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.

I'm really wondering why they couldn't have found a tripod anywhere. or better lighting.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:19 PM ^
Soooo he's not going to USC...or Michigan...this cat is crazy. I love it.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:19 PM ^
I have a sneaking suspicion that we might be seeing these every little while tonight until he's roasted all of his prospective schools.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:19 PM ^
maybe he's just practicing his speech?? I find it funny either way.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:22 PM ^
I think this is absolutely hilarious.
I wish him the best of luck wherever he goes - I'll be watching.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:32 PM ^
"I'll be watching"
Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:22 PM ^
He spins my head right round, right round.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
Im expecting 12 hat changes tomorrow at the real deal.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:29 PM ^
What will he say in his State video? That he loves wearing ski-masks? Or playing in front of empty stands when their team is having the best season in forever? Will he love the Dantonio 3rd or 4th chance "no tolerance" rule? All the right reasons??
November 9th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
because the empty stands will really allow me to bring my whole family to all the games. plus my whole graduating class....and my brothers graduating class. we're all big subway fans, so we'll be getting 2-for-1 too. can't beat that. go green!"
November 9th, 2010 at 8:29 PM ^
Hopefully it isn't that the last school he makes a video for is the real pick.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
That before this past weekend nobody was even thinking about Arnett possibly being an option and after his decision tomorrow some will have a minor meltdown when he decides to go somewhere other than Michigan. I for one am hoping Michigan can pull past Clemson for Watkins services. Arnett has as much as talent as anyone but as Magnus eluded to I'd rather have a kid whose character gets talked about in a positive light as much as his skillset.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
alluded to.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
I think it is hilarious as well... though I wish the second twitvid would stop getting posted; i'm tired of watching the 30 second commercial, only to discover I've already watched the vid! Guy is comical for sure.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:36 PM ^
November 9th, 2010 at 8:39 PM ^
Thanks for the tip!
November 9th, 2010 at 8:32 PM ^
Personally, I think this is hilarious.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:34 PM ^
I think this is just a high school kid showing how messed up it is for a bunch of adults to be on message boards following high school kids lives like this late at night. He is going to make a lot of guys look inside, when they watch these films. Do you not feel ridiculous getting sucked into some HS kid's prank?
November 9th, 2010 at 8:34 PM ^
Mr. Arnett, I beg of you: get out every single article of collegiate clothing you have and commit to it!
Anything!
University of Paris Sorbonne.
Northern Colorado School for Mimes
Glue bad logos on plain sweatshirts if you have to. This is has the potential to be truly epic.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:01 PM ^
Like Otis Sistrunk's alma mater: the University of Mars!
November 9th, 2010 at 10:24 PM ^
or Central Michigan University.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:35 PM ^
see what he did there
November 9th, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
based on speculations.
He needs to come to our School of Business and major in advertising... could play a bit of ball while he's here too.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
Dee this is hilarious 1st vid has over 3000 hits already.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
Too funny regardless of where he goes. "Wow...this is huge, who could it be?! He's picking up some object?..."
November 9th, 2010 at 8:45 PM ^
this is the order of schools from 5th to 1st,sorry fans.But we all knew he wasn't picking Michigan.Sammy Watkins is still out there.Go Blue
November 9th, 2010 at 8:45 PM ^
Ahaha. I justw atched the Michigan video, and it was hilarious. What's odd about this one, tohugh, he seems to be alot more serious about his commitment to Michigan though. We'll see how that goes though, I'm waiting for the next video.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:48 PM ^
Why do I feel like I am the only one who finds this kid rather self centered?
November 9th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
November 9th, 2010 at 9:08 PM ^
but there is nothing we can do about, so enjoy.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
hey does anyone know if this is the same mich gear that he wore to the game on saturday? I remember seeing that picture of him at the big house, but if he is wearing different michigan gear then maybe that means he legit went out of his way to get it for an announcement? possibly?
November 9th, 2010 at 8:55 PM ^
I think thats a bit far fetched to look for hope. Just blow this off as some kid joking and wait until signing day. You won't know anything until then anyway.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:53 PM ^
that he's Sparty bound.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:57 PM ^
HA! Is he punking Rountree too? Roy just welcomed him to the family via twitter.
Edit: He took it down. So Roy either realized he was punked, or DA told him to not let the cat out of the bag. Hilarious either way.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
I actually still see Roy's twitter post.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:03 PM ^
Ahh it vanished for me.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:13 PM ^
I hope he didn't suffer a "ruh roh" moment ...
November 9th, 2010 at 9:30 PM ^
You sir, are hilarious.
November 9th, 2010 at 8:57 PM ^
I don't mean to get OT, but this is what I was mentioning in a previous post: this thread has provided a lot of (useless) information, discussion, and positive utility, and no one has given the OP a +1. Meanwhile, a couple snarky comments (deservedly) got pos banged. The least we can do for the OP's trouble of posting this info is give him a couple more points!

Still no new vids, wonder if this one will stick?
November 9th, 2010 at 9:18 PM ^
a whole 17 minutes since his last tweet. He's clearly in the process of making it right now.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:23 PM ^
I think Roy know's that it's all in fun, and decided he would just let him know that one of of the leaders of our receiving corp would be happy to bring him on if he does choose to be all in.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:23 PM ^
November 9th, 2010 at 9:24 PM ^
next video being processed: http://www.twitvid.com/RKBN8
November 9th, 2010 at 9:25 PM ^
Because he has downloaded "The Victors" to his phone. The long version.
He is blue through and through, and he could never bid Michigan adieu.
November 9th, 2010 at 9:30 PM ^
If he's not going to MSU, look forward to a ski mask video with a simulated gang war.
That would be hilarious!
Or one with a 300 meme!
