I get the feeling he is leaving the door ajar in case OSU comes through with an offer...and if they do, I would suspect they would be in the hunt...

Deanthony Arnett makes his claim to be Michigan's No. 1 prospect - ESPN

Top Performer

Wide receiver Deanthony Arnett, from Saginaw, Mich. showed up late because of previous commitments but he didn't disappoint. Arnett, who now has 14 scholarship offers, made several big-time plays during the 7-on-7s. Overheard were several high school coaches comparing Arnett to former Muskegon (Mich. ) and current USC wide receiver Ronald Johnson.

For being in the middle of basketball season, Arnett looked exceptionally sharp. He's quick off the line, runs crisp and precise routes and caught everything in sight. With the athletic ability to play on either side of the ball as well as being a difference maker on special teams, the recruitment of Arnett is sure to hit a fever pitch.

"Notre Dame, Michigan State and USC are my top three," Arnett said. "I'm looking at these three schools because they have great academics and they give me a great shot at getting to my goal of getting to the next level. Things have really picked up now so I'm taking my time with things.

"Alabama and Oklahoma are two more schools I'm going to take a hard look at. I'll be visiting Alabama for a spring practice."

As for the Michigan Showcase, Arnett was almost a no-show.

"I had to come because there were too many people talking junk." Arnett said. "I really don't pay attention to message boards or rankings and stuff like that but when it's brought to my attention, I need to have an answer. I need to show up to make sure that everyone knew who was and why I am the No. 1 prospect in the state of Michigan.

"People were talking too much stuff on facebook and I needed to have an answer for all that."

Video from the Michigan Showcase... Arnett is as advertised... His route running & in particular his hesitation move, is special... He has great body control, can cut on a dime, & literally had DBs turning circles... These clips show him beating all of the top CBs that were in attendance...
