With new head coach Jim Harbaugh at the helm, the Michigan Wolverines are playing catch up in recruiting and they are hitting the road hard. When you press, sometimes the message doesn’t come across like you meant it to. MLive’s Nick Baumgardner outlines a mistake they made this week on the recruiting trail….

At that point, Neal's father told U-M's coaching staff to leave the house — he was leaning toward U-M, then threw them out of the house

Neal: "They basically tried to call me stupid in my own house." … Apparently Michigan offended the Neal family quite a bit there
