@AA1879 yeah because there are a ton of William Campbells in the directory (3) and he just happened to pop up at the exact same time as other early enrollee’s… Coincidence that a William Campbell would transfer the same day as an early enrollee football player… I’m going to say is 0%…

His mom didn’t go with him on any of his visits… While I’m pessimistic now about Will I’m not completely “OMG THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END” like some of you… Get a grip

Another previous commit going somewhere else. I’m getting an uneasy feeling.

…At least there is basketball.

So Bob is talking about a random kid named William Campbell and asking vblue if he thinks the random kid is enrolled? Sorry I didnt pick that up the first time… no I think Bob is asking vblue if he thinks William Campbell is not enrolled and in asking is basically calling William Campbell a liar. Why isn’t he taking Will at his word? Will said he didn’t want to come here. Why not believe the words out of his mouth rather than some unique name entry? End.

AA1879, Bob’s comment was a reference to the recent post about somebody named “William Campbell” having enrolled at UM for the winter semester. It has nothing to do with “tak[ing] Will at his word.”

Lol… good one. I think this recruiting year has mostly been one big balut sandwich, served with a side of raw stinky tofu and haggis for dessert.

For the record Santoro, it tastes like Balut.

Maybe if everyone would have just backed off him a little, we would not be sitting here guessing if he is shooting straight. The kid deserves his chance to be in the spotlight, because it is one that we have created through our endless need to know everything. Leave this be, and let the kid decide. Best of luck to him wherever he goes. He seems like a good kid.

Sorry Vblue, that was aimed at Bob.

I just dont like to see people say “Oh he is just messing with us. He is a jokester! That crazy Will.”

If he says he doesn’t want to be here then he doesn’t want to be here. Don’t set yourself up for a letdown.

When did I say I’m not taking him at his word?

Why not take Will at his word? He said he wanted to leave Michigan… if I said I wanted to leave Michigan wouldn’t you likely believe me? After all you know me as well as you know Will. I for one, think he is going to go south, you know, because he said he was going to.

Bob — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:23:14 +0000

So I assume you don’t think he is enrolled at Michigan?
