Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout). He's hoping to re-schedule a camp visit to Michigan.</p> <p> We knew FL OL <b>Tony Posada</b> was <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/wednesday-recruitin-6-9-10">very interested in Michigan</a>, but I hadn't realized the Wolverines were <a href="http://www.volnation.com/2010/06/14/florida-qb-receiving-interest-from-tennessee/">his first offer</a>. He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

I think He knows we are in need of a beast LB and i think he fits that spot, he may be considered a long shot but i personally think we have a good shot. I'm sad about Marquise williams not taking the visit and hurting our chances landing him, but we could get Cardale jones or Kevin Sousa. Looks good on LB and OL which is actually awesome.

RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year. Yes I know we only have room for a small class, but no one can doubt we have sunk considerably as a talent destination since the pro style factory days.</p> <p> This upcoming season is enormous on so many levels. RichRod's job - our brutal schedule bodes ill for RichRod if he goes 6-6 or worse. 7-5 or better and he should be OK. Also, recruiting.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here. GO BLUE.</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518950&1=default&2=en&3=" token="nFPAg8UArWFz7cpdBkrNGRBdtCTCQyfF0_sxJp64Fhg"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="9348" id="comment-519041" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment clearfix role-basic_user role-trusted_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" class="profile"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" hreflang="en"> </a> </div> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518950#comment-518950" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Tim it's your blog and I</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><span lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype>aaamichfan</span></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276747962"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041#comment-519041">June 17th, 2010 at 12:12 AM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-17T04:12:42+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> It is way too early to begin worrying about this recruiting class.

RR has recruited players who can run. The fact that RR has been able to reel in talents despite the fact that the on the field result is dismal is amazing. Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p> With camps and unofficial visits in full swing, news is coming in fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout).

He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here.

Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p> With camps and unofficial visits in full swing, news is coming in fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout). He's hoping to re-schedule a camp visit to Michigan.</p> <p> We knew FL OL <b>Tony Posada</b> was <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/wednesday-recruitin-6-9-10">very interested in Michigan</a>, but I hadn't realized the Wolverines were <a href="http://www.volnation.com/2010/06/14/florida-qb-receiving-interest-from-tennessee/">his first offer</a>. He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

I think He knows we are in need of a beast LB and i think he fits that spot, he may be considered a long shot but i personally think we have a good shot. I'm sad about Marquise williams not taking the visit and hurting our chances landing him, but we could get Cardale jones or Kevin Sousa. Looks good on LB and OL which is actually awesome.

Lloyd who'd outrecruit most everyone with his pro style factory, then play conservative, never outcoach anyone, and basically say "I'll out talent you because I've outrecruited you," and thus typically lose to equal/superior talent teams with better coaches.</p> <p> OR</p> <p> 2. RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year. Yes I know we only have room for a small class, but no one can doubt we have sunk considerably as a talent destination since the pro style factory days.</p> <p> This upcoming season is enormous on so many levels. RichRod's job - our brutal schedule bodes ill for RichRod if he goes 6-6 or worse. 7-5 or better and he should be OK. Also, recruiting. We simply can't go another year of utter mediocrity or it may echo on our recruiting for years, this year appearing to be the first such echo.</p> <p> Dear God please give us some good luck just this one year. Bless GRob with the wisdom to solve the Big 10 offenses, and our young QBs the wisdom to solve Big 10 defenses, oh, and ND and UCONN's too...</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518486&1=default&2=en&3=" token="dW9QQZW-eSOgXwnzx5mpIgk07CEfm3CGI2hgKwW0oyY"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="982" id="comment-518518" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518518" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment by-node-author clearfix role-trusted_user role-basic_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" class="profile"> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518486#comment-518486" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Amazing</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Tim</a></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276716314"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518518#comment-518518">June 16th, 2010 at 3:25 PM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-16T19:25:14+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> I don't know where to start with this.</p> <p> It's not like Rich isn't trying to get top talent, he just hasn't been able to thanks to the whole 8-16 thing.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here. GO BLUE.</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518950&1=default&2=en&3=" token="nFPAg8UArWFz7cpdBkrNGRBdtCTCQyfF0_sxJp64Fhg"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="9348" id="comment-519041" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment clearfix role-basic_user role-trusted_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" class="profile"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" hreflang="en"> </a> </div> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518950#comment-518950" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Tim it's your blog and I</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><span lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype>aaamichfan</span></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276747962"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041#comment-519041">June 17th, 2010 at 12:12 AM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-17T04:12:42+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> It is way too early to begin worrying about this recruiting class.

