Cameron Calhoun and Luke Hamilton Have Committed to Michigan Comment Count

Within 24 hours of beating Ohio State in Columbus, Michigan has cemented their recruiting foray into Ohio by scooping up two more commits from that state, one in the 2023 class and one in the 2024 class. The first was CB Cameron Calhoun for the '23 class, a native of Cincinnati: 

Calhoun was a commit to his hometown team, the Cincinnati Bearcats, but reopened his recruitment once P5 teams started paying more attention. Now inside the top 500 of the On3 consensus rankings, Calhoun got an offer from Kentucky and visited the Wildcats last month. Michigan got involved sometime after and closed the gap in a hurry. Calhoun was actually in attendance at The Game yesterday while visiting Ohio State (he did not yet have a proper offer from the Buckeyes), but decided to commit to the Wolverines immediately afterwards. He was later seen celebrating with the Michigan team in Will Johnson's Instagram story. Calhoun is now the first DB in Michigan's 2023 class, a DB group they're trying to cobble together in the final weeks of the recruiting period. 

As for 2024, Michigan landed a pledge from Avon, Ohio's Luke Hamilton, an IOL: 

Hamilton is a 4* prospect, inside the top 250 of both the On3 consensus ranking and the 247 composite. He is the 8th-ranked player in Ohio and the 15th-ranked IOL nationally in the 2024 recruiting class. Hamilton visited Michigan for the MSU game in October and the recruitment heated up quickly afterwards. The Wolverines landed his pledge today, their first offensive prospect for the 2024 class, with Manuel Beigel and Mason Curtis both being on defense. Landing a player of Hamilton's caliber is a good early sign that the 2024 class can be an excellent recruiting class that keeps the program rolling.

It would be so awesome if we start recruiting like Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State have been the past few years. Can you imagine having 20+ 5 stars with our coaching and trajectory?

Most of our key talent in the 90s had Ohio roots as a result of John Cooper’s national recruitment focus.  Tressel knew he had to win more recruits in Ohio to change the narrative.   

Now that order has been restored that Ohio pipeline will continue the momentum our way.   
 

Beat Purdue!!

Speaking of recruiting, Collins Acheampong visited USC for their game yesterday and was a visitor for UCLA last weekend in their game against USC. Considering UM's recent OLB offers to Breeon Ishmail(commit) and Jason Hewlett it may be something worth monitoring.

It's definitely something to monitor but those are also both his local schools. I'm not sure either was really a factor in his recruitment when he chose us. Etta and Acheampong have both taken visits to some more local schools, but their reactions to the win yesterday on social media have me optimistic

Glad we are getting Ohio players again, but the timing seems fickle, doing so only after we beat OSU.  Had we not done so do we get these Ohio players. ?  Don't get me wrong, we need them but don't have to like the timing of it.

I said to an OSU homer friend today, after the last 2 years what o-lineman would wanna come to UM.

His response? Harbaughs weird and he's going to the Colts. And this is why I can't have reasonable conversations with him
