Dantonio's rule now is the commit has to inform the staff that they are taking a visit. Cupp did not inform the staff and he also lied about working out there when asked if he was going. Other commits attended, but were up front with the staff.
Cupp apparently performed very well, stoning a 5 star DE who is committed to OSU several times. He may eventually get an offer from OSU, he's extremely underrated and very talented. This may have been a case of Meyer misleading the kid though to get him away from MSU.
Dantonio has been through this before and gotten burned so he cut ties with the kid so he wouldn't be left scrambling to find an offensive lineman in December or January. Best of luck to Cupp, it's not like he committed the crime of the century, he simply is a life long OSU fan and really wants that offer. Can't fault the kid, he just should have been more up front with our coaches.
We don'y have a policy about taking visits like Hoke supposedly did (and selectively enforced). I don't blame the kid for wanting an OSU offer but he shouldn't have committed and told MD this was where he wanted to be if that wasn't the case.
If we did have a Hoke type policy, I could see Meyer offering MSU kids and getting them to visit just to try to get their scholarship pulled without offering them
