Stefon Diggs Announcement - 10PM ET 2/10

Arguably off topic since Stefon Diggs won't be selecting Michigan, but since Ohio is still in the mix, it's relevant. I haven't done the scholarship math, but if he chooses Auburn, I suppose it could shut the door on Kozan to the Tigers. Anyhow, here's the link.

Good Counsel High School wide receiver Stefon Diggs is set to announce his college decision on Comcast SportsNet on Friday night. Diggs will make the announcement during the 10 p.m. Geico SportsNet Central after the Wizards' game with LeBron James and the Miami Heat.

Diggs has confirmed to CSN that he has narrowed his list to five schools. Auburn, Cal, Ohio State, Florida and Maryland are still in the running for the five-star recruit's services. 

Edited the title with the correct day per the astute observation of Hello Heisman 21 noted below.

This is coming from SEC people, who know a thing or two about shady recruitments. Rumor has it, that less than two weeks before his decision, Diamond had all but left Auburn for dead as a viable option for his services. Something happened on his OSU visit, that really altered his opinion of his recruitment in a whole. I can tell you this, that in the past when something like this has happened, it usually involves that recruit having asked for something. Michigan is one of those schools that doesn't take part of anything remotely rule dodging, so if it was brought up to them, I'm certain it was shot down immediately. Take all this for what you will, but it looks like Michigan caught a break avoiding Diamond.

 

Sorry that this isn't on topic, but I don't know the process into posting your own topic.

Just on pure speculation, I think that he did ask OSU for something. What that is, I'm not 100% sure, but I think it may have been a job for his Mother. Whether or not OSU was ready to grant his request, who knows. I think someone on that OSU staff may have offered something, and Urban turned him down flat. Urban may point blank lie about a lot of things, but he has never really been apart of anything like this. I think this gave Jordan the knowledge, that there was a team out there who would grant his request.

It was certainly odd to see OSU drop Diamond, despite their desperate need for tackles.  It's not like Urban stops recruiting players, no matter how low the probability.

Like OSU, Michigan wasn't going to offer the things that Diamond and/or his camp wanted.  It wasn't too hard to read the tea leaves after OSU dropped Diamond.

I am glad you know/think this about Michigan. I always wanted to think we wouldn't participate in this (or any "rule dodgin" as you call it - save extra stretching), but I was afraid it was my maize coloured glasses. 

do others in the SEC think this about Michigan too?

To be honest, I would rather lose honourably - than win by rule dodging every time. And it seems pretty clear that Hoke agrees with this mindset.
