Nothing will come of this, but a tweet 'mentioning' (i.e. directing their message) toward a recruit is a personal message.

Unless they have a prior relationship, which they do. Also, in his quest to desperately take down Michigan, he pretty much exposed that OSU did the same thing when Travis Howard tweeted Burrows and some other recruit. What an idiot.

No link, just an observation after following his recruitment. He rarely mentions Florida without referencing Urban.

He was at OSU for junior day in January and is coming back in a couple weeks. Says he wants to decide this spring/summer. Oh, and as ridiculous as it may sound, his twitter avatar is him posing with Urban with National Championship rings on.

No it is not, If I said I like the car you drive on here, everyone can read it so there for is not personal. now If I send it to you as a PM then yes it would be. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Personal+message

It was a Tweet for any follower to read, not an Email to the kid from a player.

Disagree. The second you @ (akak "mention") someone in a Tweet, you are asking that person to ready your message. If he wasn't, he would have simply stated the recruits name without a mention (i.e., "@")

OK I really want to meet Lebron James, I hope he receives this personal message and we can get together really soon.

LB Shane Jones is no longer visiting this weekend. Shane gave the same reason Anzalone did, that the coaches say the position is full.

You must not understand twitter. And that's fine, but your analogies are incorrect.

No shock here. But wonder what that does for Isaac.

I have a feeling this means Isaac will be heading elsewhere. I think Hoke is switching approaches since waiting on some top guys for the 2012 class didn't work out too well. Smith seems like the perfect fit for this offense though.

It really depends on the kids personallity. Personally if I were Issac I wouldn't be scared off by Smith. He is going to be the best incoming RB at pretty much any school he goes to. I'm sure Joke would still take his commitment.

Smith is good. He'll be 4* across the board after the season. But Isaac still has a spot if he wants it.

Michigan offered 4* CB Ross Douglas, who is currently committed to Penn State. Wisconsin also recently offered him.

Naughty naughty-doesn't Brady Hoke know that that's against the B1G's 'gentleman's agreement'? Coaches Bielema and Dantonio are going to be pretty mad :p

Fwiw, Ross tweeted that it wasn't a new offer. Said UM offered him a month ago.
