Ty Isaac controversy

I guarantee it was not Steve. I have never interacted with Sapp, so I can't speak about that, but I would be surprised if it was him. There are definitely some bad apples in this business (see: the MSU guy breaking a bunch of Michigan commits before the recruit wanted it published and the entire Bucknuts staff), but Steve and JSapp are way above that.

Anyone saying anything negative about Jason Sapp is delusional. He is as crem de la crem as they come. Straight-up, class act.

Class act, Steve. Do you have any info to shed light on what happened..? I basically just want to know if someone actually hurt our chances with Isaac, because that would be bad.

Nothing happened. I think Michigan is the program that has set the bar for Isaac. But he's obviously considering and talking to other options.

Oh I agree. I'm not on twitter and I don't like when fans bother recruits. There are some (Ondre Pipkins and Shane Morris come to mind) that love interacting with fans, but there are some who just want to be left alone and live their life.

Thanks, Steve, sounds good! Keep up the good work, it'd be awesome for us to pick up Isaac in addition to Smith and Shallman.

Do you think Michigan lands Isaac now that Orndoff is headed to Pitt and there aren't anymore TE targets?

Rumors are that an analyst talked to Ty and was trying to steer him away from Michigan by talking about Smith committing and that Michigan wouldn't want him anymore.
Pretty sure those rumors are false, though.

I still think Michigan is the leader, but not ready to predict he is a future Wolverine. Isaac is still working through the process, building relationships with coaches, looking into schools and taking visits.

Alright thanks Steve, if he comes back on campus after his USC visit that could mean good news.

Ty Isaac has shared the ball with two Division-I running backs in high school. He won't be worried about competition wherever he goes.

Rarely is a top rated recruit scared of competition, also RBs tend to go in a rotation so playing time is always available.

I usually try to stay out of this stuff, but like Steve said, Jason Sapp is as talented and professional as they come in this business. For anyone to insinuate otherwise is ridiculous. Absolutely no way whatsoever that this is true.

BTW, Chris Balas unequivocally denied rumors of Sapp saying anything inappropriate to Isaac.

Going to lock this thread until any more news come out (whether good or bad).
We don't need rumors like these spreading if there is no facts to support it what so ever.
If anyone comes up with any more information, PM one of the mods and we will reconsider unlocking this thread.
Have a great day guys.
Go Blue and Go Titans!
