As expected, Khalid Kareem commits to Notre Dame.

This might mean our chances with Carlo Kemp get even better. Kareem never seemed to really be in play for UofM, but at least his commitment elsewhere might help us land a top-notch DE/Buck recruit like Kemp.

The story I heard was that he was a silent commit who switched to Bama at the last second. I imagine that rubbed Harbaugh the wrong way.

Kind of like why I suspect we stopped pursuing Chris Clark.

Depends on how they're recruiting Kemp and what they're recruiting Kemp for.  That said, UM is basically offering him a shot at what should be the D's glamour position.  Have to think that's a help no matter which way you slice it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Harbaugh completely stopped recruiting him after he commited to Bama.  There are too many other very good kids left on the recruiting board to mess around with someone who isn't serious about coming to Michigan.

I don't love in-state talent going anywhere but Ann Arbor but I wish him well.

Funny thing is someday Michigan might meet Notre Dame again in a playoff/nonconference game and Harbaugh in company will get the opportunity to show Mr. Kareem what he's missing out on.

I believe this is a mistake on Maizenbrew's part.  This is their prediction list and I think they have one too many guys bolded....Kemp.  None of the major recruiting sites have Kemp committed, but I do believe it is only a matter of time before he becomes a Wolverine.  Knock on wood.  As Wolverine fans, we know all too well that there is no such thing as a sure thing....

When I first glanced at the title, I thought it said Kareem Walker commits to ND.
This was me (probably all purple faced a la Brian Kelly) - MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Wolverine! More and more of our 4-5* players are ending up on other schools teams. This year especially. Kareem and Hayes back on the market and we can't even secure a visit? Seems interesting to me.
