he is choosing a school out of a hat? And will that hat contain all three schools? Which would make his decision entirely random?

After reading some of your comments, I kinda miss the days where Brady Hoke would just fill the entire class up by August and take the rest of the year off. That way we could lose 5 games and let Derrick Green gain 40 pounds of fat and still honor his scholarship.

How can you be a commit if you say you're deciding on NSD?  It's getting pretty laughable at that point.  Maybe it's just to drag out the attention.

I'm really trying to make sense of all this crootin' stuff and I honestly don't know what to think. 

Seems wrong that Harbaugh would pull a scholarship a couple weeks before signing day. But it also seems wrong that a verbal commitment doesn't mean jack shart and a kid can flip the day before NSD. Thinking from a coach's perspective, I can understand why overloading a class seems somewhat necessary. How is a staff supposed to fill every need when they don't know who's gonna commit and who's gonna abandon their verbal last minute? Take Elliot for example: he's a huge need at DT with the massive attrition coming next year. The staff needs to be able to pursue others (Talagoa, Dwumfour, etc) in the dubious yet possible case that Elliot doesnt sign. 

Ultimately, recruiting is insane. There is no perfect solutiion.

Didn't he say a few days ago he was 110% Michigan and he bleeds blue? See ya buddy. Eddie McDoom can take your spot. Don't commit until you have taken all your visits to avoid changing.

If Mr Johnson is a "Michigan Commit," what's he doing pulling hats on Signing Day? If he is not honoring any "commitment" to M, does M need to honor any commitment to him? My guess is M will continue to recruit as if he's uncommitted, and, as someone said earlier, if Johnson selects M on Signing Day, M will honor that decision if a spot's available for him. If not, M's response is "too late!"

This has been a retarded couple of crootin' days. Maybe what he means is that he is committed to michigan, but silently committed to nd, and double secret committed to the third school? (Don't remember the third school. Drunk.)

If you're already committed you don't pull hats you attention loving whore. I'm over this kid already. I hope there are no spots left when he commits and he looks stupid for even having an M hat on the table

Commitments just don't mean a ton at this point. It goes both ways. I don't have a giant issue with this because it makes things better if both sides aren't on board.

 

Maybe the kid saw UM bringing in extra WRs and didn't want to be a part of it, maybe coaches hinted he should look elsewhere, maybe he's having second thoughts about a new offer he didn't have before. Whatever reason it's where he's going to school for the next for years and this is what a "commit" means right now. It's not binding, which means this will occur, but also means UM can walk away when it needs to.
