesn't get a waiver, and in turn is a year behind Green and Smith?

I like this news. That is all. Carry on.

this news, and no one can take that away from me. Cheers
