Arnett Using Commitment Eve to Commit to...All of Them?
Ed-M: Six! Six fake commits ah ah ah. Sorry for hijacking this thread, but it's too entertaining not to have it all in one place.
For those just joining us, 4-star WR DeAnthony Arnett has a press conference tomorrow night to announce his school choice. In the meantime, he is having a bit of fun at the expense of fans who follow this stuff way too closely.
Look in the mirror, then look here.
Wherever DeAnthony commits, I give him credit -- this is one of the best roasts of the recruiting nutters that I've ever seen....
He's picking USC:
Wait, no, it's Michigan:
Just kiddin, M. It's Central Michigan:
Aw Hell, It's Tennessee:
]
And...it's Slippery Rock...wait no the 'University of Michigan State':
No no no it's "The University of Cal" (last one):
And then the respective online fanbases get the screen turned around on them.
Thank you DeAnthony and brotherguy for a hilarious night. [/takeover]

Not sure if this is him being serious, or him messing around with everyones head again. Take it for what it's worth.

Goin for the women...gotta be legit... This seems like the real deal to me tho...unless he likes fuckin with people.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:40 PM ^
I couldn't get sound while at work, but for those who couldn't click the link, in the video it appears he's sitting in his living room and eventually dons a USC hat.
The title of the video is "Sorry I couldnt wait for 2moro I want to thank all coaches for offering me! My skool is...."
November 9th, 2010 at 8:14 PM ^
Can we all freak out and hope this one is real now?!
I hope someone starts a new topic on the board "ARNETT JUST COMMITED TO MICHIGAN OMFGZ"
November 9th, 2010 at 8:20 PM ^
video has legitimate reasons. Lane Kiffin best Coach ever?!?!??? LOLZ. Denard winning the heisman? Possible. Devin Garder being good friends with him? Guy is having fun with the process and I say more power to him. At least he's taken his time, taken his visits and at least it sounds like he's really considered the diff aspects of each college.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:32 PM ^
officially "one upped" the Otter in the recruiting hijinks department. Funny stuff. Good luck where ever you end up, DeAnthony.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:16 PM ^
He's making fun of us all. Nothing wrong with a little humor
November 9th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
Fuck us.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:32 PM ^
The Michigan video is 2:47, how many yards did Roundtree go for this weekend? 246.
Very telling.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:12 PM ^
I just laughed out loud at those.who.stay's response and profitgowife asked what I was laughing about. I told her I was laughing at "the blog" and she just sighed and went back to whatever the f- she is doing. Hahaha.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:33 PM ^
hahahahah, yeah my Wife sighs at the mere mention of this blog too. I assume there are a lot of Wives who have a negaive opinion of MgoBlog.......good news for them, www.mgowife.com is currently available to host a wife support blog.

