Building Recruiting Pipelines

Submitted by Marley Nowell on

An part of recruiting that I think gets overlooked is the creation of recruiting pipelines.  These are espeicallly important for Michigan Football compared to other schools because a majority of the scholarship players come from outside the state they are located in. RR (along with Ricardo Miller) was on his way to possibly builiding a pipeline to Dr.Phillips HS, but we all know how that turned out. Here a couple of other pipelines from the RR era that I feel the coaching staff should focus on maintaining:

Cass Tech (Detroit, MI)

This one is a no brainer, and with Michigan Alum Coach Wilcher at the helm this pipeline should be solid for years to come. This year is looking to pay off big with both LB Royce Jenkins-Stone and DB Terry Richardson hopefully joining the 2012 Class.

Trotwood-Madison (Trotwood, OH)

There are both players on the football roster recruited by Carr (Moore) and RR (Roundtree, Shaw) from Trotwood that I am hopeful this can continue with the new coaching staff. Establihsing a recruiting pipeline in talent-rich Ohio would also be a boon for years to come. This year the staff may go after a position of need,  S Bam Bradley.

Chaparral (Scottsdale, AZ)

RR started this possible pipeline with Craig "Death" Roh and Taylor Lewan in 2009. Chaparral has a slew of D1 prospects this year and WR Davonte Neal would make a great addition to the 2012 Class.

GO BLUE!
