In his best guest list he put Victor Viramontes as being in the class so maybe it's more evidence to him recommiting to Michigan. Just my guess that probably isn't even close to right.

Yea thats what I was thinking. Though I do think VV has gotten a following that would be extremely excited about him coming back into the class. I'm thinking in order to break the interenet, if it indeed really is a commitment, would have to be either of the West Coast guys, Gary, Hardman, Fuller, or a suprise top player announcing to Michigan that no one thinks we have a shot with. Though it probably isn't a commitment and it probably won't break the internet.

In the screen capture above, it was framed as not a "bad break" or a "good break" but a "great break."  I don't know, but to me that sounds more long-lasting than just who might attend SOTS.  i.e. more likely to be news about landing a recruit.

I'd be a little pissed if his info was just another attendee at SOTS. I don't really care who is there and I don't think many others will other than maybe 2017 recruits.

Wish you could hold people accountable for such claims. "The Internet will break tonight or tomorrow" and it has to do with recruiting. Dude, this better be BIG news. If not I will lead internet pitch forks and torches to this dudes Twitter account.

C'mon guys, doesn't the server at a restuarant ALWAYS recommend the expensive dish/drinks? This guys a recruiting-media guy, that's his job. Drum up excitement? That's the job.

"Having to do with recruiting", is literally the vaguest thing on the planet. Every single aspect of The University of Michigan, and every single ASPECT of the "Signing of The Stars" has to do with "recruiting". the location, the press coverage, the attendees etc.

I mean, I'm super optimistic, because Jim Harbaugh since Day 1 has proven to be other worldly....

but weighing between internet-sensationalism/click-baiting in the attention-economy we now live in, versus something that will actually "break the internet" in the figurative sense, I'd put money on the former.

My guess would maybe there will be a cool musical guest or a few more celebrities than expected. 

Since he said "not an individual recruit and not Tag-Asi", it would thus have to be multi-recruits? Right? On a "break the internet" level? Never say never, but, for this one, I'd say highly unlikely.

But I'd loved to be "surpised. pleased. fascinated", or whatever.
