Sorry For The Misunderstanding I Was Only On A MLK Trip And Did NOT Commit to University Of Michigan
That should clear that up.

Shocking.
January 22nd, 2013 at 9:38 AM ^
I have also not committed to the University of Michigan.
January 22nd, 2013 at 9:53 AM ^
I'm still waiting for them to accept it.
Any decade now.

She kept dying and coming back to life, so I started to think I might not be able to trust her.
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:16 AM ^
Terrelle Pryor wanted to commit to Michigan University but committed to the University of Ohio State instead
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:40 AM ^
Also your reported time in the 40 seems a bit far fetched at 4.37.
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:52 AM ^
Pssh. The quarterback doesn't need good pad level.
January 22nd, 2013 at 3:16 PM ^
One Billion fakes... out of Five
January 22nd, 2013 at 2:55 PM ^
Can you give us sort of a timetable for when you plan to announce?
January 22nd, 2013 at 4:13 PM ^
I'm planning to announce before I'm a senior citizen, but I might take it all the way to Judgment Day.
January 22nd, 2013 at 6:42 PM ^
a little before his AARP card arrived. You'll definitely get the senior vote for Heisman.

January 22nd, 2013 at 9:42 AM ^
How the hell does a MLK trip explain this? Also, what the hell is a MLK trip?
January 22nd, 2013 at 9:45 AM ^
He had a dream.
January 22nd, 2013 at 9:51 AM ^
It's Aramaic for "Moloch."
January 22nd, 2013 at 3:08 PM ^
"Moloch". Well played Magnus, well played indeed.
January 22nd, 2013 at 6:31 PM ^
Moloch who entered my soul early! Moloch in whom I am a consciousness without a body! Moloch who frightened me out of my natural ecstasy! Moloch whom I abandon! Wake up in Moloch! Light streaming out of the sky!
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:04 AM ^
I'm thinking it's something like an LSD trip.
January 22nd, 2013 at 9:43 AM ^
I, on the other hand, have committed to the University of Michigan, and I remain very deeply committed. Of course, I am 40 yrs. old and would be rather useless on a football field, but that's beside the point.
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:08 AM ^
"I'm a man! I'm 40!"
Gundy could use a recruit like you.
January 22nd, 2013 at 9:43 AM ^

January 22nd, 2013 at 9:44 AM ^
Hey just wanted to clarify, sorry for the misunderstanding but I just finished my first cup of coffee and I did NOT commit to the University of Michigan.
???
January 22nd, 2013 at 11:47 AM ^
I just committed myself but, come to find out, I'm not able to decommit without a full medical evaluation and I have a feeling I'm not going to pass it. I should have just committed to Michigan instead. Dammit.
January 22nd, 2013 at 9:50 AM ^
January 22nd, 2013 at 9:51 AM ^
"did not receive an offer".
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:06 AM ^
He was talking to other recruits saying he was going to play with them next year. I think he thought he received an offer and didn't. Feel kind of bad for the kid, but he should have probably talked to the coaches before saying what he did.
Or this kid is like the one guy that commited to Cal without any offers.
Or this kid just wanted attention, at which point I do not feel sorry for him in the slightest.
Yes, one of those three is how I feel.
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:04 AM ^
"...sorry for the misunderstanding (that I shamelessly created and perpetuated)".
Kid sounds like a real winner.
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:06 AM ^
Moving on.
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:22 AM ^
I committed and then decommitted over 20 years ago, and by "committed" I mean "enrolled" and by "decommitted", I mean "graduated".
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:24 AM ^
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:25 AM ^
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:27 AM ^
I dunno. His twitter background has a picture of the scoreboard on it and he retweeted a bunch of people congratulating him on committing to Michigan. I believe we have another odd story on our hands.
January 22nd, 2013 at 11:33 AM ^
Clearly he is a Notre Dame spy that has been missioned to disrupt the schadenfreude of the Michigan fan base with some maize and blue colored catfish
January 22nd, 2013 at 11:11 AM ^
Do the 49ers play rock-paper-scissors on the sidelines during their games?
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:52 AM ^
We could really use a guy that catches 8 passes in his career.
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:57 AM ^
Ask him about his friend Harvey
January 22nd, 2013 at 10:58 AM ^
For the next 4 years I will be taking my talents to my couch to watch TV
January 22nd, 2013 at 11:07 AM ^
In the history of Michigan football?
January 22nd, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
It's happened before. Travis Williams (I think was his name) was a kid who committed to Rich Rodriguez without a Michigan offer. I think he ended up signing with the Miami Redhawks.
January 22nd, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
but the copied pic from McGarys twitter makes me feel like this guy was looking for attention
January 22nd, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
Best way to get followers fast? Fake a commitment to Michigan over twitter...
January 22nd, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
It looks like he's now deleted the tweet calling it a misunderstanding, but he has changed his bio to no longer include anything about a commitment. But he still has all those tweets congratulating him RT'd.
January 22nd, 2013 at 1:29 PM ^
of stalking and sensationalism = women who obsess about every Kardashian tabloid cover.
And, yes, I know, I clicked on this thread. I enjoy this blog and will typically click on and give every post at least a quick scan if I have time. But this whole mini-firestorm over this kid is pretty pathetic.
January 22nd, 2013 at 1:31 PM ^
I'm offended.
Obsessing over Kardashian tabloid covers is not limited to women.
