Ben VanSumeren is headed to Michigan as expected. He tweeted an announcement, but then deleted it shortly afterwards.
Edit - Now just announced again.

Ben VanSumeren to Michigan
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson

Who? (I have a very short memory for recruits that go elsewhere.)
Next young man up that wants to be a Hawkeye and wonder if the Hawks go after the Juco linebacker that plays with Honas.
Took kids who run their mouth about being totally committed to hawks to flip less than a week later clueless fool
Can't blame him, grew up a Michigan fan. It's easy to bash a kid who's committed and then leaves for an opportunity that's better for him but this is the way it works these days.
He wasn’t even the best linebacker or athlete in the state of Michigan, he was good, don’t get me wrong but there’s still a lot of good athletes out there better than this kid Iowa can get. Honestly I’m more disappointed about Stepp and he did it the “right” way and never committed to Iowa in the first place.
Difference in mentality today. Early in my career I took a new job then the company I worked for offered me more money to stay. I had made a verbal commitment so told them no. Without integrity you have nothing.
Harbaugh is such a tool, not the first time he has poached a Hawk commit. Garber head coach and the principal are what's wrong with our society, they had to get in the lime light. I've lived in Michigan for 15 years, glad to say I am moving. Good to get away from Michigan fans, MSU fans are humble and fun to tailgate with, Michigan fans are arrogant winner followers, flags go down when they lose.

Hope he likes listening to tO$U’s fight song...
Sarcasm font. BVS was a good athlete, but there are hundreds of kids with his size/speed ratio. We just need Honas and one more.
Assuming this is sarcasm. If not u r a total tard
Yes, it was a joke. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I haven't LOVED any of his previous classes. I've loved some of the individual players in them, obviously, but didn't LOVE them as a whole. I LOVE the 2018 class so far and hope we continue the recruiting momentum into 2019 and beyond
Sad thing is that it's probably what some people IRL or on here actually think
I don't care that he committed to Michigan. I just wish he didn't "commit" to Iowa. It's not a commitment if you go back on your word.
I understand a kid growing up a fan of the local team and can't turn it down. What I don't understand is a kid like the receiver from Iowa City that said he grew up a Hawk fan and jumping at the offer from Michigan or the kid from Cedar Falls that jumped on the offer from Alabama. These are two upper programs but if I grew up a Hawk it wouldn't matter.
Yes. He'll be deciding between Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas State here in the next 3 days.
If I'm an elite WR recruit who hopes to play on Sundays, there's no way I'm going to Iowa, regardless if I grew up a fan.
I need to know what "dead" means to a theoretical physicist.
It is what it is, but I am getting sick of Harbaugh coming in during the final week or two and offering Iowa commits. Harbaugh is a real slime ball.
With the new early signing period, this will happen but now the staff has more time to find someone else.
Well in a way it's pretty flattering and no I don't care for Jimmy nor have I thought he is the be-all, end-all coach that many of the guys on here have.
But honestly Michigan only recruits marginally better than us based on players in the NFL. In fact we've been very close with them over the last 15 years as far as NFL alumni, past them typically and this just goes further proving they like how we evaluate talent. It will be OK.
I'll tell you this Iowa has a pretty good track record of "identifying" a position and if they really thought he was an outside linebacker then I'm going to assume that's what he was. If he goes to Michigan screws around for a couple years trying to be a TE and then position switches, he'll be behind the eight ball.
And honestly Nixon didn't switch to Alabama, Johnson doesn't appear to have switched to LSU, Petras did switch...we were due.
Hopefully it’s another Josey Jewell.
He's going to feel really silly in 2019 when Iowa comes into the Big House and smacks Michigan around.
