All-time updates can be found on the 2010 Michigan Football Recruiting Board.

The Final Few

parker.jpg

CA S Sean Parker (pictured at right), who may be slated for the Wolverines, has "officially" narrowed his choices to USC and Cal, along with Michigan.

"These are the three schools that he likes the most and has a good relationship with. And he has enjoyed being there," said Byron Moore, Narbonne's unofficial recruiting coordinator and a close family friend.

He will announce his commitment on Signing Day.

Michigan has gotten in touch with OH DT Jibreel Black ($, info in header). Black is reconsidering his Cincinnati commitment after the Bearcats lost coach Brian Kelly to Notre Dame. He's more of a 3-tech DT, however, and Michigan already has two of those on board. He does have four visits set up ($, info in header), and considering the article was written by a reporter for TheWolverine, I imagine one of those is to Ann Arbor.

Package Deals?

FL DT Todd Chandler decommitted from Miami because he hadn't heard from the Canes, and turned around to commit to South Florida. He's still open, though, and considering Michigan's recruitment of his teammate, FL OL Torrian Wilson, and the need for a nose tackle in this class, he's definitely an option for the Wolverines, especially considering the mystery Miami DT who will visit Ann Arbor ($, info in header) in January.

Michigan is "still on top" for FL DE Clarence Murphy. He and teammate FL CB Tony Grimes will announce around Signing Day, likely for the Wolverines. Don't consider them mortal locks, however, as Grimes will take at least one other visit ($, info in header).

Under Armour Weekend

The High School All-Star Bonanza kicks off this week, as the ESPNU/Under Armour game goes down in Central Florida. The game can be seen on ESPN at 11AM on Saturday.

Devin Gardner (#7 for the Black squad) is the only Michigan commit in the game, but there are a couple other guys that Michigan is still recruiting, or was until recently:

FL OL Torrian Wilson #76 White
FL WR Kenny Shaw #84 White (He'll commit at the game, but probably not to Michigan)
FL DT Todd Chandler #95 White

The Offense-Defense Bowl also goes down this weekend, and FL CB Tony Grimes, who heavily favors Michigan, will suit up for the East Team. The game kicks off at 5PM on Saturday, and can be seen on Fox College Sports.

2011

The 2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board can be found here. A couple new offers come to us FROM THE FUTURE:

SC QB Everett Golson holds a Michigan offer. He was also named the 1st-Team All-State quarterback in South Carolina, and was one of only 4 juniors to make the team.

PA WR Dondi Kirby has been offered by MIchigan ($, info in header), as well as Maryland. I've added him to the recruiting board as an offered prospect.

depiest.gif

OH LB Trey DePriest, a personal MGoFavorite for the class of 2011, comes in for some fluff from JJHuddle:

“It was a good game,” DePriest said. “There were a lot of mistakes, but it was real live up there. Michigan is a good school. They need to get out of the hole they are in. They want me to come up and play early.”

Yes, there is plenty of playing time available for linebackers, believe it or not.

Etc.:

The Toledo Blade's Ryan Autullo talks to Jeremy Crabtree of Rivals, who says Michigan has a solid class, despite the lack of 5-star talent. OH LB Jewone Snow has committed to West Virginia. He'd been trying to wait on a Michigan offer, but one never came through. He's a teammate of 2011 DE Steve Miller, who is committed to Ohio State.

How good is this SC QB for 2011, Golson? Does U-M have any chance at him?

Confidence Is Building!

I'm really starting to have confidence in RR's ability to recruit the right kind of players at Michigan. The star system no longer distracts me. This end of the year push is quite exciting. I wish we had more spots for players. I think UM could pull in seven more players. I'd play for RR!

I want Sean Parker and Tony Grimes, but I'm really intrigued by Todd Chandler and Torrian Wilson package deal. I want them all. When the defense has the athletic studs that swarm and wreak the kind of havoc that Michigan is accustomed to, it will be really fun again to watch the Maize and Blue. Things are really starting come together now!

i hear you....but...

I'm confident that RR will close the recruiting season well, but I'm not sure about your comment that the "star system no longer distracts" you...

If that were the case, why do you only list high-star players as targets? Frankly, I (and likely almost everyone else) wants those players as well...but it's because they are highly sought after recruits. And...we'd have more spots (as you (and I) wish) if RR started the recruiting season differently.
In any event, here's to hoping the 2-stars turn into all-americans...and the big names still turn BLUE!

Adam James - the kid who whined too much...

I wonder how this kid is holding up? His teammates have got to want to kick this kid's shit in. Can you say transfer? No! Not to Michigan you little brat.

Sorry Cap

I just thought he might consider transfering now that he's the reason a head coach was dismissed... so I put it on the thread. Just being a wise ass. Sorry.

Who is Shaw leaning towards?

If not Michigan, is it Tenn or South Carolina?

BTW: Did Ricardo and Shaw play together two season's ago? Are they still tight?

Recruiting Class

I'll admit it, I was once not very happy with this recruiting class. I thought since we had all these three stars it wasn't a good class. I couldn't be more wrong though, the players we have seem like they can be really good and it looks like we are going to finish strong.

confident

I'm not a RR fan, but I have confidence that he'll finish the class with a flurry. I think he realizes that he unnecesarily loaded the class with slot receivers early, but he's done a nice job shifting focus to areas of need.

It still looks like it'll take a couple years for our D to stop a pee-wee team, but the offense might be capable of 40/game (and we'll need it).

Good Class

I'd want to see a couple more DB's or S's... hopefully Sean Parker will be the final exclaimation point on the class. It will be interesting to see what happens on signing day.

Don't get me wrong...

I am all for bringing in Parker and I assume that Grimes is in the fold, but after that, how many more DB's and S do we need in the class. We have Talbott, Avery, Christian, MRob, Vinopal, Johnson, Witty, and possibly Jones if they move him from QB. That would make for 10 recruits in the secondary. I think that should be just fine for one class. With these guys, our need is MLB and NT. Throw in an OL for good measure and I'll be happy, but adding Parker and Grimes is more than enough DB's.

Safties moving to LB

There seems to be a bit of fluidity between the safety position and linebacker. We've already seen Stevie Brown and Mike Jones shift in the last season and speculation about people like M.Robinson being a LB in the long run. Kovacs and Williams are two guys who seem far more effective playing in the box and could be switched as well. I get the sense the coaching staff isn't too hung up on allocating quality athletes to specific positions.

Can we just get one stud safety?

Thinking about players of the decade and absolutely NO safeties come to mind. Can't we just make it a point to get a total stud safety? Just one of these years please?

Look for Louisville to be a player

with Wilson and Chandler. Since Strong tookover, they've received 2 commits from MNW players. The latest a 4* WR.

Overall I have to say I'm

Overall I have to say I'm happy with this class. 3 Stars are really the backbone of a program. You're not going to lure in a constant stream of 4/5 stars (legally at least) as they'll go to where they think they can play right away, as opposed to sittinh behind some other 5 star. As we develop the program and win though I hope to see more top recruits come in, but overall I feel good about us having depth consider we're recruiting based off two losing seasons.

Not to mention those stars are always suspect.
