College football recruiting has been a pretty cutthroat business for a long time, but there are still lines that coaches should never cross when they are visiting recruits. One member of the Michigan staff found that out the hard way recently when he was thrown out of a recruit's house.

Michigan was trying hard to flip three-star recruit Daishon Neal, the number one recruit from the state of Nebraska, and part of the Cornhuskers' incoming class. Michigan decided to take one last swing at luring the young defensive end to Ann Arbor, but they failed rather spectacularly.
Neal was expected to announce his decision on Tuesday, so Michigan dispatched defensive line coach Greg Mattison to Neal's house to try and give him one final pitch.

However, it was not to be.
Although Neal and his father were clearly impressed by Michigan as a school, they did not particularly appreciate some of the things that were said during the meeting.
And Neal's father wanted to hear nothing further.
Neal also did not care for the Michigan coaches and their pitch.
The recruiter may have been attempting to explain Michigan's high academic standards, but clearly whatever he said came across as insulting, and the Neals had heard enough.
Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan staff will have to do better in the future if they want to keep pace with Urban Meyer's Ohio State Buckeyes.
