I tweeted on July 29th that Jordan Diamond might swing back to Ann Arbor after his trip to a few southern schools. It looks like he's there right now, according to his mother who is also with him.
They're mainly there to check on Chris Bryant, Diamond's former teammate. Never hurts to be on campus though.

Is there something I am missing in the story? Is there a reason to check on Bryant other than the fact that they are good friends? Sincere question. It just sounds like I'm not understanding.
The Diamond's were taking
Mrs. Diamond was taking Jordan's teammates around with Jordan to different schools and they recently stopped by Eastern for his teammates. It's right next door so they probably stopped by to say hi to Chris.
There's nothing wrong with Bryant, he's just good friends with the Diamond family.

Everything you've posted about Mrs. Diamond makes her seem really motherly and sweet. I'd love to have both her and Jordan in the Michigan family.
I was actually curious about
EDIT: Never mind, Tom answered it in the post above.
Great news that Jordan's visiting, hopefully it reminds him what he loves in AA over the southern schools!

No, we will be patient. Or at least try to be.
Um...
...well, always good to have him here. Man, this is the #1 kid I wanted in this class from a year ago...hope he commits sooner rather than later.

Having him on campus cannot be a bad thing. Heck, he should just commit and get it done with.

... it's quite the detour to go to Ann Arbor on your way to Illinois back from Dixie.
717 miles from Tuscaloosa, Alabama (not sure where he was coming from, but I just like saying Tuscaloosa) to Chicago.
1013 miles if you add in Ann Arbor. That's roughly 300 extra miles.
Promising.

Eastern Michigan was a planned stop on the trip for his teammates.

Tom-this is heresy but
why put this up at all? I know I am not as good at reading the TomVH hidden messages as others but this seems to be nothing more that they are passing through and they stopped to support a family friend. Certainly a nice thing to do but then you say, I am sure accurately, that it means nothing regarding the decision-making process for Diamond.
Well I think posting it gives
Well I think posting it gives the context so tomorrow when MLive is blowing up with "JORDAN VISIT COMMIT?!??!?! BUCKLEELELE EUPP!P!P!??!?!??????1111/?!?!" we won't have to even go there.
hmmm...
seems to me that all those other schools down south were just vacations for Diamond and Ann Arbor is more like home. Gotta love it when a kid's visits start to sound more like "Hey, just stoppin by again, whats up?" ...I think this one is just a matter of time.

He can bond with chris and other players and see the kind of family we have at MICHIGAN. I mean it can't hurt.

Maybe it's just me
But this road trip seems pretty damn epic.
I still laugh
When I think about how the spartan fans are almost guaranteeing a commitment from diamond, I guess in the twisted spartan logic kalis to michigan equals diamond to MSU.
I think you're mixing up MSU
I think you're mixing up MSU with OSU. Haven't heard a real word out of MSU on the Diamond front, don't think they're in it.
That's the point
With the looming OSU sanctions, when kalis committed to michigan all the spartan fans on RCMB and the only colors were jumping for joy because they thought they had become diamond's leader by default.
Not to defend Sparty, but the
Not to defend Sparty, but the only thing even remotely close to that on tRCMB is that Diamond might be open to other B1G options now, but Wisconsin was the clear #2. I don't think I even saw much of them readily assuming they'd have Diamond since we got Kalis, just inquiring what their chances were.
I think you are thinking of
I think you are thinking of Mississippi State not Michigan State. He said that he really really enjoyed his trip to Mississippi State. If I recall correctly
I thought it was Mississippi.
I could be wrong, but I thought I read Mississippi.
Not just sparty...
OSU fans truly believe they have a chance with him too...not even sure he has visited them. I believe so, but definitely not as many times as he has been to AA.

I have to think there is some correlation to the fact Jordan's teammates/friends are looking at Eastern. Hmmmmm???

Well they also went all through the south.

Bryant
I was recently in Chicago at the Lincoln Park Zoo and noticed a large man with a 58 Michigan t-shirt walking into a hall as I was walking out when I realized it was Chris I wanted to say something but didn't out of respect. If Jordan is as close to Chris as it seems I can only imagine this is a good sign for UM. Or maybe I have had too much bourbon.
