It's not preposterous really. Didn't LSU just do the same thing with Logan? Didn't we just try to do the same thing with Byrd and Williams? UM is seeing if the kid really wants to come here and prevent him from getting a chance to get back to FSU. A midweek visit here followed by a weekend visit to FSU would suck. They probably feel like if they can get him here this weekend and he doesn't get a chance to visit FSU again he's theirs to lose.
IF Shavar Manuel told UM "hey I would like to visit but I can only visit midweek" the idea that UM would say "Nope you can't visit" is ****ing retarded. Sure, UM might try to get him to visit on the weekend instead but the idea that UM would tell some elite prospect who has shown no interest in UM that he can't visit because he wants to come on a midweek visit makes no sense.
The kid hasn't had any interest in UM for year(s). It's absurd.
