Edit: For those who are having trouble accessing the previous thread, Aubrey was caught on another recruit's periscope saying "F*** Michigan" and expressing bitterness about the staff getting his name wrong (among other less than flattering comments).

For all we know, his parents may have forced him to write this apology. Lot's of bad people are briefly contrite after they've gotten caught. This is not to say that he is a bad person -- I wouldn't know. I'm just saying that lots of horrible people apologize when caught and go on being horrible afterwards. I think it will be interesting to see if JH drops his pursuit. If we continue pursuing him, maybe that means he is not such a bad guy but just immature. If we drop him, it probably means Jim H thinks he's a bad character. Along those lines, I wonder if he has called Harbaugh and apologized to him.

Isn't that what a parent is supposed to do? When your kid screws up you point out what the mistake was and to stand up for that mistake. Good for them. Teachable moment. Move on.
January 5th, 2017 at 1:09 PM ^
Absolutely. I'm just saying that without knowing the context, the apology doesn't give us grounds to know that he really is ashamed of what he did and genuinely contrite. But, yes, I agree and I did not mean to seem critical if in fact his parents pressured him to apologize.

I like your line of thinking, but I think Audrey already dropped us awhile ago.

said that he drinks 1% Milk and that Spongebob is lazy.
It was pretty offensive stuff.

Stay where they know your name son. It's fine.

OK.
Make it up to us by committing here.
Bygones.

I love the University of Michigan and everything it has to offer beyond football
Dude, you just said "fuck Michigan". Not sure Harbaugh will be very forgiving.
January 5th, 2017 at 9:45 AM ^
January 5th, 2017 at 9:46 AM ^
I don't know... Harbaugh said some unflattering things about Michigan and all has been forgiven... so if anyone understands.
January 5th, 2017 at 9:52 AM ^
There is unflattering, and there is actually saying "fuck Michigan". I would say those are pretty different.
Honestly, I have done and said some seriously stupid shit. As others have stated, I cannot imagine having all of my dumbest moments captured on social media.
January 5th, 2017 at 10:18 AM ^
Yeah but there is also a difference between 18 years old and 50-something years old.
Doubt the kid hates Michigan, but it's pretty obvious they aren't his first choice. Good luck to him. Moving on.

has never said fuck Michigan not even in his sleep, this will not sit well with him at all. His recruitment is over. Sucks but, I am willing to bet every team in college football has had something like this happen to them.
I believe he has not concidered Michigan again after his original decomittment and we were never going to be anything other than another hat on the table from that point forward. Good luck to him and lets get another DL front and center and not spend another second on him from this point forward. Go Blue!
January 5th, 2017 at 10:21 AM ^
euphemistically said "F Michigan" a few times when he was in his 40's.
January 5th, 2017 at 10:43 AM ^
because he just took the excitement out of his committment ceremony??
January 5th, 2017 at 9:41 AM ^
OP, I'm going to assume you're being sly with the misspelling, but given the sensitivity of one Aubrey Solomon to incorrect spelling of his name... don't be a jerk.
January 5th, 2017 at 9:43 AM ^
Nope, honest mistake.
Very ironic, honest mistake.
Oops!
January 5th, 2017 at 9:47 AM ^
Or perhaps a free ride when you're already late to your rainy wedding.
Or perhaps none of these. Which in and of itself... wait a minute... head spinning...
January 5th, 2017 at 9:49 AM ^
I still need that knife....
January 5th, 2017 at 9:58 AM ^
I have a bunch of spoons...
January 5th, 2017 at 10:51 AM ^
Rain on your wedding day is actually supposed to be good luck.
January 5th, 2017 at 9:44 AM ^
It would be unfair to Audrey to spell his name wrong after he told us to collectively be fucked.
January 5th, 2017 at 10:02 AM ^
because we're not collectively six years old, and UofM isn't collectively Burns Park Elementary School. NTTAWTT.

Your actions reflect who you are as a person... don't try to pretend they don't.

I ran the naked mile a couple of times in college. One year some friends (who I didn't know when I ran) were looking through their photos of the naked mile and there was a picture of me. ...from the waist up.
It was snowing when I ran....

He's a kid who got embarrassed and did the right thing by apologizing.
That said, deeds is words, let's not expect him to show up here.
January 5th, 2017 at 9:57 AM ^
The biggest favor he could do for us and himself is to publically say:
"I have the greatest respect for the University of Michigan and the Michigan coaching staff, players, and fans.
That being said, I am no longer considering playing there and I will not keep stringing them along. It would be for the best if we both moved on from here."
January 5th, 2017 at 10:12 AM ^
January 5th, 2017 at 10:15 AM ^
It does now.
January 5th, 2017 at 9:42 AM ^
Did he forget the State after Michigan ?
January 5th, 2017 at 9:43 AM ^
Kids not Michigan material!!!! ... unless he commits to Michigan, in which case, we're totally cool and he's totally Michigan material.
January 5th, 2017 at 10:45 AM ^
This so much.
The holier than though attitude among some of our fan base towards a teenager is beyond the pale. He felt disrespected obviously - rightly or wrongly. He was among peers. People act like kids talk like angels. He lashed out, talked smack. This is Trump's so called "locker room talk". He obviously is not coming here.
But that said 95% of those who simply CANNOT GET PAST THIS DISKRESPEKTFUL comment would embrace him instantly if he committed this afternoon and say "ACTIONS MEAN MORE THAN WORDS, HARBAUGH WILL FIX HIM. LEARNING EXPERIENCE. GOOD ON YOU BUDDY!!"

That periscope video was by former Michigan commit Jeremiah Holloman, correct?

Son, it's time to just pick a school and move on with your life. You don't need all this drama before you've ever even stepped foot on a campus. It's not a good look.
