He's trolling.
December 12th, 2018 at 2:29 PM ^
He also has Zach Harrison crystal balled to Michigan since 11/5, and has not changed it.
If he is trolling - must be part of some subtle master plan...
December 12th, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
And if I'm reading his balls correctly...He flipped 4* OSU Safety commit, Jordan Battle, from OSU to Bama before he flipped Dax to Michigan.
Edit... My bad. I see this being discussed down below.
December 12th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
Flippin' Ballz!
December 12th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
It looks like he flipped his Jordan Battle crystal ball on 11/5
December 12th, 2018 at 3:46 PM ^
To crush all of our hopes and dreams like they always do.
December 12th, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
It’s like when an Ohio state fan says they are worried about losing the Michigan Game...if they say the opposite of what they really think then the opposite outcome will come true. It’s a Jedi mind trick...don’t fall for it.
December 12th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
FWIW, this was speculated on the 247 premium board. It sounds like some staff talked to him and confirmed that he has a legitimate source. Steve also confirmed this is no way a troll job.
December 12th, 2018 at 2:53 PM ^
Sam was pretty forceful saying this wasn't over just yet. Dax might not come to UM, but it sure seems that things are still a little undecided.
December 12th, 2018 at 3:02 PM ^
I know this is a long shot, but I hope so badly that Hill is just creating an elaborate plan to troll saban on signing day. Like without any indication he will send his letter of intent to Ann Arbor instead.
December 12th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
You never know. Especially if Saban, et al, lied to him about Harbaugh leaving.
December 12th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
This is an interesting take. Makes some sense, especially because I want it to be true
December 12th, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
Hill and Harrison both quietly with no fanfare just send thier letters in and show up. Harrison never "commits" to anyone and Hill leaves his Bama verbal on record but sends his letter to Michigan. Would be epic.
December 12th, 2018 at 4:28 PM ^
Hell, even if he sends it to Ann Arbor by mistake, we'll take it!
December 12th, 2018 at 9:53 PM ^
Can't you just whip up a NLI for him? Who's the NCAA gonna believe, the kid?
December 12th, 2018 at 4:43 PM ^
He is going to Bama.
December 12th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
You're no fun.
December 12th, 2018 at 4:58 PM ^
Saban probably doesn't know who this kid is. . .
December 12th, 2018 at 5:25 PM ^
okie?
December 12th, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
Well, you are equating the mentality of Dax Hill with that of a message board guy.
Not likely. More likely is he was excited, maybe the rumor about Don Brown had some smock to it, but now he has settled back down and is just rethinking things a bit more.
Couyld be that the young man is, well, a human being dealing with a tough decision, I don't know.
December 12th, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
I like Sam as much as the next guy, but PLEASE, Sam is just covering his butt as this caught him by surprise also. No recruiting guru wants to admit they got blindsided, so they start the "it ain't over yet line."
Najee Harris drama 2.0
December 12th, 2018 at 4:17 PM ^
Even if it is Najee Harris 2.0, that just means that Dax is currently getting his room number, school schedule for spring semester, and filing whatever other paperwork is necessary to be enrolled this Spring. If that is the case, then I cant blame anyone for feeling good about him coming to Michigan still.
Sam has straight up said there is a story behind this and that he will share it when he has officially signed (somewhere).
December 12th, 2018 at 4:46 PM ^
Sam is not covering anything. He nailed Hill's commit in September. Hill changed his mind and is going to Bama. Sometimes people change their minds and Sam can't predict that.
December 12th, 2018 at 5:26 PM ^
Precisely. I don't get all of the Sam hate around here.
I don't love the guy but he has been a very good recruiting reporter for us. Sometimes he's wrong, but he is mostly right and adds a lot of valuable info.
People, please lay off!
December 12th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
But I'm mad that a commit flipped and I really want to take it out on someone. And Sam Webb said something a long time ago given imperfect information, which is generally useful. . .
Look. I'm just mad and I want to blame someone. Don't use logic with me ok. Lets make a truce. I'll say stupid shit to vent. And you ignore me. Ok?
/Sam Haters.
December 12th, 2018 at 4:32 PM ^
Dude this is totally different. Hill was committed to Michigan, Harris was committed to Alabama. Hill flipped, and there is nothing for Sam to cover his butt for. Just stop.
December 12th, 2018 at 4:46 PM ^
He already admitted that he was blindsided. In fact I believe his exact words were "this blindsided me"
December 12th, 2018 at 4:59 PM ^
After Karlaftis latest in-home, Sam said It's a done deal with him going to Purdue. End of story.
If Dax's dad said, 'He's going to Alabama.Done deal' I think Sam would've said that its over.
Dax's pop must've said something for Sam to believe this ain't over.
December 12th, 2018 at 9:26 PM ^
Sam is always forceful with his ballz.
December 12th, 2018 at 10:14 PM ^
I hope Sam never gets a vasectomy...cuz those ballz produce!
December 12th, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
If he's a legit source, he may not want to troll...probably not good for business.
December 12th, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
This is why I drink.
December 12th, 2018 at 2:20 PM ^
I have a bag of lemons standing by if you need a slice for your cocktail.
December 12th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
I took a screenshot of your post earlier this week just to make sure that happens Haha
December 12th, 2018 at 4:05 PM ^
Ill see his bag of lemons and raise another bag, mostly because i like lemons
December 12th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
Seconded lol.
December 12th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
As if a Canadian ever truly required a reason to drink...
December 12th, 2018 at 2:51 PM ^
BUT....do you know things?
December 12th, 2018 at 9:29 PM ^
Just this?
December 12th, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
He probably did it just to fuck with us ...
December 12th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
Surprised he didn't CB Dax to Purdue, seeing as they're the best team in the Big Ten and all...
December 12th, 2018 at 3:14 PM ^
Oh Marcus...
December 12th, 2018 at 2:58 PM ^
If he was trying to fuck with you, he would have tweeted some fake coupons for an all you can eat joint.
December 12th, 2018 at 4:23 PM ^
TBH, that would hurt my feelings too, especially if it's Texas de Brazil.
December 12th, 2018 at 10:21 PM ^
If there has ever been a fanbase that SHOULDN'T be fucked with, it's Michigan's. We have been dragged through the agony of the BPONE for so long now we don't know which way is up anymore.
December 13th, 2018 at 9:49 AM ^
I don't think you have the wit to understand a joke Marcus
December 12th, 2018 at 2:15 PM ^
DAFUQ!
December 12th, 2018 at 2:15 PM ^
Good one
December 12th, 2018 at 2:16 PM ^
It’s not happening
