Submitted by Magnus on

Michigan offered Oak Park (MI) Oak Park offensive guard Justin Rogers, who's in the class of 2020. He has offers from Arizona, MSU, Ohio State, and Tennessee, along with some others. Michigan has offered some other Oak Park products in recent years like Marquan McCall (Kentucky) and John Kelly (Tennessee) without success.

is he a guard or tackle?

 

seeing as this is for 2020 another G is fine - but 2 tackles each year should be our target with 1 or 2 interior guys since tackles can always move inside unless too tall

I'm sorry Michigan didn't pursue McCall more actively. I have a feeling that, like Terrance Davis, we're going to regret letting him slip away.

As a side note, we did successfully recruit Ja'Raymond Hall from Oak Park.

He has a 3.3 GPA. He was recruited by both M and MSU but they backed off after an injury his junior year. From the Detroit News:

"No doubt, McCall was on college coaches’ radar during his sophomore year, already owning multiple offers, including Michigan and Michigan State, but those schools backed off after his injury early during the 2016 season, which resulted in him undergoing surgery on his left knee.

"Still, Kentucky remained hot on McCall, showing its desire to bring him to the Southeastern Conference school, and he jumped on board. He has a 3.3 grade-point-average and plans to major in communications."

and michigan is late to the party. I think its because he is on the short side for OT, in my mind he'd be an Elite C or G. Also, they seem to be currently hosting him for a visit, with A2 being only about 40 mins away, shouldn't be too difficult to swing back into a good position for him. Need to get the "Best players in michigan, play for michigan" slogan running again, worked for the 2017 class with Malone-Hatcher running the twitter recruiting.
