Even after visiting Florida and its staff he says he's still committed to Michigan. Hopefully Coach Funk shows up soon to let him know he isn't.

Maybe not this early, since there are plenty of spots to recruit linemen for. However, Hoke's policy is as much about sending out the message "Stick by Michigan and Michigan sticks by you", so I wouldn't be surprised if word got out.

Nope...I don't think so. They can't talk about any recruits, can they? But I presume he is not commit anymore.

Coaches, or anyone associated with the school, cannot go on record about a particular commit. However, they could still "leak" information about a particular recruit to the media. The coaches could certainly tell Steve that they no longer consider Ward a commit, and then Steve would report something like "I'm hearing that Michigan no longer considers Ward as a commit."

I like Hoke's commitment policy but it doesn't really carry much weight until a position is full or near full it seems. We have 4-5 open OL slots for 2014 depending on how this years class finishes. Ward, Cole, Doles, etc... can take all the time they want deciding until the spots start to fill up, but once the spots start filling, the no visit policy has teeth.
