*** Let\u2019s just start off with this. I don\u2019t think an Ohio State fan site releasing a Michigan reaction video means anything in terms of where Top 100 Springfield (Ohio) High cornerback Aaron Scott<\/a><\/strong> is going. I think it was just a terrible mistake on their end. I do, however, believe Scott hasn\u2019t told told Ohio State where he\u2019s going \u2014 or Michigan for that matter. Scott has done a great job of playing things close to the vest during his recruitment. I\u2019ll also say I don\u2019t think this is a Bryce West situation. He was always going to Ohio State. Michigan has given Scott plenty to think about. <\/p>\n

*** All has been quiet on the Michigan side for the last week. With about 24 hours to go before the decision, I still feel like the pick is going to be Ohio State. If I had to put in a prediction right now, it would be in favor of the Buckeyes. But I don\u2019t know for sure. This isn\u2019t a Jordan Shipp situation, where I\u2019m basically telling you all to move on. Deep down, I still think there is a small chance Scott does indeed \u2018shock the world.\u2019 It may be a 5 or 10 percent chance, but there is a sliver of hope. Michigan hasn\u2019t given up. And again, while I feel they\u2019ll fall short, they aren\u2019t completely dead \u2014 yet. <\/p>\n

*** On300 Fort Bend (Texas) Christian offensive tackle Bennett Warren<\/a><\/strong> is set to make his decision in 48 hours. Unlike the rest of the market, I never put in a prediction for Michigan. I said it a couple of times, but Warren reminds me of a former Michigan commit from the Houston-area in Jordan Elliott. Like Warren, he said all the right things about U-M and was unpredictable, but I never felt like he was going to sign with the Wolverines. Of course, I was on the Texas beat at the time and Elliott signed with the Longhorns before transferring. Now, I feel like I\u2019m reliving this on the Michigan beat with Warren. As I\u2019ve said for multiple weeks, I\u2019m still leaning Tennessee here. <\/p>\n

*** Warren\u2019s parents absolutely love Michigan and were extremely impressed on the official visit last month. I\u2019m told that if the parents had their pick, it would likely be U-M. While Warren really does like Michigan, I feel like his heart is with Tennessee. I\u2019ve heard buzz that he was close to picking the Volunteers following his final official visit. However, his family didn\u2019t seem fully onboard. As we approach his announcement, I get the feeling that Warren will make his own decision. I\u2019m not putting in a prediction this close to a decision date, but if I had to, I would go with Tennessee. <\/p>\n