RR has recruited players who can run. The fact that RR has been able to reel in talents despite the fact that the on the field result is dismal is amazing. Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout).

He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here.

Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p> With camps and unofficial visits in full swing, news is coming in fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout). He's hoping to re-schedule a camp visit to Michigan.</p> <p> We knew FL OL <b>Tony Posada</b> was <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/wednesday-recruitin-6-9-10">very interested in Michigan</a>, but I hadn't realized the Wolverines were <a href="http://www.volnation.com/2010/06/14/florida-qb-receiving-interest-from-tennessee/">his first offer</a>. He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

I think He knows we are in need of a beast LB and i think he fits that spot, he may be considered a long shot but i personally think we have a good shot. I'm sad about Marquise williams not taking the visit and hurting our chances landing him, but we could get Cardale jones or Kevin Sousa. Looks good on LB and OL which is actually awesome.

Lloyd who'd outrecruit most everyone with his pro style factory, then play conservative, never outcoach anyone, and basically say "I'll out talent you because I've outrecruited you," and thus typically lose to equal/superior talent teams with better coaches.</p> <p> OR</p> <p> 2. RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year. Yes I know we only have room for a small class, but no one can doubt we have sunk considerably as a talent destination since the pro style factory days.</p> <p> This upcoming season is enormous on so many levels. RichRod's job - our brutal schedule bodes ill for RichRod if he goes 6-6 or worse. 7-5 or better and he should be OK. Also, recruiting. We simply can't go another year of utter mediocrity or it may echo on our recruiting for years, this year appearing to be the first such echo.</p> <p> Dear God please give us some good luck just this one year. Bless GRob with the wisdom to solve the Big 10 offenses, and our young QBs the wisdom to solve Big 10 defenses, oh, and ND and UCONN's too...</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518486&1=default&2=en&3=" token="dW9QQZW-eSOgXwnzx5mpIgk07CEfm3CGI2hgKwW0oyY"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="982" id="comment-518518" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518518" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment by-node-author clearfix role-trusted_user role-basic_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" class="profile"> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518486#comment-518486" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Amazing</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Tim</a></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276716314"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518518#comment-518518">June 16th, 2010 at 3:25 PM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-16T19:25:14+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> I don't know where to start with this.</p> <p> It's not like Rich isn't trying to get top talent, he just hasn't been able to thanks to the whole 8-16 thing.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here. GO BLUE.</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518950&1=default&2=en&3=" token="nFPAg8UArWFz7cpdBkrNGRBdtCTCQyfF0_sxJp64Fhg"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="9348" id="comment-519041" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment clearfix role-basic_user role-trusted_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" class="profile"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" hreflang="en"> </a> </div> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518950#comment-518950" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Tim it's your blog and I</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><span lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype>aaamichfan</span></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276747962"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041#comment-519041">June 17th, 2010 at 12:12 AM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-17T04:12:42+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> It is way too early to begin worrying about this recruiting class.

RR has recruited players who can run. The fact that RR has been able to reel in talents despite the fact that the on the field result is dismal is amazing. Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p> With camps and unofficial visits in full swing, news is coming in fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout).

He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here.

Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p> With camps and unofficial visits in full swing, news is coming in fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout). He's hoping to re-schedule a camp visit to Michigan.</p> <p> We knew FL OL <b>Tony Posada</b> was <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/wednesday-recruitin-6-9-10">very interested in Michigan</a>, but I hadn't realized the Wolverines were <a href="http://www.volnation.com/2010/06/14/florida-qb-receiving-interest-from-tennessee/">his first offer</a>. He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

I think He knows we are in need of a beast LB and i think he fits that spot, he may be considered a long shot but i personally think we have a good shot. I'm sad about Marquise williams not taking the visit and hurting our chances landing him, but we could get Cardale jones or Kevin Sousa. Looks good on LB and OL which is actually awesome.

