Michigan has been making the rounds and by many accounts is doing very well on the recruiting trail. Lets hope the Wolverines avoid a repeat this classic recruiting faux paus from earlier this year.

The Wolverines and defensive line coach Greg Mattison made a last gasp effort to get three-star defensive end Daishon Neal — a Nebraska commit — to flip his commitment away from the Cornhuskers, but it backfired in the worst possible way.
Oh no, Michigan. You can't do that.
Rule number one of recruiting: DO NOT INSULT THE RECRUIT IN HIS OWN HOME. There are certain things you just can't do, and insinuating that a recruit is not smart enough to actually get into school is pretty high up that list. If that is a part of the Michigan recruiting handbook, they should probably rip that page out.
