Dorsey said that he was not there due to his passport being old and thusly he wouldn't have been able to board the flight. Which sounds odd, but that's what he said.

Nope. More disasters on the LB recruiting trail.

on rivals UM site, Josh H. talked to Hill's grandmother and she said Hill is back in school, so he must not have visited UM on the way back.

You people need to settle down when it comes to recruiting. Be rational. For some creepy reason I find the decisions of 18 year olds exciting too, but that doesn't mean I"m going to go out say stupid **** like "should be commiting" simply b/c we were his only visit. Be careful what you say, people on here think you actually know something and get their hopes up.

from the MOD on UM rivals, hill did NOT visit UM.

Maybe the guy on recruitingplanet got Michigan and Michigan State mixed up.

Surely constructs/punctuates sentences like a downriver scUMmer! Way to display your ignorance and/or stupidity on a public forum!

Honest question - had he visited WVU before committing to Rodriguez the first time around?

I'll wait until they check back at recruiting/buckeye planet. They are in tune with what is going on with kids in Ohio for the most part.

Those Ohio State fans are actually smart. They love Dantonio too.

How long did it take RRod to bolt on Taylor Hill after Hill gave RRod a verbal in Morgantown? About one day? Hopefully this guy can see through the non-sense and becomes a

THAT would be great

It just wouldn't make sense for him to commit to um: already have 4+ lbs committed, all are highly ranked, has not visited, that is not a stable program yet, etc. All his quotes the last week or two said he wanted a stable program, good academics, coaches, etc. Playing time and stable program were most important. Now the thing with him and WVA would come into consideration if he were to visit UM as he seemed to like RR. But, we all know kids do crazy things and do not make sense all the time. So, we will see.

Probably didn't give a phone call to Hill like he did Pryor either. Let's hope Hill wants some pay back and comes here to dole it out

i believe before he committed to OU origionally he did, but am not 100% sure on that.

In the last update it said that he had, albeit unofficially.

Well, seems to me that with the news that he wasn't getting back home until today, it is very possible that he stopped in AA "unofficially." Wait and see, I guess.

It just sounds like a way that only we would get screwed.

yeah, I'll second that. But, he just didn't have time if he was already back in school today. I replied to the post on recruiting planet and we will have to see what he says.

“I went up there and visited during my spring break. It was a last minute thing. Me, my coach and my brother were taking a trip up there just to see Michigan State and Notre Dame and [Michigan] called and wanted me to stop by,” Hart said. “We had a meeting with Coach Carr and that is when he offered me.”

mandarich · 01-14-2008, 04:23 PM

Nothing much on buckeyeplanet re: Hill just that it sounds a bit out of left field that he verbaled to scuM.

nicho197 · 01-14-2008, 04:25 PM

yeah well, that is POS mike hart...hopefully Hill is not the same type of person!

nicho197 · 01-14-2008, 04:32 PM

on michigan scout there are posts about a new commit, could be hill. Wouldn't be surprised as it is on more than one site now. But, if this is confirmed, does this pretty much eliminate Perry? Unless he wants to play strictly DL.

Gods03 · 01-14-2008, 04:36 PM

I wonder if Fitzgerald sold him on scUM this weekend???

Yeah, looks like Hill is a Wolverine. Major dissapointment for Coach D. To have a kid committ to scUM the same weekend he makes an official visit to MSU? Not something that happens to good recruiters....Makes me a little weary of our coaches recruiting ability. I love

and I know that he is our guy, but this is troubling.

Sonny SixKill · 01-14-2008, 04:36 PM

It must have been the dorm food at AA that sold him

mandarich · 01-14-2008, 04:36 PM

I saw the same thing on the Wolverine Scout site. Hopefully their sources about Hill to U of M are the same ones which reported that LB Dion Guy was a MSU soft verbal.
