What happened?

I just caught the video the UGA fan made for a recruit. And I'm not sure what's creepier fans tweeting g recruits or making them videos Leave the recruiting to the coaches smh

The USC recruiting circuits im following are all calling Michigan. They have beenspit on so far. Including the tui flip well before it happened. Between the visit from harbaugh where the hit the gocarts. And Somins recent comments. I think he's choosing UM

In order to appease Aubrey Solomon and his mother, I wonder if Harbaugh fired the staffer who made the thank-you card boo-boo in August. That would suck if someone lost their job for a silly mistake that got Solomon so bent out of shape that he decommitted from Michigan in August.

Aubrey Solomon decommits from Michigan after 'heartbreaking' note

I would question Solomon's strength of character for getting so upset at such a dorky mistake by a Michigan staffer.

I agree mistakes happen.Theres been some questions regarding his character. From what I've been reading its looking like he's between Michigan,Alabama and an outside shot of USC. But the signs seem to give the indication it may be Michigan. The pieces in that article about academics. Seem to also match his most recent statements. My guess is still UM for Solomon.

I'm also not so sure about Wilson from what I've seen on his twitter. He kind of comes across as a me guy that needs a ton of attention.

Badgers RB Johnathan Taylor (2017 class) achieved a final ranking of 13th ranked RB. He's the fastest RB in the country with a 4.42 40 time and 10.55 100 meter dash. The funny thing is the scouting report on him says that everything is elite but must work on his break away speed. LOL if that's the case this guy might go down as the best RB of all time. lol, behind that Badger O-line I can see him breaking all the NCAA records including TD's, yards, YPC, etc. If you thought Melvin Gordon was a beast then brace yourselves.

Odd one. I did not see that coming. I saw Urban visited, but I never thought OSU would offer..

From what I understand Kevin Wilson wanted him at Indiana, so I'd assume he made the push for Urban to offer.

Wondering if they see him as that TE/WR type. He has the height for TE. Not quite the speed to play outside. (I am not buying that self-reported 4.3)

I think he's got decent speed for a guy his height, from his film, he's definitely not a stiff. (Yea the 4.3 is BS though lol)

Doubt he moves to TE, we have 5 TEs on Scholarship next year and only 1 is above a SO.

Be careful, that is a pretty weak district.

True. I guess we will see, I can't find much of a non-biased scouting report on him. I doubt Meyer and Co would extend a offer unless they saw something redeemable though.

He may not be 4.3, but he definitely moves well for 6'5". He won't play TE anyhow, he's only 185. He's yet another tree for us to use in the RZ, at the very least.

If he had 4.3 speed, he would be atleast on par with Bama's recruit Tyrell Shavers which I think is BS also.

Speaking of Bama they just lost a 4 star DL due to "academic ineligibility ". A Push for Solomon?

That was well known weeks ago.

That is why I am interested. Texas offered him and fans weren't happy. One of 9.95ers called him Herman's worst offer. So I am wondering what guys like Meyer and Herman see. I know I am an Internet scouting expert, but those guys may see something I dont. Kid has piqued my interest

Same one? The link I just got was dated today
Alabama loses a 4-star commit as DT Akial Byers fails to qualify

Herman is more air raid than Meyer. Wilson. Is the same. Herman likes those tweener kids. Not big enough to block a DE. Not fast enough to play outside. Big enough to push DBs around though and fast enough to punish LBs in space

My guess is potential based on size and ability that they can make out, be it against weaker competition. Meyer definitely has not been one to just throw out commit-able offers during his time at Ohio State

Shaver is a legit 4.4 guy. I am not sure he is one of the best 5 WRs in Texas right now, but damn does he have a high ceiling. He is raw, but if he develops to his potential he is a top 10 pick