Lloyd who'd outrecruit most everyone with his pro style factory, then play conservative, never outcoach anyone, and basically say "I'll out talent you because I've outrecruited you," and thus typically lose to equal/superior talent teams with better coaches.</p> <p> OR</p> <p> 2. RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year. Yes I know we only have room for a small class, but no one can doubt we have sunk considerably as a talent destination since the pro style factory days.</p> <p> This upcoming season is enormous on so many levels. RichRod's job - our brutal schedule bodes ill for RichRod if he goes 6-6 or worse. 7-5 or better and he should be OK. Also, recruiting. We simply can't go another year of utter mediocrity or it may echo on our recruiting for years, this year appearing to be the first such echo.</p> <p> Dear God please give us some good luck just this one year. Bless GRob with the wisdom to solve the Big 10 offenses, and our young QBs the wisdom to solve Big 10 defenses, oh, and ND and UCONN's too...</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518486&1=default&2=en&3=" token="dW9QQZW-eSOgXwnzx5mpIgk07CEfm3CGI2hgKwW0oyY"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="982" id="comment-518518" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518518" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment by-node-author clearfix role-trusted_user role-basic_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" class="profile"> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518486#comment-518486" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Amazing</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Tim</a></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276716314"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518518#comment-518518">June 16th, 2010 at 3:25 PM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-16T19:25:14+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> I don't know where to start with this.</p> <p> It's not like Rich isn't trying to get top talent, he just hasn't been able to thanks to the whole 8-16 thing.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here. GO BLUE.</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518950&1=default&2=en&3=" token="nFPAg8UArWFz7cpdBkrNGRBdtCTCQyfF0_sxJp64Fhg"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="9348" id="comment-519041" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment clearfix role-basic_user role-trusted_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" class="profile"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" hreflang="en"> </a> </div> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518950#comment-518950" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Tim it's your blog and I</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><span lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype>aaamichfan</span></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276747962"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041#comment-519041">June 17th, 2010 at 12:12 AM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-17T04:12:42+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> It is way too early to begin worrying about this recruiting class.

RR has recruited players who can run. The fact that RR has been able to reel in talents despite the fact that the on the field result is dismal is amazing. Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p> With camps and unofficial visits in full swing, news is coming in fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout).

He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here.

Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p> With camps and unofficial visits in full swing, news is coming in fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout). He's hoping to re-schedule a camp visit to Michigan.</p> <p> We knew FL OL <b>Tony Posada</b> was <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/wednesday-recruitin-6-9-10">very interested in Michigan</a>, but I hadn't realized the Wolverines were <a href="http://www.volnation.com/2010/06/14/florida-qb-receiving-interest-from-tennessee/">his first offer</a>. He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

I think He knows we are in need of a beast LB and i think he fits that spot, he may be considered a long shot but i personally think we have a good shot. I'm sad about Marquise williams not taking the visit and hurting our chances landing him, but we could get Cardale jones or Kevin Sousa. Looks good on LB and OL which is actually awesome.

