Spoiled College Football Fanbase Roasting Rivals After Massive Recruiting Whiff

After 4-star running back recruit Marquise Davis chose Mark Stoops’ Kentucky Wildcats over Sherrone Moore’s Michigan Wolverines, fan reactions poured in mocking freshly poached running backs coach from Ohio State Tony Alford. Davis was among Alford's top targets after he arrived in Ann Arbor and was expected to be a cornerstone of the Wolverines’ 2025 recruiting class.

Davis selected the Wildcats despite On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine giving the Wolverines an 89.5 percent chance to earn his commitment. Ohio State fans aren’t allowing this massive let-down felt by their biggest rivals to go unnoticed, even though they were also in the running to earn Davis’ commitment.

“Michigan is losing recruiting battles to Kentucky. The fall off post Stallions is already a movie,” an Ohio State fan reacted on X.

“2025 four-star Cleveland Heights RB Marquise Davis has committed to Kentucky. Major swing and miss for Michigan, as the Wolverines had been the presumptive leader for Davis for a while. Michigan fans, welcome to the Tony Alford experience,” The Silver Bulletin wrote on X.

"Michigan fans said we were coping when we told them what they were about to start experiencing. This was a can’t miss layup for them. Welcome to Tony Alford, enjoy,” Brantford Winstonworth commented on X.

“Wow, Marquise Davis to Kentucky over Michigan when he was clearly Tony Alford’s number one running back target is too good to be true, ‘We StOlE tHeIr BeSt ReCrUiTeR’. You guys have fun with the classic Alford plan C and D scraps, we’re cool with Jordan Davison and Bo Jackson,” AthletesInSpace posted on X.

“Michigan fans now realizing the Tony Alford effect,” FFBuck wrote on X.

“Michigan beating their chest over Marquise Davis, a player OSU likes but clearly wasn’t prioritizing, is the Tony Alford experience in real time. Those crystal balls might roll in, but Tony often leaves you disappointed. Very poetic,” another Ohio State fan commented.

“LMFAOOOO TONY ALFORD STRIKES AGAIN. TTUN WHAT HAPPENED,” another Ohio State fan responded.

“Man he played Michigan,” JBook reacted on X.
