@MikeDyer: Colerain senior FB Trayion Durham has verbally committed to Kent State, says Colerain coach Tom Bolden
We had dropped him, so this isn't really a loss. I think Durham had some academic issues which prevented him from going to a FBS school.

good point

Don't give up hope for Cooper yet. If he is on campus, there is a chance.

Well, we might not end up filling up this class after all. It looks like we're down to 6 recruits for 5 spots - and Barnett and Cooper are very much still on the fence.

There could be a couple of unpredictable commits on signing day (not big names, but guys we haven't heard of).

This is fine by me. All the cites had him ranked high, but I was suspicious of his offer sheet. Any FB as good as he's supposed to be should have better offers. This confirms my suspicions, there's just some sort of Demar Dorsey style toxicity around this recruit.

poor grades and test scores are enough to keep schools from actively recruiting talented kids
I submit that that is my
I submit that that is my point. Maybe Dorsey is a poor example, in that whatever was in his past was enough to keep any school from taking him. But my point was that if his grades were enough to keep him out of Wiscy, they should be enough to keep him out of Michigan. I'm fond of the notion that we recruit student-athletes as opposed to athletes to be students. otherwise, why not give up and be the SEC? No disrespect to the lad's skills...but if even the SEC wouldn't offer him, he either wasn't that good, or there was something truly wrotten in the state of Denmark.

Too bad.
All of the sites were really high on him and we're likely to need a good FB in this offense, but we've got a number of guys still considering us, so we can move on. GL to him!
I will agree with that. i
I will agree with that. i wish him well.

A lot of fullbacks are walk
A lot of fullbacks are walk ons. Rivals only rates five every year, fwiw. Durham seemed like more of a big running back than a classic fullback like Aaron Shea that Michigan was known for under Carr.
Joey Kerridge is confirmed as a preferred...
walk-on. They were looking at him hard junior year but he blew out his ACL before senior year. There is an old thread about him somewhere. Anyway he missed his senior year, but just finished he rehab. There was an article today in TC paper that he worked out things with coaching staff to be a preferred walk on. He was, as a junior, pretty explosive for a big guy...could work out nicely.
