You mean the game in which a former #1 overall DE recruit was largely neutralized by the UM offensive line? (Except for that one, you know, play).

Hand

Well, in the past it wouldn't have been shocking for UM to get a player like this. We've gotten lots of good players out of the Virginia/Maryland/DC area (David Terrell and Chris Perry are the first ones that come to mind, plus we have Countess now and Poggi coming in), we have a DC who was recently with the Ravens, and we are historically one of the best football programs in the country.

The best part about this news is he previously had Notre Dame and OSU in his top 10 (http://247sports.com/Article/Nations-Top-2014-Prospect-DaShawn-Hand-Name...).

What can I say, I'm a sadist when it comes to Notre Dame and OSU. I like knowing that our rivals have been definitively eliminated (standard disclaimers about recruiting fickleness, etc.) over the possibility that we may or may not land him.

It's an entertaining part, for sure. He stated Ohio as his #6, which means absolutely nothing for them. It's encouraging because Da'shawn definitely has a good head on his shoulders. He'd be phenomenal on the field and in the classroom, I'm sure. He's got character and talent, a quintessential fit for Michigan.

It's great Michigan is in his list, but
How many times have seen a Southern Kid with Michigan in his list of 5 with the other 4 being Southern schools and Michigan eventually getting him? I can't remember one though maybe there might be one or two. I remember a few during the RR days but they eventually decommitted to a Southern School.
Michigan's future is pretty much in the Midwest followed by the East and possibly some in the West and South.

No - even before RR Michigan recruited well in the South. Greg Mathews, Carlos Brown, Brandon Minor, Chris Perry and Junior Hemingway were all highly sought after recruits from the South. There are plenty more than that too.

I'm pretty sure Virginia is
I'm pretty sure Virginia is
I'm pretty sure Virginia is below the Mason-Dixon Line. Just because it's not in the deep south doesn't mean that it shouldn't count. Kids like to stick to their geographical regions, and I think the point when we talk about the "south" is that it's not in Michigan's geographical region.
I'm hoping it's us but I'll take anyone besides Alabama.
