quote:

“I was committed to Bama for a long time,” he said.

“What happened?” Taylor Lewan asked.

“Nick Saban didn't give me a hug.” 

“I care about the little things,” Isaiah elaborated. “I'm thinking in my head, I just committed, this is now my coach. You know what I mean?” 

“Is it normal to get a hug?” a clearly stunned Taylor responded.

“I don't know, man,” Isaiah said with a laugh. “I just committed, I was hoping I could get one. I put my arms out and [inaudible] I was like dawg …” 

Instead of a hug, Saban … extended his hand out for a HANDSHAKE.


Oh, and by the way, did Kirby Smart hug him? 

“You better believe he did,” Isaiah said with a laugh.




In a shock to no one, Harbaugh ruined Michigan's chances with Wilson by being a big weirdo.

quote:

We almost got you?” Taylor, the Michigan grad, asked.

“Harbaugh did something weird,” Isaiah replied. “He did something super weird.”

BUCKLE UP PEOPLE. WORLD CLASS HARBAUGH STORY INCOMING.

“What did he do?” Everyone on the Bus asked in unison.

“Remember when [Michigan] first got the deal with Jordan?” Isaiah began. ”[Harbaugh] just wouldn’t take off his cleats. He came to my in-home visit with cleats on his feet. And I have hardwood floors. And he’s just walking around with cleats bro. After that it was over.”





That hug, plus the cash and charger from DGD, sealed the deal. Fun story huh?

Not really. Picture Nick Saban giving a 6'7 guy a hug. He had to reach straight up to give him a handshake

Don’t get me wrong, it’s cringey and weird for Wilson to offer a hug, but Saban going for the handshake makes it instantly weirder.

What's so weird about it? We're talking about a kid that just got probably the best news he's ever had in his life. I'd say a hug isn't that big of a stretch.
