In home visit from Brady Hoke on Sunday in Seattle for Garnett. Not a good sign for the Cardinal.

Why is that not a good sign? Aren't Shaw and Brian Kelly are doing an in-home visits too?

Michigan fans have their full Lord-of-the-Manor mode engaged. I was just in Ann Arbor (to root for my brother in a tennis match), and I was struck to the extent they've slipped back into their baronial ways. They're not quite as annoying as the University of South Central fans--though that may be because I'm not exposed to them on a regular basis--but I would argue it leads to overconfidence on their part. They haven't lost out on a big recruit to Stanford in the Harbaugh/Shaw era; consequently, the idea of losing to Stanford for a recruit must seem as weird as, say, losing to Appalachian State in football would be. To pick a random example. They've definitely ignored Garnett comments that would seem to weigh heavily against their school (e.g. the "sunny weather" comment from a while ago; or, for example, not noting the extreme tonal difference in interviews given to Michigan sites versus all other sites re: Stanford visit), because they're fans, and fans who expect to win just about everything at all times.

Anyway, I really have no idea what Garnett is doing and I doubt anyone else does either.
