Mecole Hardman, the No. 1 athlete recruit in the 2016 class, will be in Ann Arbor this weekend visiting for the Michigan – Ohio State game. Hardman, an Elberton, Georgia native, tweeted that his decision is ‘getting harder’ and he will no longer be silent committing.
I will not be doing my silent commitment any longer!

While Georgia and Tennessee were reported to be the favorites, Hardman clarified that there was no school he was ever ‘silently’ committed to.
TO CLEAR ALL RUMORS, I wasn't "silently" committed to any school!!

Hardman Jr. also later shared that he’ll be making his college decision on national signing day. Sam Webb notes that the five-star is the most electric skill player Michigan has recruited since Jabrill Peppers.
