I'd rather him go to Purdue than Michigan. Can't stand Michigan!

Insiders have information from the coaching staff (or administration). Or you can be someone like Title that has insight into a specific area of HS recruiting. That said, Hill has had a quiet recruitment. Coaching staffs don't know who's leading or trailing because he's not expressing those thoughts to folks outside of his family. It's why people have been doing their best to interpret his intentions by the very few pieces of information he is providing (wearing team gloves to games, unofficial/official visits). I'm still shocked that Michigan isn't part of the top-five but these are the rare recruitments where expert predictions are close to worthless.
Usually have 1 or 2 of these higher regarded recruitments every year where the player goes completely silent. Julio Jones is the most famous case. With the caveat that anything can happen in recruiting, almost every one of the extremely quiet recruiting stories is because the player doesn't want the drama associated with public recruiting. Because of this, I would be shocked if Hill is silent all fall only to pull drama during his announcement.
Feel the same but I want coach Henry to win this battle over Walters! Would be a great feather in the cap for Henry! And some braggin rights between him and Walters.

But the social media buzz would be monstrous
How does social media monetization fit in NIL? I remember Turk (Oklahoma's punter) has a YouTube channel.

Possibly? The NCAA doesn't move that quickly but it's possible that the staff petition for another TDV year earlier during the season. Or the NCAA is working much quicker in the past couple of years.

I have my own method to figure out where Jyaire Hill will commit. Here is the process
1. This picture has Hill in five different jerseys. Figure out which jersey Hill looks most natural in.
2. The jersey he looks most natural in, that will be his future jersey
3. Try to get many neutrals as feasible to tell us which jersey Hill looks most natural
To me, he looks most natural in Illini navy, but it also scares me that Michigan also wear navy

I think he looks most natural in the black one in the middle that is no school. Maybe he’s announcing he’s joking the Canadian football league.
Lmao he will release the same graphic but the other ones disappear one by one and that one turns into a Michigan jersey. I can see it now.
If these QB's don't work out, we can go with our back up plan.

I didn’t notice that until now. Good catch. Also that image of him with a black jersey on is a clue. It may be Michigan or some other team under that jersey that he’s hiding. We shall see.

black jersey, so many M's...
It isn't Michigan we should fear....
Update- he is carrying sugar in the Purdue jersey, it down to Missouri and Purdue
Hill has kept his recruitment so quiet that nobody knows where he’s going. It’s a surprise.

It is the truth, but not needlessly speculating is no funHill has kept his recruitment so quiet that nobody knows where he’s going. It’s a surprise.
Or, you know, Illinois.
