Maybe Bama boosters offered to pay for his house too?

I agree with you, but one thing I wonder is why would that tactic not have become a bigger thing?
Much like coaches floating their name out their to potential openings to gain a raise at their current job (with no intention of leaving), why wouldn't a recruit schedule a visit to pocket $2,500 in the same way?
A great read for anyone interested in this process: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/4/10/5594348/college-foot…

But unlike coaches there aren't agents actively placing strategic phone calls to maxamize exposure. Quite the opposite, actually.

"Well, Michigan contacted my client about there coahing job. Where were we on negotiating that new contract?"
"Hello, 247 sports, please put out there that I have schedule a visit with Michigan"

"Honey, there is something for you at the front door ..."

to Hoke about visiting other schools and McMillion reconsidered becuase he did not want to lose his spot?
I don't doubt that bagmen schenanigans take place often in the SEC (i.e. Treadwell), but lets not act like every commit we lost got paid.

Pretty much every 4 and 5 star recruit from the south is paid.

isaiah prince commits to bama on friday then takes a OV to TOSU saturday morning leaving monday morning. all the while he asked that it be kept on the down low, but he goes to the championship celebration that was on the BIG channel,lol. needless to say a bama site leaked it. saban's reaction will be interesting. i would take all my OV's also, enjoy the moment and order the biggest steak on the menu,lol, imo.

It brings me much joy to see a user named 'OccaM' state the most obvious conclusion...

Always appreciate the links; thanks.
Michigan's chances of flipping him were very low, so it's not a major negative that he's not coming. More resources can be put towards kids they have a good shot with.

However, there is a limit on the number of official visits a recruit can take. I'm assuming you already knew this though.
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:46 AM ^
offical visitors that a school can host.

Can't fault the kid from exploring an opportunity that could risk his existing scholarship offer. That is, If he's not sure that it might be the right fit.

Maybe Alabama "threaten" to rescind his offer if he did?
January 22nd, 2015 at 11:47 PM ^
example how a policy like the one hoke used works

Can you provide any documentation for this assertion/claim?
Why can't some people on this board just accept that Michigan may not be for everyone and that when someone visits or commits elsewhere that nothing shady necessarily occurred?

Realistically, how many recruits does Michigan still have a shot at for this year?
Unrealistically, say Harbaugh isn't able to land a single recruit by signing day (February 3rd/April 1st), how deterimental is that?
Doesn't that just mean Harbaugh's next class can be huge and full of the guys he wants instead of fighting the scraps this year?

1. All the recruits.
2. HWHAT
3. OKAYYY

There are plenty of great "bodies" on campus now. Hoke's classes didn't get their high ratings via smoke and mirrors. I would be surprised to see as many as 20 recruits this year; 15 or 16 would be my guess. My hope is for a great class that has anyone who decommitted kicking themselves in the ass when they watch Michigan win a National Championship in a few years.

the bottle of maize 100 proof stuff again. But I like what he's thinking.

If Saban is comfortable, a visit should not worry for him....
