At some point it becomes academic, but who was the last Michigan recruit who had a list of offers like young Mr. Levenberry?  He's been offered by virtually every big program save for a couple of PAC12 schools.  I presume that they were, each and every one of them, serious, committable, real offers.

any other day during the recruiting process.

It is my understanding that no contact is permitted with a junior except for on campus visits, only one of which can be paid by the school.  See below which is a summary of the NCAA Division I manual:

 

Art. 13.1.1 (“Off-campus recruiting contacts shall not be made with an individual (or his or her relatives or legal guardians) before July 1 following the completion of his or her junior year in high school . . . .”). Article 13.02.4 of the NCAA Bylaws defines “contact” as “any face-to-face encounter between a prospective student-athlete or the pro-spective student-athlete’s parents, relatives or legal guardians and an institutional staff member or athletics representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of exchange of a greeting.    

 

The schools may be on campus and may be talking to a coach,  but not to  EJ.  A coach cannot even  initiate phone (text or otherwise) contact the recruit until his or her senior year.

Tomorrow I expect Florida State to receive a commitment from Virginia linebacker E.J. Levenberry.
The ‘Noles have been recruiting EJ Levenberry since the end of his freshman year. He and the FSU staff have a longstanding relationship, he’s come to games and recently spent an entire week in Tallahassee with his family. Levenberry’s strongest relationship is with FSU DL coach Odell Haggins.
I feel there are things that Levenberry likes about both Michigan and Florida State. However, the fact that Michigan doesn’t have Levenberry’s major, is a big plus for FSU’s chances.
Levenberry’s announcement will take place tomorrow at 3pm. I’ll update this if something changes between now and his announcement.