Lloyd who'd outrecruit most everyone with his pro style factory, then play conservative, never outcoach anyone, and basically say "I'll out talent you because I've outrecruited you," and thus typically lose to equal/superior talent teams with better coaches.</p> <p> OR</p> <p> 2. RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year. Yes I know we only have room for a small class, but no one can doubt we have sunk considerably as a talent destination since the pro style factory days.</p> <p> This upcoming season is enormous on so many levels. RichRod's job - our brutal schedule bodes ill for RichRod if he goes 6-6 or worse. 7-5 or better and he should be OK. Also, recruiting. We simply can't go another year of utter mediocrity or it may echo on our recruiting for years, this year appearing to be the first such echo.</p> <p> Dear God please give us some good luck just this one year. Bless GRob with the wisdom to solve the Big 10 offenses, and our young QBs the wisdom to solve Big 10 defenses, oh, and ND and UCONN's too...</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518486&1=default&2=en&3=" token="dW9QQZW-eSOgXwnzx5mpIgk07CEfm3CGI2hgKwW0oyY"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="982" id="comment-518518" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518518" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment by-node-author clearfix role-trusted_user role-basic_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" class="profile"> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518486#comment-518486" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Amazing</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/tim" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Tim</a></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276716314"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518518#comment-518518">June 16th, 2010 at 3:25 PM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-16T19:25:14+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> I don't know where to start with this.</p> <p> It's not like Rich isn't trying to get top talent, he just hasn't been able to thanks to the whole 8-16 thing.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here. GO BLUE.</p> </div> <div class="comment__footer"> <div class="comment__user-data"> <p class="joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> 10/02/2008</p> <p class="mgopoints"> <strong>MGoPoints:</strong> 157</p> </div> <div class="comment__actions"> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderLinks" arguments="0=518950&1=default&2=en&3=" token="nFPAg8UArWFz7cpdBkrNGRBdtCTCQyfF0_sxJp64Fhg"></drupal-render-placeholder> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="indented"> <article role="article" data-comment-user-id="9348" id="comment-519041" about="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041" typeof="schema:Comment" class="comment js-comment clearfix role-basic_user role-trusted_user"> <footer class="comment__meta"> <article typeof="schema:Person" about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" class="profile"> <div class="field field--name-user-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" hreflang="en"> </a> </div> </article> <p class="visually-hidden">In reply to <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/518950#comment-518950" class="permalink" rel="bookmark" hreflang="en">Tim it's your blog and I</a> by <a title="View user profile." href="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/wolverine90" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype class="username">Wolverine90</a></p> </footer> <div class="comment__content"> <div data-history-node-id="37983"> <p class="comment__author"><span rel="schema:author"><span lang about="https://mgoblog.com/users/aaamichfan" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype>aaamichfan</span></span> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1276747962"></mark></p> <p class="comment__time"> <a href="https://mgoblog.com/comment/519041#comment-519041">June 17th, 2010 at 12:12 AM <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2010-06-17T04:12:42+00:00" class="rdf-meta hidden"></span> </a> <span class="collapse">^</span> </p> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p> It is way too early to begin worrying about this recruiting class.

RR has recruited players who can run. The fact that RR has been able to reel in talents despite the fact that the on the field result is dismal is amazing. Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.

