Michigan HS football all star game
I just saw on tv that the Michigan High School all star game is on right now but its almost over, If you want to watch it tonight it will air again at 8 pm on WTVS2 if you have comcast in the pontiac area its channel 287. The only Wolverine who decided to play in the game is Desmond Morgan #48 on the West team.
Notable participants I saw:
WEST
#1 Onaje Miller
#44 Desmond Morgan
#67 Anthony Zettel
#93 Damon Knox
EAST
#6 Ashton Gaines
On the website it has Morgan listed as #48 and did Gaines commit anywhere?
Yeah, sorry, #44 is Morgan's number for when he's at Michigan. He was #48 in the game.
Gaines didn't commit anywhere yet, AFAIK. Last I heard he was likely headed to D-II, but that was just a random message board post, IIRC.
I can't start a thread of my own, but just wanted to pass along some info that I saw from the Blue Board at 247 from ScoutExile:
Hmm... just got an e-mail from someone who's well-connected, and I trust.
To summarize:
Good news re: Pipkins may be forthcoming.
Kalis to Michigan might happen soon.
No shocker, but Jarrod Wilson is likely silent. He's heard contradictory claims on whether Wormley is silent or not, too.
Bri'onte Dunn? Not so great news. Right now, it looks like it's going to take substantial sanctions, including a multi-year bowl ban, for him to switch his commitment.
Guess we'll find out eventually either way, but thought I'd pass along some more rumor mill info for us to chew on.
Good find do you have a link?
My fault, completely forgot to provide it. Here you go:

Very telling not sure how reliable the source is but always good to hear good news about recruiting. Dunn would be a great flip to Michigan but of all the top prospects at least RB has some depth that could withstand him not coming to AA. Lots of time left before signing day.
Ohio State just offered Pennsylvania RB Greg Garmon, so it doesn't seem like OSU is very confident that Dunn is going to stick with the Buckeyes. I don't know if that's good for Michigan or not, but it sounds like it's good for SOMEONE other than OSU.
And it isn't as if they are just looking for another back, they still have Ball committed. Two backs committed and offering another elite kid doesn't add up unless they're expecting to lose someone.
and here are a few things that stood out to me.
- Cass Techs QB Moore is a very good athlete and if it werent for his size he would probably be playing D1. He was the most impressive offensive player out there today.
-Desmond Morgan is solid. Same his stick the East running back at a full run and stopped the running back dead in his tracks then drove him back a yard or two.
-The Michigan State boys Knox and Vento were unimpressive. Knox was a head case and about every 3rd play he was in someones face after the play and one time I believe got an unsportsmanlike penalty. He didnt look great coming off the edge today and got sealed a couple times easily. From what I understand Vento is going to play QB at State and he had a very bad day. Was telegraphing passes threw 2 interceptions and had 2 more int's dropped.
-Onaje Miller is a real good running back. It took 2 to 3 defesive players to take him down.
