Micah Ka'apana Has Committed To Michigan Comment Count

Alex.Drain June 17th, 2023 at 3:47 PM

Michigan Football has picked up their second 2024 commitment of the weekend today in earning the pledge of 3* RB Micah Ka'apana from Bishop Gorman HS in Las Vegas, NV: 

Ka'apana is a player that the Michigan staff considers to be grossly undervalued, and their willingness to take his commitment now speaks to that. Ka'apana has not gone to many camps and thus has flown largely under the radar, but a staggering 1,000 yards on just 70 carries as a junior(!) suggests he could fly up the rankings with a larger role as a senior this fall. Mike Hart sure thinks so and views him as an ideal complement to existing RB commit Jordan Marshall, a 4* from Ohio. Whether the commitment of Ka'apana takes Michigan out of the hunt for top 100 4* RB Taylor Tatum remains to be seen, but it speaks volumes about their afinity for Ka'apana to add him to the class as a take right now. 

Like I'Marion Stewart yesterday, Ka'apana will have his Hello this upcoming week. There is no content after the jump.

Recruiting services have also come a long way in the last 20 years though. They’re much better at identifying and ranking prospects now than in the past. Mike Hart was also coming out of upstate New York, while this kid is coming out of one of the best high school programs in the country. So while this kid may be undervalued, I’d hesitate to make comparisons to Hart, as their circumstances are very different.
 

This coaching staff is very good at identifying and developing talent. That’s good enough for me.

Kid had 4 carries for 236 yards and 4 TDs in the state title game. And a receiving TD.

Guess he coulda had more yards but they kept running outta field.
