        If he's not signed, it's not tampering. The early signing period is Nov 8--15 of this year and the regular period is from April 1-August 11, 2018. This is no different than Blake Pietila (the one now in the pros) signing with Tech. In the world of sports, there's no honor amongst thieves!

          In the original post I said he had signed...so who cares about this year's signing period?

            We clearly stated he signed an NLI so its tampering.

              It's not tampering at all! If a player signs his NLI during either signing period and the school doesn't bring him in in the beginning of fall semester. The NLI is nullified and the player can go to any school and like a free agent. I'm friends with Keaton's family and so happy he's going to Michigan now!! Go Blue!

                You're right, he was signed, but since Tech didn't bring him in this year, he had a way out. My mistake.

                  It is not for the next year. The letter of intent binds the player to the institution for 1 year, their first year, whether that is the next year or 3 years down the line. If Pearson did in fact contact a player that had a signed LOI from Tech, while he was coach at Michigan, it is tampering, and it is an NCAA violation.

                  The statute of limitations on a LOI is 4 years from the signing date, according to the link posted above.

                    If he signed in November 2016, then he doesn't have a way out of his LOI, and it is still binding, until November 2020.

                      Who cares about this kid anymore? If he didn't want to play in Houghton, I don't want him on the team anyway.

                      Joe's got a strong list of guys on the roster. I'm sure he will find enough that want to play hard for him.

                        I don't want him on the team either, but it sure would be nice to see some sanctions thrown Michigan's way.

                          Let's just sanction them at the GLI! I would love to see Mel go a long time before getting a W against Tech.

                            I'm going to take a wild guess that Mel and the UM compliance department know the NLI rules far better than I do or anyone else here. Even Tech Hockey Guide seems to think Pehrson had an out. And they're usually pretty accurate.

                              Joe took the right stance on Cates and Pehrson, letting them do what they want. The question is how much communication did either player have with UMD or Michigan before they asked Joe to release them to reopen their recruiting process. I assume Cates could have had non-issue contact through his brother and my guess is Pehrson had communication through Muckalt before he officially became assistant coach. I doubt you could prove anything thats a legit violation.

                              If anyone isn't happy with the coaching change and doesn't want to play for MTU anymore, let them go...we're better off having players that want to be there.

                                I say Tech will lose two more players and looking at there list it's getting a little thin.
