One joke tweet is hardly plenty of mention...and regardless, it was a joke...that pretty much voids it of anything worth being worried about...

We...as a fanbase...have got to learn to relax about this stuff...I know the past few years have been tough and we've seen a lot of flakiness in recruiting but some of us are taking this to an extreme...

The visit to arnett is just an in-home to touch base with more than a phone call...there's nothing more to it...end of story

Agreed that all it was is touching base. All I was doing was posting the info given.

I am pretty sure CDD visits all the prospects at their home from time to time. He visited Couch a few weeks ago in his home and no one seemed concerned about that visit. They are kids, you have to keep showing them attention.

Seriously. I think it is great that Dooley is visiting committed kids. Many of these guys are probably starting to feel a lot of anxiety about a decision that will affect the rest of their lives. It is probably reassuring to see what essentially will be your surrogate father for the next 3-4 years in your home, answering questions and helping to prepare you for what will be a hectic few months.

How about you don't jump all over the guy for simply giving information. Some of us appreciate what he contributes to the board (which is more than I can say for you at times.)

I've got a better idea...since this board is a medium for the exchange of information AND opinions I'll continue to say whatever I want whenever I want so long as it falls within the rules of the board

Hopefully it's just a courtesy checkup visit and has nothing to do with his seemingly new found interest in UM under their new coach.

Right after Michigan hired Brady Hoke Arnett blew up his Twitter with news about UM and Hoke. Talked about it being a great hire, etc.

He grossly misrepresented the facts of the matter concerning Arnett's interest in UM...I called him on it...I'll continue to do that with anyone who flat out makes stuff up such as Arnett blowing up his Twitter with praises of the Hoke hire

There is obviously concern if Dooley made a trip to Saginaw. Just because Arnett isn't posting it on his twitter or making it public doesn't mean there isn't something going on there. Quit acting like you know all the facts.

Which Denard Robinson have you been watching?

The one that sucks. Which one are you watching? How many "Denards" can there be. He is an absolute joke as a qb. He's either a slot receiver or scat back, but in no way is he a qb.

Dooley has made an in-home visit with most of our current commits...does that mean we've been in jeopardy of losing them all at some point or another?

There is nothing obviously wrong going on here...you either believe there is based on nothing but baseless conjecture and internet rumors or you don't...

And I have never claimed to know all the facts...I just called out flowd82 when he claimed that Arnett was praising the Hoke hire when in fact he has done nothing of the such

Like I said I was just posting the give information. Thought some others one here would like to see it. I personally like the conversation and opinions on this message board. I just posted some information from TOS and gave a little sentence to strike up some conversation about it.

Obviously there is some degree of worry or doubt or they wouldn't have made the trip all the way to Michigan. And also I'm not professional of Twitter, but I seen that he re-tweeted like 6 different tweets about UM getting a good hire in Brady Hoke. So I don't think my statement of him blowing up his Twitter with info on the Hoke hire was "flat out making stuff up". I don't see why he would re-tweet those tweets if he didn't have some sort of agreement with them.

I'm just on VN trying to have some good Vol recruiting conversation. I'll be sure in the future to not post my opinions and thoughts on a free message board due to upsetting someone who is so far in the know.

new article up on gvx247 anyone with a subscription, summary?

Dooley talked about him coming in and making an immediate impact. Dooley wants him to be a Gerald Jones type third down receiver who is also a deep threat.

Arnett said a bunch of other schools are contacting him, trying to plead their case, but he doesn't plan on making any more visits.

He said Brady Hoke hasn't contacted him, yet.

Why does CDD obviously have to be concerned just because he made the trip to see Arnett? He can't be going without being concerned?

Because that's a long way to go out of the blue just to pop in and say hello.

Who said it was out of the blue and not a planned in home visit with a committed prospect? Do people honestly believe that Dooley got a call on the bat phone and hopped on the private jet for Michigan immediately?

So far your evidence of a possible problem consists of Dooley making an in-home visit...something that happens all the time and is in no way unusual for this time of year...and a bunch of tweets that apparently only you have seen (I find it hard to believe...knowing the tendencies of this board...that he tweeted those things and it's not posted all over this thread)...

I'm all for good Vol recruiting conversations...but when you claim to have evidence such as what you're claiming right now you should be ready to show it...

IF Arnett has indeed tweeted that many times about Hoke then even I might get a little concerned...I'd be more than willing to admit you're right about the situation if you could provide proof that these tweets actually happened

I am not familiar with that Denard Robinson. I have been watching the Denard Robinson that tends to struggle at times like a lot of quarterbacks. You cannot deny the fact that Denard Robinson has exceptional running ability even though his passing could use some work. I think it speaks to Denard Robinson as a player to have that desire to stick it out at Michigan and learn Brady Hoke's new system. Will Denard Robinson be successful? I don't know. But I know that Denard Robinson is a good player and I will be pulling for him.

Like I said I am by no means an expert on Twitter or how it works because I don't have one. I do know that on TOS there were many conversations and mentions of how Arnett was posting/tweeting/whatever you want to call it on Twitter about the new UM hire. Many were questioning about it or worried. I posted my info on here not because I was worried about Arnett, but because it was current relevant info and because this topic had been talked about on TOS so I wanted to bring up the conversation on here.

Here is the link to his Twitter account. You can see that he posts 5 times in a row about the new UM hire.

There you go...that's what I'm talking about...good job :hi:

It still doesn't look like anything to worry about to me...and I don't buy that this sort of thing was Dooley's motivation for going...but I wouldn't be surprised if it was known by Dooley and in the back of his mind

He was feeling under the weather tonight and didn't want to do an interview but he did say he is all-Vol and can't wait until signing day rolls around so he can sign and start learning more. He said he was really excited after the visit today to be a Vol.

Everything seems great with Arnett (except his health). Good News.

Pull away. He's an idiot if he sticks around unless he's willing to switch positions. As a qb he reminds me of Eric Locke.
