Lorenz Comments on MGo radio post OSU

After a very insightful segment last week, Lorenz from 247 rejoined Ace and Brian for a lengthy segment post OSU.  Comments below as best as I can transcribe.

Note if a player's name is not listed below he was not discussed. (i.e. Walker)

http://www.wtka.com/2012/09/06/podcasts/

DL Jordan Elliott (!!) - all 4 of them

• See him as sticking with UM if for nothing else than to prove doubters wrong.
• UM coaches can see him as an outside or inside player (DE/DT) - same for Camp & Gary due to athleticism for all 3.

DL Keyshon Camp

• Ace said he was surprised Camp left campus without committing since he paid his own way for an unofficial. 
• Lorenz said he was put off by weather and "re-affirmed" committment to USC.  Lorenz does not see him going to UM now.  USC confirming coach appealed to Camp.
• A disappointment on Michigan's end - when recruiting Texas, Florida, California kids this is going to happen.

CB Lavert Hill

• Going to keep dragging it along and go on all 5 official visits and wait til UA AA Game Jan 9 to announce.
• Doesn't know what schools he will go visit.  But doesn't take away from UM's chances.  UM feels supremely confident.

WR Donnie Corley

• Pursuit of Corley is rooted in connection with Hill. i.e. hope they can get a "package deal".  Corley "may" not commit Dec 8.

ALL Mecole Hardman

• Brian says Hardman said generic nice things; didn't see movement on Hardman.
• Lorenz thinks he stays down south.  Maybe TN.  GA seemed to be the fav b4 firing.
• Loves Jeremy Pruitt.

TE Isaac Nauta

• GA firing coach works out for UM of course.  Nauta had great relationsip with staff.  Proximity is big for Georgia.  GA barely uses TE.
• UM coaches confidence as never been higher post firing.
• Nauta may go to GA after new coaches announced to visit.
• Lorenz thinks fit is too good - if Nauta goes to GA it sure doesn't have to do with "TE things" and fit.
• Nauta wants EE.
• Lorenz wouldn't call UM favorites.

WR Pie Young

• Thought he would commit this weekend.  Other finalists FSU & Bama and those schools have other players higher on board so he is not a take for them at this point.  Only UM would take him right now (edit: of those 3 schools).
• he might be waiting to see who Miami hires.
• Still would be surprised if he is not part of class.

WR Velus Jones

• Probably UM or Oklahoma if he leaves USC.  Had a great official to OK prior week.

WR Dylan Crawford

• Went radio silent post Oregon visit.  He is a quiet kid as it is.  May decide at Army UA game.

WR Eddie McDoom

• Will take official Dec 11. 

Some trepidation they dont get any of these guys as they are trying to get some high end recruits (Corley / Crawford) and could miss on those and then lower targets could be elsewhere.

LB Dontavious Jackson

• UM did very well with Jackson.  He is a huge priority for UM.  Obvious need on field vs OSU helped. (silver lining of getting a$$ kicked I guess)
• UM made it crystal clear with current LB situation he is a guy who could come in and compete immediately to play.
• LSU FSU Texas other challengers.
• UM at very least should be in til the end

CB Chis Brown

• Same as last week - Texas v UM as top 2.  Dad loves Wolverines.

DL Rashad Weaver

• Brian: Scheduled visit to Temple - is this prelude to decommitment? Lorenz - maybe.

OG Terrance Davis

• UM remains in great shape.  No known competitors who are serious.  Maryland Lorenz guesses is one (Durkin!)
• Last week Lorenz said Davis *or* Delance not both in class. That has changed now.  Would take Davis now if he says yes.
• Mom and grandma came with him.
• Will he wait to commit at UA game? Maybe.
