'26 VA RB Savion Hiter (Michigan commit)

[therickbol]

When AP says terms like tea leaves read, he’s saying he’s heard something bad but doesn’t want to crap on the kid’s moment. We’ll continue swinging but sounding like Michigan here.

Sims will get some criticism but he’s been an absolute beast on the recruiting trail. Still think he’s been a huge addition to recruiting staff.

With all due respect to anyone who criticizes Sims (or the staff in general), that is ignorant. He is the #1 RB recruit in the country and we had no prior or current built in advantages. Michigan had a head start with some prior relationships. The fact that UT is a major factor going into the decision is a sign of a great recruiting pitch. Criticism here is just plan stupid.

There have been recruits who we had built-in advantages, were not #1 at their position and we did not close on them. Those recruitments could fairly receive criticism.

Calloused Hands says no one actually knows but he repeated the tea leaves thing on the ea show.

Also commented on Darius Gray with even more disappointing news.

Not RC: Looks like 0/2 and really 0/3 until Keys actually flips.

Why’s everyone acting like it’s already been decided? Nobody thought we’d land Moa either

Human nature's defensive mechanism. The same reason you approach a 5 at the bar instead of a 9. They can't allow themselves to have hope and then have it dashed. So they give up before its over.

the Michigan On3 is providing live updates from the commitment

And yet here you are awaiting a 17-18 year olds decision.

Scanning and participating in a free message board is the same as paying someone to give you information that is slanted to best help themselves and their sources??

That's an interesting conclusion.

I just find it funny that @Stoerner Fumbles had to come on here and publicly castrate himself because the family didn’t like information being out there that could ruin Hiter’s moment. Yet, the choice of Michigan has been leaking like a sieve for about a week now, starting with a true freshman declaring Hiter was going to be a Wolverine, and Michigan mods all but guaranteeing a Hiter commitment, and they seem perfectly fine with that lol.

Has this Boy BEEN to Ann Arbor...??!!

probably speaks more to Stoerner's accountability as a person

I’m predicting Tennessee, expecting him to pick meeeechigan seems intentional to setup and “shock the world.” Might be wrong, but ole well

It’s possible they didn’t want “he’s coming to Tennessee” to get out because they knew he ultimately wasn’t going to come here.

Guys, if Hiter says NO to us today it will be ok.
I‘ll be married 48 years in October, being told NO has lost its sting

Very true indeed….

This is why I think he could pick UT. Reports coming out in late July that UT had the momentum then all of a sudden things go quiet in August. Now 24hrs before the announcement the “tea leaves” say Michigan. Feels like a diversion tactic to let the kid have his moment.

Maybe that'll piss them off enough to pick TN lol

Kinda wonder if they did a soft leak to both to see who did and didn't honor their wishes.

Definitely seems that way in hindsight now.

Then if he wanted his moment he could’ve kept that narrative going and “shocked the world” when picking Michigan.

In fairness, those 5s often work pretty hard for you
