2015 CB Nate Dalton no longer visitng this weekend
Per his Twitters, he said he made the decision not to visit. Sounds odd that a guy with offers from Kentucky, Liberty, and Arkansas would cancel, especially since I think Harbaugh made an in-home visit last night IIRC. It may be the UM homer in me, but seems more like a "I broke up with her, she didn't break up with me" situation due to a change in circumstances.

We are visiting/being visited by people I've never heard of. With that offer sheet I see why.
January 21st, 2015 at 2:24 PM ^
If you want to doubt Jim Harbaugh's scouting, go ahead bruh.
January 21st, 2015 at 2:45 PM ^
It's pretty impressive to see the variety of players he's looking at in terms of position, location, star ranking, etc. It's fun reading up on these new guys.
January 21st, 2015 at 3:09 PM ^
January 21st, 2015 at 3:30 PM ^
Why do you think Hoke thought that way?
January 21st, 2015 at 3:59 PM ^
that he will never miss? or just that we can't have opinions on the topic?
January 21st, 2015 at 5:28 PM ^
This is why this fanbase sucks.
Three weeks into the job "NOT ENOUGH FIVE STARS"
January 23rd, 2015 at 12:17 PM ^
hmmm yeah no one said that.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:20 PM ^
Less competition for Iman.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:28 PM ^
Precisely: Sounds like the coaches got good vibes from Iman "Biggie" Marshall.
With a very limited number of spots, perhaps the staff is hoping to have a few spots open on NSD.
Because we have a few targets who won't likely decide until then. And they'd be worth the wait.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:34 PM ^
i'm torn on this. i feel like the iman's visit went about as well as possible, but i can't see a situation where he doesn't end up at USC. his commitment would definitely be worth waiting for, and we could always bank scholarships come NSD if our top targets go elsewhere (clark, marshall, not sure who else is deciding then). i would just hope they didn't tell a high ceiling player like dalton not to visit when iman's almost certainly not coming and they want 2 CB in the class
January 21st, 2015 at 2:07 PM ^
I'm sure he has a better handle on the situation than you do. They could very well have told him he's not at the top of the list. Everyone is saying Iman isn't coming because the "authorities" say he is going to USC. These would be some of the same people who said Harbaugh would never come to Michigan.
It's also possible, with Liberty being in his top schools that he thinks there are higher priorities than football.
In the end, trust Harbaugh.
January 21st, 2015 at 3:49 PM ^
Yeah, well everytime someone says this, I think two words: Montae Nicholson.
See also, the HC Anderson fable about the dog with the bone in its mouth crossing the footbridge.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:58 PM ^
I love Allison Brie. She makes my heart ache.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:47 PM ^
It might not be Iman.
Maybe they got good vibes from Damon Arnette.
January 21st, 2015 at 5:01 PM ^
Good call.
In any case, it's mildly encouraging to see what appears to be space being made for higher-ranked prospects as NSD approaches. It suggests the staff thinks they may need a little more room than they originally planned for.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:20 PM ^
and I never really fully grasped why he was offered, but in Harbaugh I trusted. Maybe there was interest but the offer was contingent upon missing out on X-Y-Z. Hard to say in this day and age. Good luck to the kid.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:27 PM ^
My first thoughts exactly.
I'm not going to go so far as to say it's Iman Marshall, but this give me the impression that the staff is feeling good about another prospect or two who are higher on their board.
January 21st, 2015 at 2:27 PM ^
Nate Dalton scheduled to visit Michigan, meeting w/ his coach today to confirm plans. Dalton, a 6-3 CB, played defense for 1st time this yr

Thus the Bag Man tooketh away?

January 21st, 2015 at 1:22 PM ^
Obviously, Iman is a silent commit and Coach told him to sit this one out.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:21 PM ^
Must mean good things with Iman considering Peppers moving to safety and then this.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:25 PM ^
Please, for the love of Harbaugh. This.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:48 PM ^
Got my start on sour beers at Russian River...
January 21st, 2015 at 2:00 PM ^
I have only had it couple times and it seems impossible to get in Michigan(Online Beer Trade?). Love me some Russian River though.

I like your avatar now... sexy in a June Cleaver drinking beer sort of way.
Sorry Spicyweiner, MGoBrewMom is hot!!!!!!!!!
January 21st, 2015 at 1:30 PM ^
Yes! Maybe he senses Iman is coming to the M.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:21 PM ^
to be a UM homer.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:22 PM ^
Those Liberty bag men are ruthless.

Known in the shady parts of Lynchburg as "Falwell's Fellows".
January 21st, 2015 at 1:26 PM ^
From Virginia, can confirm. Hundreds are injured every year in Lynchburg from drive by Biblings. Their reign of terror knows no bounds!
January 21st, 2015 at 2:45 PM ^
Lynchburg doesn't sound like a place I want to be...
January 21st, 2015 at 1:35 PM ^
Bag man did visit....
January 21st, 2015 at 1:34 PM ^
Soooo your point is... we're cookin' blue meth?
January 21st, 2015 at 1:41 PM ^
Harbaugh is more addictive than blue meth.

the type of guy that breaks up with you over the phone or via text. He does it man to man
January 21st, 2015 at 1:29 PM ^
I endorse only offering people who are educated enough to tell that Liberty is a fake school.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:29 PM ^
Harbaugh is in exuberance mode and will produce as much as he can. Obviously, Coach is turning heads across the country.
January 21st, 2015 at 1:34 PM ^
He just wanted to go to other schools. I think that is OK too.
For all we know Harbaugh laid out some "conditions" that the kid didn't want to meet, or his GF is going to Liberty, or... a million other non-football possibilities.
Assuming this means anything about other recruits is dubious at best.
January 21st, 2015 at 2:18 PM ^
Reread my post and see if you can see the hidden /s

January 21st, 2015 at 1:34 PM ^
I am pessissmistic that this news relates to Iman's situation. I have no more info than anyone else in this thread, but I'm not taking the leap of faith that Dalton's quick decision means anything positive relative to another DB. Maybe the kid just doesn't want to play at Michigan.
January 21st, 2015 at 2:17 PM ^
That's sacrilege, you blaspheming apostate.