fast and furious. Check out the all-time updates on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board</a>.</p> <h3> Linebackin'</h3> <p> </p> <p> KY LB <b>Lamar Dawson</b> (at right) plans to visit Michigan this summer, <a href="http://tharinger.com/site/LamarDawson.htm">he told ThaRinger.com</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Dawson has a few visits scheduled this summer and will also showcase his skills on the national stage in July. “I’m just going to visit a couple places. I’m gonna go to Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois and I might go to Arkansas. I got invited to this Gridiron Kings by ESPN. That’s in July, it’s a 7-on-7 camp.”</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is currently outside his top four, which consists of Kentucky, USC, Louisville, and Florida. However, the Wolverines have a chance to make up ground when he hits campus. <em>Box of M.E.S.S.</em> also talked to Dawson, and he's <a href="http://boxofmess.com/2010/06/10/lamar-dawson-kentuckys-top/">not down on Michigan</a> for the subpar record the past couple years:</p> <blockquote> <p> <strong>Michigan was overall 5-7-0 and 1-7-0 in their conference, could last years record affect your decision or will you give them an opportunity no matter what?</strong></p> <p> Dawson: I’m going to give them a chance because they have the most wins in NCAA history so they know how to win all they need is the right players to do it.</p> </blockquote> <p> Vaught's Views also provides some <a href="http://www.amnews.com/stories/2010/06/10/spo.182340.sto">recruiting fluff</a> on Dawson, mostly related to Kentucky's attempts to keep him in-state.</p> <p> VA LB <b>Curtis Grant</b> plans to <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/curtis-grant-readies-visits">visit Michigan in August</a>. He also gives Tom a brief rundown of his game:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I'm going to try to work on everything as a player. One of my strengths is being able to read and attack. I also think I need to be the leader on the field. I call the plays, and keep the team motivated, so that's important. I really see myself as that kind of player at the next level, too. I like being the leader," he told me.</p> </blockquote> <p> He's a highly-regarded prospect, and a visit is a good sign.</p> <p> OH LB <b>Sean Duggan</b> visited Ann Arbor recently, and he came away enthused, as <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-sean-duggan-update">he tells Tom</a>. Michigan is now in his top 3.</p> <p> Michigan <a href="http://www.roanoke.com/sports/notebookplus/wb/250075">makes the top 5</a> of VA LB/DE <strong>Corey Marshall,</strong> but Tennessee and Virginia Tech seem to have the edge.</p> <p> PA LB <b>Armstead Williams</b> holds a Michigan offer and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=rivals-359421">plans to visit</a> at the end of this month.</p> <h3> There Shall Be Only One (Quarterback)</h3> <p> It seems as though this is starting to become a weekly feature, at least until Michigan lands their quarterback in the class of 2011. With only one spot available at the position, and very few offers out, it's worth keeping an eye on.</p> <p> A couple shakeups in the past week then, as we bid Happy Trails to FL QB <b>Jerrard Randall</b>, who has <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/jerrard-randall-oregon&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i1:lt:e1:p0:t1276555352:&cd=JGDBF19iBrM&usg=AFQjCNEQb2KV9lkLQtSuGhuShkG01jt9pA">committed to Oregon</a>. No word on whether teammates and fellow Michigan offerees FL S Jonathan Aiken and FL WR Curt Evans are likely to follow.</p> <p> I was going to write a long segment about how Randall's commitment could have a positive effect on Michigan's recruitment of AZ QB <b>Brett Hundley—</b>who had been favoring the Ducks—but he <a href="http://www.recruitforu.com/content/qb-brett-hundley-has-top-five">eliminated Michigan yesterday</a>.</p> <p> VA QB <b>Marquise Williams</b> has <a href="http://virginiatech.scout.com/2/976618.html">accelerated his decision timetable</a> ($, info in header). Since he won't get the chance to visit Michigan before that commitment, it looks like the Wolverines may be on the outside looking in.</p> <p> </p> <p> So where are we now? OH QB <b>Cardale Jones</b> is the only quarterback prospect still out there who is holding an offer. This makes it much more likely that FL QB <b>Kevin Sousa</b> (seen at right) eventually lands that coveted letter from Rich Rodriguez. In fact, I suspect the coaching staff may be holding off because they think he'd immediately jump on it, leaving them out of luck with the prospects they like a little more. He continues to rack up mid-level offers, and <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-update-kevin-sousa-lake-nona,0,4229202.story">Colorado State is the latest</a>. His skill set sounds very good for Michigan's system. Though he's a project, Michigan has time to let him develop behind Forcier, Robinson, and Gardner.</p> <h3> Additional Happy Trails-ing.</h3> <p> FL WR <b>Ja'Juan Story</b>, who had previously seemed pretty enthusiastic about Michigan, has <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=newberg_jamie&id=5288955">eliminated the Wolverines</a> in his most recent cut.</p> <p> SC WR Charone Peake <a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/69014/sn100_wr_peake_commits_to_clemson">committed to Clemson</a>.</p> <p> Happy Trails to NJ OL <b>Shane Mertz</b>, who committed to Northwestern.</p> <p> Happy Trails, WI DT <b>Donte Phillips</b>. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=http://blogs.heraldtimesonline.com/iusp/%3Fp%3D8871&ct=ga&cad=:s7:f2:v0:i2:lt:e0:p0:t1276356209:&cd=vGloOsVIQMQ&usg=AFQjCNGLmYd6AXxQwuPkTcq6IZKRIv5P9g">Committed to Indiana</a>. He was squarely in the "sad josh" category, so his coming off the board is not a big negative.</p> <p> Happy Trails, FL S <b>Jabari Gorman</b>. He has narrowed his list to <a href="http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/976167.html">a final three</a>: Alabama, Miami, and Ohio State ($, info in header).</p> <p> OH WR <b>Devin Smith</b> recently picked up an Ohio State offer, so we could be bidding him adieu soon. For now, he remains on the board.