Recruit decommits after Michigan thanks him for attending an event he didn't attend

[JonLP24]

The Michigan Wolverines lost a commitment from ESPN 300 defensive tackle Aubrey Solomon on Monday because of a mailing gaffe.

Solomon, a senior at Lee County High School in Leesburg, Georgia, told 247Sports.com that he was mailed a letter thanking him for attending Michigan's BBQ recruiting event. The only problem was that Solomon did not attend the event, which made him feel that he wasn't as big of a priority to the Michigan coaches as he thought.

"A day or two ago, they sent my mom a card thanking us for going to the Michigan BBQ, but we never went," Solomon told 247Sports.com. "I do not know which recruit they were talking to, but it was not me. It was just a little heartbreaking, for me to supposedly be so high on their list, for them to confuse me with someone else.

"Plus they spelled both of my names wrong after I told them, but that was not the main issue. I guess they do not have tabs on me."

Some poor clerical schmuck probably sent these out...it happens...guy is a little naive and a lot too full of himself.

3. He is the #5 at his position

Georgia appears to be in the lead and from the looks of his offers he could go anywhere.

6. But if that's all it takes for him to uncommitt

Something else probably would have done it if it wasn't that.

There, there.

You ARE special. Yes you ARE!
