NJ WR Bo Melton Takes Jab at Coach Harbaugh After Committing to Rutgers

Submitted by FauxMo on April 18th, 2016 at 8:04 PM

After committing to Rutgers over a bunch of other schools, he posted a pic on Twitter of him on a fictional magazine cover with the caption: "Message to Michigan: Sorry Coach Harbaugh, I don't follow, I lead."

I wonder if Coach Harbaugh will ever be able to recover from this kind of verbal assault from an 18 year old who has chosen to win 9 games total over his 4 year college career at the worst team in the Big Ten?

The graphic is clearly created by Rutgers and given to the kid as a recruiting tool. Michigan does photoshop jobs like this all the time

There was a great graphic earlier this year, prior to signing day, with the top 10 recruits in NJ. I think 6 were committed to Michigan, 2 or 3 to MSU, one to a Tennessee and the uncommitted one was Rashan Gary. Lol

My favorite part is the Rutgers fans in the comments talking trash like Chris Ash is suddenly going to voodoo everyone in New Jersey into forgetting that Rutgers is Rutgers

Can't blame the kid. This is his one relevant moment. He won't get much attention while winning 4 games a year at Rutgers.

It's only going to be interesting for the first half until we are up by 24 going into the locker room. Then Rutgers will Rutger and celebrate heading into the tunnel.

Does he not know WE ARE THE LEADERS AND THE BEST?!? Maybe Rutgers can write a new fight song and call themselves the Followers of the Rest.

If you want to play for 7-5 teams at best and get your ass whipped by Michigan every year then that's your business.

Unless that kids real first name is Glenn, his possible associations with MICHIGAN end there.

I like how they just list a bunch of random star athletes on the cover. What a bush league edit from a bush league program.

I don't get it. Why? I've never heard of this guy; what's his beef? Also, this is hilarious. It's like floor slapping when you're down by 10 points...except that Rutgers isn't favored to win anything ever.

That'd be a recruiting violation. Unless by "Rutgers," you mean some random ass Rutgers fan. At which point you have to figure they should probably start with smack talking the Purdue's of the conference before talking to Michigan. I mean I'll see your Melton and raise you one Rashan Gary. That still leaves a lot of top NJ prospects not named.

Did he forget he committed to Rutgers? I hope peppers stays one more year just to blow this kid up on a screen.

Good for him? I don't really get this, was he not offered a scholarship by Michigan, and this is a way to put a chip on his shoulder?

Anyway, have a fun 4yrs of irrelevance.

We actually just talked about it for about two minutes on "Wolverine Wanderings" - I really don't get it either, but it is interesting to see some small backlash, if that is what it is, from within the state of New Jersey. I very much doubt this changes things, but the statement was amusing. Part of the reason that it was amusing, of course, is that leading at Rutgers has the implication of a glorious 7-5 campaign....someday.
