Exit: Jordan Elliott Comment Count

Seth

Oh right, we should report this. In least surprising decommitments not involving Penn State recruits whom Michigan leads for:

Decommit = exit post but this one's been heading that way for several weeks. It does make that weird exchange with a Texas247 guy who wouldn't believe his Michigan commitment even weirder.

FWIW this one is more Antwaine Richardson than Rashad Weaver: the coaches wanted him in the class, as evidenced by Harbaugh flying in for an in-home visit a week ago. Elliott is expected to visit and commit to Texas this weekend, the fourth (and presumably last) school he has committed to during the process.

Take as further evidence that "commitment" can mean vastly different things to different people, and that it is foolish to presume another party has the same meaning as you. This is also the flipside to continuing to recruit a nominally filled position in the class; Elliott made comments to Sam Webb ($) in November that made it seem like he was certain to stick. With no 2015 NT and just Mone and Pallante left after Glasgow graduates, Michigan badly needed at least one and hopefully two nose tackles in this class. If they'd stopped with Elliott they'd be in a bad spot right now.

The Michigan coaches moved on last week, securing a commitment from former PSU commit Michael Dwumfour; they remain in pursuit of another NT type in Californian Boss Tagaloa.

Crutin.

I love the irony of a kid not upholding his commit four times now and not get any scrutiny. But UM rescinds an offer that everyone close knew was a long time coming gets shat on for integrity. Anyways, as other mentioned, he's a Chris Clark, I'm okay with him not being on the team since he's not die-hard blue. Good riddance.

Little brother is little brother forever. It really doesn't need to keep talking about them unless you feel the hurt they'v punched you in the last several years. And now and the future, all you need to do is defeat them on the field and then leave them cry alone.

It really doesn't deserve to talk about them. Think big, dream big and do big to make a big Michigan Difference. 

The culture needs to be changed.

Fire UP!

Championships are won in the trenches, so this loss blows. The thought of him, and Gary together, really made me salivate.

The 2016 DL should be the best we have had in some time. Hopefully Harbaugh can lock down at least 3 interior DL in the 2017 cycle.
