I think it's a peculiar connection.

The Singletary part is more of an indicator to me than anything. At the very least, it's showing that Michigan is looking into his perceived interest to try to set up a visit. Obvious longshot is obvious, but even having the attention of the top players in the country is a win for the program, especially when it's so far outside their normal recruiting footprint.

We can debate moral victories and all that, but the amount of big-time players whom Coach Hoke and Co. have at least had a chance with has been really nice to see.

If this were Northwestern or Vanderbilt having "interest" or landing a visit from a 5 star would be a win as far as perception. At Michigan it's not going to raise anyone's eyebrows. Out of the 26 five stars on Rivals I can count around 10 who at one point had us in a top group or visited.

Yes, but that's a victory.  2-3 years ago, very few of those guys were considering us or visiting us, and you can't get them to commit without first being on their radar.  Being in the final group for these guys has no on-field benefit when they pick someone else, but it helps the image of the program and will probably convince other recruits to consider us as well, some of whom will pick Michigan.

Colorado and Washington should totally put that at the forefront of their recruiting pitches. 

I do seriously wonder if, in states where pot has been legalized, if some teams will change suspension policies related to marijuana use (I may be making a leap here in thinking that UW has such a policy or that CU even continues to field a football team).

Not to get political, but how aggressively is the Obama administration pursuing the enforcement where medical marijuana is legal or legalized? I guess legalized on the level of WA and CO has yet to be seen but as I recall, Obama told Holder to back off on places that were in compliance with local laws when medical marijuana laws were being passed left and right but then he backed off on that? Still a lot of things are legal that teams prohibit during the season.

I've read that Obama publicly stated that the federal government wouldn't pursue marijuana cases in states where it has been legalized but I've also read about cases where they have done so anyway. The real issue, though, is that schools aren't going to let their players do something that is illegal in the United States and neither is the NCAA.
