He is cool with Darius so it could be possible but I think he will stay on the west coast.

Does anybody get the "poor man's Chris Mullin" bit though (specifically the "poor man's" part)? Yes, he does seem to have raised the expectations bar a bit, which is good.

He is a smart guy and knows the importance of setting expectations realistically. Last year, I saw him give a quick pep talk to UM fans prior to the game in DC against Georgetown and he was very clear about what to expect from the team (i.e. they need a lot of work and they are still learning). Now he is saying that we will all see significant improvement, which is exactly what I want to see most. On a different subject, I find Beilein’s comments about this years team very encouraging.

He was still in Ann Arbor as of this morning. Scout, Rivals, etc don't contact recruits during their visits. He would just be getting home this afternoon. You aren't going to see an article claiming a commitment without quotes. Even if he doesn't commit right now, he deserves time to think about his decision one way or the other without rushing into it while he's in Ann Arbor. Everyone needs to calm down on McLimans.

Byrd committed to MSU a week after his visit and I don't think any Spartans were all that worried that he didn't commit before he left. It's pretty normal to go home and discuss things with friends, family and coaches before making anything official. Early signing is just around the corner so we should know one way or another pretty soon. I think everyone was set up by comments that one of the visitors was likely to commit if things went well.

I figure these guys usually know something right after it happens so you'd think that rivals or scout would have something posted by now if it had happened.
