Zettel reaffirms commitment per Pennlive
I know, I know, he's not coming, but I'm holding out just a little bit of unrealistic hope that he decides on a last-minute switch (I know, I know). I came across this and I'm only posting it because it stated Hoke has been after him. These are the only tidbits about him, but here's the link:

New Michigan coach Brady Hoke is pursuing PSU verbal Anthony Zettel, a 6-4, 255-pounder from Michigan who commited to the Lions in late December. Zettel, who is a defensive line prospect, told Sean Fitz of Lions247.com, a Penn State football recruiting website, he will be wearing the Blue and White. “Michigan is after him but when I talked to [Zettel] recently he was adamant about coming to Penn State,” Fitz said.

Too bad the upvotes don't count for anything yet, because you will earn everyone you get for this masterpiece that is in the same lineage of the Van Gogh, Picasso, and Michaelangelos of this fine planet.

Blogosphere respect trumps the upvote every time.

and when your sorry ass DC finally gets a job and JoePa retires you will have had an awesome time being irrelevant.

I would have liked to see him at M, but at the end of the day, the kid is making a life decision, and it has to be one that he is happy with.
But, when people talk about whether or not DB's time frame for the CC affected recruiting, in my opinion this is one player to whom we can point as a concrete example. He was leaning blue, and had we gotten Hoke on board since December, we could have had this 4* playing for M, not a direct rival.
Oh, well. Best of luck to him, and I hope that he is on the losing side of the rivalry for the next 4 years.
January 29th, 2011 at 11:15 PM ^
...you're saying there's a chance?
January 29th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
Too bad he and Dee didn't have the courage to live their childhood dreams and play for Michigan. No hart (no pun intended)...
January 29th, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^

From what i've been told there actually is a chance. This recruitment is a bit more complicated than the simple coach-commit relationship. There are multiple people involved, all with various motives. And, as a a result, Michigan isn't completely out of it.
January 30th, 2011 at 9:27 AM ^
sorry to ask, but who told you this? BKFinest? If not, please reveal your source, and why you think its a good one.
January 30th, 2011 at 10:04 AM ^
Sam Webb said on the radio this morning, and that UM tried to get back in, and Anthony was warming up to it briefly, but in the end decided to stick with PSU.
January 30th, 2011 at 1:01 PM ^
Good to know. I just heard that a few days ago so things could've changed in the last 48 hours
January 30th, 2011 at 10:14 AM ^
I can almost understand Fisher going to Oregon, but Zettel to Penn State? That would be like accepting a job in the Egyptian Ministry of Interior today. Pretty good chance that there will be a major shake-up coming soon....

indicated he simply liked Penn State a lot. I didn't get the sense he committed to them simply because they were a safety valve.
It's certainly disappointing, but given how many visits he'd taken formally and informally to UM, how much he knew about us, and still didn't commit, it was no surprise to me he went elsewhere. That's going to happen in recruiting—we get guys all the time who state that they just love AA, the campus, UM, the program, etc., so we shouldn't be surprised when the committment is on the other foot, so to speak.