</p> <h3> New Offers, Enthusiastic Recruits</h3> <p> OH DE/DT/OL <b>Jack Miller</b> <a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=kurelic_bill&id=5284802">visited Michigan</a> a couple days ago, and managed to head out of Ann Arbor with an <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/977363.html">offer in hand</a> ($, info in header). Michigan likes him on offensive line, which is where I'd had him projected on the <a href="http://mgoblog.com/content/2011-michigan-football-recruiting-board-1">recruiting board</a>. His offer list is actually much more impressive than you'd expect, given his rankings:</p> <blockquote> <p> Miller estimates his scholarship offer total to stand at between 20 and 25. His list includes Michigan State, Boston College, Illinois, Northwestern, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Stanford, Louisville and Syracuse.</p> </blockquote> <p> Big East and ACC aren't exactly SEC, Big... uh... 10 or Pac... 11, but significantly more impressive than MAC. Jamie Mac of <a href="http://www.justcoverblog.com">Just Cover</a> turned me on to Miller a while back, including some Toledo INSIDERZ information:</p> <blockquote> <p> I am sure you are on top of things, but the Toledo grapevine is buzzing that Jake Miller, a OT/DE recruit from Toledo St John's will be getting a Michigan offer pretty much any day now. He'll probably get an OSU offer shortly thereafter.</p> <p> I have no idea if he's leaning in any direction, but he [has said] that a Michigan offer would be a game changer for him in the recruiting process.</p> </blockquote> <p> Should we be on commitment watch? Tom also <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-jack-miller">interviewed Miller</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> JACK: [I]t's safe to say that Michigan and Boston College are my top two... I have the offers I want, so it's time to decide. I'm really going to thin it out this week, and I'll hopefully have the decision made by the end of the week.</p> </blockquote> <p> Commitment watch indeed. Miller should either be a Wolverine or an Eagle by the end of the week. There's also more in Tom's post about his connection to another Wolverine target from Ohio.</p> <p> In other "Recently Offered and Michigan Probably Holds a Healthy Lead" news, MI LB <b>Ed Davis</b> <a href="http://michigan.scout.com/2/977789.html">heard the good news</a> from Rich Rodriguez over the weekend ($, info in header), and he has Michigan atop his list. He may not commit immediately, but conventional wisdom has him <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/16041969067">joining the Maize and Blue</a>. He was one of the more impressive prospects at the Michigan Football Showcase.</p> <p> [<em>Ed:</em> Davis attends Detroit Southeastern, a school that Michigan has had extreme difficulty recruiting of late. With the departure of Archie Collins to be a Michigan State video coordinator, Southeastern looks like it will be friendlier in the future.]</p> <p> <a href="http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1092556">Michigan has offered</a> IN OL <b>Nick Martin</b> ($, info in header).</p> <h3> Chris Rock (Still) Goes Blue</h3> <p> The Columbus media has finally gotten around to covering OH DE <b>Chris Rock</b>'s commitment to Michigan:</p> <blockquote> <p> "Chris is excited," Stallions coach Ryan Wiggins said. "He ended up with 20-plus BCS offers and he just felt very comfortable with Michigan. We have a player there and our football community is pretty tight-knit, so I think Patrick helped recruit him there."</p> </blockquote> <p> Wiggins also talked briefly about <a href="http://www.columbuslocalnews.com/articles/2010/06/14/multiple_papers/sports/allnnchris_20100614_0131pm_3.txt">what Chris brings to the team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Rock has impressed as a defensive end and a tight end in his time at DeSales but may bulk up to the point where he could see time on the interior of the D-line at the collegiate level.</p> <p> "I think he's a versatile enough kid that he can do a lot of things," Wiggins explained. "That's one of the reasons he's so good. I think the question will be how much bigger he'll get. That'll be up to the guys at the next level." ...</p> <p> "He's big and he's very athletic for his size," Wiggins said of the 6-foot-5 Rock. "That's the biggest thing. I think he's a fast learner, too. He plays fundamentally sound and he's coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> If Rock is healthy this season, he could rocket up the rankings.</p> <h3> Miscellany</h3> <p class="articleGraf"> The recruitment of FL RB <b>Demetrius Hart</b> takes another turn, as he now plans to <a href="http://crimsonconfidential.com/news/articles/2010/6/11/hart-to-wait-until-january-to-decide-between-bama-auburn-michigan">wait until January</a> to make a commitment.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> A couple different sources evaluate FL WR <b>Curt "Spiffy" Evans</b>. First, <a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2010/06/herald-spotlight-curt-evans.html">the <i>Miami Herald</i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> From the first time he handled the ball at the youth football level at Northeast Hollywood, there was little doubt that this was going to be a future standout on the gridiron.</p> <p> Speed, athletic ability and a knack of reading defenses has provided this quality football player an opportunity to get noticed.</p> <p> After starting his career at Hollywood South Broward, his decision to attend Chaminade-Madonna has worked out as college coaches have had the chance to watch him catch balls and lead the team on offense, and now as he heads toward his final year, look for him to play defensive back and fill a void at running back.</p> </blockquote> <p> ...and newly-formed Minnesota blog <a href="http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?page_id=770">I'm In Love With A Fringe Bowl Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> Curt can make cuts on a dime and showcases outstanding body control to not only make difficult catches in traffic, diving and stretching for poorly thrown balls, but he also makes lethal jump cuts that make him a nightmare to bring down in the open field...</p> <p> In route running, Evans closes the gap on the zone defender quickly and makes a fast, fluid break to get open. Gets up the seam in a hurry and makes the tough over-the-shoulder catch look easy.</p> </blockquote> <p> As noted above, his teammate Jerrard Randall committed to Oregon, so the package deal is off the table. He <a href="http://twitter.com/TomVH/status/15788539730">won't be at Michigan's camp</a>, but hopes to visit at some point this summer.</p> <p> MI WR <b>Jermal Hosley</b>, a prospect at the slot position has <a href="http://recruiting.scout.com/2/976033.html">received his first offer</a>, from Ball State (free on Scout).

