Did you get a chance to see the mgoblog thread about OSU's two receiver commits before one of their mods nuked it?

Just lost another 2018 commit today, 3 in a few days. Not great, but meh. It's recruiting. It's odd that it all happened in a span of a few days but kids come and go all the time throughout the recruiting season; especially if they're lower ranked and then start picking up offers. Michigan will still have a great class, though I did enjoy snagging a kid right out of the heart of Georgia.

I'm sure they will, but not because of Ohio State being dumbasses like Michigan.
It is pretty silly to send a thank you card with a misspelled name on it....but most people would get that and think some intern just had a typo. Other than saying, "Hey, can we send out some thank you letters" I don't think Harbaugh had anything to do with it.

Harbaugh probably didn't directly send the letter, but whoever did is associated with the football program, which Harbaugh is the leader of. All comes back to him.

You mean in the same way the fact that 6 ND players were arrested last week all comes back to Kelly? Way to man-up!

Sure, but it's a simple mistake. A former player tweeted this out yesterday from Wisconsin back in the 90's when they were recruiting him:

Again, probably just a clerical error. They probably had a list of kids they expected, already had this set up to send them thank you letters and not sending this kid a letter was just missed, and double bad because they spelled his name wrong. I'm not saying it's wasn't stupid that this wasn't caught by someone, but it's pretty silly to be that upset about in the long run. That's like going to a school because they have a basketball player on the uniform, that would be a dumb way to choose a college.

Totally different eras. Kids these days, especially top 75 kids, are huge divas. I think it's dumb that the kid would decommit based on this, but thats how kids are these days.

That's because 20 years ago, teenagers, fuck it, everybody, had thicker skin than they do nowadays.

When you live in a society and especially when you are raised in a society full of people just looking for something to be offended by...

young people will find any small slight or clerical error as a reason to go full-blown offended and do something like decommit or quit a job or some such.

Spoiled entitled ass millennials can't be expected not to be offended by this.

It's the only thing they know how to be.
