“The player development is the main thing I like (about Michigan),” Williams said. “You can see that they develop their players. They get them in the gym and they work them hard. And their hard work pays off.”
FWIW. Michigan doesn't seem inclined to get re-involved.
From Portage Northern.
"He's a hard worker, and he watched me and Tim (Hardaway Jr.) and Nik (Stauksas) put work in to become (first-round picks), and I'm just happy he's getting better," Burke said. "It's great for the program, too. It shows what type of program the University of Michigan is and the direction it continues to go in."

Larkins is a Toledo commit; Ricketts holds MAC offers. Just thought it was interesting.
It's been an interesting recruiting year. It seems like when Rodriguez was here, everyone thought "Will such-and-such mediocre recruit get offered?" Now that Hoke is here and seems to be going after better talent nationally (and not just in Florida), these second- and third-tier recruits aren't even discussed.
Ruben Lile from Cass Tech? Eh, nobody cared that he's headed to Iowa. Stephon Hall? Who's he? Evan Winston out of Muskegon has barely generated a peep on Michigan message boards.
I don't think there's any question that Hoke's approach to recruit has changed Michigan fans' attitudes.
My biggest question with Hoke coming is was whether he had the name and ability to recruit top talent and he's clearly answered that question. He's also exceeded my expectations in terms of offensive philosophy such that we did not return to Lloydball as I was worried we might.
same here, wonder what the qualifications for nomination and selection are??
made the list as well.
Saw him play footbal and basketball this year. Kid has zero conscience. He will throw or shoot to/from anywhere.
That's one reason I'm glad he's headed to Missouri.
Why is Diamond a former target?
Pretty sure it should be Prescott Line, not Lane. Stinks for the kid that they couldn't get his name right. His brother was a bit of a miss for Rodriguez. Would be the big back that Hopkins hasn't been. I can't help but wonder if the younger brother will be another one that should've gotten a better look.
how in the #$@%& do they pick this team? A lot of big names missing. And who is Nathan Ricketts? Hard to believe they have him as the best LB in MI with Biggs and RJS.
Ricketts has a few offers and has (unofficially) visited Michigan. He's actually a pretty decent player who's been putting up good numbers since his sophomore year. I don't think he's better than James Ross, but he's no slouch.
but looks like that's actually a rough draft as they left out Darboh at WR, Bolden, RJS and Ross at LB, Magnuson/Pipkens for lineman, and Richardson and Wilson as DB's.
Goochland, VA. Sorry, the market is killing me today, I needed a chuckle.
Unless you were actually trying to upset Justin Verlander.
Barkley Hill is a guy Michigan should have taken a look at IMO. Big kid who I think is just as viable of an option as Drake Johnson.
I cant start a topic, but since this is about lineman, I figured that I'd put it here... I'm interviewing for a medical residency position at Stanford today and just walked past Josh Garnett on his tour of the medical school and hospital. I have him a quiet "Go blue" and got a big grin from him and his father...
I know.... "Cool Story Bro"...
I would have preferred you pretend to be on the phone advising your patient that they would recieve the best care at U of M hospital and as you hang up say to yourself "If I could just do this all over again."
