I don't buy it at all, both for my mental health but more importantly: this would be very plausible if he had merely de-comitted. But he de-comitted and declared for Bama at the same time. Why would he commit to Bama and then renege right away?
December 13th, 2018 at 7:11 AM ^
Najee Harris was rather strange as well
December 12th, 2018 at 10:41 PM ^
I think he’ll stay with Bama. Hope I’m wrong.
December 12th, 2018 at 10:41 PM ^

Yapping dogs are gonna yap.....Jack Harbaugh
December 12th, 2018 at 10:42 PM ^
Read the "Where there's smoke" and thought it was a another weed thread. Long day
December 13th, 2018 at 3:52 AM ^
Where there's smoke, there's...WD?
December 12th, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
Only thing I can really guess, is that someone really sold him on the fact that Harbaugh was leaving. I thought it was interesting that Harbaugh seemed a little pissed when he made the comment about the same narrative being fabricated every year at this time. Maybe someone convinced Dax, Harbaugh put that to bed, and here we are. 100% guess though.
December 12th, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
That was my guess when Dax flipped so suddebly.
December 12th, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
“Suddebly” reminds me of Young Frankenstein: “SED-AH-GIVE?!?”

Nice knockers
December 13th, 2018 at 1:58 AM ^
They certainly were nice knockers but the line was great knockers.
December 13th, 2018 at 3:52 AM ^
thank you, herr doctor
December 13th, 2018 at 2:00 AM ^
They certainly were nice knockers but the line was great knockers.
Edit: one post for each knocker!
December 13th, 2018 at 6:07 AM ^
It was "What knockers!"
December 13th, 2018 at 9:53 AM ^
What knockers....is it off that I was turned on by the blond in those Mel brooks movies?
December 13th, 2018 at 3:25 AM ^
You can do it!
December 13th, 2018 at 6:38 AM ^
Herr Dax,
Walk this way...
December 13th, 2018 at 9:50 AM ^
This way.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:00 PM ^
That is a damn good guess, and addresses the WTF element of a sudden flip that makes everyone assume it was bagmen.
December 12th, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
If true, wouldn't one think that before changing said commitment it might be something the family might have a chat with the coaches about to clarify? Seems like there is more to the story than that. But, whatever. I would love to see him still be part of the class. He seems like a special talent.
Maybe they misspelled his name, and then he realized that they spelled it W-O-O-D-S-O-N and felt better about it.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:02 PM ^
Obligatory when mentioning the great one...
December 13th, 2018 at 12:48 AM ^
Underrated part of this play: Dhani Jones basically suplexing the intended receiver into the Michigan bench to add insult to injury.
December 13th, 2018 at 6:03 AM ^
Agreed! Love the aggression. Finish the play til the end. Take everything. Return physicality.
December 13th, 2018 at 10:22 AM ^
Or injury to insult.
December 13th, 2018 at 1:10 AM ^
I've seen this a million times and was always so in awe of Woodson that this is the first time I ever noticed Dhani Jones planting the receiver into the ground out of bounds.
December 13th, 2018 at 10:17 AM ^
Same here - what a revelation!
December 12th, 2018 at 11:22 PM ^
Unless someone convinced the kid that Harbaugh wasn't truthful. Who knows.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:33 PM ^
FUCK cris "motherfucking steve urkel looking" carter.
December 13th, 2018 at 1:48 AM ^
Urkel Carter... would make a nice College GameDay sign.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
Not if there's a family member or someone with similar influence telling the recruit that a coach is leaving or that he should flip for whatever reason. These are teenagers after all, and many of them have a long list of mentors/coaches/friends/family that they talk to, some of whom are not going to always have the best informed advice.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:32 PM ^
To be fair to these kids, I'm sure it gets confusing as hell. A lot of these coaches could put high pressure salesman to shame and as you said the kids are surrounded by people with their own motivations telling them all kinds of things. After a while, I'm sure the noise is overwhelming.
Hopefully Dax sees through it all and makes the best choice for himself. Would love to see him in Maize and Blue, though.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
This would seem to be it. Bama must have used some kind of “evidence” to make it seem like Harbaugh’s future at Michigan was up in the air. Michigan has just visited him and told him it’s fine so Dax feels misled by Michigan.
Then Harbaugh indicates he is clearly staying and now Dax feels misled by Alabama.
That said there are two weird things.
1. It’s one thing to decommit, it’s another to flip. He clearly has interest in Bama
2. The fact he wasn’t going to sign during the early period indicates he wasn’t 100% ready to pull the trigger on Michigan.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:33 PM ^
Obviously Saban colluded with Cris Carter.
December 13th, 2018 at 2:28 AM ^
As well as with you and Trump, obviously.
December 13th, 2018 at 2:06 AM ^
Well it was a 2 horse race, if you decommit from one, theres only one other option.
December 13th, 2018 at 5:16 AM ^
I think Dax has said that he wants to commit with his teammates in February. That might be some cover for him, but it's also entirely plausible.
December 12th, 2018 at 10:49 PM ^
Crootin’
December 12th, 2018 at 10:52 PM ^
Look...don't get too deep into the swamps of this thing. Step back from the keyboard. Take a deep breath. Tell yourself that Michigan always recruits pretty well because...Michigan.
December 12th, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
Dax flips to Michigan or I delete my account.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:05 PM ^
Why are you the way you are?
December 13th, 2018 at 8:49 AM ^
Every time we try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way.
December 12th, 2018 at 11:15 PM ^
!RemindMe on NSD
December 12th, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
lock it
December 12th, 2018 at 11:01 PM ^
Did someone really sell him on the idea that Harbuagh was leaving and that Don Brown was in the running to be a HC at Temple?
December 12th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
I believe Doc Brown did interview for the Temple job. At least according to the article on MLice.
