Stephen Hopkins names Michigan the leader

Stephen Hopkins recently visited Texas A&M, and has since said his interest is falling with the Aggies. He told me today that Michigan is number one, and he will definitely be at the Spring Game.

He also told me that Brandon Minor is a player he admires, and loves. The thought of Barwis getting after him excites Hopkins, and he knows he could do well at Michigan.

If he likes what he sees, there could definitely be a commitment either this weekend, or soon after.

He didn't want me to get into why, but he's very concerned about how he will be used. That didn't add up to what A&M was saying. Not playing time, but how he'd be used.

I'm on my phone, so don't kill me over grammar. But yes, we will get a good defensive class. Right now we're in good position for a lot of defensive players. The only concern for me right now, which is still too early anyways, is DT. We will be fine for sure.

Lo Wood, Cullen Christian, Marvin Robinson, Spencer Boyd, LaTwan Anderson, Derrick Bryant, Sharrif Floyd, Caleb Lavey, Luke Muncie, AJ Cann, CJ Olaniyan (interview coming), Dior Mathis.

We're fine.
