usf and michigan do not go after the same players

Sure they do, however in most cases recruits will pick Michigan over USF.  USF "go[es] after the same players]" by offering scholarships to 4 & 5 star recruits with offers from many high profile programs, including Michigan.

My first thought is that CWT will have his own spring practices he'll be running or prepping for, and 2nd thought is since we're not scheduled to play Michigan in the coming months or years, it probably wouldn't be a big deal if he was there.  

Agreed, but my point is that this isn't the mindset of JH, despite their friendship.

Right...just across the country at a school that happens to have the most 4- and 5-star recruits in the nation.  Yep, that's exactly the same as us going to a deserted baseball practice facility a few hours away.

why didn't we go to img last year, weren't we in talks with them to do the same thing?

For IMG, it may be as simple as a nice paycheck and the "illusion" of Michigan needing a warm place to run. We have neither the illusion nor the bankroll to just take a team trip across the country. But you can bet CWT is beating on the home-loyalty drum as best he can. Until we have consistent winning seasons and get nat'l attention again, the drum just isn't very loud.

There is a significant difference between "offering" and "recruiting". Michigan coaches spend their time with those 4 and 5 star recruits.  Jim Harbaugh even had a sleepover at one kids house so he wouldn't choose Meatchicken over OSU.

 Why didn't he just pull the offer?

No idea what that means.  My point is USF doesn't "recruit" the same players as Michigan.  CWT wasn't spending hours and hours on the phone and in person with Rayshon Gary.

On phone so couldn't highlight the last sentence in your post that my response was responding to.

Wow, creeping a kid and his family out to keep him out of your school, that's dedication. Good thing he didn't get arrested

Kind of silly to offer without recruiting wouldn't you say?  Like inviting someone for a three course meal and only offering them the dessert.
