Michigan loses a three-star wide receiver:

If you're curious, and I know you are, a twitter search for #FreeFatTay did not turn up any results. We are in the dark about Fat Tay and his freedom or lack thereof.

Michigan still has three WR commits in this class: MI WR Andrel Anthony, CA WR Xavier Worthy, and CA WR Christian Dixon. Michigan swooped in late on Anthony and seemed to change his destination from Michigan State; I wonder if they knew Allen was either departing or wobbly when they changed course on Anthony.

Dixon and Anthony are in the same vein as Allen—large-ish outside receivers—while Xavier Worthy is Gattis's annual attempt to recruit Usain Bolt.

There is no content after the jump.

I hope he doesnt end up at MSU. Would be an odd turn of events if we snagged Anthony away from them only to have Allen decommit and join their class.

People who watch film and know more about HS WR play than me; which prospect did you ultimately prefer out of those two?

I'd take Allen for a game tomorrow. Physically he's college ready and has a trait (contested ball guy) that translates at a pretty high rate. 

Anthony still has some developing to do physically but he already looks faster on film to me.

Given the flow of recruiting the more relevant comparison is probably Allen vs. who they get with the open spot.
