The mother of Notre Dame defensive lineman Daelin Hayes is disputing a claim made by former Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio that he and assistant coach Curtis Blackwell didn't visit Hayes at his home during the recruiting process.

According to the Detroit News' Tony Paul, Dantonio testified at a January deposition that Blackwell didn't travel along with him to visit recruits at their homes, noting it would've been an NCAA violation.

However, La Keshia Neal provided a sworn affidavit saying Blackwell was part of a group from Michigan State that came to her home in December 2015.
