Saw this report on another Board, and thought I'd post a portion of it here. LOL if true, as it appears to be.

ANN ARBOR -- On Monday night, Michigan made one more pitch at flipping another Nebraska recruit.


But ultimately, three-star defensive end Daishon Neal reaffirmed his commitment to Nebraska live on Omaha's 1620 The Zone radio station Tuesday morning.


But then things got interesting.


Neal and his family hosted Michigan defensive line coach Greg Mattison in their home Monday, and at first, everything went well.


In fact, Neal's father -- Abraham Hoskins Jr., a former college receiver -- was leaning toward pushing his son to Michigan.


But then, things changed.


"Michigan was a powerhouse, they came in and they stormed us, they made one bad statement and it was over," Hoskins told 1620 on air. "They said without football, Daishon wouldn't be able to go to Michigan. Like we couldn't afford to send him there, or that we couldn't get him in academically.


"Once he said that, we pretty much escorted him out of the house."


Neal continued by stating: "(They) basically tried to call me stupid in front of my face."
