Michigan quarterback commit J.J. McCarthy says he grew up loving Ohio State Buckeyes football, but those feelings have evaporated.

Why? Aside from the obvious that the quarterback has now committed to playing for Ohio State's hated rival, McCarthy accused Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day of lying to him about Ohio State's recruiting plans at the quarterback position.

“Coach Day told me he wasn’t going to take (a 2021 quarterback) until the end of summer or anything like that because he wanted to make sure everything was all good, so I didn’t really worry about all that during my visit,” McCarthy told The Athletic, according to SB Nation. “But I didn’t get that feeling when I was there. I really didn’t, with all the coaches there and how they interacted with us, I didn’t feel the big family tradition part of it. It was either you’re good at football or you’re over here. That’s what I felt.”

The quarterback added: “I get it’s a business, but it always sucks being lied to. And that’s kind of where the rivalry started for me. And the hatred. But what are you going to do? It’s a business and they have to do what they have to do. They lied to my face, but it’s all good now."

McCarthy, who is ranked as the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the class of 2021 by 247Sports, took an unofficial visit to Ohio State on March 23. The Buckeyes then received a commitment from class of 2021 quarterback prospect Kyle McCord, currently ranked as the No. 8 pro-style quarterback, on April 30. McCarthy gave his pledge to Michigan and head coach Jim Harbaugh on May 11.

McCarthy also told The Athletic he now wants to "kill" Ohio State when he arrives at Michigan. Buckeyes sophomore linebacker Teradja Mitchell and Ohio State 247Sports Composite five-star commit Paris Johnson Jr., an offensive lineman in the class of 2020, both responded to McCarthy's comments on Twitter.

"Why TUN (team up north) recruits so hostile (laughing emoji)?" Mitchell wrote in a tweet.

"Revenge Tour: Part 2," Johnson added in a tweet.

Johnson's tweet was written sarcastically in a reference to last season, when Michigan players dubbed the year a revenge tour. The Wolverines redeemed losses from the 2017 campaign against Michigan State and Wisconsin, but the arch rival Buckeyes handed Michigan a 62-39 defeat in their annual rivalry to end the 2018 regular season. It was the seventh victory in a row for Ohio State in the series, and the 62 points was the most the Wolverines have ever allowed in a regulation game.

This rivalry does not need any extra juice, but The Game should have an added level of animosity if McCarthy is the starter under center for Michigan in the future.
