Jake Ryan has COMMITTED to Michigan
The Scout people are reporting that Jake Ryan has committed within the hour.
This makes, I believe, 8 of the top 50 Ohio prospects Michigan commits.
Of course, with Dantonio "outrecruiting" Michigan in the Great Lakes State, this softens the blow.
Well done Rich Rod. This Ryan kid seemed to have been severely underscouted and underrated.

If he is already 6'3" and 220/230, i'd imagine that he'll be 245ish by the time he's a JR... Sounds like a solid ILB to me... I like this one a lot.

Is he going to bring the hot blond from the movie with him? Seriously, welcome Mr. Ryan. Sounds like a pretty solid player making All State in OH. Get him signed and get him to work!

I also like the fact that he can potentially have immediate impact.... I see paskorz, rogers, kinard, wilkins, etc. as players that are big projects who have to grow into their positions... Ryan is a REAL LB no project... no teaching.. i like it

Does anyone else have a feeling that RichRod has already found the LB Coach and the lb coach has found his gems of linebackers and offered them.

This kid will be a beast at Michigan! Welcome home kid its nice to have you in the family.

I don't care about the so called experts and their stars. This kid can play! It is evident that at 6'3 225 he has all of the measurables. He is also very athletic and mean. I watched Mike Taylor's(4* Fl commit) highlight tape right after watching Jake's and the only difference was that Jake is a lot bigger and more physical than Mike.
Great pick up coach!

then I'm quite happy to have a Jake since the one that went to the Dolphins worked out just fine.
Welcome Jake, us rabid fans welcome you and can't wait to see you reach your potential wearing a helmet with wings.

I feel like I am the only one that hasn't read a Clancy book. All of those jokes flew way over my head. At any rate I am very happy about this commitment. Can't wait to see him in the maize and blue.
