These commitment sideshows are getting out of hand. A zombie video? C'mon.

Just when you thought you could not get a more douchier drama commit than that Nordin commitment video (he later decommitted from the Nits) or JG's NYC show, you get this.
Now it's a big production showing what school a recruit is picking.
This video was a pretty good production for a HS kid.
Seems like even though he has RU in the picture, it looks like Kai-Leon fell through the cracks where offers are concerned.
I was surprised to find out RU didn't offer him after looking at that video and seeing Rutgers represented in it.

Don't you know, since Michigan has zero chance of beating OSU, Rutgers has now become their biggest rival or something.
That video is extremely stupid. But hey kid, thanks for the RU publicity! Michigan further legitimizing us as a rival. And it's hilarious that kid made a PSU video then wound up decommitting:joy:
It does seem Harbug is a little scared of what Rutgers might become under Ash and videos like this is a sign of that fear.
Someone ought to be definitely committed!....Don't mind the PSU video (seems like it was meant to be a post commitment thing) but now he looks like a jack*** for decommiting.
Actually with the "Walking Dead" theme he meant to show what he was gonna look like after facing "Ashes From Rutgers" special teams and defense!

I love kids having fun with their commitment.
Remember, it's about the kids, not some nobodies like us fans.

Right but dragging other schools into it? Kind of silly if you ask me. Have your moment and have your fun but also have some class.
If this was an RU committ and the tables were turned, doubt you'd be saying this.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this video, in my opinion. I thought it was clever.
How do you know what I'd be saying? Maybe I'd be cringing with embarrassment. But thanks for telling me my opinion in a purely hypothetical scenario.
I wouldn't say it was "dragging" other schools into it. I was surprised at the RU shirted character but thought the video was cool.
Beat em on the field and don't give a shit about this nonsense
I have no idea what you'd be saying...never suggested otherwise.
With all of our love for Rutgers, hate for PSU and Michigan..and joy whenever we get a 4-star committ, highly DOUBT most here would be offended by this video. Just saying.
Lol not offended in the least bit. And like I posted above, I'm thankful the kid gave RU some publicity in his video. Seems like Michigan has a thing for us. The victory in 2014 got us into their heads:)
Offended or not, you seemed to have insinuated the kids doesn't have "class". Disagree with that..though I do agree with you...Michigan is thinking about us. Looked like the other character was OSU...being in this video is a great thing.
Wowwwwwwww that was very creative and I am not hating, I kinda liked it, LOLOL. Hey it just goes to show you that Michigan is reallllllyyyyyyyy concerned about Rutgers. That is the good thing about the video. Hell, we got top billing right out of the box. Yeah, Michigan is having Zombie nightmares and the up and coming mighty NJ State university. #AshEra.......
Pretty good. Hopefully he is spending as much time on his game as he is on his video production.
I'm assuming the yellow shirt is Iowa and the white shirt is Penn State. Rutgers just happens to be the only shirt you can see. I don't think it really correlates with anything in regards to "fear" or "rivals". Would have been nicer to see some OSU, MSU and Notre Dame/Minnesota zombies instead.
That said, nice video but I'm not a fan of zombie stuff.

How does this show UM is concerned about RU? A high school kids made the video, not anyone from Michigan.
Oh stop it. He is an 18 year old in a world crying out for crap like this. Most of us know someone who would have done the same thing if this technology was available to us
If he stinks up the joint then this will haunt him like a. Zombie

It wasn't about Rutgers specifically. The other zombies are supposed to represent the other B1G schools. For example, Northwestern, Iowa, OSU and others were in there as well.
I thought the video was decent and it's not created by Michigan - it's created by Bleacher Report, which basically is trying to get more publicity for their website through these videos and then getting people to link through to the rest of their site.

I just read a article which had the following;
"In the video, which was posted by Bleacher Report, Herbert is wearing a blood-stained white shirt and closes a fence on a handful of zombies wearing various college shirts, including Michigan State and Penn State. He runs into the woods and fends off a slew of zombies wearing college shirts, including Rutgers and Ohio State, and hits one in the head with a brick before tearing open his shirt to reveal a Michigan shirt and saying "Go Blue".
So firstly, apparently I'm blind. Secondly the shirts are just conference, predominately Big Ten east foe. Not to be rude but why would some Florida recruit with no ties to Michigan previously attempt to single out Rutgers who he also has no ties to? Your teams shirt was featured in a video with other conference teams. I think it ends there.

Yea, we get it. But this is a Rutgers site so we were just pointing out the Rutgers shirt. No big deal. We get that it's just the B1G opponents.
Personally, I'm happy when the B1G takes someone from SEC territory. I think we should do more of it.
Actually Bleacher Report made the video so the Michigan staff had nothing to do with it.
There's actually a longer video if you look on his twitter that has a Northwestern shirt guy too and a bunch of the B1G guys up at the fence.
Here's the full video - it's 2 minutes and 15 seconds and includes the other B1G schools.
Same. I just assumed the yellow shirt was Iowa and the white Penn State.
Edit: The post above me explains it!

The video kid made is just a modern version of the old reliable hat trick recruits used to do when announcing the school their committing to.
Just because Bleacher Report is supposed to have made the video on its own, I wouldn't be surprised if the Michigan FB staff made some recommendations about what to put into that video.
Nothing wrong with the video , or if Michigan had a hand in making it as far as I'm concerned.
