It's quotes from his mom, so it's somewhat more legit than that. 

 

“He doesn’t know yet and it scares me,” she said. “There are similar points to both schools with little differences. It depends on what’s most important to him and where he wants to go, because I’ve lead him as far as I can.

“He’s stuck right now and I can’t unstick him. That’s something he has to do.”

Same with rivals. Almost every recruitment they proclaim Michigan as a leader. Then a week or two before announcement they say that it's too close to call. Did the same with Walker, Bush and now Gary. Sure some of these kids are undecided, but they roughly have a know where they want to go.

I keep wondering who buys the ESPN subscription? They have no message boards for teams anymore. All of their information is usually just copied from other sides and written into article form. And their rankings are the least referenced when it comes to recruiting. Unless you get one of those deals where you get the ESPN Magazine for like $3 for an entire year, I just don't see why anyone would pay into that ESPN crap. The content is just so bad.

I'm not sure a paywalled article could be considered click-bait.  Assuming the quotes from his mom are not out of context or not made up (It's a TVH article, so I don't think that's the case) it sounds like he's struggling between 2 schools and will make the decision on his own.  Mom seems to indicate at this time that she's stepping back.

I get premium info on NSD when all these guys will be officially on board. No need to pay for anything when it comes to recruiting.

I didn't neg you, by the way.

Read the quote above (posted by MC5-95).  If you're accusing Tom of creating drama where there is none, then you're accusing Gary's mom of doing the same thing.  You have no idea whether Scout knows better.  You just want to believe that.  

I don't know what to think about Gary's recruitment, but it's definitely possible that he's undecided at this point.  I mean, he literally just finished visiting a nice campus near a close relative of a program that was in the national championship game a few weeks ago.

Go right ahead. Go to the one from last game and you'll notice a pattern of posts and what happens AFTER I make those posts in-game. 

It's been working for months and I'm not gonna stop. 

There's a difference between making those posts for a calculated reason and actually believing it. 

I take the opposite approach with Basketball because it works.

Superstitions or patterns, call them whatever you want. It's a crazy person thing. If it ain't broke don't fix it. 

Oh and here we go bringing this shit up again. I've never said the words "I got DB fired" here. Ever. That shit happened almost two years ago.

I don't come on here to fight with people, man. I don't understand why some of you want to.

Have a nice day.

Maybe you should stop, and reflect a little on why so many people "want to fight" you. I assure you there are reasons (note, plural). 

Oh and here we go bringing this shit up again. I've never said the words "I got DB fired" here. Ever. That shit happened almost two years ago.

Think about what is contained in those sentences that could elicit a negative reaction from someone like me, and ask yourself why. Or don't, and this will keep happening weekly in perpetuity.

I don't understand why everyone thinks these decisions are cut and dry.  I've made MANY decisions in my life that were the better of two good options, or the lesser of two bad options.  

When someone commits, they're not 100% something and 0% something else.  If Hill picks MSU over Michigan, he'll likely be 51% MSU and 49% Michigan.  Sometimes when there are many good options, it is EXTREMELY hard to parse out the differences and make a choice.  

People on here act like "this kid should know by now."  No.  That's not how this kind of stuff works.  He's been shown the best that every school has to offer.  Sure we have his friends and coach, but he has other friends at other schools, and may honestly think that there are better options.

Unfortunately, one thing is for sure.  If Michigan has all these built-in advantages and we are in a dogfight, it probably means his heart is somewhere else and his head is telling him Michigan.  That doesn't pan out great for us...

Brian Dohn just posted on there that his mom said "they're unsure" after the Clemson visit.

But two weeks ago she also said that USC was a "game-changer".

The one constant here is Michigan.

Take a look at Rashan's recent twitter follows. Hell, take a look at her recent follows. Not one peep of Clemson. Not one. 

Ballz? Anyone gonna step up and say something? 

What fun would an announcement be if everyone knew? I'm not sure any #1 player in the nation's announcement went like that.

Just sit back and enjoy the WrestleMania of college recruiting.

Holy smokes dude settle down. You're taking this way too personally. Yes, the preponderance of the evidence points toward Michigan, but that's not always how it goes with an emotional decision. Stop acting like this is so cut and dried and anyone suggesting otherwise is being disingenuous.
