He's all USC and has been for a long time, I'd rather see our staff put all of their efforts into McQuay or Fuller, more realistic options.

It's also in his official announcement.

I doubt he'll switch but it is quite odd that he wants to take officials.

What should USC do? If they're like Michigan he can't visit after commiting. If they do that, he says screw that and decommits...relationship sours...

I'm sure it was discussed already with USC.

And bit them in the ass with De'anthony Thomas.

I like Hoke's policy.

You don't commit until you are committed to the team and your teammates, and you don't get to pick and choose who the rule applies to.

Do I think Cravens wants to visit because he thinks there is a chance Michigan will be better for him? No. But a coach can't see what's in a kids heart (well maybe Hoke can, I don't know), and a coach is destined to lose his team as soon as he starts applying rules to some kids and not to others (I'm looking at you Urbs).

Yeah, I agree that both will be tough pulls but they're both more realistic than Cravens. I would love to land any of the 3.

If Craven is going to visit he will need to do it this summer because the class maybe full by the time he does. I don't see him visiting.

He is not coming here. Whether he visits or not is irrelevant. That is why the USC fans don't care.

I get the sense Cravens is just afraid to disappoint people and can't say no. Who commits to the favorite school but announces they're still taking visits? Crazy.

Hoke rests on his laurels, once he accepts a person into Michigan he will go out of his way to make sure they are comfortable w/ their commitment.... even if that means turning away DOD and Anzalone like he did. He practices what he preaches, if he told commits they couldn't visit anywhere and then went behind their back it would be snake. Luckily we have a coach that wants the recruits to start feeling like a team before they ever step on campus, and that has been evident in his 1st 2 recruiting classes.

Then what school in their right mind would accommodate the kid? I hope not us. We're not in the business of entertaining 17year olds who just want to tour the nation.

Let's review Hoke's policy. It's simple. A recruit who wants to take visits is one Hoke does not see as committed. Any kid. It doesn't matter if it's a Michigan commit or any other school. So, to put it simply the answer is no it's not hypocritical. Hoke just wouldn't consider Cravens as committed to USC. The same way he wouldn't consider a Michigan kid taking visits as being committed to Michigan.

With that being said, I don't think Hoke will allow Cravens to visit unless Cravens pays for it himself because i don't believe Cravens has any real interest in Michigan.