He'll camp this weekend, and if he <i>really</i> likes Michigan, <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh-camp-visitors-weekend">may even commit</a>.</p> <p> IL OL <b>Rafe Kiely</b> attended Michigan's Elite Camp, and followed it up with <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">an impressive performance</a> at a Chicago Under Armour Combine:</p> <blockquote> <p> "I thought I did extremely well at Michigan and that carried over today," said Kiely, who carries a 4.2 GPA. "There's a lot of competition out there for scholarships and I'm looking to prove myself worthy this summer by attending the camps and combines."</p> <p> "I really liked Rafe Kiely," [Under Armour O-line Coach Mike] Barry said. "He's got what it takes to be a solid guard at the D-I level. Rafe moves well, he competes his tail off and he's extremely coachable."</p> </blockquote> <p> He hasn't been offered yet, but keep an eye out for him.</p> <p> IL DE <b>James Adeyanju</b> holds a Michigan offer, but <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=5264159">he currently favors</a> Illinois, Arizona, Boston College, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.</p> <p> PA CB <b>Kyshoen Jarrett</b> finally got the Penn State offer he was waiting for, but that doesn't mean he's going to commit to the Nittany Lions any time soon:</p> <blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> There won't a be rush to make a decision. Jarrett plans on taking his allotment of five official visits and going from there.</p> <p class="articleGraf"> "I've been hearing a lot of people who are very protective, a lot of guidance, saying commit before the season," Jarrett said. "I do want to take my officials though out of the top five that I have by then and honestly I'm just going to pray on it. Hopefully whatever happens happens and I get my answer."</p> </blockquote> <p class="articleGraf"> I get the strong vibe that whatever happens will indeed happen, so Jarrett will get his wish.</p> <p> Tom <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/interview-brandon-phelps">interviewed</a> MD ATH <b>Brandon Phelps</b>:</p> <blockquote> <p> TOM: You said most schools are recruiting you for defense. Which schools are recruiting you the hardest right now?</p> <p> BRANDON: Probably UCLA, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State...</p> <p> TOM: Where does Michigan fit into that? Are they getting a visit?</p> <p> BRANDON: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to try to get up there; they're on my list. Growing up I really liked Braylon Edwards, and I watched them on TV, so I've been following ever since. My coach said the Big House is unbelievable, because he's been there for a game. He told me that whenever I visit, he's coming with me.</p> </blockquote> <p> Michigan is looking at Phelps as a safety or slot receiver.</p> <p> For updates on NC LB <b>Kris Frost</b> (camping this weekend), FL OL <b>James Elliott</b>, and FL Slot <b>Prince Holloway</b>, check out <a href="http://mgoblog.com/diaries/weekly-recruiting-update-614">Tom's Monday update</a>.