I throw Twilight i her face and she shyts up. she knows it sucks, but can't help herself.
November 9th, 2010 at 10:12 PM ^
Definitely agree. He's having fun with the process and the recruitment obsession. I think this whole thing has been great, having a sense of humor is a sign of intelligence. He would be a great fit at Michigan. I hope he chooses us, but we'll see, when tomorrow comes.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:25 PM ^
I thought he had a lighter and started burning something off-camera. I really wanted him to put the ohio state sweatshirt back into the frame with a flame engulfing it. That would have been awesome. Maybe he was trying to light it and it didn't work, which I'm assuming would happen since sweatshirts probably don't burn too easily.
November 9th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
He and Dee would love each other.
November 9th, 2010 at 10:30 PM ^
He is having A LOT of fun with this process. Hey, why not. I wish I was a big time recruit and could hog some spotlight for a while.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:51 PM ^
Maybe I missed it, but did he do a video for each of his top 5 except MSU???
Edit: ok, they just posted the MSU one in page 6 of this thread... it did look more legit than the other ones IMO... ughh
November 9th, 2010 at 7:35 PM ^
Could be an old video that just got posted and it could be him messing with everyone.
We'll just have to wait until tomorrow to see.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:54 PM ^
Where is TomVH? We need him to dispute this.
Someone put up the TomVH Bat-Signal
November 9th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
just turned on the block M spotlight! he might have trouble seeing it arizona... :(
November 9th, 2010 at 7:36 PM ^
Who was the guy "interviewing" him in the video? Mike Garrett?
November 9th, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
Pretty sure that it's his brother
November 9th, 2010 at 7:37 PM ^
Please be joking.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
Recruiting, win some and lose some. Can't dwell on it.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:37 PM ^
I love this kid!
November 9th, 2010 at 7:38 PM ^
I think he's just setting up to announce Tennessee tomorrow. It would pain Volunteer fans so much if he went to USC. I dont think he could rip their hearts out twice?
November 9th, 2010 at 7:41 PM ^
I like this idea. Mocking Lane Kiffin in the video equates to throwing a bone to UT fans.
This whole thing is a big goofy puzzle. Fun to watch it play out in the final week.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
I thought I read that he was scheduled to go to UT this coming weekend, but then canceled. That doesn't sound like a good sign for UT (if this is true).
November 9th, 2010 at 8:32 PM ^
That's what he said on his twitter.
"Let me repeat 3 times I will not be going anywhere this weekend at all I'm staying in Saginaw Michigan no official this week"
November 9th, 2010 at 7:38 PM ^
I am now 100% sure he is not going to USC.
November 9th, 2010 at 11:52 PM ^
other than Lane, who likes probation, anyway?
November 9th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
That doesn't seem recent.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
Not sayin he's coming to UM, but that vid seems like a show.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:39 PM ^
The only thing that makes me suspicious is comparing Lane Kiffin to Jimmy Johnson. But who knows
November 9th, 2010 at 7:53 PM ^
Pretty over-the-top re Kiffin being "greatest coach of all time." Didn't this guy previously use Twitter to say he was visiting Boise State when he was, in fact, in Ann Arbor? Looks like a kid just having some fun to me.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:40 PM ^
I'm waiting for the videos of him committing to MSU, UT, Michigan, and Cal to pop up now. This strikes me over the head as a joke. He's having a hell of a good time with the process.
I don't think the video is a good sign for USC. He and his brother (?) are pretty clearly making fun of Lane Kiffin.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:44 PM ^
If they are NOT making fun of Lane and he is indeed going to USC then I think it's safe to say academics would've presented a challenge to him here.
I think he's probably the first person to use the words "Lane Kiffin" and "greatest coaches of all time" in the same sentence.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:50 PM ^
At least when not separated by the words "is clearly not one of the"
November 9th, 2010 at 7:55 PM ^
"I'm waiting for the videos of him committing to MSU, UT, Michigan, and Cal to pop up now."
This is exactly what popped into my head after seeing this. How can anyone watching this not realize it is a joke?
November 9th, 2010 at 8:14 PM ^
wait no more.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:40 PM ^
Saying that Lane Kiffin is one of the greatest coaches of all time makes me think this is one big joke.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:42 PM ^
messing about the Tide.
Seems to be a new trend amongst recruits to be a joker. Big Will's fake towards the LSU hat during his process was scary as hell too :(
Off topic - should I be concerned that Arnett does not have dreadlocks?
November 9th, 2010 at 9:34 PM ^
But Big Will made it very clear that he won't play for a man who eats grass
November 9th, 2010 at 7:43 PM ^
"twitvid"
??????????????????
November 9th, 2010 at 7:46 PM ^
Video from Twitter.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:47 PM ^
Yes. Twitter has video now (and it's not a dirty website). Welcome to the internets.
November 9th, 2010 at 7:52 PM ^
The same cannot be said of the similarly named twatvid.com. Choose your vowels carefully.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
You just got a +1 from a girl for that. Laugh Out Loud funny.
November 9th, 2010 at 10:46 PM ^
You know there's that one guy who actually went to that website after you posted that.