RichRod who's not outrecruiting anyone, with his spread, and basically saying "I'll out coach you and win once I have event 3 star level depth at all positions?"</p> <p> The wear and tear of the last two years is starting to show on the recruiting trail this year.

I love RichRod, and have defended him to anyone/everyone who wants to get into it. RichRod had two strong recruiting classes and I was just as pleased as you. But I was speaking to this recruiting year, which is shaping up very poorly so far relative to the Michigan standard I grew accustomed to over the last three decades of following UM. While yeah, the world knows this is a small class in terms of spots, is my concern that poor performance is potentially beginning to impact recruiting "completely wrong" as you say? No, in fact it's pretty obvious RR needs to start winning, not only for himself, but because it will help him defend UM's record as a top recruiting destination.</p> <p> My comments about Lloyd are entirely true with regard to his last several years as a coach. Every formidable team faced, we usually lost or barely squeaked a lucky win - Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, USC. Who did we beat? Just Penn State and barely. Two games summed it up for me:</p> <p> 1. USC Rose Bowl where after the game USC players joked "Same ole Michigan, we pretty much knew what they were goign to do." due to Lloyd's inability to offer any diversity to his team's offering. </p> <p> 2. Oregon where Lloyd and staff were so severely outcoached, that that game alone may quite possibly explain why Martin became so enamored with bringing an imaginative, spread attack coach.</p> <p> Say what you must but I'll stick to my guns that over his last several years, Lloyd would usually get outcoached when the talent was equal or better. His early years? Yes, he was a good coach. It just seems the game passed him by.</p> <p> Finally, my observation that we've gone from a team with traditionally better talent, that, in Lloyd's last years would outtalent but not outcoach, to a team without better talent, who must now outcoach, has some accuracy to it.</p> <p> Hey if this site is only about us UM fans only making positive comments and not speaking our true minds, let me know and I'll bail, but while you guys bag on me, do know, I love RR, I defend him to the world, and I root for UM as much as anyone here.

Imagine once Michigan starts winning under RR(and they will), Michigan will become a recruiting machine alas USC or Florida where they consistently reel in 4*-5* talents.

Michigan Fans are not used this kind of thing. Michigan is shifting from a pro-style offense to the Spread Offense. Is a something that takes time. I think RR is readjusting (adjusting) too. Coaching in the Big 10 is no joke. It is not the Big East. I think he is finding that out now.</p> <p> The Michigan Nation needs to be patient. I don't want to be like ND, searching for "the guy". Then firing him to find "the guy" again.</p> <p> Continuity at Michigan is a necessity. Bo is resting in peace. Lloyd Carr is retired. Rich Roderiguez is Michigan's coach. Stop complaining. You can't do anything about it anyway.</p> <p> UM is in year three in this transition, if this team goes 5-7 or 6-6 or worse, I'll lead the "dump the coach" chant.</p> <p> Michigan will win again consistently.
